How tall are you?

I've shrunk by about a centimeter in the last 15 years or so. :eek:

A few months ago, I had to get myself weighed and properly measured before surgery.

Now 5' 6" & 1/2" (just over 169) instead of the 5'7" (just over 170cm) I once was.

However, other bodily measurements seem to have expanded. :eek:

My wife's dad was 6' 8" or more, so she has the tall side of the family - I'm the runt of mine - my dad is 6'3" and my brother 6' 4".

And my son in over the 97th percentile on the growth chart so far for all his doctor visits, so I'm thinking you're right.

Just an FYI to all those people who have lost height...
depending on what time of day and what you have been doing height can fluctuate as much as three inches. Take a marathon runner for example on average they are two inches shorter at the end of the race than at the start.
look it up if you don't believe me....
:p

Kissing. I've never been out with a girl close to my height. That'd be nice... to hug someone around the waist, instead of doing that elbows under the shoulders thing!

I'm in the opposite boat to you. I'm 5'9 and my girlfriend is 5'11. I keep looking for other couples where the girl is taller - I've only seen one in 18 months.
My girlfriend can pat me on the head and say "there, there" :eek: :eek:
 
188cm & done growing up at least!

...But I'm 25 (although, since we're now in January on this side of the pond, I can start the countdown to my 26th birthday on the 28th Jan!)...

Or to put it another way you're 27 next year!
 
A happy 30 years old, and 5' 8''

My girlfriend makes me feel tall tho, she is 4'10

Our baby will be 1 next week and is about 2' 2"

Girlfriend is jealous cos our baby is nearly half her height already :)

[edit: weird, isn't it... I'm a child of the Metric System... I don't understand Imperial units, and I don't want to. But in the UK we still measure physical attributes (fnarr!) in Imperial... height in feet & inches, weight in stones (14 lbs) and pounds)]

Same here. I can't work out smaller measurements in inches (paper sizes, for example) but I can't work out anything larger (such as height) in metric. If someone tells me they're 175cm tall, for example, I don't have a clue what that is, but if someone tells me they're 5'8" I know exactly. The same is true of weights – I have to have food weights in kilos to understand them, but need people to give me their body weight in stones and pounds if I'm going to understand it. I think the problem stems from being taught metric at school but having all my older relatives still using Imperial – I got stuck in the middle and so get a bit baffled with both systems...

Anyway, for what it's worth... this 29 year old man stands a little over 6'2" in his stockinged feet (about 188cm for you metric types).
