I think it’s really dumb that people think 5’7" (170 cm) is short for males.
The typical height of the human male is anywhere from 5’5"–6’0" (165–183 cm).
5’7" isn’t short; it is stupidly average.

It depends wildly, but 170cm might be short in the US, especially for some age groups since 175cm seems to be the average for everyone over 20.
From 2015–2018, the average height for males in the United States ages 20 and over was 69 inches (175cm)
For Finland, for males 18+ that average is 177cm. You can be your ass I’m short at 169cm. And you do not want to go “well, in the Philippines I would be above average” lol

Well see that’s why I didn’t go by just US statistics. That link I cited states US statistics as well as worldwide. It would be ignorant of me to make a species-wide claim by using a dataset that only includes 5% of the world population, after all. :)

It does use feets and inches as the measure. That narrows it down a lot.

Could also be the UK, to be fair. The foot units may be different, but both nations use the International Foot.
In any case, I don’t really see the region as being relevant; the meme may be limited to a particular region, but I was objecting more to the whole notion of that stereotype. Which is the same regardless of the unit used

This entire thread makes me so sad. I didn’t expect this level of discrimination here on lemmy. I was even told this was the good part of the internet…
Even the #1 rule of this instance is about being respectful, but somehow, threads like this exist and are highly upvoted, with comments endorsing them.
I saw some of the comments you received on here, and I’m sorry for you.

Thanks. I’m disappointed too. I guess I should have known better than expect some people to be anything less than immature children.

Sounds like epic cope from a manlet.
I am 5’6.

Who me? Hell no, bruh, I’m a fucking woman. Lol.

I’m a 5’3" woman, but it explains why we don’t think 5’7" is short.
EveryMuffinIsNowEncrypted@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 months ago
I mean, I’m pretty sure I explained why I don’t think 5’7" is short pretty well. It’s a statistically unsupported claim.
