Nah back when I was in really good shape I looked like an upside down pyramid because of my short hight and muscle mass


Bro 5'8" isn't considered short in most of the US. 5'6" on the other hand...

In both my gene lines it seems that gender defines it. Males with dark hair run 5'9" to 6'2", maxing at about 170 pounds, blonde males same height but reaching 250 pounds, females 4'10" to 5'4". There are some aberrations of course.

Oh, and almost all of my blood kin have green eyes.

I thank you for helping to keep the poll looking Normal.

I know I said at the start that I wanted a Uniform distribution, but I don't know what I was on. A large part of what I was doing was trying to have greater clarity about behaviour in the tails (#biased). Hilariously, though, the non-male options have basically panned out as a Uniform thing.

Stop making shit up, though. Links, or it's a God-damn lie and you know it.

I’m about 4,11 (male) and I’ve made fun of for that but they aren’t laughing when I’m the only one that can fit in a small space.

  • How tall are you? 179cm (or 5'10").
  • Do you feel tall? Not really.
  • does height discrimination exist? I wouldn't be surprised if it did (assuming we're talking about discrimination in adulthood).
  • is there an ideal height? Nah.
  • Does it differ between men and women? Maybe? :unsure:
  • should Wolverine be played by a short or average height actor in the MCU? Is it a life-or-death situation in this context? Otherwise, it doesn't really matter.

I was in the doctor's the other day and I saw this tall dude and I was thinking to myself, "Holy shit, I'm not sure if I'm taller than him". In fact, the holy shit quotient was even higher because it was more like, "Holy shit, I think I'm shorter than this guy". Either way not ideal since my curiosity got the old heart pumping... when the whole point was to see if waiting ten to fifteen minutes would slow my heart rate down.

Of course, when I come back from the pulse rate check, dude's moved on. So, I failed the pulse rate check and didn't even get to find out the answer.

Fantastic.

At least my blood pressure was normal.

In hindsight, maybe I should've "randomly" decided to get some hand sanitiser... he was standing right next to it.

Eh, it’s the average height for men but generally it’s perceived as being on the shorter end.
