okay how short is everyone here, this is either pre-LL or even if you're not planning on LL.
I am 164, male average in UK is 175, therefore I am 11cm below the male average.
also this poll is only for short people, so sadly people that are 172cm can't vote, I mean, if you're doing this surgery and you aren't short all the best for you but I'd prefer to keep this poll for short people.
some information on male average by country
UK 175
USA 176
india 165
overall i've tried to keep this poll in with the most common heights selectable, but
I realise the poll doesn't go beyond 13cm below the male average, I know there was a poster on the old forum that was 17cm below the male average called jungle, So i don't mean to offend anyone if you can't vote as your too short.
Yemef you're incorrect, Facts are facts, its not what 'the internet' says, its the scientific surveys that say that, which are then posted on the internet.
if anything they may be 1 or 2cm taller, but they won't be 'way' taller, no survey is ever significantly wrong.
Also, you wont be 2-3cm taller in the morning than you are at night, you could maybe be 0.2cm taller in the morning, this was mentioned on the old forum.
and no you can't 'update' any scientific survey on what you think is the correct height, given that it's based on science, not one mans thought on what he thinks the answer is.
even if you were 168, and the average indian height was wrong by 3cm, you wouldn't even be short, you'd be the male average, even if you were focusing no a younger generation only, that would only change the amount by about 2cm, no one generation has ever grown that much more.
Alittletooshort these is no survey that has even said that, only 175 or 177 i have read.
can we please stick to scientific surveys please.
everyone is saying 165cm in average in india, if you say your 168 at the lowest height, and people call you short or you feel short you need to see a head doctor, because you are at least average height.
FACT
also its not a 'survey', they didn't go round asking a select group of old people how tall they were, then posted their finding on wikipedia.
The scientific survey is here
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21560461
Data from anthropometric measurements were available for 69,245 men and 118,796 women in the age group from 20 to 49 years. The average heights of adult men and women were 165 and 152 cm.
so, yeah, your above average in height, and that is a fact.
Quote from: Yemef on May 15, 2015, 05:47:32 PM Also ive seen on internet that average youth height in india these days is 5'9
wow, care to back any of that up, I guess that scientific study is totally wrong then since they were primarily young people.
Well, I guess Indians are now as tall as UK/US citizens, this is news to us all!
what about KiloKAHN, he himself said he felt average at 165cm, is he speaking rubbish as well?
what about all the fact that every other study done says the indian male average height around 165, and everyone else on the forum that also agrees the male average is much closer to 165 and not 175.
also where is this evidence that indian males are 5 9 again, seems you didn't link me that study.
and who called you short again at 168 in india, did you just make that up?
are there really 3 people here who are around 13cm below the male average, I feel really bad about that, lets hope you can get this problem sorted ASAP.
ugh Yemef sorry but no there is not a special city in a country where everyone is 5cm+ taller than the average height of that country, there is not one single case of this, please man, everyone is saying your way off on your height estimations, in a very polite way i might add!
that study is for children, not fully grown adults.
even if they are 5cm taller than 20 years ago, that study where the average was 165 was done in 2006, not 1992, so it would be more akin to 168 at the most if converted to a 2015 study.
and where is the study that the average height of people is 175/5 9 in india?
you only need to be in a public gathering for 10 minutes to get an idea of the average height,kilokahn has been here for long enough.
everyone is saying the exact opposite to what you claim, not just people, but every online artical, how can everyone, including scientifical studies, be wrong and you are the only one who is right,and obvioulsy very bad mannered and abusive about it.
