It's a bit taller than that in Manila probably, especially in BGC/Makati (rich parts of the metro) where nutrition isn't an issue for kids but yeah people here are really short. I have a good pic someone took of me in the middle of the crowd during the Good Friday procession this year but I don't feel like scrolling through my gallery and cropping my face right now.

I can literally not fit in visually, there's no avoiding it. I wear a Casio and while my clothes are more expensive than what most locals wear it's just average middle class white guy stuff in America (rugby shirts/button downs and jeans if we're indoors). @lain go to Mexico or something sometime and it's pretty similar, a tall gringo is a magnet.

Years ago when I went to Panama with my parents and sister it was the same, the resort staff would speak to me English, same with my mom even though she doesn't speak any English, but because she's blonde haired and 5'10" tall they just presumed "American" lol.

I put zero effort into finding women, now that I'm getting a house I'm going to have zero excuses for not trying.
