Shortest and Tallest cities/states in the US

Edit Post

Quote from: CCMidwest on August 31, 2016, 01:00:46 PMThese are all large diverse cities with larger Hispanic, Asian, and Indian populations.

By far my favorite area in the country is the Pacific Northwest, which is Washington State and Oregon. I personally will be moving to Vancouver Washington in the near future, as it is very close to both Seattle, WA and Portland, Ore, but is a much cheaper place to live than either of those cities.

Thank you, that was very detailed.

Is Bay Area very diverse? I have some family there so it's my first option if I wanna be in US. I'm very cool knowing I'll always be short even at 5'5 post LL but I don't wanna be a midget.

No problem man.

Yeah, it is very diverse. It's one of the most expensive places to live in the country though.

Edit: Best advice I can give you man is live along the west coast or the southern border. I'm not familiar with the east coast that much. I've been there, NYC, Boston, etc...but not long enough to get a feel for it.

After the apartment prices in Mumbai, no apartment is too expensive.

If one literally transferred their dollars to rupees, which should already give you a huge advantage, a good 2 bedroom apartment in a good area would cost $500K to a million. And in an excellent, sea-facing area...4-5 times that. India is cheap everywhere else but houses in big cities, goddamn. Blame the population.

SF's my plan anyway. Much appreciated.

Just don't live in the Dakota's/Minnesota area, ok?

My God, what do they put in the water here?

Whatever it is, it makes people very tall, and very, very stupid.

Interesting information. I agree for most of the cities mentioned here

Hey CCMidwest, thanks for that incredibly detailed contribution above in the post.

What would you say about Michigan? Because Michigan's quite close (geographically) to the states you mentioned.

Nope I'm from Sammamish WA and I didn't feel comfortable at all with 5'7. Even now at 5'11.5 I'm feeling just average.

I am from a major east coast American city (NY / DC / Philly / Boston). One thing I've noticed is that, while the average height in these areas is indeed lower due to the immigrants, the white / upper middle class population is exceptionally tall.  I would say the average young man is around 5'11, maybe even 6'.  Indeed, just last Friday I was out with 10 of my friends (10 guys, also some girls) and I was the only guy under 6' at 5'10.

When you walk around the wealthy residential neighborhoods or the financial district of this city, the average height is noticeably higher than the touristy areas (mostly American tourists but plenty of international people) or middle / working class neighborhoods. In the office building I work, which is full of investment banks, law firms, software companies etc, I feel short at 5'10, even with a half inch wedge in my heel.

At my major east coast university, I noticed that most of the kids from wealthy suburbs of the major east coast cities tended to be higher. Often times, I would wear timberland when going to parties to make up for my relative shortness, and I did notice I got more female attention when I wore them. I really do think 6' is about average for upper middle class white men nowadays.

Anyway, this is why I would like to get a good 6 cm adjustment, even at my average to slightly tall height, as a person can be tall for the population and even tall for their region and still be noticeably shorter than their peers.

There are more average height/tall users on this forum than actual short people lmao. I can't imagine how many doctors who operate on the non-short people are laughing at them after they put them under. As someone who is 5'11, if I found out one of my friends at this height got leg lengthening I would heckle them for the rest of their life. Thanks for the entertainment guys.
