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.

Mannerhe // How tall are you by any chance?

Tried to fish for compliments by throwing in "Have a great day" but

Even the Naver hyung couldn't help this time

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
