How short are you?

Edit Post

I am about 171 or so in the morning and a flat 170 at night, so I lose about a cm throughout the day, but it's no big deal as everyone experiences a height loss at well throughout the day. I've moved now to Austin, tx and I'd say average white guy is about 177 -179, I know this having experimented with lifts and looking in mirrors and windows while standing in large crowds on 6th street (downtown area of Austin).

So I believe I'm about 7-9 cm shorter than an avg white guy here and about 6-7 cms shorter than the avg guy (all races considered).

Nope dont feel short infact ive so many  times dropped my plans of undergoing this surgery coz i felt average at many occassions and even my maturity towards life made me tthink success and happiness in life is the most important. See carefully i said younger generation and also im pretty sure about it if any one has doubts get to any collegess in india and then speak and also i dont even have height neurosis at all i just wanna be perfect all around so height would add fruit to that requirement and who doesnt want extra height when it can be not so difficult to be obtained from internals. Coz i would never do externals coz of the span and risks because this is a short life and im not gonna waste 1-2 years in my life coz im certain ill be doing this surgery after my marriage. Also ive seen on internet that average youth height in india these days is 5'9

Also i do thinnk i was harsh and im sorry for that but microman was like its impossible but how can he say that for certain because i live in this country and know it better. Ofcourse i may be average among older people(though i aint maybe because my family members are tall)

Average Indian woman height is like 153 cm. Women are very short here, maybe few tall women but they really stand out and a guy is considered lucky if he gets with a tall woman.

Height of average Indian man I would say is 167 cm. 175 cm or above is like movie star status here.

It's also possible that heights vary considerably by region. Although most will agree 5'9 to 5'10 is the average American height, in south Texas dominated by Mexican Americans the average is more like 5'6-5'7. In the Midwest there are some reallyyy tall people and all the pictures of my brother, who is 5'9.5 were of him being towered by what seemed like every guy. In New York Italians are shorter than your avg white guy. The same could be true in India based on nutrition, historical tallness for a region and so on, but it doesn't change the possibility that overall if you combined the whole population that the average may be closer to 167, I'm curious if that's the average for 20-29 or 20+ hmm.

movie stars?? So many movie stars are short here. I do agree 170 maybe average if u sum up whole country but my generation people are for sure tall mahn and girls at 153 is still good though.

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.

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!

Are you in your righteous mind?? I said youth and the given age is average. Next thing is 65k men is nothing comparred to ~65 million males that live in india. As l said dont speak rubbish infront of me and if u want come to india ill happily let you stay in my home and well both go around india and then you can see for yourself about average male youth height

Edit Post

I didnt say i was short even in one of my main post ive even said i feel average sometimes but im sure average youth's male height(atleast  where i live)is way above 165 way way above and if ur so dizzy pm me ill send u sccreenshots where ive been called short and also im certain my average height on a good day is ~170

Edit Post

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?
