Im 5'8-5'9 ( bad posture), average height among Americans in my group is 5'10, but probably closer to 5'11.

Most men in my family are taller, at least 6ft and a few who are like 6'4. Even the women are 5'8ish and taller now.

LMAOOO !!
6cm it's a perfect length and no need to be greedy at our starting height ; as you said at 181 we are perfectly fine and with boots and long legs,  we would look 6/6'1 .
Doctor you willing to go with?

I am trying to understand, bad posture? You could be taller than 5'9 once you adjust posture?

Those fammily members who are 6"4' taller are taller than around 99% of US males!
BTW, what do you mean by "your group" and what's the usefulness of that?
Be it age or ethinic group don't you live your daily life more or less mixed with everybody else?

I agree, I'd never go over 6cm myself and think being just shy of 6ft is perfect. Hoping to go with Paley

No, my max height is 5'9 but I have bad posture due to working at a desk all day. This caused me back issues and I saw an orthopedic doctor who diagnosed me with lumbar lordosis . I have been working on it and my posture is a lot better.

Yes, they are huge men. One is my uncle on my mother's side. My grandmother on my mom's side was herself 6ft tall. The reason I put age and group is because in America, they divide us up by those categories when they report height.

https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/series/sr_11/sr11_252.pdf  I believe this is the latest report about height that we have here.

I am a white male more or less ( some mixture of things thrown in, look white). Asian and Hispanic males are a bit shorter than white and black males in America, though I do see a lot of taller Asian youths now.

Don't mind, "you" are finally getting shorter!  What is your height and what is the average height of your country/group?

I’m 174.5cm (68.75 in) (took the medium between morning and nighttime height). The US average fluctuates a bit, but it hovers from 175 to 177 (5’9 to 5’9.5).  I live in a very wealthy and white area  where peoples height is probably 5’11 on average. So I’m considered short. My friends are super tall at 6’3,  6’2,  6’2,  5’10.5, 5’10 and finally someone my height at 5’8.5. The women in my area don’t even want people who are 6’0 they want 6’1 or 6’3 etc and up. The more wealth the more superficial people get and for my own sanity I need to get the fk out of this cesspool of CEOs and their kids who’s first cars are porsches.
