5'9 is bottom 20% height in my country. Geomaxxing is my only option. It's over:feelswhy:

It's marginal. 3 inches accounts for an entire standard deviation of height in the population distribution.
This means that even a couple of inches can you jump you up to a significantly higher percentile.

Cruise wears elevator shoes and still looks a good 3-4 inches shorter than Katie Holmes in high heels.
5ft 6/7 seems plausible to me.
he is at least 5'7" flat

Because 5'9" is average, so anything under that is below average

Katie Holmes is like three inches taller than Cruise in 2-3 inch elevator shoes.
5ft 6 is credible.
here he is just wearing regular sneakers

Looks more credible there but he looks super short next to her in this photo, where she's leaning over an upright Cruise:

when too people are standing close together, and they are holding each other, the taller person also appears taller.

Here he still looks more than 5'6" given the fact that she still has more footwear. still looks ~5'7"

And if 5’9 is short that means 5’11 extending to 6 ft is short

What a retarded argument jfl. It's like saying saying why someone failed a test with 45% when they were "only" 5% away from passing. You gotta draw the line somewhere

A strong 2 inches is a shit ton of height as well

Compare Tom Hardy with DiCaprio for reference

Fr. And 2 inch difference is even more pronounced the shorter you are. So a 5'7 guy would look giga manlet next to (a legit) 5'9 guy

that too and it also scales. A 5'9 guy gets mogged hard by a strong 5'11" guy, evident by that picture of tom hardy. now imagine how hard a 5'7" guy would get mogged by a strong 5'11", which is not even considered a tall height just a slightly above average one. 5'9 guys dont get giga mogged by men who aren't tall (6'1+)

5'9 barefoot at night feels so short
5'10 is bare minimum
