Girls, why is 5'9 considered short for men now?

[Anonymous]

As someone that's even under 5'7 I can still remember when my height was just considered short and 5'9 was just average, but now all I see are 5'9 men being rejected or getting sympathy for being short. So what now I'm an extremely short person? I'm legally a dwarf now? Please stop doing this...

The average height is getting taller. At least in my country it is.
5'9 is what, 175 cm, and that is average/short in my country at least.

The average height for men in my country (ah, it's Denmark), is 180 cm.

Jesus H Motherfucking Christ, if it’s not penis size it’s height. When are guys who drone on about height ever going to shut the fuck up. Most of us don’t fucking care about height.

Someone that is 5'9 might not have to worry about height but I'm 5'5, please understand how my height would be an issue for most women.

No your height is not an issue for most women. If you get off the keyboard and get out among people you’ll discover that.

Stop reading BS online, it is getting pathetic.

5'9 has never been average.

[Asker]

Google the average male height in the US, it's always been 5'9.

[LeeannaDD]

I did, it says 6 ft

Show me where?

Maybe you should note who posted that article... the center for the disabled. oh the irony

[Asker]

So you're saying men 5'9 are disabled?

[Asker]

Show me your source instead, I can't find anything that suggests 6 feet is average.

It is? Didn't know.
