There's this guy who thinks 5'9,5'10,and 5'11 are short/average heights and that average is irrevelant that true?

He said you have to be at least 6'0 I'm 5'9-5'10

No it is not true and shows by offering a range that he does not understand "average", "mean", and related terms. He might be unusually tall and is very self-conscious about it.

I don't know the mean height of adult males but I'd think 5' 7' nearer.

@ArishMell the girl above thinks 5'9 isn't very tall? Lol

@Thexboxoneguy1991 As someone who is very much below mean adult male height, which I might have under-estimated above... I can understand that idea! :-)

@ArishMell ok you think she's right?

@Thexboxoneguy1991 I don't know! She may be close, but you can't quote something as an "average" by giving a range of values. :-)

My own[i] guess [/i]would be for 5' 8" not the 5' 7" I said previously, but I don't [i]know[/i] the height given from proper studies.
