I’ve seen people consider even 5’7" as short for some reason so i’m curious if it has happened with someone

    Denmark has an average Height of 181.6cm for males, and North Korea has an average of 165.6cm. The Global average height is 171 cm, leaving Denmark 10.6cm above average and North Korea is 5.4cm below the average, and a difference of 16cm between the average of the two populations.

    This is not a “huge”, or a “definitely short” kind of difference.

      You don’t think that’s a significant difference in average height? Cuz that’s a pretty big difference to me. Denmark’s average being around 6’ when most of the rest of us consider that tall is pretty significant

        I literally just said that, so yes.

        I am 193cm and my partner is about 35cm smaller than me. That is a significant difference in my opinion, while 16cm is not.
