Quote from: NotSoBigBadBruin on November 08, 2020, 07:54:00 AMIt’s weird that standards in China seem to be higher than in many European countries where the average height is much higher. Most women I know just want their partner to be taller than them but don’t have any specific height requirements. I even know a few couples where the woman is taller than the man.
Thanks! I’m still undecided. Although every other aspect of my life is perfect (perfect wife and child, perfect job), I still hate being shorter than almost everyone around me. But I’m fully aware that I’d gain almost nothing from the surgery, except a massive confidence boost (I used to be pretty confident back in my home country but have lost much of my confidence due to being surrounded by giants all the time). I know many users on this forum think I’m crazy, but most of them just don’t know what it’s like to live in a country like the Netherlands.
I was actually in Amsterdam earlier this year and surprisingly it didn't feel like there were a ton of tall people. It felt like any other European or American city. Maybe it's because I was hanging out in the tourist areas or I was looking for giants and didn't see any. I even rode the train a bunch of times and all the young people on there were just "normal" height, not super tall. Most of the guys were around or under 6' and most of the girls were around my height.

You rate the difference between 5'7 and 5'11 "abysmal"? That's interesting. Not saying you're right or wrong...just that I rarely see this view.

Definitely exaggerating but I did feel really short compared to him and he pointed it out and made me insecure and I was probably more like 5'5.5" or 5'6" flat then

Yeah, Amsterdam is a cultural melting pot with lots of tourists and immigrants. But the further you go up north, the taller people seem to be (especially in rural areas). I have a cousin who is 192 cm, and he keeps telling me that the Netherlands is the only place in the world where he feels bang average.

Visiting the Netherlands wearing converse would be an interesting adventure for me to undertake

So, do you believe the difference to be substantial or not? Did you use the word abysmal to get back at him/deflect his insult?

Haha, definitely! 
I miss wearing Converse and Vans Old Skool sneakers. Back in my home country, I used to wear them all the time. Unfortunately, I no longer feel comfortable wearing them.
