(Poll) What's the tallest height a short man can be? Aka, "The King of the Manlets?"

submitted by Mcheetah from self.AskSaidIt

  1. 5'11"/180 cm.
  2. Less than 5'11"/180 cm.
  3. I don't know, cause I'm not a manlet.

I am a 71-inch manlet, by the way.

It sucks to be short.

In what world is 5'11" considered small? That's insane.

Short answer: yes.

Assuming you're referring to adult men and not women or children:

Any First-World country, or country without rampant diseases, extreme poverty, or malnutrition. SOR-RY I'm not Indonesian, Bolivian, or Vietnamese!

I don't think most American women won't fuck with a guy who's 5'11. You think women can look at you and tell you're an inch short of the 6 foot mark?

As a single American male, I fully disagree with you about American/Western women somehow not being that shallow when they ask you about height. As if the data and reality lies.

Besides, it has nothing to do with women. It has to do with not being genetically mediocre, useless dogshit for a human being or accepting worthlessness as "good enough." You know, standards? Not that you can correct or fix being short, but it's still worth pointing out it's a flaw (not that it has to define you) and not just pretending being shit-tier or in the losing end of the pool, is somehow "a good thing" like all that fake 'body positivity' bullshit. You can point out physical flaws and shortcomings without it affecting your other qualities.

I don't know, man. Dating culture is just toxic as shit. Maybe people are that shallow. I'm sorry.

A family of giants who are 6'5 and above.

When taking a walk on a crowded sidewalk routinely presents the inconvenient stench of uncontrolled farting.

I'd say 5'7".

Depends what country you live in though

The cutoff on r/short is 5'7"
