I’m in Cali and I’m 6’1 and honestly in most college areas and parties I just feel average/slightly above average not even tall

I only really feel tall in grocery stores or a gym with a mix ranged

feel like the average is 5’11-6’0 for our gen

What do yall think from yall experiences?

Makes sense, his college was in Bay Area, but still bro I think you are overthinking it, 5’10 is a great height, obviously anything taller would be better but I promise you most guys are 5’9 and under

in Bolivia maybe
 
In my area most guys tend to be 5’9 or shorter, while you see a few 6’0 and up people here and their while going to the grocery store or out for shopping
 
No, the average height in America is actually decreasing and the average height in both California and Oregon is nowhere near 6’. California is a manlet state, even the white people there are shorter. Lived in both places and for example the car wash I go to, all the kids working there are like 5’6”-5’7”, also I’m in 2 college towns frequently and it’s mostly a bunch of manlets.

You might not be 6’1” if you don’t feel tall, or you’re forgetting the height above your eye level.

i got measured as like 5’9 or 5’10, however in the city i live in about 1/20th of the students are 5’11-6+. (south jersey)

The other thing is that if you feel shorter at parties, that’d be when a lot of guys are wearing shoe lifts, remember that softmaxxes like that are entirely mainstream now.
 
depends where you are @

I am a south korean gook and even their average is 5'9.

Whites average is close to 5'11
 
It’s 5’10 but close to 5’11 and keep in mind most height statistics are self reported, so the guys saying they are 5’11-6’0 are more like 5’9-5’10

You're in an area with better looking and taller people. the type who go to bars and parties and typically taller because they can get some.

Also, maybe pull out the measuring tape again. Everyone thinks they're taller. I thought i was 5'10.5" but it turns out im a 5'9.5" short king. Luckily my home town is 5'8" avg.
