Every damn teen is like 6 foot + in Europe US etc. And the new generations coming up just grow taller and taller. I call HUGE bull  on it only being 15-20% of males being 6 feet or over. It's more like 40% in my eyes if you take away the old timers. It's also amazing how us guys that are below 5'8" have to snap our legs in half and go through 2+ years of recovery just to reach slightly below/average height (That will be outdated and considered short in 20 years anyway)   Amazing How

I agree with all of these posts to an extent. Honestly alot of this post came from insecurity, pessimism and a bad general outlook on my future due to my height and proportions. I feel a little better this morning but I still always have height on my mind even if it's way in the back when i'm doing something I enjoy.

My wingspan is also around 6'3"-6'4" while i'm a shade under 5'8". I am in great shape and always have tried to be but can never truly have an aesthetically pleasing look. Just feel like a freak almost.

I do generally feel shorter than most people in the US and all of you might be right because of eye level etc. but it still sucks. More people are focused on height than ever I feel. So it just makes it worse not being in ideal range. Anything short of perfect sucks in the eyes of this society.

What happened to performance and being a real man is what makes you? Instead of "Oh that guy is a multimillionaire but he's 5'6" so he's just compensating poor manlet with a napoleon complex" like really? It's so ridiculous and untrue but social media stigma has dumbed people down so much to really think this stuff?

I feel most of us are dumbing ourselves down by playing to that level so we can fit in. Almost like Idiocracy.

Not trying to vent but just giving some reasoning as to why I posted this.
