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

Cause they probably don't mean harm... It sucks when one points out when one is relatively shorter but you just have to differentiate when one entails harm or not.

gym is the worst environment for that.
And I'm pretty sure that if you tell them about the operation they will tell you you assume you
but 10 cm it's not huge either

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.

It's also a matter of culture.. Really... In Israel, most guys who are 185+ are considered too tall and freaks... I guess that being 175 in central europe is equivelant to be 168 in Israel?

175cm can actually be small for this person cepandant 180CM 182 CM is considered relatively large worldwide

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

What environment is that?

I know that feeling, I just came home from a bar. We were 7 guys and I was the shortest out of them, I even wore shoes with higher soles (yeezy sneakers) which give me 1-2cm more than casual shoes. So I was 181-182 and still a couple of cm´s shorter than the second shortest guy in the group.
