Just more proof of white privilege, because these short men succeed here in DC only because they are white.

Or they are highly educated and motivated to be successful but sure it’s their skin color.

If we're allowed to be fun here, I'll admit to having noticed that white men in DC to seem to be shorter than in most places, on average. I have talked about this phenomena with friends and coworkers before. So OP isn't the only one to notice.

Who knows why!

I live in Bethesda and surely do not see all these short people. In fact, the parents at Visitation or Gonzaga or Prep are over 6 feet tall and the women are pretty tall as well. Maybe it’s an Irish Catholic thing. The shorter people I have met are immigrants. Otherwise, compared to other states I have lived in, the white peoples are just as tall but not as fat.

What about the people who mow your lawn or clean your toilets?

Are they invisible to you??!?

My DH is tall and he always felt like a giant in DC. He hated it. Then he joined one of the foreign services and there are tons of tall guys there. Then he left and now we're in a different part of the US where there is more of a mix of heights.

It's settlement patterns more than anything.

Tell us you've never lived in Minnesota, Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa, N/S Dakota and Wisconsin without actually saying so.

I'm a native Nebraskan. 5'10" is NBD, truly. 6 ft is uncommon but not rare at all, especially for the under-25 set.

Because short men are disavantaged in careers. They can't get ahead in private companies, so they stick with the govt.

You are so right that there are no private sector jobs here. I was just saying, I wish I could meet a lawyer, lobbyist or defense analyst someday! But I guess I'm in the wrong metro area ..........
