Yes, it is important just to be not short, I don't care to become tall.

Quote from: Soopz on September 05, 2015, 02:53:57 PMIf i was 173/4 cms, I'd never been on this site! If I gained an inch to 173cm I doubt I'd ever think about my height again. I'm jealous of people that are just at 5'8. It really is the cut off point for being short. At 170cm i just look on the short side. It's mentioned to me by taller guys, and often 5'8 5'9 guys will be present during the jokes and not receive any short jokes.

Plus if you look at celebs like
Kanye West
Eminen
Zac Efron
Johnny Depp
Kit Harrison
Jeremy Reiner ..... All are around 5ft8 and not deemed short.

The last thing I seem to notice is there considerable more amount of girls at 5'6 5'7 height than at 5'8. Meaning at 5'8 you just push out mojority of girls taller than you. Of course there are few 5'8 to 5'9 girls but much fewer and most those are known as being tall.

So bottom line at 5'8 I'm done and out! Il get on with life a lot happier!

5'8" is good against most girls, especially if you have a good body and good facial aesthetics. My only gripe with being 5'8" is that it's still considerably short compared to many other guys. I feel like it's on the brink of being average, but not quite. But against women, it's pretty good, I will say that.

My opinion is that perfect height for a male is around 184cm.
Saying that i think that if you are still short after surgery you will have some degree of height neurosis but the important thing is not to be at a perfect height . Is just to go out of the very short range to aboid discrimination.
At 5'8 one could still be short but most people wouldnt discriminate you for your height. In respect to women the important thing is to be taller than most of them .

As you just said "perfect" don't get carried away with "perfect". 5'8 you will now avoid being actively discriminated for bring short, you are now not really that short. You have accomplished your goal. Question if you were naturally 5'8 before LL would have ever had LL done?

For me the perfect  height is 5-8cm above average height than region where live(my opinion). If i could choose my height i will be 190cm.

Quote from: microman on September 03, 2015, 12:34:09 AMwell personally i think its incorrect to call 5 8 and 5 9 short where the average is 5 10, since its more below average than anything, its like if i was 5 11 and called myself tall, i woudn't because its not true.

also a 5 8 male can call a 5 5 male 'little man', but no one would call a 5 8 male 'little man' like ever, there is a clear cut off somewhere.

how do u know this microman?.. where are you pulling this from? you have no experience of being a man of that height so how on earth would you know.. i know people who are 5'8 and they get called short all the time... the reason you probably never experiecne a 5'8 man being called short is because when you are there at 5'5 than they are no longer the short guy.. i dont mean to be a bearer of bad news for those 5'8 and shorterbut its the truth.. from experience this is the level of discrimination you will get at certain heights.

6'0 - 6'2 - almost never be seen as short unless you are around a group of abnormally tall men, or a basketball team
5'10 - 5'11 - very occasionally, if you are from a tall family than can happen more than normal, out with a group of friends who are in the normal tall range of 6'0 to 6'2 you may be called short out of jealousy of other qualities you have, or just boys having generally harmless banter..
5'9 - occasionally be called short but normally just seen as very average
5'7-5'8 - pretty much always been seen as the short guy due to the fact that you are noticeably shorter than the average person, however not so short that people will reguraly comment on it
5'6 and below -  face extreme discrimination whether it be with women, socially out with friends etc.. can really effect how people treat you and respect you

These are the facts if you are living in any are with an average height of 177/8.. ive experienced people with all these heights first hand and its always the same..

Hi!

I am new in this forum. I used to be a lurker but reading the topic i decided to write something.

From what I have read here i could assume that being taller is always better. It is not. I am, like many of you, from a country where people are tall but I don't think that being 6' 3" is better than 6'. I have played a lot of sports during my lifetime and I have noticed that people from range  5-11/6-1 have are the strongest and the fastests one. Explosivness, power and muscle coordination are on their side. I don't understand why people consider for exaple 6'3" as the perfect height. Just for for the sake of being taller than most people? It is stupid. Thinking like:"O my God. He is taller than me. He is better" is ridicoulus. A friend of mine is 6' 5" and one time he said he wished to be around 6' 1". Being very tall cause many problems with back and overall fitness ability.

I know that this topic is not about the perfect height but every topic comes to that.

I hope I don't offended anyone and sorry for my english.
