To be more accurate with the data, 5'8" is actually just an inch shorter (which is nothing really) than the mean American adult male height, which is 5'9", not 5'10". It's also half an inch taller than the world average for adult males. So either way, that height is neither tall nor short statistically. It's just that humans generally include being comfortably taller than their local average height as an integral part of attractiveness for men, especially in modeling & adjacent entertainment jobs and any other job that requires or results in frequent visual media exposure like politics and broadcast journalism. Hence, why TV news anchors & reporters, Presidents and Governors are often over 6ft tall.
