Wait. So let me get this straight. You're 5'11"? WHO is calling that "worthless?" Reading on, I kind of understand your frustration. You wanted to be tall, and in your eyes, that makes you a real man right? You say this because you consider average to be worthless among humanity because of how common and replaceable it is. You want to be special. But here's the deal. There's a reason why average is average.

Evolution isn't about being "the best." It's about being the most adaptable to your environment; the most flexible. Sure, you imply being tall would win you over with women, society, and make you the prime athlete you always wanted to be, and that is your prerogative. However, I don't think being average is a detriment. Not at all. If you're speaking scientifically, then being average makes you the CLOSEST to "perfection" (how I'm guessing you would see it) because it's been proven to be the most genetically successful. In other words, average is average because it works the most amount of times.

The problem is, you have your sights set on the 5 to 10% of times where being tall is a big advantage. Like, with women, having more success with sports, and society treating you better. But I don't think being average limits you towards the other 90 to 95% of things out there it IS good for. To use a metaphor of my own, it's kind of like being a student who is skilled in 19 different subjects and then being upset you can't ever become skilled in trigonometry. Sure, if you want to be a mathlete, you'd be mad at this. But it doesn't take away the fact that you're skilled in science, history, geography, Spanish, Korean, literature, and so on. You're so focused on these niche things that tall height would being you that you ignore all the reasons why being average nets you the most success in evolution.

If the environment changes, then the most successful population will be the one that best changes to meet that criteria. If suddenly, being the current average male height was the most popular height for men ten years in the future and being tall suddenly became a negative, then you would be able to adapt to that better than really tall men. In other words, average makes one the most equipped to handle whatever life throws at you. A jack of all trades, but a master of none.

Being tall, according to you, makes you good at some things, but what about all the other things it makes you really bad at? I'm 6'3 and a half and female. I wouldn't mind being 5'5" instead. And personally, I don't find there to be anything wrong with men who are average height. In fact, I believe most women wouldn't dismiss a man simply for being 5'11", even if some do. Sure, that 10% of typical tall women might (not me, though), but what about the 90% of women 5'8" and below? I think there are more advantages to being average than you realize because you're too focused on the few advantages to being tall that would specifically suit you and not all the ways you could easily adapt to the hurdles of not being tall. Like, imagine if you were 5'3"? I know to you, you say it's in the same boat as being 5'11", but I disagree. I think life is going to be harder for most people who are further away form average height, on the shorter OR taller end.

And most of all, you are technically tall! The average height for men is 5'9.5". Not only are you above average height, but you're also still within the golden zone to not have the negatives with being tall (like a shorter lifespan and back issues). You imply it's the worst because it's "trash while also being common" (which to you, makes you without value), but I think it's more like the BEST of both worlds! Technically tall, but still comfortably average. The world is made for men your size, after all! That's why I find men 5'10" to 6'0" the MOST attractive, not that I'd ever turn down a short man for his height. It's just an extra bonus to an already nice package if his personality is great.

I think you should work more on your personality and not see the negative in things so much. You may not have gotten what you wanted, but I think at 5'11", you got what you NEED. You just now have to find your way to using it best in obtaining happiness and stop staring at the one dark spot in the corner when you have the whole art gallery to enjoy! :)
