5'6" who had a 4'11" roommate in college and both of us were absolute HOUNDS.
I am happily married now. To a woman an inch and a half taller than me
5'7" is the average male height in the US btw, so it's not like 5'6" is manlet territory. For whatever reason we have decided as a society that average male height is around 6 foot despite only 14.5% of American men being 6ft or taller.
I think it's 5'9", in the U. S.; 5'7" is the average for the world.
Y'all need to get your affairs in order over in the US so I can move over there because at 5'10" I'm well below average in my country.
CDC data does show the average for males being 5'9" in the US though. 5'7" is the average globally. Over here the average is 6' because I lucked into being a short king in the third tallest country in the world apparently.
Iceland?
It's so much nicer not having to work out logistics to smooch
