No, 174 cm (approximately 5 feet 8.5 inches) is generally considered an average height for a man worldwide.
While perceptions of height can vary depending on location and cultural context, globally, 174 cm falls within the range of average male height. Whether it's perceived as "short" often depends on comparing it to the average height in a specific country or region. For example, in some Northern European countries, where the average male height is higher, 174 cm might be considered slightly below average. However, in many parts of the world, it's a perfectly normal and acceptable height.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
-
Global Average: As stated in the reference, 174 cm is close to the global average male height.
-
Regional Variations: The perception of whether a height is "short" is highly dependent on geographical location. What is considered average in one region might be considered shorter in another.
-
Subjective Perception: Ultimately, "short" is a subjective term. It depends on individual preferences and cultural norms.
Therefore, while 174 cm might not be considered "tall," it's certainly not "short" in a global context.
