I said my country's avg height was lower than mine without specifying region. Though I don't live in Asia (I'm from Latin America), I've reviewed worldwide stats about avg height and it seems like I'd be less fit there, though. When I was a more inmature teenager I daydreamed living in some European country with the hope I'd fit more though I stopped caring when I realized that won't be the main factor for helping me get a better job, success chances for dating, treated less differently, etc. Since then I'm in this sort of "just accept you're different, at least it's not a disability and it has its non-social advantages" and I expect to find a better stance in my future about it. I usually react with external indifference any time I'm remarked for it (as a mechanism of defense) to the point people get angry sometimes, though internally I consider it as a descriptive factor for understanding which kind of person I'm seeing. I must admit I'm not the most sympathetic guy (I lost practice and this site seems a nice place for reminding me how to improve on this) and this has a bigger effect on connecting, likely to be a more real issue for relationships. I had this on mind but I wanted to make this thread based mainly on the height issue.
