Is it weird that part of me wants to go to another country just to feel closer to average?

I found out my family is planning to visit my grandma in mexico soon and I'm mostly excited to see her and to experience their culture but part of me is also excited because the average there is around 5'7 and I think I'll fit in more

Indonesia's your place, man. I haven't been before, but I was in Vietnam & Cambodia in the winter and most guys are in the 5'4-5'7 range.

Yes you will definitely fit more. I wish that was the case for me but at least it will be for you. Gl!

I want to do this to move to a culture where I can meet a woman of same interests and same lifestyle (childfree, athletic, financially sound) that DOESNT care if a guy is short

Well the point was take your pick of countries there not that Europe is a country.

Europeans are as bad as Americans so no, you might have some luck in Eastern Europe if you are 5’5-5’7 and have already compensated for your shortness though. Even then if not, or if you are shorter than 5’4, you will have it as bad as anywhere else.

One reason I loved living in Asia. Even though I was usually the shortest in a group, my friends were similar heights. I’m moving back within the year, not for height reasons although its a big plus.

I think it would be cool to move to a place where the buildings are designed for people around my height.

Honestly it would probably be just as interesting to be a guy who's the U.S. equivalent of 5'4, I'd have fun lol

A lot of dutch people admire Americans. But heightism is real there(source: me).

Hmm, yeah I guess I would only enjoy it if I could still move back to America. It would suck to have to live there permanently.

I might fit in in the Netherlands because I'm 5'8" but also 14 so I can grow
