I'm a little over 5"9" and 30. I read that in our 30s, men start to lose some of their height, and throughout their lives they can lose an entire inch, so that would put me at about 5'8" when I'm older. Is that short?
Tall to a shorter person but shorter to a taller person average lol, honestly I'm 5'8 but you may feel short if you're always around people that are taller than 5'10 for some reason, now I think about it I felt slightly short and average height for my whole life. Most guys I worked with or ever seen anywhere are taller than me but not like being shorter than most guys changes much of anything
That's pretty close to average. So it's not tall and its not short.
As for losing height after 30, if that happens it's pretty darn insignificant at that age. You might eventually lose an inch or more, but that's in your 80s or older. I know I'm the same exact height now that I was in my early 20s.
I know a guy that used to be around 5 inches taller than me and then several years later, he was only about 2 inches taller than me. Multiple people told me I had gotten taller while he may have gotten shorter. It's also possible my height did not change but my back became straighter, leading to a visual difference in height.
Not at all! 5'8" is actually around the average height for men. Maybe some guys are taller, but plenty are shorter too. Confidence and personality shine brighter than a few inches anyway!

it's the shorter end of average but not short, though you would only get to that point when you're like 70. at that point it won't matter really and it's very far off so no need to worry
I don't consider it short, but I'm 5'6". I know several men shorter than me. I'd say it's close enough to average that most people won't notice enough to care—unless you are around tall guys all the time.
Being taller is overrated. If you’re 5’9”, you can fit on a plane much easier than if you’re 6’3”. Some women might consider you to be too short but most women are under 5’5” so you should be fine. Don’t date the women who are only after the extremely tall guys. Either 5’9 or 5’10 is the worldwide average so you are not considered short using those averages.
It is all relative. To me, that isn't short because it is taller than me. A really tall person might think that is short.
Nope it's definitely not short.
My husband and my last boyfriend were both 5'8"
which is just right for me
As long as you're taller than me (5'4) then you're fine.
Isn’t that the average height for men? I don't know seems tall to me
No, only shorter. But that's not bad. 5'9 is like average, there isn't much of a difference there.
i would even tho ik it's not
it's fuckin weird lol
That's very close to 6ft just 1 or 2 inches off. No way would I consider that short.
It might be, to me. I'm 6' 9" but, my ex-fiance was 5' 3" That's kinda short. I would say, anything close to 6' is not short.
Yes I've heard people shrunk supposedly every decade they get older ah well, anyways is that short for a man? Possibly.
m average is some countries n below average in others
Ha! Not even close to short. My hubby is 5'7 and still towers over me.
Tbh it depends on the person comparing their own height to yours
I got an inch taller after laying in bed and smoking cigarettes for a year when I was off work during the covid scamdemic
Yes, but that doesn't make a difference to a lot of girls who relate better to shorter guys.
Short compared to 6'4
Tall compared to 4'11
