I measured myself tonight :170,5. I know there is only 0,5, but for me it's bigger so I feel really depressed
I try to talk about with my parents, impossible. They can't understand me. The only thing I success is obtain antidepressants and a lot of meeting with "doctors" to "discover my discomfort"

Same contastation : there is like under 10 girls taller than me in my university (average woman height is 165 here), I'm taller than a lot of men (average man height is 177). And France height average is probably one of the smaller average. According to me, I really doubt about the height average in Belgium (181 cm officialy). How can 50 % of the population be above 181 ? It seems belgium average is near french average, this 4cm of difference seems really big (and there is a lot of migrants from Africa in Belgium, so).
Now for other countries I can tell. For Switzerland and UK it seems it's near France. I heard that estonian women are the tallest with an average of 170 cm or more. Dutch men are the taller with an average of 184. What do you think about ?
Korean (South) average is 173 cm (it was much lower in the last century).

Even with an operation I will feel depressed as now much sportmen are listed at 6'3 6'5
6' is judged too small for a male model, and 5'10 is the average of female model
Hard for me to heard than I can't be a female model (5'8 minimum)

Why do you want to be a model anyway? And there were always tall sportsmen, actors, politicians, this was true 30 years ago and it's true now. Nothing's really changed.

If I could be a model, why not. But thats impossible
No, no and no (for politicians). For example Saddam Hussein and Gaddafi or Trump, you can easily see they were liar
Trump pretend to be 6'3, he can't be taller than 6'1

Trump looks quite tall to me. I'd say he's 6'2" honestly

Impossible. Clearly.
Maybe when he was young, but impossible actually
The fact he lies about this topic is the proof he is insecure as many politicien
Real tall politician : Bachar el-Assad (189) looks a lot taller than Trump in term of proportion. But thats not a proof, because Assad is tiny and Trump is really big

Yes, I think also
Also his wife who pretending to be 180 cm is a liar also
and his son pretend to be 196 lying probably
196 is very rare
Many sportmen lies, for me Tony Parker can't be 188 cm (183 at best)

Virtually all NBA players have their height exaggerated, even if you measure them with their shoes on (Garnett and Durant being notable exceptions). Most 7-footers are on the 6'9-6'10 range.

Semi-related to this topic, this pic always gets me:

A 6'1 guy being insecure about his height... do you think he will join this forum soon?  Real height average (Europe)

Kate Moss was 5'7, so are a few other models. But I get what you're saying. 170.5 isn't that short at all. A lot of celebs and models (at least modeling agencies will add or take away 2 inches) do exaggerate their heights though.
If you do get LL don't go too crazy.
