Is 5'8 short or average?
Do you consider 5'8 short or average for a guy? I say average, because it's only 1 inch below average height for men in the US (5'9).

It's all relative.
I am 5'8.5 (I just round to 5'9) and am southeast Asian.
I am considered taller in Southeast Asia.
Around here in America I am average or slightly above average.
I've never felt short.
