It hurts to be called ''that short''

Edit Post

Today at the gym, I was talking about proportions, not the ones we are discussing here haha but the ones regaring cm/kg ratios and the other three guys , 2 Austrians and one Swiss, heights approx. 185, 188, 192-3, were like discussing their kgs and asked me about mine and when I said 69 they were all like - not sure what does that mean compared to your height. Its been 7-8 years since we were that short around 5'10 ... And its funny how they don't even say that meaning harm, its just completely normal to throw some jokes at the short guy in the group I guess they dont really differentiate between 5'8, 5'9 (me), 5'10..

P.S
It didnt help that there was a 6 foot girl laughing with them

People that are between 185 - 192 never really tought about height. Most likely during elementary school they were the weird tall kids, then at some point in high school they realized its actually helpful and just enjoyed it, never really thinking what is the life of the people with average, below average, or significantly below average height like.

175 cm is really small for the environment in which I am. I challenge everybody to come and try to spot 2 guys, both of them below 6'0 having a conversation. In the majority of the situations, you will see two 6'0 + , rarely 6'0 with a 5'10 or 5'11. It is not a rare occasion when one can spot a pack of 5-6 guys each above 6'1 having a a passionate talk

Its German speaking Europe. The same that Alittletooshort describes in the post above

@TIBIKE200,

I ve been to Israel 3 times. Gorgeous beaches, women, great food indeed. Very friendly people. Israel is a beam of light in an area of darkness

I think it has to do with the fact that I am currently studying at one of the most ''prestigious'' private university in Germany. All students are more or less wealthy and are considered to be ''socially favored'' so to say. This has something to do with the principle that in the US the Fortune 500 companies CEOs average 183 and 58% are taller than 183. I would say the same is valid for the situation in which I am right now.
