    Male Midlander max height, no matter how tall it is in real life, isn't tall in this game.

    If the races were evenly represented by the playerbase, it would be much more apparent.

    But of course male Midlanders seem tall. That's because there are so many Miqo'te and female Au Ra out there.
    What about those who want to play a short, handsome male race that isn't miqo'te?

    Male midlander is average, and could even be considered above-average at max height. Male viera being taller than a midlander at max height, if they were on par with females, would make them a tall player race; they would be tall in both RL, and in-game. Au Ra males, for example, are very tall, and can be gigantic in comparison to everyone else.

    Again, if we are to use playerbase preferences... You realize that many players will drop the height slider to minimum, right? I just don't see this as a strong argument for anyone to make here. The only way for this "handsome, tall" male race to be properly represented among the playerbase is to force the issue. To not allow this race to be short - shorter than max-height midlander, for example. Even then, if the playerbase prefers to play smaller, or shorter male characters, this does not necessarily mean they will be proportionally represented among the playerbase. Players will just simply choose to not play it.
