Height

[LB89]

Hey guys (and by guys, i mean girls). I'm male, 17, and just over 6' tall (6.25-6.5). Is that considered tall? I always heard that it was really tall when i was younger, but i see a lot of ppl who are taller.

[renaissancewoman101]

I think anybody over 6' is tall. Heck to me, anybody over 5' is tall. But then I am only 4'5".

[yeawutever]

6 ft and little in a guy is normal, now 6"7" is tall. Everyone has different height and it's normal so why worrying about it!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[perfectliljewel]

to me yes... but thats because im only 5'2ish i think its really funny because i had a boyfriend that was 6'4 and it was kind of hard to kiss him and it was weird when i hugged him and it was hard to hold his hand lol

The average height of an American male is 5'9. So yeah, you would be considered tall.

Yea, it's true, then again it's just cultural differences. In other countries it must be different. 5"9", isn't that tall, well not to me (5"7" here), but somewhere 6"2" or 6"4" or above, then yea that's tall.

LOL! I was just thinking about this. I think that is average height for a man. The reason being is I too am 6'0" so that is my cut off point when dating. However, it seems some short men WANT a tall gal. I can't figure out why? I would be so uncomfortable with a shorter man but that is me.

 

6'0" your alright in my book

 

P.S. to all the shorter men I mean now harm with my comments about being shorter. So please don't take offense. If anything I wonder hy shorter men are attracted to taller women?

Well 6' is tall, but I would not consider it that tall overall.

 

While it is taller that "average" it's not huge or anything. I am 5'4" and my bf is 6'3"ish and is just perfect for me (I make a good chin rest too for him!). I have dated shorter men, and taller ones...and height is really one of the last things I even think about when it comes to someone I like!

Well at 5'4" it would be my last concern too but with being 6'0" it is one of my main concerns when meeting someone. If under 6'0" I just would feel so uncomfortable. I mean 5'11" is ok but thats about it.

I would say that 6' or so is about typical or average. I do not consider it overly tall. My now late husband was 6' tall and it did not seem out of the norm for me.

 

My EX bf was 6'7'' which is what I would call really tall. I am used to average to tall guys in general. My dad is 6', my brothers are 6'4'' and 6'2" and my son is 6'2".

I see a lot of "average" 's and "not that tall" 's, dang, and here i was thinkin i was tall.

That's exactly my same height (6ft 1/4), which I really hate. This must be the main reason I'm having bad luck finding a relation, never even date not kiss

 

Seriously wish I was smaller!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[agent1607307371]

Well, you're taller than me. (5'"2) but smaller than the last guy I dated (6'5")

 

6' I think is more than average but not so much that I'd be pointing.

 

Honestly, I like taller men and would actually (going purely physical here) would say that 5'9" is shorter than I'd like...

[neva_black_n_white]

In yorkshire (from where im from) thats just like average height really for a lad. most of the people i know are around that height .. so .. maybe its the water lol

 

im 5'8 and a half x and thats like normal for girlies around here x

[coollady1957]

Actually at your age, I would consider that and average/ tall, and you will probaby grow a bit more the next few years.

 

My brother was about 6' tall when he was your age, and continued to grow until he was about 19 or 20 at which time he had reached 6'4''.

[neva_black_n_white]

Then again x for your age you might be tall x who knows x youve still got growing time... hopefully you can become the giant you aspire to be *big smile*

 

tall men i love it x teehee x

[FoxLocke]

I'm 5'8 myself.

 

I think I'm short(even though it's only an inch below average), but I wouldn't change my height. I like it. I think short people have good equilibrium...haha.

 

But I think anything OVER 6 feet is "tall" when it comes to men. For a woman 5'8 and up is tall, in my opinion.

[Iceman26]

When I was 17 I was 6'4, and then grew another inch after I turned 18.

[ElektraHere]

Well hellloooo Iceman ;-) hehehehe

[perfectliljewel]

taller men always use me as an "arm rest" its kind of funny

[Momene]

I was 6ft on my 13th birthday and grew 2 more inches and had stopped growing by my 14th. I'm tall but not unusally so. I definitely think it helps with getting attention from girls and even makes up for being fat and ugly.

[LB89]

for an update, i'm now 18 and just about 6'2". I love it, I tower over short girls, lol.

Tall is reletive. Different countries and different cities tend to have different average heights.

 

In the US, the average height is 5"9' as someone pointed out. Some countries in Europe have an average height of 6'2"!

 

Some races trend towards being taller or shorter as well it seems to me. The Asians in Vancouver tend to VERY short, so I am sure the average height in Vancouver is skewed shorter! I am 5'11" and I tower over much of the mall crowd!

 

So you are tall in some places, average in others and short in still others.
