The standard deviation in height statistics tends to be about 2 inches; that's why medical experts consider those four inches below or above 5'9 (about the American average), to be of short or tall stature (ex: 5'5 and below is short, and 6'1 and above is tall).

I agree with this^^

newheights23 pay no attention to these stupid people, they exaggerate the averages because they have mental conditions called height neurosis.

ForcedPuberty sure has a lot of insults.  Calling people incorrect, ignorant, stupid, etc.  He sounds like an immature, know-it-all, punk kid.  FP, can you try to make an argument without sounding like a complete @sshole??

Yeah, Ikr? What's the deal with that guy? He presents no arguements when it comes to anything. He's a bitter little bitch.

Morning height or late night? I always wondered if these studies did morning or night, either way I should be 183 late night, which i would love to be, i have a thin muscular build,76 cm arm length, and short tibias, i've been doing sports which involved My lega as i result i developed longer femurs from adapting to it.
I'm currently 177.4 night, and its not a bad height at all, just not the dream height which I think it's 6'1 cause in my book its the maximum for "tall but not to tall", which is less imposing but more attractive than a 6'5

You could be right. I am thinking about it from a more personal point of view that affects us in our society.

5ft 7 is viewed as short. I know. I am 5ft 7. I am treated differently than those who are 5ft 10 . Noticeably.

I am treated the same as those guys 5 ft 6 and 5ft 8 , even 5ft9 to a moderate degree

I am treated better , and taken more seriously than a guy 5ft 5 or 5ft 3 and so on.

So this is what I have seen in the real world. However, I am white. A chinese guy who is 5ft 7 may very well attract the better looking asian babes (lucky guy)

In Denmark a guy 5ft 10 is picking up the fat chicks. So its all relative to how we are perceived I guess

I'm here because I want to be exceptional in every part of my life--including height. I've never been treated differently because of my height.
