Is 6 feet that tall anymore?

Post Reply New Topic

Six feet used to be considered really tall. It used to be the ideal height that every man wanted to be. Today, 6 feet doesn't really seem that tall anymore because more teenagers and young adult males seem to be much taller than 6 feet. I am 6 feet myself and I walk by other men in public who are much taller than I am. I don't consider myself short, but I don't feel all that tall either. I just feel like I am average height. Nobody ever comments on my height and tells me that I am so tall because my height looks normal. I used to get comments on my height when I was going through puberty, but it stopped once I stopped growing.

I haven't really thought about it.

I wish I was 6 foot.

Heck I would have less dysphoria if I was 5"7 like my dad.

I'm 4"11 ffs. Not even woman sized, that's like 5"2. Child sized

Only good thing is that dad did an ancestry DNA test and we partly come from a country where it's normal to be short so I have some kind of explanation and I'm not 'stunted'.

I grew up in the UK back when we were in the EU so I might not have the "s right. I mean feet.

I’m a shrimp at 5 foot 4 and 3/4s, 164.5 cm.

The average height for a man remains 5 foot 9 in the US.

There are many under 6 foot men still.

6 foot (183 cm) is taller than average but not unusually tall in most Western countries.
In the US, it's 84 percentile - meaning 84% are shorter and 16% are taller than 6 ft.

So, again - tall but not unusually tall.

I'm not sure.

I'm 5'9''-ish to my NT sister being 5'3'' and our mom is 5'0''.

All that is pretty average----even your mother, since she comes from a place with many relatively short (but strong!) people.

My NT girlfriend is 5'6'' and she's okay whenever someone tells her off for being "too tall."

I am 6ft tall woman. I am definitely tall for my gender but I am on the shorter side compared to my family members and relatives.
