Sweden is not the world. There are "only" 10 million swedes in the world... They do not rappresent the average height for the western world... Neither are the Dutch or the Dynaric alps people...

 You are Swedish... That's a different thing... I am not so I do not aspire to be as tall as the average swed

First I think that your average range is too small. It's like you either consider people tall or short. And second I think that height would be correct only if you take into account women's height as well.

Yes but then I did say that the average range was 5'9 to 6' depending in what country you live and you mocked me. Apparently I am right.

You said that 180cm or even 183 can't be considered tall. That is what I mocked you about...

 And no.. The tallest women average is 5'7... My range does not include them.. And also, you will never be called short in the vast majority of the western world if you are a legit 5'9 or 175cm. I know people from France, Italy, USA, Canada who are this height and they never complain about their height, nor do they feel short at that height.

And of course I consider people tall or short... That's what most people do. Do you think that anyone who is not obssesed about height has knowledge of average height across the world? He sees someone as says shorter or taller than him...

I did not say that they can't be considered tall. I said they shouldn't be considered tall because, imo, they are average. Basketball players are considered tall people.

By what you said, most of the people here can go from short to tall by lenghtening 6~7cms. That's awesome lol. For instances, I'm 172cm tall, a short person in your book, but if I lenghtened 7cm I'd be 179cm tall, someone whos tall according to you. Hell no.

You are 172. You are some what below average.. By adding 6cm you are going to be taller than 50% of males which means you are above average.. Why is it so hard to accept that?

 Basketball players are very very tall... And if someone thinks that being that tall must be the most attractive thing ever or that even not being that tall means not being able to get 100% in life, this person should seek psychiatric help. Because it's like being anorexic with height...

Basketball players are very very tall... I just think that you have such a wide range for tall people and a super narrow range for average height people.

That's going off topic and, while I think you're right, I won't discuss it.
