Here’s how I think of it: when you’re two inches shorter than average, you’re not short yet, and vice-versa. So I don’t agree: being two inches below average doesn’t make you short already. You have to stick out from the crowd of your respective sex to be considered tall or short; I mean, when you think of a tall guy that stands out from the crowd, you think: he’s tall, which isn’t the case for someone who is only a mere 2 inches above average. I mean, 5’6" really isn’t tall for women, because it still blends in with the female population. By my own definition, being above average in height means you’re within average and over the average, but not considered tall yet.
