How tall do you think that is..? I work at an outlet, and these days when I look at it, I think it's around medium height for my height, but I'm curious what you all think it is here. Have a good day everyone.

I think anything from 175-180 is just average height, anything from 185 is where you start looking tall. Anything under 170 is on the short side. Below 170? That's actually short.
Lmaooo what average height bs—I'm 181 and all I hear is "you're so tall, must be nice" but nobody at 180 has ever thought "wish I was taller" even once. That's just humble bragging, honestly. Plus my actual shirt size is like XXL, and half the stores don't even stock that. If 175-180 became so common, you'd think XXL would be everywhere, but nope lol—still hard to find anything past that. Even at 183-184 it might look good but you'd struggle finding fitted clothes.
Wait, 181 wearing XXL...?
Uh... I wear it...
That's not about height lol;;; it's probably fat or fat + muscle...
A guy who's 181 with average build would wear XL? I'm 181, 74kg, and XXL seems huge on me... unless you have a lot of muscle?
Yeah for average build, oversized fit at 100 or 105 would be plenty. For someone who's 181cm, under 14% body fat, and actually fits XXL best? That's like 0.01% of people lol
bro 179cm is literally 5'10" that's a solid height lmaooo what are people smoking 😭
welcome to 2024 where 6 feet became the bare minimum 💀 poor 179cm kings can't catch a break
Honestly just look up the facts and your validation craving solves itself
this is so stupid lol i'm 177 and never had anyone say i'm short, maybe it's just the dating apps making guys feel insecure
Where's Jang Do-yeon at 179cm
I kept growing until I was 21—my growth plates closed around 18, then only my spine got longer. Apparently the spine is the last growth plate to close, and shoulder blades keep growing until 22-23, which is why kids look small even when they're tall, but adult guys have wider shoulders
I'm 186 and just want to die bc of my height
How many inches is that
15 centimeters
Hang in there
15's not that much...? Hearing "hang in there" makes me...
The real facts are that 179cm is top 15%—out of 10 random people walking by, only like 1 or 2 are that height or taller
nah 179 is genuinely tall, the problem is everyone on the internet lies about their height anyway
honestly as a woman i can confirm 179 is already pretty tall, but social media has everyone expecting 6'5 dudes now
