I don't consider myself very lucky in the U.S. I am from Burma where the average height is like 5'5.5" for males, and an average deviation of about 2.5 inches from the norm.
I am 5'2" and I just had wished I was 5'5"+ someday but that probably isn't going to happen. I don't know if a lotta you people consider yourself shorthanded by genetics, but in the U.S., where the average male height is 5'10", I can understand if you are.
I'd do almost anything for a height that most of you are unhappy with...

Hi. Can anyone list a height calculatoin for me? I turned 13, 7 mounths ago. I currently stand at 5'10". Both of my parents are 5'11". My Mom's Dad is 6'6". I have just started my growth spurt, last mounth. I've grown about 2 inches in 1 mounth. ( And i usally grow 2 inches in 1 year). So, i use this height calculator on most of you guys listing your parents heights and your heights. its is----------------> if you are boy (Father Height)+(mother height)/2= (Answer)+2 through 6 inches.
If you are a girl Add them up, divide by 2, and thats how tall you should be.
it says i will be about 6'5", but i'm not sure. madchronic says on 26/Nov/09
WOOOW some peoples posts are pathetic but everyone come down about height it all depends on genetics and everybody grows at different periods and different rates. i have some friends that grew to 6'2" at 16 and never grew another inch. some that had huge growth spurts at 18. it all depends like im 5'10" and never had growth spurt, just grow about a inch a year. Who cares anyways small people are lot of times the best fighters somewhattallchick says on 19/Nov/09
Im 5'8 on the dot. Everytime i get measured...(in the morning) i measure 5'8 and after a long day on my feet im a bit under. I keep doubting my height as in alot of people (mostly guys) tell me that they are around 5'11 or six foot when in reality they look more like 5'9 or 5'10. Do you know how many ppl have said "Oh you must be 5'10 b/c im 6 foot". I just say "ok" nod and let them think that they are as tall as they want to be. Im 17 years old almost 18 and i haven't grown in almost 2 years. This site is very interesting. Tony M says on 12/Nov/09
Hi guys. Brilliant site. I was just wondering does anyone know the best way we should measure ourselves? Growing Up I've had internal organ problems so I was constantly being measured by my doctor over here in the UK. How can we best do it ourselves. My posture is also dreadful. Due to my job and years of computer games growing up I have a tendency to roll shoulders and slouch forward but when I try to stand straight because Ive got a big chest for my 5ft 9n1/2 (WET) frame it looks as if Im unnatural. But it actually feels better for my back. So because it protrudes I go back to slouching. I really want to start working on my posture now because I'm getting really bad back pains. Thanks for any help. Anonymous says on 4/Nov/09
i had a bizarre case of a friend who was likely 6ft1.25 when i first met him years back when he was 23yr, every year i have like seeing him grow an inch. at 26 now he looks nearly of 6ft4.5, thats weir right? rob, could you believe of a men after an age of 23yr was still growing? is it normal? Editor Rob says on 1/Nov/09
J.J, we done that photo with the heels at 12pm, from what we measured that moment it was 5ft 2/8ths me, 5ft 8 3/8ths jenny and then with the heel about 6ft 1/4 inch.
so the heels gave not more than 3 and 7/8ths inches. Here was the full length photo in heels showing 6ft 1/4 inch:

With the use of shoe lifts, it is almost impossible to use this method, unless everyone is barefoot. I delivered wine to Letterman often during the early 80s, and he often came to the door dressed for softball. He's 6'1" I'd say. I am 5'10.5.
I worked at the Ft. Lauderdale Jet Center a few years back, which is a business jet FBO, so a lot of private jets came in and out of there. Ted Turner - no more than 5'7" in loafers. Matthew McConnahay is maybe 5'8". Stallone - I'd say 5'6" or so - but he had "big shoes", so its a guesstimate. Arnold is 5'9". A Navy buddy protected him for a while and confided. He was "sworn" to secrecy. Ha ha.
Look at Cruise next to Hoffman in Rain Man. Both so little. I doubt Cruise is more than 5'5". Hoffman is real, real short, and cruise isn't that much taller. Teri says on 19/Oct/09
I was only 5'1" my senior year in high school. I had my first baby at 19 and grew another inch! So, I guess that's true what Anon says about women growing a little more because of pregnancy and growth hormones. It makes sense. J.J. says on 8/Oct/09
Rob- another eyeline showing the true 4" difference J.J. says on 2/Oct/09
As I can also see the eyeline gives 4" not 4.5". It is clearly shown in your picture with Jenny. I call this being much taller than someone, BUT NOT TOWERING YET. J.J. says on 2/Oct/09
'Rob' could you tell me how many inches of height does Jenny's heels give (even though I think it's 4") & how many inches does it actually measure & whether it's got any platforms & how the platform affect height gained.
Thanks. Anonymous says on 1/Oct/09
Anon, girls stop growing at age 18. It's impossible that they keep growin after that, unless they have some kind of hormone condition. f says on 11/Sep/09
chris says on 23/Sep/08
hi this site is cool, Im 19 years old and i hope i will grow 1 or 2 inches. im 1.83, For american standards it would be tall;) but i live in the netherlands, wow dam im short!! almost everyone is above 6 feet, like 6 feet 1/2
my father is 6'1 and my mother is 5'2
bye bye
My reaction: I also live in the Netherlands and 1.83m isn't that short man, come on, it's still quite tall in Holland. Anon says on 16/Aug/09
not true it depends on your inherited genetics but most girls growth stops or slows down by 18 but if they're going to be taller than they're average height parents, they keep growing by 1/2 inches until 21. Also girls/women gain 1/2-1 inch in height when having their 1st child even id they're past 21 it's b/c of the growth going on with their baby they get the effects of growth hormones too.
Guys too, can keep growing until 21 that's the final growth age, so if you're 18 and your family is tall you can squeeze out 1-2 inches more. If your family is mostly short or average I'd say you can maybe get another 1/2 inch. @ Anonymous D, don't worry you will be whatever you will be, and you've got 6 years until 21 y/o to keep growing and you could have a growth spurt between now and then. Maybe you should hit the basketball pick up games or volley ball some sports help you develop long and lean paul says on 13/Aug/09
Ray Romano is 6'4 and Brad Garrett is 6'8 1/2, Height has nothing to do with what you do it is all genetics mainly I mean I know a lad who is 20 and 6'5 and his parents are small so it varies at times. Ali020202 says on 11/Aug/09

I could only judge a celebrity's height if I see them in Person-they all look tall on TV, then you meet them(some of them), they're quite tiny. I really cannot judge them by picture that well, unless I know the celeb's height.
I'm a 15 year old girl at 5ft4, I reckon I'll be at least 5ft5 or 5ft6. I was pretty tall for 11, around 5ft1, 5ft2 at 12/13, 5ft3/5ft3 1/2 at 14 and now, 5ft4. Dylan says on 22/Jul/09

i JUST turned 16 im about 5,7 or 5,8 and i want to know how tall is will be help me out! MissKit says on 11/Jun/09
I think its definitely important to mention good health and exercise in regards to gaining more height. My mum is 5'1 and my dad is about 5'4 however, my brother is over 6'! This was due to him playing sports every day since he was about 8 till his late teens.. so I dont think "tall" genes should always be considered as the main reason for ppl being tall ;) Jon 182cm says on 9/Jun/09
I made myself a height chart to measure myself by using a tape measure and sticking sum paper to my door, haha! its not classy, but it works. i measure myself by putting sumthin on the very top of my head (preferrably flat and long enough to reach the chart from a sensible distance), and reading it that way. Rob is right about head measurements as well, bt i do hav a slightly larger head, being 10.5in instead of 9.5in and distance frm eyes to top of head being 5 to 5.5in. Big Mike says on 6/Jun/09

anonymous d, u may grow to 5"10 if your lucky, but considering u have small parents, 5'10 would be a good achievement, and your only young so that helps, i mean i was 6' at 16 and 6'1 at 17 so it can happen (p.s. my mums under 5foot, no lie lol) short girl says on 13/May/09
wahsay says on 13/Mar/09i had a class mate who was 4'10 and had same problem as yours its not tht u have a bad posture ..u might be wearing lot of pencil heels...they make girls look shorter try a 3-4 block heel tht would make you like 5'3 tht would make u feel more comfortable:)
I don't wear pencil heels. I rarely wear heels. Its just that I sometimes wonder why and how my friend who is an inch shorter than me looks either the same height or taller than me, IT FREAKS ME OUT!! I'm honest with myself. If I wanted to lie I would say I'm 5 feet, but I look shorter than my friends and cousins who are the same height as me. Its weird! jaz says on 13/May/09

How tall do you think i will be? jj says on 9/May/09
I'm 5'8 and 19 years old
my dad is 5'9 and my mom 5'6. I have to say it's probably all in the genes because my dad got the height from my grandpa who was around 6'0 and all my aunts and uncles got their height from my grandma like around 5'4 to 5'6. Prue says on 4/May/09

Alex says on 11/Aug/08
My head is pretty much the same as Rob describes it. My head to eye level is about 4.5 inches and my head length is 9.5 inches.
It also depends on how tall you are because taller people are usually (not always) overall bigger than shorter people. So somebody in the 7 foot range is very likely to have head that's 12 inches or longer instead of the standard 9-10 inches. carlo says on 9/Apr/09
Brenden Evans is 7'4 1/2 and he is 13, he has had something done to stop him growing, Chris Lister is 7'4 and paul sturgess is 7'7 huge giants and they are all between 13 and 21 I believe. Alex says on 8/Apr/09
So if I understand this correctly, if my bottom lip measures 5'10.5", plus 7.5", that would make me 6'6"? carlo says on 8/Apr/09

I'm assuming you are a guy, Boss, in which case I do think you'll grow taller, although it may not be more than another 2-3 inches. Boys often keep on growing in stature right up to the age of 19 or 20, whereas girls have usually reached their full height by about 16 or 17. Hope this helps! eoin says on 2/Apr/09
MOHAN hey im 18 male and below average. i have to say that i have grown about 3/4 to 1 inch in the last 6 weeks from keeping a healthy diet i.e two big glasses of milk a night and 13 minutes of stretching excerises a night i.e ones that really stretch ur spine and legs and fifty press ups and weights. the routine takes about 20 mins. i also get plenty of excerise during the day as im a farmer. keep good posture. i dont know how much ill eventually grow but another couple of inches is possible . hard work is a must. good luck tommo says on 1/Apr/09

My friend is 14 years old, around 5'4.5". His father is a short man and stood at a peak height of 5'3" and is now closing in on 5'2", but he's like 50 years old. He's too young to remember his mom, and doesn't have very many legitimizing pictures, but he hears that his mom was about 5'8" or 5'9". I'm telling him that he could grow from anywhere between 5'7" (if he doesn't nourish himself properly) to maybe 5'9.5" if he does.
Also, it happens in a lot of cases that the oldest brother tends to be the tallest in the family. I've heard this is because the parents were youngest when he was conceived, so he obtained the best height genes. But I'm just noticing that a lot of full grown males are shorter than their older brothers. I for example am 17 and 6'1", expected to grow to 6'2" peak height, but my older brother is 23 and 6'4". I wonder why this is. Enrique says on 7/Mar/09
Hi can someone predict my final height i am very concious about it

everyone...your genes pretty much dictate what height you will grow at. so if you want to know, look at your parents, and extended family. my mum and dad are both 6ft, i'm 5ft 10in and my brothers are over 6ft...
however.... i'm 23 and still growing. this is most probably because i didnt start growing until i was 13, (at 11 i was 4ft 10in...not tall by any means) hope this helps!!! LEITO says on 1/Mar/09

at what age do you normally stop growing?
- For girls, it's around 16, 18 at the latest. For guys, it's 18, 21 at the latest.
BOSS, maybe you'll grow an inch more.

I'm 6'8 and i am 20, I play local basketball, height is mostly in the genes, my parents are 6'7 and 5'10, it can depend, a good diet is key, cereal, fruit, vegatables, water and juices, fish, chicken, eggs, plenty of protein is good,and also sleep get at least 8 hours a night it can help your body grow after time.

MOhan, if you're growth plates are fused theres is nothing you can take, not even prescribed growth hormone that will make you taller. Its possible to thicken your joints and bones with hgh and other compounds, which may give you another inch or so, but nothing in the realm of a real height change. GUK says on 19/Jan/09

You stop grwoing whern youre about 21 normally although its rare you grow taht much after youre 18, im 24 now and when i was 18 i was 6'0 now i am 6'2 so i only grew a couple of inches from 18- 21 but 6'2 is tall enough, good height for any man. jag says on 12/Jan/09
BOSS, you may grow a bit taller, with height it depends on your genes mostly, if your dad is only 5'9 I cant see you growing over 6'0 but you never know, it mostly depends on your parents heights, but eating and drinking healthy helps a growing body, I too am 18, I am 18 and 6'1 but my dad is 6'5 and my mum is 5'6, it often depends on genes etc, foods good for growth,fruit, vegetables, egg, fish, chicken, meat, and other stuff like cheese, for drinks avoid coke and alcohol try juice and mik and water also, fruit juicews it helps you grow maybe and a lot of sleep too. UK, vaguely tall says on 11/Jan/09
Well my Dad is 6'1'' and my Mum is 5'7''. I'm 21 (almost 22) and I'm 5'10''. To 'TooTallGirl' - I was already 5'9'' when I was 15/16. I only grew my last inch when I went to uni, although this is probably because my posture improved, who knows! I was always the tallest in primary school and I think my main height growth happened when I was around 13. It varies, of course, depending on when you started puberty etc but girls always have their spurts before boys (hence why I was able to be the tallest in primary school - when my male friends hit 17 suddenly they were all giants!) Ask your Mum to see when she grew - I was a similar age to mine. While I was growing my Mum always said I'd be 5'8'' but my Aunt said 5'10'' - I guess she won that bet!
Oh and it's all genetics and diet - if you have the tall gene (take a glimpse at parentals) and you eat properly during your main growth period (therefore allowing enough energy for the gene to kick in) then you will be tall. I don't believe you can really make a difference afterward I'm afraid... unless there are specific surgeries I'm unaware of. Just be happy with what you've got. I like being 5'10'' but it comes with some downsides and I find myself being at a similar height to my male friends on a night out as opposed to my female friends, but hey. It also makes me slightly prejudiced when it comes to meeting guys (my preferred height is 6'3'' - based on me using the UK average height ratio)!
Hope this helps.
p.s. When I asked my (5'8'') male friend if he'd date a girl taller than him he said "yes, because there'd be more of her!" So no fear eh? ;) Terry Robinson says on 9/Jan/09

I'm a 40-something year old female, & I stand 5'8 in my bare feet. To any girls out there who feel they are too short & wish they could grow, may I add my 2 cents? Being tall is a MAJOR pain in my A--! "Oxford" type blouses with the button cuff sleeves don't fit...the sleeves are NEVER long enough. I always have to roll them up. Pants rarely fit right either. A lot of guys shy away from dating tall women. (C'mon guys! We don't bite!) Being tall ISN'T all it's cracked up to be! Please don't waste your time wishing to be something you aren't. Remember, the grass isn't always greener on the other side. Ian says on 31/Dec/08

Umar, although exercises and diets can affect height, most people's heights run in the family. I've seen boys who do a lot of jumping and stretching exercises and drink a lot of milk not reaching 5'5. Their parents were short. Arikado says on 22/Dec/08
to .. you're even taller than me when I was 13 I'm a boy i was 5 ft 1. now I'm 17 I'm 6 ft 1. I think it's in the genes .. short girl says on 21/Dec/08
I hate seeing how much people complain about how their height. I'm only 4'11, but I think I look 4'10." In photos you would think Im, like, 4'9." now thats sad...... Maybe its b/c I don't have good posture, but I don't know..... Do you guys think Im being overly self conscious or do you guys think I might be wrong in my past measurements? I've been measured 4 ft 11 plus 1/4" at my last doctor's visit in the afternoon, but somehow comparing myself to others have made me doubt myself. TK Nathan says on 16/Dec/08
If you wanna add height you have to keep fit, do a lot of streches, drink a lot of water and eat high calcium foods. My parents are from Sri Lanka and so they are not really that tall, I'm 5'8"and I play a lot of soccer, which is kinda short for a guy but not that bad, most guys will grow until you are 21. If you do a lot weights it does affect you height, which was my problem, but you can grow a few inches more if you do stretches daily for bout 5-10 mins in the morning and before you go to bed. It does not matter how tall you are as long as you are good at something height is not an issue. I'm a soccer fan and for guys like me look at Lionel Messi, he is 5'6.5" and one of the best soccer players in da world. wahsay says on 15/Dec/08

im 5 ft 6 and im about to turn 15. I really love my height and don't want to get anny taller! but every1 says ill hit 5 ft 11. When do girls usually get their growth spurts? Denny says on 8/Dec/08

My mum is 5'8.5, and my dad is about 5'11.5.
When I was 15, I was about 6 feet and a half ince tall. So I want to know, if its possible to grow up to 6'2 or maybe 6'3? Denny says on 8/Dec/08
In the morning I'm 6'1.5 and I'm 17 years old.
My mother is 5'8.75 and my dad must be about 6'
When I was 15, I was about 6'0.5, so I get only one inch in the last to years.
Is there the possibility to grow up to maybe 6'2 or 6'3? Janis says on 11/Nov/08
Hi, guys.
Im currently a 6'4.5. 17 years old. At the last 3 years have grown max 2 inches. I have a very tall neck imo - 4.5 inches and almost 10 inches head. What is going to be my final height? any ideas?
My dad (42yrs) is 6'1, at age 18 he was 6'3. My mom (42) is 5'7.5, at age 18 she was 5'9. Mt two sisters (20 and 21) are both 5'7. jenny says on 7/Nov/08
Chris from dec of last year. I don't blog or get heated about trivial things but your insecurity of not making it to 5.10 by 17 or 18 doesn't give you the worlds percpective on what is attractive in women over a height of 5'8. Since I was 12 years old i've been a foot taller than all guys around me until highschool when they caught up. If you knew a little history then you would know females develope years before males and this can be discouraging when you're a teenager now days, but this was also why centeries older men and younger women married because that was natures way of procriating with a healthy man and woman. Now as far as whats attrative to each individual, height is an ignorant thing to consider if you're looking to find someone that clicks with who you really want to chill with. I wasted a lot of my youth being embarrassed by my heighth but being begged to be a model. I'm just personally shy and couldn't handle that center of attention in public. Thank goodness though because now I know in my early 20s almost 100% of men around me go crazy when I wear heals which makes me close to 6 foot. I also never didn't date a guy because he was shorter than me because if he had the confidence to date a taller girl, then the had a great personality. Which is why I married a man that is exactly my heighth of 5'9" with no shoes on us both. But he loves to sweep me around in heels that make him a good 3 inches shorter than me because he knows wether you're "to short" or "to tall" in your eyes someone sees you in their eyes a different way. Eating healthy is common sense and so is exercise but your genes will give you your ending height so instead of me being jealous i'm not short and petite, I have to hear everyday all day long. "how do you do it? you're so tall and thin! Whats the secret?" Genetics. If I could choose I would be wynona ryders look a like, but I bet she wishes she was tall and skinny. Be what you're gonna be and find someone who likes your personality because if you are tall you will shrink with age and get a hump back. If you are short and petite, you have to watch the sugar because it may make you feel fat. Even though I have a weakness for big soft strong guys. They make you feel safe. Short guys can make you laugh like no one else. so forget your height concerns and start working on your personality because thats all you got going for you Willy style says on 2/Nov/08

I am a 6' 1" female, barefoot. I will never cease to be amazed at how many men LIE about their height! this inevitably happens when I am seated. The next thing out of their mouths is usually---how tall are you?? 6'4"??? LOL The shorter they are the more hair spittingly they add that quarter of an inch! Has anyone else had this happen to them???? Stand up straight, shoulders back!!!! BONNIE Umar says on 12/Oct/08
Ok now I know that at this age (13) we start getting a lot taller. People, listen up! If you're 13, eat a lot of healthy foods and exercise a lot. When you get older, you won't have this chance to get taller ever again. .. says on 1/Oct/08
Im 13 and 3 months, a girl, and my height is 5ft 2 and 3 quarters. My mum is 5 ft 5 and my dad is 5 ft 11 i really want to be 5 ft 8 do you think it will happen. James says on 25/Sep/08
Hey Alex
You have a 9.5 inch head? Have people ever said that you have a big head? How tall are you anyway? My head is around 9 inches and think its on the big side!! It really sucks!! That is why I think 8 inches is the average height not 9.5 chris says on 23/Sep/08
hi this site is cool, Im 19 years old and i hope i will grow 1 or 2 inches. im 1.83, For american standards it would be tall;) but i live in the netherlands, wow dam im short!! almost everyone is above 6 feet, like 6 feet 1/2
my father is 6'1 and my mother is 5'2
bye bye killa says on 23/Sep/08
hmm, well if you ask me people with a small head ahve and advantage on seeing who's taller or shorter, i have a long torso and a long head, which where most of my height comes from, although i'm 6'5.5, i am considered really tall, why neglect, i do feel very tall, if my percentiles were asked, i'd say im taller than, hmm... i'd say 98% of the population 5'11 says on 20/Sep/08

you might probably grow to 6'1-6'2
or you can probably stay at 5'8
some people grow at a very early age and then they stop growing. Captain Spaulding says on 20/Sep/08

hi,I have 18 years I measure 5'10,5 " and my father 5'7" my mother
5'2" and my brother 6'I want know how to
grow even more please help me Lenad says on 13/Sep/08
1 inch range for most shoes? That would be right because my dads in shoe measurement was 190cm and so barefoot he would be 187/188 range. Just wanted to share it with you guys. Len says on 11/Sep/08
People are taller in the morning than at evening. When people are tired or depressed they might slouch. Camera angles can make people appear taller or shorter. If you want an accurate measurement, don't measure yourself. Ask someone else to measure you. If still uncertain as to accuracy, have three or four different people measure you and compare their answers. If you want to reduce the emphasis of height, don't wear tall hats, or stiff hats or shoulder pads in clothing. Some styles of hats add three inches! Also, don't wear shoes with a thickness or heel over one inch. Flats are good as long as they have good arch supports and shock absorption soles. Whatever you do, don't slouch. Be comfortable with yourself -- with the body God gave you. Count your blessings. If you get overly critical about your height and tell yourself you feel too tall, you might reconsider if your spine settles four or five inches as you age. If you obsess about being short, you might suddenly grow taller than you might have liked, or find yourself in a country dominated by people much shorter than you are. Height is not a matter of one being more desired than another. It's a matter of each height having its own set of advantages. Anne says on 8/Sep/08
If that's what 5'8 looks like next to 6'3, at 5'0, I'm like a midget! Big King says on 4/Sep/08
If you guys wanna know how I measure myself. I don't have a stadiometer but when I measure myself, I take a tape and put it on my head. I stand up straight and I'm 6'6" in the forenoon. I also can't believe that I'm that tall because celebrities who are already at 6'5" appear to be huge so I can't face it that I'm taller than these celebrities. alexander macedonian says on 28/Aug/08
i am 22 years old. Two years ago, i was 5'11" , and yesterday i was measured (in hospital) 6'1" without snickers. I still think i am 5'11" , i don't know why. Umar says on 26/Aug/08
I'm 13 and I'm 5"8.5 barefoot. My dad is 5"6.5 and my mom is 5". I'm naturally losing weight and getting taller every year. I haven't started growth spurt yet. How tall do you think I will be when I grow up? Please answer, thanks. Danny says on 26/Aug/08
I dont think 5'2 is really short ....not even in high school the average height for women is 5'4 in America. In high school it doesn't matter how tall you are..if you are going to play sports like football or basketball some peopel think their height is important which is really all about skills. 5'2 is super cute. but what matter is how you think of yourself. you should always think of ways to feel confident abvout yourself to feel good about yourself and that is sexy. Dave says on 25/Aug/08
Hi! I'm 13,5 years old and my height is 164 cm (5'4). My dad is 165 cm (5'42) and my mom is 155 cm (5'1). My father was a weightlifter. I do bodybuilding now. What do you think, will I be 173 (5'7)-175 cm (5'75) tall at the age of 21? TinyB says on 24/Aug/08
Hi, I'm 19 and I’m 4ft8&3/4 the 3/4 is very important to me. I hate being so short it totally sucks, especially when you go out in heels and so does everyone else, it seems like a waste of time when all your friends are taller as well! I’ve struggled with my height for as long as I can remember being bullied and teased at school and even now get stupid comments from ignorant people. I've had to learn that it's just something that makes me who I am. The comments hurt and bring back the insecurities I have but I just try to ignore them now. I really just wanted to say that being really short or really tall is a disadvantage but not one that has to ruin everything. Make it something to be proud of. Own your height!

D says on 6/Aug/08
Do u guys think 5ft2 is really short? what height is consider as normal in hoghschool?
5'2" would be the starting point of a short height for females, so it's not really short, just plain short. In high school, the most common heights for females are 5'2"-5'7". 5'8"-6'1" are common heights for males, but it can be extended lower for the freshmen and sophomores. Alex says on 11/Aug/08

Hey dudes!!!! Height is cool.... I am 6ft. 4 and 18 in 3 days. i have not grown since i was 15/16. So have stopped. But i am a full time actor and model and also a sportsman, so being tall is ok and does not limit you on anything. Think about all the tall actors, john cleese, clint eastwood, vince vaughn, christopher lee, and even west end actors like oliver tompsett all above 6ft 3. What you have to remember is when people say they are 6/3 they are probs 6/1or2. and when people say they are 6.0 they are 5.11. Tall is good and most boys stop at 18, so i have 3 days left to grow lol. joking. I have a gorgeous girl friend who is 5.9 and people say it looks perfect. so just a confidence booster for all you worrying tall guys out there. Anonymous says on 1/Jul/08
Ok just wanted to say that it is posible to grow more. I was 5'11.25" when I was 18 years old, And now I am 20 and straight out of bed I am 6'2". And that all thanks to my fait that I had to grow more. I just knew I could grow more. I started to go to run everyday, eating healthy food like food cook at you house, started eating more vegetables and fruits, and going to bed everyday and sleep longer cuz when you are sleeping thats where grow comes. I also intentially playing, I hang myself from everything that I could reach. I also started playing basketball at park, that also probably help me alot. But after all of this that I did I think that fait was the one that help me succeed, honestly now I wake up and thank God for what he has me. So anyways just wanted to point out beacuse I have seen that many people were putting comments saying that if it is possible to grow more after your 18, oh in another thing I already had facial mustache before 18. So yeah it is pretty possible to grow more you only have to have fait to do it. Trace says on 29/Jun/08
I know a guy who was 5 feet 9 (5´10 at the most) at 18.Now he is 20 and 6´1.So don´t freak out when you are not tall at 17 or 18 some of us take more time to grow than others. flash_of_eden says on 29/Jun/08
short girl -- sometimes its just a matter of being self-concious about your height. not saying you are, but if you measured your body perfectly straight at 4-11 then thats probably what you are. i wouldnt worry. SHREI LUY says on 28/Jun/08
hi. i'd like to know how tall an italian actor is. in his site u read 190 cm... may it be less than that? actually he looks always taller than anyone else. i don't know if it happens because he's very very very tall or if other people are all short! i can't find any photo where he's shorter than other people.

i'm 4 feet 11, but I was measured at 4 feet 10 3/4 5 years ago when I was 17. Since I started college I've been measured from 4'11 3/4 down to 4'11 1/4. I never thought it was possible, but I guess I gained 1/2 an inch since I finished high school. Maybe it was b/c I lost over 30 pounds or maybe my last few doctors measured. I'm not trying to be to hard on myself but I don't know how to measure myself. I try to accurately measure my height. I get 4'11 with my body perfectly straight, but sometimes I worry that I really am less than 4'11. Any thoughts on this? leonyhli says on 3/Jun/08

Im 16 and 2 months old, male and 5'8. My dad is around 5'8 and my mum is around 5'3. I would realy like to get to 6'0 by the time im 17-18 because I want to boost my modeling career off as many people have said to me, "Are you a model?".. I dont know whether I have had my growth spurt yet but I havent started shaving so that shows I am not coming to the end of puberty yet.. Does anyone think i will reach 6'0 by that age ?? mee says on 21/May/08
me says on 19/May/08
it's different for all guys. im 18 years old and about 6'1, whereas my dad is 5'10-11, mom is 5'3-4, and my sister is 5'2. i think im getting taller now too because i just started buying longer pants, which leads me to believe i could reach somewhere between 6'3 and 6'6. that would be cool.
how tall you have been when you were 17 y. old? me says on 19/May/08

im 15, male and 5'9. Ive grown about 3 inches in the past year and i hope my spurt hasnt stopped yet. I guess im a bit obsessive over height. My father is just about 6'0 and my mother is about 5'2/3. I really want to be 6'0+ but my height prediction is 5'11 which I dont like the sound of. Whilst that is an inch over average it doesnt sound too good to me. Whilst most guys are finished growing by the time they are 18 i want to know what exact height I will be. I know of environmental factors such as eating etc but can anyone predict any possible height that I may become? Also im not as active as I was when i played a lot of football (soccer) last year, so will that maybe help? Anyone predict when I will stop growing? Thanks a lot. the dude says on 19/May/08

Most people who claim 6'4 are in reality barley 6'3 most of the time. Some who say they are 6'2 are more like a wee tad over 6, and many claiming they are six footers are probably only 5'10 or 5'11, everyone likes to add an inch or two of height. Or mabey it is the fact that as an adult male Iam only .... Drum roll............. 4'9 and a half , I threw in the half an inch because as I said everyone adds to their stature, but at 4'9 am I upset that most people even "short men" and 5 foot women are taller than me and because Iam jealous of anyone over 5'5 ? NO I accept myself and my unique height, be proud no matter who you are or what "faults" you have. In closing I can run faster than three of my freinds who are all over 5'9 lol. harry says on 14/May/08
HI,I am male and have just turned 13.I am only 135cm/4ft 5.5'.My mother is 5ft 2'and my father is 5ft 9.5'. I hope to reach 5.5 fully grown.Is there anyone out there who has achieved this. devs says on 13/May/08
Hi, I'm a 5ft 3inches girl and I'm 18.Can grow at least an inch or inch and a half still through a proper diet? please help cause I've heard through a lot of calcium intake it might help DandyRandy says on 12/May/08
Amarylisse. It really depends. I knew some girls who were really short at your age, then grew up pretty average height. I knew some that were around 5ft4in but never really grew much taller. Parents height doesn't always matter either. I have a buddy who's almost 6ft tall and both of his parents are under 5ft6in. So to answer the question... nobody really knows, and it all depends.

I'm a 15 year old girl and I'm 5'0. My mom is 5'5 and my dad 5'11. No one in my family is as short as I am, on both sides of my family people are relatively tall or average. My doctor says I'll be 5'1 - 5'2 at most. Am I done growing or will I grow some more? 5'10.5'' man says on 25/Apr/08
Ethoke: Don't worry about your height. I won't lie, you're definitely a short man, but unless you're planning on being a basketball player or NFL star, height will not be a crippling deterrent when it comes to achieving your goals. Height is only one aspect of a human being. Dude says on 24/Apr/08
Actually, Scott, coming from a guy who's about 6'6, 5'2 is a perfect height for a girl. Tall guys tend to go for smaller girls. Judging by your comments, I'm assuming that you must be about 5'2.5. Nice Lighthouse On Ya. anon says on 16/Apr/08
At 5'll and 17 yrs old your most likely fully grown (males stop growing generally at 18) . you will not grow much more than 1 or 2 inches Phoenix says on 14/Apr/08
Have you ever seen a man who could grow up 3 inches tall from 21 to 23 years old? Have you ever seen another who gained from 160cm to 180cm when he was nearly 21? I was told about him by one of my friends. He said that the man really wanted to join the football club but they didn't accept him because of his height 160cm and his xtremely skinny body. He was very very disappointed and he tried so much... I said that I didn't believe this story but my friend didn't say anything more. He just smiled. Uhm, it's may be real but little possibilities! If this story is real, I admire that man so much. He has such strong will power. Scott says on 9/Apr/08
To Acerious: You're lucky to be 5"11 with your parents being that short. You'll stay there most likely.
To Etokhe: No 5"2 is not good by most standards. That's short even for a girl. There are a number of actors that you might be able to look up to (pardon the pun) namely Danny DeVito and Verne "mini-me" Troyer. If you believe in Karma you might want to ask what you did in a previous life to deserve your current state, and then pray for a better life next go around.
To Spurting: You might be 6 foot but give me a break 5"11 is fine most girls say ideal height is 6 foot but you can't really tell the difference between 5"11 and 6 foot so stop measuring yourself and count your lucky stars your not 5"2 like poor Etokhe. Spurting says on 8/Apr/08
I'm 21 almost 22 and 5'11. Gained an inch over the pass 6 months and probably still growing, hoping I make it to 6'. Is that possible for my age? acerious says on 6/Apr/08
Hello people. After having read most of the comments here, I decided I'll post something of my own. I'm turning 17 later this month, April 19th. To be honest with you, I'm a height freak. I measure my self everyday since i was 15+ . When I was 13 -14 it was around 5'7 to 5'8. When I turned 15 though, I was definitely 5'9. At 16, around 5'10. Last month I measured, I was only a little over 5'10. That worried me. So yea, the thing is, today, i measured my self and it seemed Ive grown an entire inch taller. I now stand at 5'11 lol.
I was wondering how tall am i grow? My dad's 5'9+ and mom's 5'5. I'm mostly asian and in NY. Like that matters lol.. Adam Brennon says on 26/Mar/08
My God that's rotten luck. Your lack of confidence is understable. There is wisdom in that old consolation that 'it's what's on the inside that counts'. Height is no measure of intellect, charisma, ability ect in principle, but shortness can be a inhibition and disadvantage in reality. I feel for you, I really do. I used to be small between the ages of 11 and 13 and it was a nightmare. little one says on 25/Mar/08
your height is neither good nor bad. you should find that your height will not prevent you from doing anything that you set your heart on doing. name one thing you would love to do (apart from modelling).
your height will not prevent you from doing it. only your own personal belief system can prevent you from doing it.
be short in stature yet tall in other ways.
michelangelo was only 5'4 or thereabouts. and he was a bloody genius if ever there was one. actors are two a penny. there was only one michelangelo. Juice says on 24/Mar/08
I'm a 19 year old male, at 5'9''1/2 in the mornings. I play alot of soccer, ever since i was 6 years old. Does all the stress that my body goes through while playing the sport decrease my height growing ability??? i want to get to atleast 5'11.. doubt it though because my dad is like 5'7'' and my mom is 5'2''... & i have mexican heritage! ha! Etokhe says on 21/Mar/08
i'm 19 years old and i'm just 5'2" or about 160cm. Is it good? I have no confidence with it. Is there any Hollywood male actor or singer just like me? If someone know it, tell me please.. Etokhe says on 21/Mar/08

Wow chip your growth pattern is like exactly the same as mine. I was about 4'10" at 11 and then about 5' at 12 by 13 i was like 5'2" by 14 I was like 5'4.5" then when I was 15 one day I grew like 3/4 of an inch in one night to about 5'5" then I slowly grew to about 5'6". I'm just barely 5'6" though even dropping slightly below it by the very end of the day. I haven't grown since I was 15 and a half. Little Boy says on 13/Mar/08
Hey Chip! It is definitely possible you may make it to 5'10 or close to it! I would'nt count on reaching 6'2 though! I guess anything is possible,but from my research I have found that if you have one tall parent & one short parent then you will usually end up somewhere inbetween! I am 5'8 barefoot! I am 23 years old & would love to hit 5'10 atleast! Hell even an inch would help! My fathers peak height was 6'0,now he is 5'11 & my mothers peak height was 4'11 & she is like 4'10 1/2 now! My genetic potential is suppose to be 5'7.5! Which I am that usually if I have been on my feet all day & my spine is wore down,but usually I stay at 5'8! In the morning just slightly taller! Now I don't think I have grown any since I was 17! I had a simliar growth pattern like you had! At 15 I was 5.6 when measured at the doctors & I was wearing combat boots! So I was slightly under that barefoot! My father was like 5'10 up until his mid twenties & grew up to 6'0 somewhere inbetwee 25-27! So maybe I will have a late growth spurt & atleast hit 5'10! I strongly believe my body is capable of it! Do not listen to all those who say that it is impossible & that you stop growing at a certain age because they don't know what the hell they are talking about! There is a common age when most stop growing but that does not apply to everyone! We all grow in cycles! We all grow differently! Usually it's around 19-21 for guys,but that does'nt mean that applies to everyone! I know people who have grown at 22-23! I have alot of honest friends who claim to have grown 1/2 an inch to an inch in their late twenties! So Chip guys like us who have one tall parent & one short parent will more than likely grow slower & end up somewhere inbetween,& it is very possible for guys like us to grow alittle later! You just have to take care of yourself & stay active! Stretch,exercise,sleep well,& no smoking or drinking! If you want my prediction of how tall you will be I think you will end up somewhere inbetween 5'8 & 5'10 in the next 3 years or so! Hell man! You could sky rocket that even!
There are cases where you will stay like that until you are 18 or 19 then all of a sudden have a growth spurt from hell! I doubt you will be anything less than 5'8! ank says on 12/Mar/08
I'm a girl and I'm 5'11, used to wish I hadn't grown so much because all the guys I meet are shorter then me and some are even afraid of talking to me because of that. I used to wish I met someone much taller then me but now I'm ok even if he is a little shorter, because once you accept yourself and your height it gets irrelevant..... joven filipino guy says on 12/Mar/08
Just my opinion. Chip, I think your doctor might have a good prediction. Since your mother is short as you said, you might reach 5'10" the most until you the age of 21 to 23. My mother stands 5'5" and my father is 5'8.5", I already 6'1" by age 23 and I'm now 30 years old. I guess genes plays a major factor, an adequate intake of calcium based food and drinks will help. Good luck! James says on 10/Mar/08
6'0 or over is a tall guy for sure. Chip says on 4/Mar/08
I am a 14 year old male. My mom is 5 feet and my dad is/was 6'1" (I'm positive he's shrunken over the past few years, not because I've grown taller). I am currently5'5.5"-5'6". When I was twelve, I grew from about 4'10" to 5'2" in a few weeks. At 13, I went from 5'2" to 5'4.5". At 14, I basically grew an inch, put me at 5'5.5" at least. My 15th b-day is coming up, and I having really grown more than a centimeter since then. I'm pretty sure my growth spurt is over, but my doctor predicted I might slowly reach 5'10" (if my dad was really 6'1", that is). I'm still not quite done with puberty, so I really don't know what'll happen. My ideal height is 6'2", but I wouldn't mind being 6'0". sylar says on 29/Feb/08
my mum is 4'11.5 my father is 5'10 i'm 5.11.5 (181 cm)......i was born 2 months early too..the doc said for me 5.7 - 5.8 .... i think the genetic history matters...like grandparent's height ecc.. Terry says on 23/Feb/08
Billie In Says: "I'm a 5'5" girl and im always the shortest in the class room."
Thats ridiculous.. where do you live sweden? The average height for a girl is 5'4" and 1/2. I'm a 16 year old guy and i'm 5'5 and 1/2 how do you think i feel? I rarely see anybody my age and male who is as short as me. I see plently of girls 4'11"-5'1". 5'5 is a little above average for a girl. Your lucky! Chip says on 17/Feb/08
I'm a bouy, nearly 15, and I'm 5'6". My mom is 5'1", and my dad SAYS he's 6'1", but I can't help but think he's like 5'11" instead. I'm really not sure. When I was 12.5, I grew about four or five inches, then about 2 inches when I was 13. I've only grown one inch since I turned 14, so I'm not really sure if I'm still growing or not. As far as sleep goes, I don't get dangerously low amounts of sleep, but I don't get any more than 7 hours, usually. I drink milk every day, exercise moderately. During my last trip at the doctor's (I was 5'6" then, too), they predicted I might be 5'10", but that's if my dad is really 6'1". I HIGHLY doubt it. However, my dad might have shrunk in the past few years. jabber says on 17/Feb/08
unlikely you'll make 6'4". At 16 you are almost fully grown.I am 24 now and 6'4" but at the same age was already 6'2" . you have a couple of inches left at most.I was your height at 14. you are already a good height so dont worry ! Chance Bayne says on 30/Jan/08
I am 4 months away from my 16th birthday and I am exactly 6ft tall. I estimate i'll probably grow to be about 6'4". Sureshot says on 26/Jan/08
i will say this as a personal observation about height. if you gain muscle or fat (quads especially), you lose height. your stance will naturally widen. personally, i have gained about 70 lbs. that affected my height by over an inch. i went from 75" to 73. 85" then back to 75" when i lost the weight. that was a large margin of weight but still, actors/actresses that gain/lose for roles prob flux height based on that fact alone. not to mention what age eventually does. i will say that most actors i have met have larger than normal heads for whatever reason. its tough to judge by picture how tall anyone is unless you have met them or know the guy in the pic and have a measuring tape handy to accurately use the outline provided above. it's still fun to talk about though!! trey says on 24/Jan/08
Paul...183 is the standard 6ft measurement to go by...then add or subtract roughly 2.5 cm per inch. thus, 182 is about 5'11 2/5ths emily says on 14/Jan/08
I am 14 and i'm 5'4". my mother is 5'5.5" and my dad is 6'1". I'm wondering when i'll be as tall as my mom? theres not that much of a difference though. But I like being medium in my grade and sort of on the short side. But I know i'm going to be taller because my dad is so tall. But I think being tall when your an adult looks really good. I think 5'6" is the perfect height but even taller looks good :). DONT BE AFRAID TO WEAR THOSE HEALS GIRLS! paul says on 9/Jan/08
how tall is 182 cm, is it 5'11 or 6'0 i always said it was 5'11.5, because i am that when i got measured and my girlfriend is 5'0, people say she's tiny but look sexy girls like kylie minogue and jennifer ellison are only 5'0. too_tall_mama says on 6/Jan/08
I've never visited this site before tonight, and I have to say I had no idea there was still such an ongoing debate over height! I find it kinda funny in a sad sort of way - men pretending to be taller than they are, women trying to downplay their height. I'm 6'1 and I cannot count the number of times I've had to bite my lip to keep from damaging the pride of a man who claims to be over 6'- even though I can see the top of his head! LOL To all the haters, I have but one thing to say - modern science has provided ways to change our hair and eye colors, sculpt the shapes of our bodies and faces etc., but there's one thing that cannot be faked and thats ones height. It must make the haters crazy jealous that we are so extraordinarily unique. Jess says on 5/Jan/08
Changing diets huh?
My mother is (also) Japanese and 5'2 (158cm)
and my White American father is 6' (182cm)
My twin sister is 5'4 ish and I'm 5'3. Last year when i was hospitalized, the doctors said i was 5'2, But I'm visibly taller than my mother! At LEAST by 1/2 inch. I blame my sister and I's shortness from being born 3 months premature lol.
My whole dad's side is relatively tall, the women being mostly 5'5 and up. 145 says on 26/Dec/07

chris. you are so wrong. im 6 feet tall and the only thing outta porportion on me are my breasts.

chris how do you know women above 5ft 8 are ugly, have you seen every women in the whole world to ever exist above that height? Me and my sister are 6ft 1 and 5ft 11 and my sister is a model. So I don't think it's fair to generalize. chris says on 4/Dec/07

Chris, I have to disagree with you on this one. I'm female and 6.2 and 100% in proportion. Anonymous says on 3/Dec/07
I am 18 and about a skinny 6'1. my dad is a normal sized 6'1 and my mom is like 5'4. But I have like 3 uncles who are really big and tall 6'2 6'4 and 6'5. Do you think I will grow any more? or atleast fill out more? chris says on 2/Dec/07
It doesnt mean that you have an "ugly body" when youre above 5ft8.Its just that girls above that height are NOT pretty at all.See a woman's body is not "designed" to be that tall.And when it gets that tall it starts to get some really bad features.The proportions as a whole are beginning to fade away.So i do also think that 5'8+ girls look a bit freaky:) Anonymous says on 1/Dec/07
i'm not sure diet is the biggest deal breaker on height, i know a sikh kid who's whole family and extended family are tall, he's 6'7 and his dad is actually 6'10. they are staunch vegans, you know what that means? no milk or meat, explain that one to me! Anonymous says on 1/Dec/07

I'm wondering how much more you all think I will grow, if at all. I am a part-time model in my local area but I would like to do high fashion someday and I think I need to grow in order for this to happen. I am 16 and 5'7" even. My mom is 5'9.5" and dad is 5'11". I have a 20 year old brother who was 5'10" till 16 and is now 6'3.25", and an 18 year old sister who is 5'10.5", but she only gained 1 inch after 16.
Lol did you ever hear that song by flight of the conchords about opart time models haha classic stuff. BTW rob why aren't brett mckenzie and jermaine clement on this site anyway? they look tall, jermaine is like 6'1 and brett could be 6' or at very least 5'11 Anonymous says on 1/Dec/07

The comment from 'bruce willis' really made me laugh about his view that women over 5.8" get an 'ugly body structure'. [comment posted 2 October 07].

It depends on you, I was 6'0 when I was 14, but only grew to 6'4 by 24, whereas my uncle was 5'11 till he was 18 then grew to 6'2 by 24, so you could still grow them few inches Daniela says on 29/Nov/07
Im 14 and i have a 12year old friend and were both the same height 5'5"(167cm). Im worried that shes going to become taller than me. Her parents are the same height as my parents so i dont understand why shes soo tall for her age. I dont want her to become taller than me so does anyone have any idea i can avoid her from becoming taller than her? |
