I'm 6ft 3inches and I have been since I was 16.

For guys, I consider anything under 5ft8 is short.

Average height for females I consider short. I don't mind shorter girls, but a foot shorter than me is quite a difference.
Nochowderforyou Reviewed by Nochowderforyou on . how tall are you... and what do you consider short? The average height for males in the usa is 5'9" (175.5 cm) and for females 5'3" (162.6 cm). What do you consider short/tall though? I'm between 5'6" and 5'7" but I always feel short. I think for males anything under 5'8" is short and over 6' is tall. For women I guess under 5'2" is short and over 5'8" is tall. (btw for those who don't use the jacked up american system ' = foot and " = inches... 12 inches to a foot... 2.54 cm to an inch) Rating: 5
