Is 5'5" really that short? I am 5'9", isnt that average? Isnt the average girl like 5'2"?

Also, the average Asian male is probably 5'6" or something.

5'9" is the average male height in the US.

The average Asian male's height has been increasing for years, as their diet has gotten better. I'd say the average Asian male is prob a little over 5'7" now actually. The Dutch are by far the tallest with the average male being about 6'1" and average females being about 5'8"

heights of many nations

number one seems like the clear choice. chicks love tall guys. its not like they are gonna jump out of bed once they see you are really small. on the other hand, if you are only 5'5" you are gonna have lots of trouble gettin em in bed in the first place.

This was exactly my logic. Height determines bedding factor more than size.

Along those lines, quantity or quality?

Hack,

Yeah. I have a suspicion that people will choose in this poll whichever one means they have to give up the least from their current status.

[/ QUOTE ]

but thats not the point of the poll

the point of the poll is to imagine which you'd like to be born, and ignore current status. i know that's hard.

I would choose to be taller. If your short you wont be able to use that big dick anyway.

confidence is more important than height

The problem is that being short sucks for many other things outside of dating and sex. There have been studies about how people are more respected in business who are taller, how very few CEOs are shorter than average, etc. Not to mention being short is a pain in the ass in a movie theatre or concert - you can never see above anyone. Most women don't orgasm through intercourse (roughly two-thirds according to surveys), and dating sites like eharmony will not match shorter men with taller women, which claim to be based on careful research. Many women simply will not date shorter men. IMO this is an easy choice of being tall with a small wang, for the reason that being short would be a pain in the ass in just about every facet of life, whereas a small wang is strictly confined to sex.

This turned out to be a pretty interesting thread afterall.
I agree with the subconcious respect that taller men receive (conversely, disadvantages to short people).


I say I'm 5-6. But I'm probably a shade under that.
I also don't exactly have a gigantic wang.

i went out with a 6-2 girl once which was kind of weird.

If you are funny/charming/clever/confident then you can get the chicks who are at least smart enough to get your jokes.
I really haven't had much problem.

I would much rather be short than obese or ugly.

I once read that 5-6 or so was in bottom 14th percentile among American adult men. probably lower than that by now.


When I was a kid, doctors thought I had some sort of growing disorder. When I was 10 you would have sworn I was only 6 or 7.
I didn't even make the zero percentile for a kid my age. Doctors predicted I would grow up to be about 4-8 or so.

So I actually feel fortunate because 5-6 is at least reasonably normal.


FWIW - Being short does have its advantages.
Even at 5-6 I'm miserable in the cramped spaces of airplanes. I have no idea how 6-0 guys and taller do it.
I once flew to Alaska with a guy who is 6-6. He was in total misery and agony because he could barely fit into the seat and it was a looooong flight.

eh, i'm already 5'5" so i guess option two for me. being short is really not that bad. i wish i had a short man complex, i'd get a lot more done.
