Do you consider 5’8 short for a man?

In the country I live in 5’9 is the average height for men. I’m not American by the way.

Where I'm from (the US), that would be considered super-short, yeah. And nobody wants shit-tier, human garbage on a person when it comes to traits. So really, six feet is the minimum women will accept on men. 5'9" to 5'11" is just considered short/not good enough/"average" (it's all the same). Anything below 5'8" would basically be considered a woman, to women.

And I'm not trying to be mean by the way, because I fail in height, too. I know ALL TOO WELL what it's like to be denied love, acceptance, relationships, companionship, etc., because women consider you genetically inferior/worthless. 5'8" is horrendously bad on a man yeah, but so is anything below six feet. It's all considered an F/short/failure/"average"/worthless. And I've been shit on because of it just as much as 5'8" and below men.

Yep. I also think women under 5' 8" are short. I am 6' 3". My exwife was 5' 10". My sons are 6' 2", 6' 4", and 6' 3". I once dated a woman that was 5' and wow that was too short. I prefer 5; 8" to 6' for women.

Depends where you live. Here where I live, it would be considered short because the average height of men is 5'11''

No. 5'8 is about average height (not exactly average but close enough) for men in my country.

Apparently, the average height for a man in the UK is 5'9. So it's just a bit under. I'm 5'8, though, so I like to date guys who are around 6'0 or taller.

Not really, its only an inch under average. Not a major difference at all.

No. But then again I really don't think of people in terms of height unless they give me a reason to.

What is your country name?

[In_Trance]

Depends what height you compare it to

[Jouth]

1 inch shorter than average is not short

[ImNoOne111]
