6'2 is not avg height

[Zone7411]

How is it a low amount it’s 1/3 ? It also contradicts your claim that the younger generation is not getting taller. The most Brootal thing about it is in 20 years the average young man will be 6’2 and we will be the same height

I agree with your first point that its not a low amount, but I don't think your second claim is true.

Dutch men are actually getting slightly shorter.

I do think that ethnics are catching up though and will soon reach average height of 5'11-6'0 eventually.

 

[11OUTTA10]

If you genuinely believe that 6'2" is the new average height, you’re either delusional, coping, or both. The idea that everyone is magically 6'2" now is pure social media gaslighting, and I'm about to dismantle every single cope behind this nonsense.


People Are NOT Getting Taller

Let’s cut through the bullshit:

The REAL average male height in the U.S. is still 5'8"–5'9" and hasn’t changed in decades.

In 1914, American men ranked 3rd tallest in the world. By 2014, they dropped to 37th place. If height was really "increasing," how do you explain that?

Studies PROVE that people lie about their height, especially in self-reported surveys.

Does the use of prediction equations to correct self-reported height and weight improve obesity prevalence estimates? A pooled cross-sectional analysis of Health Survey for England data | BMJ Open

This means the "6'2" is average" argument is built on fraud, both literally and figuratively.

Selective Bias

The only reason people believe that 6'2" is common is because of selective bias. Here’s why:

You only notice tall people. If a 5'8" guy and a 6'3" guy walk into a room, guess who stands out?

Social media algorithms push tall influencers. The guys you see online are handpicked by the algorithm to look more dominant, aesthetic, and attention-grabbing.

Height fraud is rampant. Most guys add 2 inches to their height without even thinking twice. A 5'10" dude rounds up to 6'0", and a 6'0" guy rounds up to 6'2". If you actually measured these "6'2" influencers barefoot, they’d barely be 6'0".


It’s all smoke and mirrors. If you go outside and observe real people, you’ll quickly realize that the “6'2” standard is a complete online fabrication.


Gen Z Is Actually SHRINKING, Not Growing

Not only is 6'2" NOT the new average, but younger generations are actually getting SHORTER.

Testosterone and DHT levels have plummeted over the last few decades, leading to weaker bone growth.

Processed foods, bad diets, and estrogenic chemicals in plastics have wrecked natural HGH production.

The average American diet is making people weaker, smaller, and softer.

Kids today spend less time being active than any previous generation, stunting their natural height potential.


I see it firsthand where are the towering 6'4" dudes everyone claims exist? Instead, I see manlets everywhere, weak postures, small frames, and guys built like malnourished teenagers. The only thing getting "taller" is the lies people tell online.


Influencers Are LYING About Their Height

This is where things get even funnier. The taller a guy is, the more inches he’s willing to add to his claim, because most people won’t question it.

Dudes who are 6'0" will straight-up claim 6'2" or even 6'3", knowing most people won’t check.

Guys stack height with boots, thick-soled sneakers, and even hidden lifts. You take those off, and suddenly "6'4” Chad is barely scraping 6'1" barefoot.

A perfect example: This TikTok family claimed they were nearly 8 FEET TALL, proving that social media has zero accountability when it comes to height fraud





If You Think 5'11" is Short, You’ve Been Gaslit

if you're 5'10" or above, you are already TALLER than most men.

At 6'0", you're in the top 15% of height.

At 6'2", you're in the top 3-5%.

At 6'4", you’re literally among the tallest men in the world.


Yet, somehow, TikTok and Instagram want to convince you that you’re short unless you’re 6’4" or taller? That’s a blatant lie, and you fell for it.




If you actually believe that 6'2" is the new average, you’re living in a fantasy world created by:
Social media algorithms
Selective bias
Mass height fraud
People literally lying about their stats

The reality?

The real average male height is still 5'8"–5'9".

Younger generations are getting SHORTER, not taller.

Height fraud is more common than ever.

If you're 5'10"+, you're already ABOVE average.


If you’re still coping and saying “6'2” is the new normal," I have bad news for you: you’ve been played.

idk why my area is full of genetic anomalies but I am a natural 6'1, fraud 6'2 and I genuinely see kids in my high school 2 years younger than me who have a full head on me. its fucking annoying. my very above average height is not appreciated

 

[DaddyLongLegs]

Should be “water” but it’s not since so much of looksmax & YouTube is delusional.

Just wanted to say,


• Teen obesity in itself can nerf height growth potential even if you’re obese from eating too much unprocessed food.

•average is definitely 5’9” not 5’8” in US. Non self-reported data found Data found men (all races) age 20-30 had average heights of 69.3”/5’9.3 (20-24) and 69.5”/5’9.5 (25-29). NHANES 2018 data found that for men (all ages, all races) Median height was 5’9.0

•Yeah it’s 5% for 6’2”. 3% is probably 6’3”. 6’2” is the 95th percentile though in America.
NHANES found in 2018 adult men (all races) in their twenties & thirties the 95th percentile was 73.6-74.3 inches (6’1.6-6’2.3”) for all ages it was 73.78” (6’1.78”). The tallest group was white men in their 20s&30s, where the 95th percentile was 74.45” (6’2.45”)

6’2” is very tall irl. So many people are delusional about their OWN heights. A friend will tell them that he’s 6’0”, and they will take it for face value. They’ll look at him figure out he’s only an inch taller than themselves and believe with all their hearts that they’re 5’11 for the next 3 years until they get measured and realize they’re only 5’9” and figure out their friend was lying.

5'10 is bare minimum for them only one below 5'10 are asians.

 

[lastofus123]

6'2 is tall as f everywhere outside maybe the Netherlands and the Balkans

 

[lastofus123]

5'10 is bare minimum for them only one below 5'10 are asians.

theres plenty of whites and blacks below 5'10, heck the avg height for a black dude is 5'8 lol

 

[DaddyLongLegs]

theres plenty of whites and blacks below 5'10

Correct. CDC/NHANES 2018 data (not self reported) found that the avg AND median height was 178.0cm (≈70.1”/5’10.1”) for non-Hispanic white dudes in their twenties & thirties. Thus, shy of half of the are below a true 5’10.”

Obviously a bigger portion of the middle aged/elderly whites are below 5’10”.

heck the avg height for a black dude is 5'8 lol

The avg+median for ALL adult ages of black dudes is 176.0cm (69.3”/5’9.3”) so that ain’t right unless more recent data came out.

If you just look at the 20-39 year old black dudes the average the median is the same but the average is slightly higher at 176.4cm (5’9.45”)

So the avg young black dude is 1.5” taller than 5’8”.



Rule of thumb is to expect the White & Black averages to be at least somewhat over the national average and for Asians & Latinos to be below it.

Meanwhile everything from testosterone, sperm count, bone density, muscle mass and overall masculinity has declined

height is truly one of the most important (if not the most important) factor for attracting foids though. they see a tall dude and then a switch flips in their brain that makes them go feral

If you're 5'10"+, you're already ABOVE average.
THIS IS ONLY IF THATS YOUR HEIGHT BAREFOOT AT NIGHT. LIKE I AM TALKING 10 PM HEIGHT.

If you genuinely believe that 6'2" is the new average height, you’re either delusional, coping, or both. The idea that everyone is magically 6'2" now is pure social media gaslighting, and I'm about to dismantle every single cope behind this nonsense.


People Are NOT Getting Taller

Let’s cut through the bullshit:

The REAL average male height in the U.S. is still 5'8"–5'9" and hasn’t changed in decades.

In 1914, American men ranked 3rd tallest in the world. By 2014, they dropped to 37th place. If height was really "increasing," how do you explain that?

Studies PROVE that people lie about their height, especially in self-reported surveys.

This means the "6'2" is average" argument is built on fraud, both literally and figuratively.

Selective Bias

The only reason people believe that 6'2" is common is because of selective bias. Here’s why:

You only notice tall people. If a 5'8" guy and a 6'3" guy walk into a room, guess who stands out?

Social media algorithms push tall influencers. The guys you see online are handpicked by the algorithm to look more dominant, aesthetic, and attention-grabbing.

Height fraud is rampant. Most guys add 2 inches to their height without even thinking twice. A 5'10" dude rounds up to 6'0", and a 6'0" guy rounds up to 6'2". If you actually measured these "6'2" influencers barefoot, they’d barely be 6'0".


It’s all smoke and mirrors. If you go outside and observe real people, you’ll quickly realize that the “6'2” standard is a complete online fabrication.


Gen Z Is Actually SHRINKING, Not Growing

Not only is 6'2" NOT the new average, but younger generations are actually getting SHORTER.

Testosterone and DHT levels have plummeted over the last few decades, leading to weaker bone growth.

Processed foods, bad diets, and estrogenic chemicals in plastics have wrecked natural HGH production.

The average American diet is making people weaker, smaller, and softer.

Kids today spend less time being active than any previous generation, stunting their natural height potential.


I see it firsthand where are the towering 6'4" dudes everyone claims exist? Instead, I see manlets everywhere, weak postures, small frames, and guys built like malnourished teenagers. The only thing getting "taller" is the lies people tell online.


Influencers Are LYING About Their Height

This is where things get even funnier. The taller a guy is, the more inches he’s willing to add to his claim, because most people won’t question it.

Dudes who are 6'0" will straight-up claim 6'2" or even 6'3", knowing most people won’t check.

Guys stack height with boots, thick-soled sneakers, and even hidden lifts. You take those off, and suddenly "6'4” Chad is barely scraping 6'1" barefoot.

A perfect example: This TikTok family claimed they were nearly 8 FEET TALL, proving that social media has zero accountability when it comes to height fraud





If You Think 5'11" is Short, You’ve Been Gaslit

if you're 5'10" or above, you are already TALLER than most men.

At 6'0", you're in the top 15% of height.

At 6'2", you're in the top 3-5%.

At 6'4", you’re literally among the tallest men in the world.


Yet, somehow, TikTok and Instagram want to convince you that you’re short unless you’re 6’4" or taller? That’s a blatant lie, and you fell for it.




If you actually believe that 6'2" is the new average, you’re living in a fantasy world created by:
Social media algorithms
Selective bias
Mass height fraud
People literally lying about their stats

The reality?

The real average male height is still 5'8"–5'9".

Younger generations are getting SHORTER, not taller.

Height fraud is more common than ever.

If you're 5'10"+, you're already ABOVE average.


If you’re still coping and saying “6'2” is the new normal," I have bad news for you: you’ve been played.

True

People who think anything beneath 6" is "manlet" are fucking retards honestly

How is it a low amount it’s 1/3 ? It also contradicts your claim that the younger generation is not getting taller. The most Brootal thing about it is in 20 years the average young man will be 6’2 and we will be the same height

i live in the same place as you, im 188cm and taller than 95% i’d say. 1/3 is NOT 6ft+ jfl.
