Is a height of 5 feet 7 inches considered short for a man in today?

Is it normal 5/7? What think about this question?

[blunty]

A height of 5 feet 7 inches for a man is considered slightly below the average height in many Western countries, such as the United States and the United Kingdom. The perception of whether it is "short" or not can vary depending on cultural and regional factors.

In today's society, height can sometimes be associated with certain stereotypes or ideals of masculinity. Taller men have historically been seen as more dominant or attractive, which can create societal pressure for those who fall below the average height. This pressure can lead some individuals to feel self-conscious about their stature. However, it's crucial to emphasize that height is just one aspect of a person's physical appearance, and it doesn't define their worth or capabilities. Attitudes toward height are evolving, and many people now recognize the importance of embracing body diversity and rejecting harmful stereotypes.

Moreover, factors like personality, confidence, intelligence, and kindness play a more significant role in how a man is perceived and valued in today's society. While height may influence initial impressions, it rarely remains a primary factor in long-term relationships or career success.

So, I mean, while 5 feet 7 inches may be slightly below the average height for a man in some regions, it's important to remember that it's just one aspect of a person's identity. Society's views on height are evolving, and what truly matters are the qualities, values, and character of an individual, not their physical stature.

If you are just trying to gather information, than 5'7" us on the short side, but not that bad.
See if you're talking about if you were going to be the girlfriend of some guy with that height, then I think it would depend on how tall you are.
I am 5'2" and I like being with a guy that is 5'8". It's just right. 5'7" would be ok too.

[Miristheiss]

Yes, it is on the short side. Not majorly short but on the short side.

I hear most women don't want to date men that are shorter than they are so I think 5'0" to 5'4" girls would be your sweet spot.

Most 5'8" and taller girls (especially when they are in heels) would probably not go for you.

I had a really late growth spurt and I was always the shortest in my class up until I was about 17 years old. I'm 6'2" now but I'd lived all my life being short so I automatically think anyone 6 foot or less is short.

[ShellyB]

Yes I would call that short, but, not extremely short, the first word I used to describe him would prob. not be "short" but if asked, yes 5 foot 7 is short for a man. I am 5 foot 6 and I consider myself average or nearly short for a girl. JMO!

[MrOracle]

Average height for men in the US is 5'9", and 70ish % of men are within 3 inches of that, ranging from 5'6" to 6'. That's the "normal" range, and the further out you go in either direction, the more exponentially rare you get.

[Jemini_Crocket]

It's below average, but not really short in my opinion

[jennifer_bloom]

I don't consider that short. I don't need a guy that is 6"5 for a relationship. 5"7 is perfectly okay.

[DryGermanGuy]

In ‘Murrica you are practically considered a midget. 🤔

[Dinklex3]

Just Google whatever the average height is for a man.

[sean1234]

yeah, who needs gag

[Nirmroth]

I mean a quick google search says it is. Its below average in many countries.

[Joshydavid25]

In certain countries it's kinda short, but World wide it's about the common height for a man.. So it's kinda normal..

[Anonymous]

I guess. I could never date a guy that short and I'm 4ft6. He has to be at least 6ft. My boyfriend is 6ft7

[sean1234]

your height is as rare as his then.

[Anonymous]

Please don't bother standing up.

Oh, sorry you are standing up. 🤣

[Starrrboy]

It's short.. but not a deal breaker for dating or anything..

[Anonymous]

If you look like the guy in the pic then it doesn't matter at all

[Ms_Facesitter]

[Nikki1989]

[love_conquers_lust]
