Is 5"6 short for a guy?

Basically, would you consider 5"6 a 'midget'.

Oh yes, of course: I think the clinical definition of 'midget' is 5'6"
Yeah it's short, but I wouldn't call them a "midget" lol.

I believe the minimum height is 5ft, or thereabouts.

Edit: 148cm is the minimum requirement. That's 4ft 10, so yes, they do let "midgets" in the army.

i think of midget as in tyrian lanister type midget
It's taller than me :tongue:
Barron Trump's 10 and he's 5'9".

Also 5 inches (5") is quite short for a guy.
In comparison to the average, yeah it's short, but not midget size.
I'm 5'7

Well hes 4ft5 which isn't far off
Anything below 6'6" is manlet.

Anything below 6'1" is midget.

It is within the range of sizes homo sapiens typically grow to. It is very short for a tree tho. The Larch.

u get my point
Ignore all above posts.
8'0+ is decently tall.
7'0+ is the cutoff, even girls are this tall nowadays.
6'-... Stop. You're not even human anymore.

I assume that midget also means weak/different genetics.

I mean what can a 5'6 or 5'7 guy do to get taller? Not much.
