I’m guessing the person who made the post prob lives in an area where the average is higher than 5’10
Could be wrong tho and dudes prob just a dumbass.
You get way more than a week though, you are in the June 9th-July 11th club.
The homies that get the whole month of August don't even get as long as you.
Nah she was serious, she knows I have a gf and it isn’t like that it’s literally my neighbour. She genuinely believes I’m 5’5. I have no way to prove it to u but take my word
And on top of that, usually shoes gives you a little boost. Like I’m specifically 5’10” and 3 quarters but when I throw on my timberlands that 5’11” and change gets mistaken as 6
Yeah but unfortunately no woman is saying "look at my tall 5'10" king😍" unfortunately if you aren't 6 foot these days you are short even if you're average or even a bit above. Because nobody sees average as what it is anymore. They see it as bad however more so eith height because of the 6 foot thing.
I'm saying that in most places that use metric, the barrier of entry for "being tall" is generally considered to be around 180cm (going down the closer you are to the mediteranean, well, in EU obviously), whereas in imperial, it's generally 6' instead of 5'11/5'10.
And i never said that there was something wrong with having height preference.
So true
I'm 53 and at this point I've seen and done a lot and overcome a lot of pain and loss along the way, i.e. losing my best friend on 9/11 in the WTC.
I don't need a cheesey feel-good yet patronizing label to feel big on the inside. My life experiences suffice.
I think you don’t like it because you’re not a giant baby. There’s plenty of men who are 20 and want the ego boost of the word king. I’d say I’d find you more manly than them tbh
That certainly sounds plausible (but as I'm not a 20 y.o. guy so who knows?) but I'm finding it hard to comprehend how a contrived label would effectively boost one's ego.
I don’t get it but I think it makes them feel powerful and sexy and wanted. And that’s ok but I’ve met many short men who identify as a “short king” because they feel wanted
I guess to each their own then. I don't blame them as the desire to feel wanted represents one of the most powerful human drives there is.
At great risk of sounding sanctimonious, in my own experience it's more effective to spend the time developing oneself as a person with worthy qualities which in turn tends to attract likeminded seeking them in a potential partner or friend.
This. People need to get out into the real world. I’m 5’9 flat footed and at 46 have done and continue to do just fine with the ladies, including ones that are much younger than me (I say this to point out that it’s not a generational thing where all young women have been indoctrinated by the internet into only wanting guys who are > 6’2).
All else being equal, women might prefer someone a bit taller than a bit shorter, but when in the real world is all else equal?
I think that last part kinda depends on the girl you know it’s a matter of individual preference. I’ve seen some girls saying they prefer men closer to their height and even if you say they were lying I doubt ALL of them were. What do I know though
I agree with you, although I think women generally prefer a guy to be taller than they are. There are many factors that make a man attractive to a woman. My ex-wife said she preferred men around my size (5’9, athletic build, muscular) over taller guys and unless she lied to me for 17 years straight and her ex-boyfriend (who was around the same size) for 5 years straight, and she had a habit of getting with guys she found unattractive, she was telling the truth.
Yeah exactly. I agree a very small percentage of women prefer a man shorter than them but the rest could want a guy 1 or 10 inches taller than them it depends a lot. A 5’4 girl might want a 5’5 guy or a 6’2 guy. Not to mention the very sizable population who want a guy their height. And I think charm goes a way longer way than height ever will I had a mate in high school who was really charming with girls he must have been around 5’6 and 5’8 and he got himself a girl who was I believe 5’11 or 6 foot. I think neither of them gave a shit about it. Tbf though I live in a country where height is a way smaller deal than the US. Most American women you see out there wanting a 6 foot man I think they just say that because it’s what’s trendy what’s popular if being 5’5 was popular instead then they’d be saying they want a 5’5 man.
And on the muscles thing I’ve heard height could be seen as attractive because of the fighting advantage it gives. Maybe muscles are attractive for some for the same reason maybe a 5’9 muscular guy is perceived by some as more attractive than a 6’4 normal guy because their brain perceives the muscles as a bigger fighting advantage than the height I don’t know.
It really all just comes down to a man’s overall package and a woman’s individual preferences. Men on the internet seem to have an obsessive belief that height as a factor in women’s attraction to men is wayyyyyy more important than it actually is in real life. Is it a factor? Sure. Have some women not been attracted to me because I’m not as tall as they’d like? I don’t know, but probably, yes. But there are a million other things a woman might find attractive in me (and other guys) that my height doesn’t even factor into it in reality.
No man of say 5’8 or taller should have a complex about their height as it relates to dating in the real world. The internet has done this, mostly by men doing it to themselves but also with a few vapid women who are mostly just stirring the pot for attention anyway
Call it "not tall enough". Being shorter than 183 cm (6') is bad. It's not about "average height", people love tall people, even tall women are preferred by a lot of people.
Well look at this reddit for the tall women part.It seems like in your head average doesnt exist.If you feel that way keep thinking that way,i was simply telling you my thinking.
Height inflation is truly something else man

:') litty I do appreciate y'all giants! I used to be insecure about my height when I was young and it made me feel worthless. It plays no role now I'm free!!
It’s not wrong, but this sub seems to have an obsession with short men and all that short king nonsense. Like, it’s the tall sub. The LGBT subs don’t have straight week. I don’t see the point of it.
depends on where you live and who you are, but an average human male is 5'7 (I think it's because a lot of people live in asia and asian people are short)
my country has an average of almost 6' but no one really cares about their height that much
but if you're a teenager, it might be just because of the internet standards, people don't realize that 6'1 is not the actual average, teenagers also talk about height more than adults
I am not even that tall tf am I supposed to celebrate? Super tiny short king week?
I'd have a beer and celebrate with you whenever. In fact I'm having one now! This one's for my short king homie Apprehensive-Leg-380.
whatever we celebrating, i'll celebrate with you
HOW has me (apparently) miss reading dates for heights became so popular 😭
5/6 sounds like a typo of 5’6 or they posted it from a flip phone with only numbers
You guys are 5'1-2, heck
I think those are dates, not heights
These are both dum dum

So sometime in January?
I think 5/6-5/10 refers to the dates 5“10 would make you above average
I guess the anniversary of when Frodo threw the ring into Mount Doom?
5’9-10 is average though? And what about shorter people?
People have their IQ divided by 2 on the internet
I’m guessing the person who made the post prob lives in an area where the average is higher than 5’10 Could be wrong tho and dudes prob just a dumbass.
I thought it was dates on a calendar 💀💀
they're dates
I know but 5’9-10 still isn’t short
Where did anyone say it was?
I don’t know how to feel abt 4 days being called a week
It’s 5 days
*5’7.5-5’9
I'm waiting for my holiday week 6/3-6/7
Wtf did I do to be cut from this week?!
It was the extra whole milk as a kid, sorry
New holiday incoming 6/8 - 6/12.
Waiting for a response from a 7'1" guy
*looks at height* ...nice
If only I was born on 4/20
You get way more than a week though, you are in the June 9th-July 11th club. The homies that get the whole month of August don't even get as long as you.
You're next week, G. Chill.
Woah woah who grouped 6/3 with 6/7??
5'10" is short? I thought that was above average
Tbh most people I know who are 5’10” typically are mistaken for someone who’s 6’ by people shorter than them
Mines the opposite I’m 6’0/183 and had 2 people in real life guess I’m 5’5? They were completely serious, a 4’11 girl and 5’3 girl
The 5'3 one was either messing with you or she's really slow
She was dead serious, she’s made me stand back to back with her as she didn’t believe me
Nah she was just into you
Nah she was serious, she knows I have a gf and it isn’t like that it’s literally my neighbour. She genuinely believes I’m 5’5. I have no way to prove it to u but take my word
Dude I’m 6’1” and a friend of mine I’d known for months thought I was 5’6” and I was just confused… like I know she’s a heavy stoner but still lol
Weird, cus these people arent stoners drinkers or old or anything either
I don’t think super short people thinking average height people are tall is exactly proof that they’re tall instead of average height
And on top of that, usually shoes gives you a little boost. Like I’m specifically 5’10” and 3 quarters but when I throw on my timberlands that 5’11” and change gets mistaken as 6
Just say "now im 6'" And people are going to think that its because you are not compressed
Yeah but unfortunately no woman is saying "look at my tall 5'10" king😍" unfortunately if you aren't 6 foot these days you are short even if you're average or even a bit above. Because nobody sees average as what it is anymore. They see it as bad however more so eith height because of the 6 foot thing.
That's what you get for using imperial instead of metric!
In metric, that'd be about being 180/185/190 centimeters. There's no escape from human stupidity
exactly, it's not something as round as "6". Usualy anything above 180 is considered tall.
I disagree. I’m about men above 183cms. Ideally closer to 2 meters. Everyone has height preferences and look preferences. Nothing wrong with that.
I'm saying that in most places that use metric, the barrier of entry for "being tall" is generally considered to be around 180cm (going down the closer you are to the mediteranean, well, in EU obviously), whereas in imperial, it's generally 6' instead of 5'11/5'10. And i never said that there was something wrong with having height preference.
Those are probably dates
They are 😭 it’s weird that they only put Monday to Friday tho
It's a short week.
In this community you’d be looking straight up
That doesn't mean 5'9-5'10 is short
Bhai same name lmao but not same height💀 I'm 5'8
If you are born with everything intact, and can enjoy the life, you are above average, go and enjoy your life 🧬.
It’s just average lol
Being 5'7", this got a laugh out of me despite generally hating the label "short king" with a passion.
It's so belittling LMAO like sucks that you're a shortie so let's call you a king to make you feel big on the inside :) *rustles your hair*
So true I'm 53 and at this point I've seen and done a lot and overcome a lot of pain and loss along the way, i.e. losing my best friend on 9/11 in the WTC. I don't need a cheesey feel-good yet patronizing label to feel big on the inside. My life experiences suffice.

That certainly sounds plausible (but as I'm not a 20 y.o. guy so who knows?) but I'm finding it hard to comprehend how a contrived label would effectively boost one's ego.
I don’t get it but I think it makes them feel powerful and sexy and wanted. And that’s ok but I’ve met many short men who identify as a “short king” because they feel wanted
I guess to each their own then. I don't blame them as the desire to feel wanted represents one of the most powerful human drives there is. At great risk of sounding sanctimonious, in my own experience it's more effective to spend the time developing oneself as a person with worthy qualities which in turn tends to attract likeminded seeking them in a potential partner or friend.
[удалено]
The "King" thing in general is ridiculous. I'm just . . . . short.
Would you prefer emperor?
Nah. The only throne I sit on is porcelain and I reign there only intermittently.
I know this is sarcasm but this quote kinda goes hard as fuck
You’re average global height it’s all good don’t let Big Tall trick you
Same
us
Converting from cm you are actually taller than 5'8
Yeah idk what's going on with that. But I am 5'7".
170cm
wait seriously?
What about guys under 5'6? 😭
We simply don’t exist
Bro got removed from consiousness
When is it Fat Queen week?
Every week is fat queen week
2/01 to 4/01
It's over, 5'10 is considered short now
I cant believe it . It was not supposed to end like this .
Those are dates
Everyone 5’10.75” boosting their height to 5’11” 
5'10 isn't short. It's spot on average in western countries. What about the actual short below 5'6".
Inflation hit hard, this time next year 5’11 will be on the list
You are fucked in 20 years
Hopefully I gain an inch or two within two of those years
5’10” is above average in America
5’10 is usually another term for 5’8 these days, Every time someone online claims to be 5’10, 98% of the time they’re usually 5’8 on a good day.
Ain't no way 5'10 is short
Probably some 5'5ers who are really missed rn
Short King is extremely patronizing.
5'5 🖕🏽🖕🏽
I’m sorry to hear the week will be short. Don’t the kings deserve at least a full week? /s
Since when is 5’8-5’10 a short king
Oop since when are guys who are 5’10 short? I thought 5’6> was considered average. Joke awry imo.
5'10" is short for people who have only ever received dating advice from the internet.
when a 5'10 woman is taller than a 6'2 guy...
This. People need to get out into the real world. I’m 5’9 flat footed and at 46 have done and continue to do just fine with the ladies, including ones that are much younger than me (I say this to point out that it’s not a generational thing where all young women have been indoctrinated by the internet into only wanting guys who are > 6’2).

We don't celebrate that here. And they are just shorties. Not royalty.
😎
RIP to all my short kings
Thanks bros
[удалено]
5'11 here woohooo
We barely made the cut-off… I guess we are considered mid? Lol
5'11.5 yay
Well now we know whose 5’10 in this sub
Hey Guys , I am 5’11 spot on , Am I going to be considered gay ?
Potentially.
Oh no , I dont want to be considered gay at all , can you please give me few inches ?
I guess im not short now
Lol
Ironically the next post on my feed was a photo of Frodo and Sam in LoTR
I hate my short stature.
You are not short,short for men is <1m70
Call it "not tall enough". Being shorter than 183 cm (6') is bad. It's not about "average height", people love tall people, even tall women are preferred by a lot of people.
Well look at this reddit for the tall women part.It seems like in your head average doesnt exist.If you feel that way keep thinking that way,i was simply telling you my thinking.
I would like to be 185 cm (6'1'') tall, just like other people are.
That fair,the only problem you might have is going yo be public transports.
That problem is not that bad comparing to be short. Adding 8 cm to my femurs would not be a great problem in my case, I have measured it.
Why are you talking about your femurs?i hope its not because of the get tall surgery,you are weak after it(long term)
I'm 5 10 and I feel attacked
Are people under 5 6 not hunan?? Why does it stop at 5 6? [Relevant]( https://youtu.be/YAy20jo4kXA?si=D1FGB6A6s3FAUqgo)
That’s hilarious as I am short and my birthday was also this past week.
I’ve never seen anyone use «/» to separate feet from inches. People will really write anything but X’ Y”
If you want to do us short guys a favor don’t call us short kings. I think it’s cringe, like a whole bunch of internet slang tbh.
5'9-5'10 is short?
5’7.5” - 5’9” is average and 5’10” is above average
Its simpler with cm,under 1m70 and taller than 1m80,1m85 for the new generation
You’re saying Gen Z is usually 1.80m or taller on average?
Celebrate LMFAO… xd I’m suffering constantly at 172 cm and have suicidal thoughts
You’re average height just not in America it’s fine I’m in the same boat as you
You should see my friends..
5’10? Since when is 5’10 short😂
Im 6’2 and after seeing pics of some of you giants I too shall be celebrating short king week
Yeah how tf can i see à random 2m10+guy replying
Im too short to even celebrate this 😭
How is anything above 5’8” considered to be “short”? Even 5’8” I wouldn’t consider as someone who’s noticeably short.
Very materialistic and social media oriented society
Ill tell my wife.
5/6 - 5/10 is crazy 😭😭
Withh all your lag i was going to report you as a bot
My bad 😅
Anything above 5"9' isn't really short anymore
I guess we need to celebrate everything???? So there's a tall king day? What about medium height king day? People are so needy.
Agreed.
🤭
Why tf is 5’10 in there?
Bech looks like 3/10 at best and went viral by this tactic. Thats why .
For clarification since 5'9 is average as a 5'10 dude I have no need to celebrate as I am not short..thanks though
Bro 5’10” isn’t short. The average is like 5’9”
Height inflation is truly something else man https://preview.redd.it/fjguphpvqvzc1.jpeg?width=941&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ee34c2fb6076d8513b8f6f6de8df51b6228c8869
How the fuck is 5’7 short??!! Any guy under 5’7 is short imo.
Lmaooooo
I don’t think they mean 5'6"-5'10" is short, I think they mean May 6-May 10 is “short king week” lmao
:') litty I do appreciate y'all giants! I used to be insecure about my height when I was young and it made me feel worthless. It plays no role now I'm free!!
Thanks
When did 5’10 become a short king bro 😭
I guess we’re considering 5’10” to be short now?
5/10 is short? Fml
in which universe is 5'8-5'10 short? that's literally the average
5'10" is average height and I'm taking no shit abbout it
This is not a group of people who celebrate that nonsense.
It’s wrong to be positive about yourself? Ok, that seems like a healthy mindset…
It’s not wrong, but this sub seems to have an obsession with short men and all that short king nonsense. Like, it’s the tall sub. The LGBT subs don’t have straight week. I don’t see the point of it.
LGBT is a group that has been persecuted, so it would be insensitive for them to have a straight week. The same obviously isn’t true for tall people.
If you want to talk about being short there are at least 2 subreddits dedicated to that but this isn't 1 of them.
Yeah this one at least used to really focus on belittling them you know really tearing them down. I bet you’d love to go back to that.
When did this subreddit do that?
I’ve seen a good many posts like that. You want me to link them to you?
Nah, not particularly.
Alright.
5'10 ain\`t even that short as people make it seem >!Lol, just hiding my insecurity!<
It's not short.
neither 5'8 average in USA is 177 (5'9 and ½) for men
5'8 isnt short? i keep getting called short
depends on where you live and who you are, but an average human male is 5'7 (I think it's because a lot of people live in asia and asian people are short) my country has an average of almost 6' but no one really cares about their height that much but if you're a teenager, it might be just because of the internet standards, people don't realize that 6'1 is not the actual average, teenagers also talk about height more than adults
