Some people are really, really focused on their height and see it as a big source of issues in their lives. I don’t know if it’s a bigger thing in the US (where most of those complaining seem to be from) or maybe I’ve just been lucky, but I don’t remember getting too much shit for it.
Occasionally you’ll meet someone who just can’t see you as a full adult, if that makes sense. Even in a professional environment I’ve had people try to tell me they aren’t convinced of my abilities until someone who I work with confirms what I’m saying, with no other logical reason to mistrust my claims outside of identifying height instinctually with good moral standing or intelligence.
It’s mostly in the dating world though, thankfully it usually presents itself as an issue immediately and you can just use it as a sort of filter. The women who truly don’t care are rare but at least you know they’re cool with it immediately.
Everybody sitting here being offended on 5’7" dudes’ behalf: thanks, but we’re laughing our asses off at it! I love being a short king

In the US, there are constant reminders everywhere. Sometimes even lemmy usernames point out our slight stature.
