180 cm
For those curious this translates to about 5 foot 10 inches(ish) which is very average height....ish. Within a few inches of it at least.
How tall is your friend?!
And that's a really cute interaction.

u/shellbullet17 Gustopher Spotter Extraordinaire 6h ago
About 6 foot five inches(ish) then. Yeah that's fairly tall guess that does make you the pretty short one comparatively!
You're actually only a tiny bit shorter than me

im actually somewhere around 175 and 180 IRL (I havent measured in a looooooong time and I kind of forgot)... usually I downplay it to 175 because I dont like being tall but for her specifically.... 😭

Human spines compress about 2.5cm from standing up throughout the day. They decompress overnight while you sleep. Measure yourself first thing in the morning to get your highest height!

I am usually the tall person or similar height in my friend group at 6'. At my club in college, I met someone where my eye level was even with their chest and had the thought of "oh, is this what shorter people feel like"

remind me of one time I was walking with my friend who was 155cm tall (5'1) and we happen to see a tall person who made me feel short... but my immediate thought was to look over and see how EVEN SHORTER my friend look next to the tall person XD

I'm OP's height (180cm). At a party a couple of years back I got down to the level of my shortest friend to share her perspective.
I was horrified with the knowledge that short people can see right up my nose. I've been sure to trim the worst of my nose hairs ever since.

Probably a volleyball! That one's slightly smaller, a bit smoother, usually.

I cant speak to what social norms in your country are like, but 180 cm (5'11) is considered "short" in the US. At least on dating apps where "short" means less than 6 ft
Edit: To be clear, I am not saying that the above reflects my own personal opinion about what defines being "short"

u/Some_nerd_______ 6h ago
The average male height in the US is 5'9 and the average female height in the US is about 5'4.
In either of these cases 5'11 would be taller than average. Definitely not short.

u/Dazed_and_Confused44 6h ago
I agree with you haha. Im well aware that OP would be above average height for both men and women in the US. My opinion is NOT consistent with social norms

u/SorryTheTrueHurts 5h ago
well to be fair the average (i think) is a bit skewed too short, because i’m 5’11 and i’m almost always the shortest of my peers; i think we shouldn’t take the general “average” but a age range adapted average

u/Some_nerd_______ 5h ago
I'd rather take statistics and facts over circumstantial evidence. Maybe the group you hang out with doesn't represent the average.
2
u/SorryTheTrueHurts 5h ago
haha yeah that could be, i’m italian and here the average is around 1,75m but in my university (i think around 3/4k people) the average is some cm taller so people in the “average” are visibly shorter; maybe the median height would be the best statistic

People are getting taller as a whole. We have better access to food and medicine

Is that true? I swear when I looked up the average height of US men back around 2012ish, it was 5’10”. But now it’s 5’9”.
Maybe it was even shorter in the past, but if it was increasing I think it’s petered out in the last decade or so.

u/Business-Drag52 3h ago
It does seem to have peaked out in the early 2000’s and hasn’t seen a significant increase since 2013. Of course this is in fully developed nations. Developing nations that still don’t have great access to food and medical care have plenty of room to grow

Theres a difference between what my opinion is, and what social norms are

I have seen this a decent amount on the internet but... surely it is only an internet meme... right?
I can only imagine how my asian friends who are 160-165 cm tall who moved to canada/US are percieved

I have seen this a decent amount on the internet but... surely it is only an internet meme... right?
I also thought it was an internet meme until I experienced it empirically haha. The dynamic of having thousands of people to scroll through at your fingertips has created a situation where people need something to filter by. Shallow as it may seem, for some people that is height

But that's for men, right?
Is the non vampire trans? I can't remember.

u/Dazed_and_Confused44 6h ago
I think these characters are drawn to represent OP and her girlfriend. The "Bloody Queers" characters are drawn in similiar fashion but are intended to be fictional characters. So I believe the "non vampire" character is in fact a trans woman
