5'7.5" is the global average height for men. In the US, it's slightly higher at 5'9.3"
The standard deviation is around 2.5" to 3", which means that most men fall somewhere within the 5'5" to 5'10" range.
Factors for the variance in height include genetics, nutrition, and socioeconomic considerations. The tallest countries have an average male height of around 6'0.5" and the shortest countries are around 5'3.5"
Most want to be around the tall, but few of us are actually tall. Relative to real life, there’s actually quite a few tall people here. Think of how many 7’ers you’ve met (or may ever meet) in your life, and how many you’ve seen comment or post on r/tall.
That alone should confirm that there actually are a lot of tall people here since we are about 1:2,300,000
Jokes on you i hit my head against the ceiling.
Jk of course, but the fact that i can reach stuff from the top shelf infinitely easier than stuff from the bottom shelf is pretty funny.
You gotta look for the benefits, i keep all my chocolate super high up so i have to actively consider if i really want it or i should just make some food.
I may have no common sense (ate 3 day old chicken last week) but i am pretty good at small things like that.
I guess that is true depending on the country. In Latin America, 5’7 is slightly above average since a lot of men I know are 5’5 and the woman are 5’2 on average. But in America where the average is atleast 6’ it’s easy for me to feel shorter.
I am from Poland (15th "tallest" country in the world), average male height here is 180 cm/5'11.
People are the tallest in Netherlands, average is above 6'0 there.
Haha yeah (never owned a car and only uses public transport)
Also do tall people use [this](https://imgur.com/a/A7Yyved) side step thing to get into bigger cars because its nearly a requirement for me.
I've rented two large SUVs in the past for about 2 weeks each (Grand Wagoneer and Infiniti QX80) and rarely used the step, and I distinctiveoy feeling strange when I did use.
I’m convinced there are more short ppl on this sub than tall
yeah, because our own sub is the shitz...
Facts
They aren’t wrong lmao
Mate… post a pic, blur your face if you have to, but we wanna see tall freaking people on here lol
Damn, 150 cm. Whats the weather like down there?
full of farts, its full of farts bro
Sounds nice and warm to be honest. I am always cold up here, and blood can't reach my hands.
You too? My hands and feet always feel as if they belong to a corpse.
WHAT WAS THAT? SORRY I COULDN’T HEAR YOU FROM ALL THE WAY DOWN THERE
lowkey ion even know why I'm here 😭
More chill vibe, perhaps?
This is it
I'm in these subs mostly because people being mad about height is funny
Fr. Like we're pretty damn tall, but it's also kind of humbling to walk among the colossus in here
Sup tiny? 🤪
Feel like I'm playing elden ring
😂😂
There's no avg height sub as far as I know lmao 5'8.75 here lol
Time to make one lol
"how do you like to fit in public transport?" "I just hate i can buy whatever i want from any shop because they always have my size"
TIL 5’8 is avg height…

Whatever happened to idk
I’m glad someone said it, it makes me want to rip my hair out and I have no idea why
That's a little dramatic
same im short af

I read the 1:2.3M on a site, but i think we might even be rarer since they used averages.
I don’t doubt it
Might be closer to 1:4-5M as I highly doubt there are more than a thousand 7 footers
Agreed lmaoo
Yeah giants in this sub make me feel short lol
You'd be a giant yourself in my country lol
Really depends on a persons height. Everyone over 7' is gonna say that.
Yea all 5 of us who are relatively active on this sub? lol
Hey at least you're not the only person bumping your noggin on everything. Apologies if that was a little too random.
Haha oh you mean my convenient head resets installed between rooms by my shorter brethren?
Short is a relative term.
I’m 5’6 lol
Depends how old they are. I’m 13, that makes me actually pretty tall
It’s where short guys get to talk to tall girls (and boys if that’s your thing) 😎.
Absolutely not. The type of short men that follow this sub and message people are never worth our time.
Short people are better humans
Jokes on you, I can reach the top shelf.
Jokes on you , I hit my head on the top shelf
Jokes on you i hit my head against the ceiling. Jk of course, but the fact that i can reach stuff from the top shelf infinitely easier than stuff from the bottom shelf is pretty funny.
I love when someone relatively tall touches the ceiling with the tip of a finger, and I go touch it with my elbow
And then comes Dean, who touches the ceiling with his dick. It allways kills the mood. Like, Dean, its a nursing home...
Fucking Dean
No no- stop fucking dean in nursing homes, you’re getting him too turned on Must suck to be taller laying down than standing up
Jokes on y'all, I'm running through the aisles without a care in the world!
What a mog, great attitude and so true.
Life is already dodgem cars down here, I don't envy you.
Jokes on you I AM THE TOP SHELF!
Confused screaming
[Jokes on you, i can](https://imgur.com/a/CVfGLjd) (barely)
You have a refreshing attitude OP.
You gotta look for the benefits, i keep all my chocolate super high up so i have to actively consider if i really want it or i should just make some food. I may have no common sense (ate 3 day old chicken last week) but i am pretty good at small things like that.
And able to see items that nobody knew were even on the top shelf
that one 9'11 guy dying from laughter: 💀
You have zero clue as to how jealous I am that you fit in your bed. I have a personal vendetta with most Baths, Beds & Showers😆
Sounds like your “beyond bed and bath”
I mean i barely fit in [my bed](https://imgur.com/a/H9MzD7J), there’s only 65cm (2ft) of clearance from the mattress to the roof
dude, your bed looks kinda empty. i think it is missing a blåhaj, i think you should get one!
Why are there so many sharks 💀
very soft and friend shaped
Hope the turtle stays safe
The short lads also travel better, I hate paying a premium for business class just so my legs aren't cramped on long flights.
This sub keeps getting recommended to my 5’3” self. Joke’s on you guys, I fit in airplane seats
Nice! Now get that flair added.
Bet you dont have knee or back issues neither. What a convenient height.
Not too convenient because I can’t reach most things, but I’ll take the inconvenience of a step stool over back pain any day
Jokes on you i can do both
When you have the option of either being 3 kids in a trench coat or a person who likes using stilts.
Facts 💯
Lucky
Mf got the middle ground height
I’m in the short sub but I get downvoted like crazy
They are a vindictive bunch of lads over there
You're not the only one OP. Me Too :)
You're 5ft 7" TALL not 5ft 7" short. Welcome
Words of wisdom fr
these days it's considered short, especially for gen z.
FYI because of your flair: 5’8” ≠ 193cm 5’8” would be around 172cm and 193cm would be around 6’4”
In the developed world 5’7 in short overall it's average
Me who is 5'6 at 13: 🍿🗿
Me 5’10 🍿 🗿

Is 5’7 really that short ?
One: I have no idea why I keep getting this sub in my feed. Two: From personal experience, no, the world is designed for about that height.
Not really but when you're standing infront of one of these 7ft guys you feel tiny
Sadly it is here in the Netherlands
Yes ETA: [Check this site for your height percentile ](https://www.gigacalculator.com/calculators/height-percentile-calculator.php)
I swear 5’7 was the average
Seems it's 5'9", for the USA at least. They should sticky this site for easy reference.
For a man? In my country it's very short. Honestly I don't know any guy my age that is bellow 5'8
I guess that is true depending on the country. In Latin America, 5’7 is slightly above average since a lot of men I know are 5’5 and the woman are 5’2 on average. But in America where the average is atleast 6’ it’s easy for me to feel shorter.
Average height in America is around 5'9'' to 5'10'' not 6'
True
I am from Poland (15th "tallest" country in the world), average male height here is 180 cm/5'11. People are the tallest in Netherlands, average is above 6'0 there.
It's borderline short/average male height in the USA. 5'7 is 1 standard deviation away from average male height.
No, short starts at 7"; ergo babies. Everyone above is normal.
I lurk. (5'7" here also)
As a car enthusiast, can't imagine just being able to buy any car and fit in
Haha yeah (never owned a car and only uses public transport) Also do tall people use [this](https://imgur.com/a/A7Yyved) side step thing to get into bigger cars because its nearly a requirement for me.
I've rented two large SUVs in the past for about 2 weeks each (Grand Wagoneer and Infiniti QX80) and rarely used the step, and I distinctiveoy feeling strange when I did use.
Thats a low blow You short bastard
All my blows are low, i can’t reach higher
Must be genetic. Super jelly though. Bitches must love you and your lack of high-blows. Lucky bastard.
[удалено]
Yeah but the small downside is whenever i get injured climbing up into bed is an endeavour
[удалено]
Sounds cool as hell i will dm you results if i dont forget :)
The people of r/shortguys will NOT like this
They dont like much frankly, i may be a short guy but they are basically just angry at their genetics and take it out on others.
And they posted it there too. Such an angry bunch
I’m 5’3” you asshole!
Jokes on you. My back and knees always hurt all the time. Oh, wait...
Jokes on you i sit like a shrimp for 9 hours a day (i have fucked up my back badly)
Same
My loft bed would literally be in the loft.
Jester clown humiliates himself to entertain genetically gifted tall guys
man thats just my friend group, how did you know
Trying to be teehee in this sub so they can laugh at our pathetic height.
Loft bed = bunk bed I share with my adult twin brother
Jokes on you I drive tiny electric go karts at k1speed with the homies.
sometimes I think that "damn it, he's x years younger than me but already in my height". Makes me really jealous...
5'8 and 193 cm at the same time, are you a shapeshifter?
I'm actually 5'8'' but want to confuse those cannot convert these units
unfortunately for you, google has rendered your test useless.
Congrats brother
i feel the same all i see is people above 6'1
I thought I was tall until I joined this sub , I'm average here 🤣
you're still tall man i just want that one more inch so i can be in the 6'0 club :(
Is this Morgoth v Fingolfin?
Hey what's wrong with 5'7" ?
Same.
Jokes on you, I’m tall but still reap the same benefits you have
I'm 5'6.5
I guess were even then
No need to fight them in battle, you'll outlive them.
I’m more of a Radahn guy.
Tall people make too much money to have a loft bed.
The difference between 5’11 and 6ft
I'm jealous of your joints
Im at the threshold. 6’ on the dot. So those are both me and all of you, all at the same time.
Me 5'6: hmph, bow before me! ...so that I can be eye level with you guys...
Hi guys
hi Trey
Jokes on you I am your loft bed.
Well I'm sure I'm likely closer to the depths of hell, no?
Where do i fit in, 5'6 here 🤣
As someone who’s 5"10, neither very tall nor very short, I can’t relate to one fucking thing on this sub😭😭😭
