I know, I wanted to but I could only put 10 options.

India Avg Height:

Men - 166.3cm / 5 ft 5 1⁄2 in

Women - 152.6cm / 5 ft

I have my doubts on this because very rarely do I see women shorter than 5 feet. Then how is 5 ft the average height?

I feel that they also included children in this survey. The adult average must be around 5'3.

That makes you adorable 🥰 Absolutely nothing to hate about it.

In theory maybe, but mirror tells me something else.

But I would take the consolations gratefully.. 🌸

What's your height? 5'7 isn't short. It's not tall, but isn't short either. Above average considering average Indian male height is like 5'5.


168 cm when I went for hospital check up. I think it means 5.5 and 1/2.

Some advantages of being a short girl!

  • You always have enough leg room
  • It makes you look younger
  • Guys will always be taller than you
  • You can wear any heels that you want
  • You've become an expert at climbing shelves and reaching high things
  • You're going to live longer
  • You're great at limbo
  • Less leg = less leg to shave
  • Nobody can see up your nose
  • Blankets and beds are never too short for you.
  • You’ll never be asked to lift things
  • You can even shop in the kid’s section, which not only expands options, but also saves tons of dough.

Some disadvantages of being a tall girl:


You will be shamed and called a bamboo tree, not that I care anymore but growing up it does make it a tad difficult.:(

You will always stand out, literally, amongst your friends. And have to crouch for getting a decent picture, so much that it becomes second to your nature when posing for the pictures.😳

You always have to customize clothes as readymades can never fit - which means spend more money for the same stuff.

No legroom.

Used to LOVE wearing heels but never could but I overcame that now and relish wearing heels and becoming , literally a towering personality. Man how much I love intimidating some wussy men who cannot even bear to see a woman taller than them.lol

Most of the boys get intimidated and don’t even come near - advantage as well as a disadvantage.

And a lot more I had to face growing up which I don’t remember but now I have learned to take full pride and advantage of my height.😎

Probably because this new data only counts adults 19-39 - so the newer generations who've benefited from better nutrition. Then again 65% of India's population is under 35 with the avg age of 29 (really young).

The old data counted 20-39

That's literally the point to revise height.


Pls don't quote me ever again.
