How tall are you?

[Melrose]

I'm 5'11", which is above average for an American but since I'm also Asian that makes me even more above average. It's great walking around Asian restaurants and stores towering above almost everybody.

Who's that Chinese basketball player that's like 8' high? You're like him. Cool.

 

[maflynn]

Just a hair under 6'3

 

[xUKHCx]

6'1" or 185cm although I tend to slouch.

 

[Maddix]

6'2"
Kinda sucks actually. I'm thin and finding longer shirts that fit are difficult.
Or going to a bike shop and they never seem to have the bigger size in the bike I want.

 

[djtree2u]

6'6"

 

[S.B.G]

72 inches

 

[MasterHowl]

6 foot

That would be Yao Ming who is the tallest NBA player at 7' 6".

 

[iLucas]

5 ft 7.

 

[wrinkster22]

five feet six inches

That would be Yao Ming who is the tallest NBA player at 7' 6".

Is that the guy from Rush Hour 3?

 

[Vudoo]

Is that the guy from Rush Hour 3?

No, that is Sun Mingming who stands at 7' 9" and plays for the CBA.

 

[Les Kern]

6'7", and shrinking.

 

[Les Kern]

i'm 5'6". below average, but i'm happy about it.

At least you can get clothes. Most of you here can. Let me tell you, that REALLY sucks. And don't get me started about shoes.

 

[iJohnHenry]

And don't get me started about shoes.

You're married to a very, very lucky woman.

 

[lewis82]

5' 11" - the same height I was when I was 14. At that time, I was convinced I was going to break the 6' mark, but it wasn't to be

Ha, almost same thing here. My mother kept telling me I would grow until I was 20 years old, but I'm 19 and I have only grown 1/8th of an inch since I was 17. It kinda sucks being stuck at 5'11", but at the same time I am so slim (~130 pounds) that I'm glad I'm not taller.

 

[Internal Fury]

6'1 just over the average for a great looking american dude.

 

[Cristian]

72 inches.

 

[Mr. McMac]

5' 10"

You are about the PERFECT height. People think being tall would be cool but it's not. It's a pain in the ass.

Can you call and tell her that?

 

[mobilehaathi]

6'1" or ~ 185cms

 

[Tower-Union]

Wow that must be awkward? I have began to watch my posture as i found that i was more accustomed to not standing up/walking straight. Dont want to reach old age and have a humpback.

Yeah, I find myself frequently sitting/walking with a bad slouch. . . turns out its a hard habbit to break! I feel sorry for the 7'1 guy though - hello back/knee problems

On a related note I ran into a "tall person" forum the other day, one thread was asking if anyone DIDN'T have knee problems. One guy at 6'1 said he was fine and people shouted him down for "not being tall."

 

[Andeavor]

Odd, I used to have knee problems while I was still growing, today I just get the occasional back ache.

And yes, 5'11" is the perfect height for a man, 6 foot is already pushing it but then you need to be proportionally evened out.

6'1"
