Universal height

[Derek Flint]

Again, why do I need to learn it?

I have no use for it in business or personal life.

So 175cm is considered as short, then how is that Don Juan was about 175cm tall? I heard that you are only considered as short if the girl is taller than you, if you are taller than all the girls you are with then its perfectly cool.

i don't know what it's like where you live, don joffe, but in italy most teenagers are more than 175 cm, so that's quite a short height... maybe not short, but surely a bit less than average.
u cannot relate to don juan, since he lived over 300 years ago, man... at that time 180 was really tall (like 190 today), so, obviously, 175 was above average height

To appease a bunch of Europeans?

F*** that.

I use the metric system about as often as a Frenchmen uses soap.

Then that's probably your fault for being such a provincial fool, isn't it? Nothing like a dose of cosmopolitan flair to make a man cultured and interesting.

Do they factor in midgits when considering the average height? My friend tells me they do
