I'd rather not disclose my location at this point, but I am white and 5'7. 5'7, 3 inches below "average". Yet I am considered short as well, even though im pretty sure its just under one standard deviation below the mean. Yet now anyone even only slightly above average is considered short, 6' is now considered average, even though im pretty sure its about one standard deviation ABOVE the mean. That means theres more of us than them >:[

I'm also 5'7. I'm curious to know where you live that so many people are mistreating you for your height. I do get the occasioanl height joke and do not like it (no garmin here), but not to the point that I want to exterminate taller men.

I agree with this. Anytime I hear how they talk it is more or less a place to vent. You are paying for someone to listen. Yes, it can be helpful, but a friend should be just as qualified for it.

I never felt it was a problem. So many people view it like an illness and it is just rediculous.
