https://tall.life/height-percentile-calculator-age-country/

For an adult male, American:

5'8 is "below average", 32.9 Percentile
5'7 is "below average", 21.7 Percentile

For a male in his 20s:

5'8 is "below average", 31.2 Percentile
5'7 is "below average", 20.1 Percentile

Data can be checked with other sources, such as:

https://www2.census.gov/library/publications/2010/compendia/statab/130ed/tables/11s0205.pdf
Data only for Americans, you can see that the percentiles are even higher (33.1 and 20.6)

(find the line for a 20 year old)


If you are a troll (most likely), I rate you 6/10. You got me, but you are not original at all. If you are being serious, then the BDD is strong in you if you want to call >20% of male adults "super short", and even stronger if you actually believe this:

Some people here can't admit it maybe to feel better with themselves.
But if they don't think their height is a major problem, why they are on a forum that has to do with a so hard (but the only) surgery to change it?

We must be realistic. Noone sane person would do this surgery to become a little better. The 5-7 cm difference in a mans height (if he is from short to just less than average) makes a huge difference, much bigger than having a little better face or sume bigger muscles or anything else.
If you are tall, then with some changes in your appearance and not a very ugly face you have much chances in dating while being short is enough to not have almost any.
If that doesn't make height (or the lack of it to be more specific) the most important trait in a man's appearance then I really can't understand why some people are here and think about LL.

Better go to a gym or buy some good clothes if you are short but height is not the most important thing for you in terms of looks.

I am pretty sure there are forums for cosmetic surgeries for the face (ears, nose, eyes, or whatever) which are much more active than this one. Face is as important as height and unlike height which under a certain threshold becomes an immense obstacle (I would say that under 170cm-168cm height starts to become an unattractive trait) an ugly face (which after speaking with women friends, exes, current GF most guys have) is a huge obstacle no matter what. There are many more ugly guys than too short to date guys

We are talking about height in the realm of college campuses not in the realm of other places. In the everyday world the average height is 5'10 but not on college campuses, bars and clubs

Thant's just because shorter people - especially males - tend to avoid crowded places with lots of taller people
In university/college they have no choice and thus, heights are definitely more diverse.

I don't think thats true.
I don't know about campuses but at clubs I truly think that the average height is at max 1 inch more than the average men's height in each country.
And no, 6.2 is not the average in clubs. In my country that the average height for men is 1.78 in clubs when I wear my shoes with lifts and become about that height, I feel just a little less than average (keep in mind that a bare feet 1.78 man is easily 1.81 with shoes so if my real height was the one that I have with my shoes on I would be completely average even in clubs).
So maybe the average man is 1.80 in the clubs while generally is 1.78 in my country but not more.
And still there are many men less than me but hardly anyone has a good looking woman with him.

But I think that in clubs the problem is the small difference between average or a little less height men with average height women with heels.
The difference is small or zero which makes taller guys have an easier job because women think their height with heels on and many times I am about the same height with 5.6ft girls who without heels are way shorter than me.
Thats the bad thing in clubs, not the average height of men.

Honestly I am not sure if I would say 5'10 is average among young white males. I think 6' is the average but it doesn't matter. In my case I would be happy with even 5'9.

Also these guys are saying that you can do ok with a height of 5'7 or less and that makes no sense honestly. They are severely underestimating the importance of height to women. The taller the guy is the better he does with women. Once individuals understand that they can explicate their success.
