It’s not bad or good dont listen to these people unless you live in Netherlands
 
Very bad. Especially in Scandinavia.

Just normal, I’d say. Average to slightly below for the US and within most of Europe.

For dating, it’s ok-ish. People here massively exaggerate the average height of most countries.
Generally they do with most things.

Up to 6’1 - 6’2 gives massive bonus points, then the impact of further height rapidly diminishes

It’s meh, but won’t significantly impact your dating aspect if you have a good face.

The average there is literally around 179-181cm for young men, according to a few anthropologic studies.
Being 178cm is not a death sentence at all there.
Barely below average.

5’9=1,75cm. And although the average is around 181cm most guys around my age are around 185.

And young girls don’t want average.

5’10 = 178cm or ever so slightly below.

Anecdotally though, everyone’s social circle seems to average around 185-190 cm, which contradicts most reliable data we have.
Take Austria, for example- a country with a population primarily of German descent, where men are measured for military service. Even there, the average height didn’t quite reach 180 cm.

The idea that height is still rapidly increasing in wealthy societies isn’t really backed by statistical evidence. Actually, it plateaus or only marginally increases.

I agree, that women desire taller than average men though. However you aren’t completely hopeless by being marginally below average.

6 foot minimum to be considered a human
 
It's pretty average in the US if not even above average in many areas. Although, it won't be optimal on dating apps.

Yeah.
I agree that you still have a chance if you’re slightly below average. That is if you can compensate for it in some way.
