Would you consider 180 cm to be short for a man?

[sophie]

idk dude, personally I much prefer a short king to a long ass

As a tall person (not that tall but pretty tall) I have some advantages. I can reach the top shelf, usually.
But I can never be comfortable in an airplane, rarely in a car, can't ever buy pants except online, etc, etc.

edit: I have actually put my height in a percentile calculator and it turns out I'm in the 97-98th percentile, 2+ standard deviations above the mean, so maybe that is that tall

Or to put it another way, I'm shorter than 17 out of every thousand adult men in the US.

5ft & 10.8661in I don’t really consider tall. Though I’m only 2.8661in shorter than 5ft 10.8661in (I’m 5” 8’ tall).

If I were to use the ft/in system, I would just say 5ft & 11in.

You have your way, I have mines .

180 cm is approximate in the first place, I wake up a few mm above that, by the afternoon, I've dropped a few cm below that. It's silly to go to 4 decimal points of precision when converting an approximate, rounded measurement in the first place.
The actual, historical Paul Kruger was 170 cm, but that was a good height for the 19th century.

Again: you have your way, I have mine’s. I deal with thousandth of an inch practically everyday and it’s second nature to me. If you’re going to scold me for using thousandths of an inch, keep it to yourself .

So 180 cm is a rounded (down) measurement of my height. 180.4 cm is my true morning height.

Dr. Verwoerd was 185 cm

I don’t know why you’d go Verwoerd when KK at least was on Dancing with the Stars.

I don't see how tall is "more aesthetic". It's as if this is subjective or something

Iirc Lovecraft was unhappy with being (in his view) tall, and google tells me he was 1.79.
Same with Kafka (according to google, he was 1.82).

 

[Sommerswerd]

For Muricans... 180 cm is 5'10"

So no its not short. Its actually slightly tall/average, as in one inch taller than short/average at 5'9". I believe average global male height is between 5'9"-5'10".

As a followup, many American women arbitrarily set 6'0" as their ideal and/or minimum height standard for males in their relationships, for whatever various reasons.

 

[Zardnaar]

I'm 190 cm so 180's short to me lol

Tall for me at 181-82. 190+ might have to look up.

Average male height here is 178cm.

For Muricans... 180 cm is 5'10"

Technically closer to 5' 11"; 5' 10" starts at just under 178cm.

 

[Kyriakos]

Anyone shorter than Giannis is short.

(2.11 metres = 6 11)

I actually have a fairly stocky build, I'm not tiny in terms of frame.

I think Lovecraft was mentally ill.

 

[Kyriakos]

I think Lovecraft was mentally ill.

But wouldn't being aesthetically tall shield him from that? :/

Anyway, he regarded Poe as the ideal of looks, and Poe (again, if google is right) was 1.73.
Meh, 1.72>1.73, Poe was just a charmless tree

all attraction properties are subjective. that said, on average more height is beneficial relative to less in terms of how someone is perceived, unless it's extreme.
