If 5'9 is short in your books then 5'11" should be tall too. You just contradicted yourself.lol dude you're trying to act as though people in real life give a shit about the normal distribution. I am really tired of explaining this over and over to people tbh, humans don't base their PERCEPTIONS of average on what the true average is. Its always inflated one way or another. Think I'm wrong? Check this out with penis sizes, where most people inflate the shit out of the average. Average dick size is like what, 5.2 inches? Do you think anyone would ever say someone with a 5.5 inch dick has a "big cock"? Lmao.
The same applies to all things. If I had to estimate what most people's perceptions are, I would say 5'9 and below is short, or you have a good chance of being perceived as short by many people. 5'10-6ish is average height. 6'1+ is tall. 5'7 is 100%, certainly short.
Also think about intelligence. The first standard deviation for intelligence puts you at 115 IQ. Is that smart? No, that's laughable and most people perceive it that way.
I live in india. Average height here is 5'9" for young generation.( check wikipedia if you don't believe me)
A 5'6" guy here is the equivalent of 5'7" in us.
And it doesnt look that short. Looks fairly normal.
Here's a pic: the guy in yellow shirt is 5'6"
Rest are between 5'5" to 6'0". Average is 5'9"
He doesnt look that short to me

Can still look good at this height if you have face
