I'm 6'1.5" (maybe up to 6'2.25"), and I feel very tall. I'm frequently the tallest around, and people love to comment about my height. Whenever somebody is my height, they always stand out in the crowd and it's clear that they are very tall to everybody around them. I enjoy being 6'1.5"-6'2".

I'm 5 foot 6 (female), but I feel much taller because of my slim body, and also the way people ''compliment'' me on how ''tall'' I am. It's supposed to be a compliment, but I hate being called tall.

I am 172 cm (5'8" I think) and I feel tall among other woman and some man but lower average when I am surrounded by a lot of men. I am quite happy about that. I can't even imagine being 160cm and looking up at everyone around. I would feel like a kid.

It's not an insult.

I'm 5 foot 4.75 inches. There are times when I feel short; other times, I don't really care. I'm just me.

172 cm (about 5 ft 7" or 8"), which is short for a male.

Same here, Murihiku, I'm also 5'7" on my drivers licence but I think I measure metrically at 170 cm barefoot.
When I go hang out with friends I'm often the shortest male in the place. In my case, however, I weigh 235 pounds which makes me look almost as wide as I am high (see avatar to left). I don't mind being that heavy though, as I think my super stocky build makes a lot of aggressive extraverted NT's feel intimidated that might otherwise give me sh!t over other aspects of my appearence.

I am 2 meters exact which is rare for a male of my age, which is slightly less than 200.

The tallest man on record was of course the American Robert Pershing Wadlow (272), and my fellow countryman, Väinö Myllyrinne (258), served in the army during WW II. After the war he bought a car, and its roof had to be remodelled. There are several 200 Clubs in the world but I haven't joined any of them because I would feel shortie if I did.
