It's a bit subjective, depends on each person's nationality, current height and preference.
For me:
5'2(my current height)- extremely short
5'3- still very short but better
5'4- significantly better than 5'2, still real short
5'5- much better, into the normal range, short
5'6 to 5'8- not short
5'8 to 6- above average to tall
6+- really tall, honestly would rather be 6 than 6+ in India
5"4 very short
5"5 short
5"6 short
5"7 short
5"8 slightly short
5"9 average
5"10 solid average
5"11 slightly tall
6" tall
6"1 tall
6"2 tall
6"3 and above. very tall
5'4 and less extremely short
5'5 super short
5'6 very short
5'7 short
5'8 a bit short
5'9 a little below average
5'10 average
5'11 a litle above average
6 a bit tall
6'1 tall
6'2 tall
6'3 very tall
I am 178 originally. On my ID card it says I am 180. The woman in the police department that deals with these ID documents just asked me how tall I am, I said 180, she believed me and I am officially 180. However, I have asked random girls what they think about my height and they usually say a range of 175 - 180. It is difficult to get the exact size. If I am with formal shoes, then I become 180. I would like to do LL and grow 6 or 7 cm so that I am in the average in the business executives world. I have read somewhere that the average height for the guys in Harvard Business school is about 182.5 and around 30% of the observations were either Chinese, or Indian, or Asian American in general, which supposedly bring down the average significantly. Nevertheless these people should also be SIGNIFICANTLY taller than the average for their countries.
i really doubt the average height in harvard is 182.5 cm, i havn't found anything on google.

Quote from: microman on November 03, 2015, 03:56:03 AMmine are
5' 4“ super short.
5' 5“ very short
5' 6“ short
168-169.5 'a bit on short side' but normal/common, not officially short but not quite within average range.
5' 7“/170+ within average range (1 standard deviation of the mean).
5' 8“ within average range, but closer to average
5' 9“ within average range, close enough to average where you have a 100% great height.
I personally dont put much stock in my height whether i am 5 7 or 5 9, it is more 5 5 vs. 5 7
I didn't bother listing beyond 5 9 because i don't think it is important at all to be taller than 5 9.
Damn, I'm 167cm, so short.
Quote from: Devildog 0331 on November 03, 2015, 02:07:53 PMOuch I thought I was very short at 5' 4" but I completely agree with u. At 5' 6" I will still be short but I could live with going from super short to short.
I live in NYC and it is very rare when I see someone shorter than me but honestly most women are 5' 5"- 5' 6" thats why if I gain 2.5 inches that will mean the world to me.
Most women are 5'6"-5'8", buddy.

TIL 5'6" is not short
I didnt say Harvard in general, I said Harvard Business School. There is a difference. Harvard in general has 21 000 students, whereas HBS has around 2,000 at most. The later basically represent the future CEOs/CFOs/Bankers/Consultants/ that are typically way taller than the average.
I am currently studying at a top business school in Germany, and I can attest, that it is EXTREMELY rare (I cant think of a stronger word) , it is extremely rare to see somebody below 182. The average should be about 184. The girls should AVERAGE 172-3. I know some girls who are also around 180+ (think of Maria Sharapova - blond and tall).
When I walk around in the city, people seem normal, average should be like slightly above 178.

Is this school located in the northern or shoutern part of germany? The regional differences in a country the size of germany are pretty large. The tallest germans probably life in the area around Aachen, right at the durch boarder. I felt tiny at 5'10.
Its around the middle. However, it does not matter since people go there from the whole country. There is hardly anybody in the school who is native in the city itself. You can see students from all German, Austrian, Swiss city, in addition there are many Scandinavians, some US Americans. The three Indians I know are 182, 176 and I guess around a 173-4, way higher than the Indian average. I know a Chinese guy 185.
Business related people are tall ! I read in wikipedia, only 3% of CEOs are below 170 and over 90% of CEOs are taller than the average of their countries, though the influence of height on success is difficult to precisely determine because another factor of success, intelligence, is strongly positively correlated with height as well.
