    I’m 5’11", but don’t consider 5’7" short.

      Same. It’s statistically average. Plus, judging and demeaning people over their height is pretty messed up. Nothing anyone can do about that, outside of invasive surgery that carries substantial long-term health risks. The world takes all kinds - short kings, tall kings, in-between kings.

      I’m 6’-7" and consider everyone short, until I come across someone 6’-5" or taller and then I’m like “holy shit that guy is tall”. Has to do with your eyes being a few inches lower than the top of your head. I’m just glad I clear standard 6’-8" doorways, can pay for exit row and somehow a Mazda CX-5 fits me comfortably.
