Do you guys think there height that would be acceptable all around the world as tall, in all generations, never mind young or old.
For instance if i would be 187-188 cm, would it be tall in Germany as tall as it in Usa?

25th percentile in height of a country is when you're just short but 'normal' and not short short. 35th percentile is when you're short to pretty much only demanding women, but literally no one besides really judgemental people will bat an eye or consider you "short" anymore.

So 5'7 and 5'8 respectively for America, assuming you're in a city that has at least some diversity and isn't 90% white.

Probably 5'9.5 and 5'11 for Netherlands/Germany

6'2 would probably be taller end of average, shorter end of tall in Germany/Netherlands. Still tall

In the USA you are definitely tall tall, again assuming you're not in like Montana or shiet, in which in that case you'd just be normal tall

5'11. You guys are obsessed with the other people's height. You don't need to be taller than most of the people.
The important thing is to look taller proportionally. Like when you are walking alone etc. When you are 5'11, it's enough to look tall from far away. When you wear oversized sh*t you'll still look tall. That's what it matters.
You guys think that you should tower over people to look like more of an "alpha" male. Ridiculous. The only important part of height is when you walk down the street, you look tall. That's 5'11. Not 6 ft or above.

The benefits start from 6ft though. When you are 5'11, you'll look tall proportionally. Literally nobody could call you short unless they are idiots.
After 183cm to 188cm, it's the BEST height a male could ever achieve. 190cm and more is bullsh-t. If people claim that they should hit 190cm to feel good, it means they have sh*t features such as character, face, mindset and they think being 6'3+ will make them cool. LOL.

Let me sum it up. 180cm is where you are NEVER considered short. You'll look tall from a distant eye.
183-188 cm. Considered tall enough. You'll have the hypothetical height requirement for an "alpha" male. 185 is the legitimate best height. Because being too tall is not cool.

Let me give you an example. I'm 174-3 cm. I had a friend who was 183cm with a good style, not a bad face. We used to be cool friends at the first year of the high school. We hung up all the time at the canteen, the yard of the school. Literally people told me that he looked like my slave. I was like wth? He's taller than me? He should have taken more attention? Nope. Just nope LOL.

At the end of the year, I stole his girlfriend unintentionally anyway. so you consider.


edit: The reason why I want to be 185cm is that I think I should keep the tibia/femur proportion well in order to keep my bio-mechanics standard.
the second reason, 180cm is good with one femur surgery, yes. But as I said 185cm is the best height so. Why not reaching it? I have a wingspan of 180cm and I can achieve the best height without risking too much of the amount (like 9cm on femurs, 7 cm on tibias etc.) Only 7+5 would be enough for me. Which is considered safe.

Height shouldn't matter when you're a solid average among your age and social group where you live, so 5'10" in the west and 2" below average is still acceptable (5'8", mayyyybe 5'7") and I don't think you should face heightism at that point and blend in just fine. Ideal would be 3 to 5 inches above average (6'1" - 6'3") not any more or less than that.

2 inches below average to average is acceptable
Solid average to 2 inches above is decent
More than 2 inches above average is good

Finally, a person who finds it appropriate to approach this issue in the right way. I'm 5'8 and nobody ever called me short tbh. But I know I look short from distance.

Same but the average is maybe 5'8.5" at my school. When the topic of height came up my 5'10" friend said I was "short but not really" but then another 5'8" friend described someone else the same height as me as very short lol although nobody really comments on my height otherwise.

I would say you'll be fine at worst if you're 3 inches below average but only if you have a good face and proportions to support it although you would stand out more as short but nothing less like another friend of mine who's 5'5.5" and does well with girls with his looks but any shorter and I can imagine it would look very bad. Otherwise just 2" below, at about that personally I feel short but can also feel average at times.

Yes, at that height you would be tall in pretty much every country on Earth right now

At 5.8, almost noone call you short.
But the majority of women think you are not tall enough to look very attractive. If you have good style, body, face, many of them won't reject you byt still your height is a drawback. If you are less than 5.7, that drawback is that big that the majority of women won't really care about your other traits (face etc).

So the first border to be acceptable for a woman to most west countries (maybe not on Scandinavia and a few countries also with very tall peole) and have no problem with men (jokes etc) is 5.8.
But height doesn't matter after 5.11-6 ft. And if you are more than 6.2-3 max, height is a disadvantage.
So, the best height for men is anything between 5.11-6.2. Period.

Exact the same thoughts BodyBuilder,

I'm also 173 and nobody called me short. Literally lel. I have always been quite the good with the girls, but I don't care about them at all anyway. I just want to fix my "image", I just wanna fix how I look to myself. I hope you get what I mean.
