if you are below 6', it's really hard for me to respect you as a man

I haven’t been considered ‘short’ since probably 7th grade. Should probably ask Mingo if we’re being honest.

From what I understand 5’10” is like the minimum. It’s still considered short when people talk about it, but really isn’t considered short when in person. I’m 5’10” so that has been my experience. They’re like “oh well you don’t seem that short”. Lol I’m just like thanks I think

1. 90% of women couldn't estimate within 6" of 6 feet

2. You're in Louisiana. If you feel height challenged at 5'10", just go out toward Lafayette and you'll feel like a giant at the club.

The average for tOT is ~5.5, but Mingo brings the overall average down 1 inch just by himself.

Every dude that between 5’6 and 5’9 claims they are 5’10 so women have no idea about men’s height

I would say 4 to 5 inches is short.

6’ is the measuring stick to even be considered by an IRL 5, OT 3.

Big difference in 5'11.99" and 6'00". Without that 6 in front people will classify you as short.

5’10 is the minimum, correct.

The issue becomes some misinterpretations of this height.

A lot of girls guess guys who are 5’8 or 5’9 to be 5’10 and there lies some of the feedback issues.

Also, a lot of 5’8--5’9 guys say they’re 5’10.
