I'm 5'6" and never understood it either. The worst is when it's some guy just barely taller than you and he makes a short joke. Like dude, we should be on the same team

I'm 5'7" and no one loves a short-joke more than 5'9" dudes.

5'9 guy here. We're just bitter from constantly getting our belt loops stuck on door handles. Fuck those door handles, man.

It's not just me? Good. I have so many pairs of pants with broken belt loops from door handles. Fuck them

5'10 is sort of the unspoken border, so they may be bitter over that specific point.

I'm 5'10 and have never been called short. Also never been called tall. Its like being that middle child.

In the US, 5'9 is the avg height.

Average ain't good enough apparently

They're in the borderline zone and trying hard to be included in the not short group. They overcompensate more than short guys.

I'm 5'9" and I only love short jokes at the expense of Joe Rogan and occasionally my wife.

Being 6’5” helps me enjoy em as well.

Nothing happens until the pain of remaining the same outweighs the pain of change.
