Is heightism really that bad in germany? Btw what is average Woman's height there?

Edit Post

I am French but I went in Germany a couple of times , I don't think they are really tall, at 183 cm I felt average even among young men.
In some areas they might be tall.

The germans are noticably taller than the french though, I´ve been to both countries several times and I can tell you that the french are on the lower end of the european scale when it comes to height.
Non the less, 180 is what many consider "normal" so below that you are somewhat short. A friend of mine was called dwarf by a girl a couple of weeks ago and he is 175.

Must have been a tease. No way a 175 guy would be considered a dwarf or extremely short (even in Germany)

It all comes down to the second digit, if it´s a "7" you´re short and if it´s an "8" or higher you´re fine. So even at

are you the shortest male in your family? If so I can relate

It´s the same thing in the US where 6ft is considered ideal by many women, although 5´11 is not much shorter but it sounds way less appealing if you compare them.
I somehow posted it before it was finished.
Edit:
Yes I´m probably 10-12cm´s below my families average height for males, and my mother is the only woman in my family that is shorter than me. Even she is only 3cm´s shorter, so if she wears shoes with thicker soles we are pretty much on the same level.

stop saying french are short just because it makes you feel better
I'am 183 cm at my lowest, i went in Germany where i just felt average , when i compare the youngs in germany and in France, the difference is not so perceptible.
The average for young german is 180.5 cm, the average for french between 18 years old and 65 years old is 176 cm, which means the average height for french young men must be 178-179 cm.I correlated those statistics with dating websites and you know what ?I found similar results
Besides , i have graduated from one of the best engineering school in France, i am a good observer, i know what i am talking, german are just a bit taller.
At 183 cm, i often feel dead average with other white young men, so i'm sorry for you, but even in France you're not above average
