Hi everybody,
I am a 171 cm tall male (a little over 5'7"). I am 25 year old. Do you think it is short for a man in Crotia and Netherlands?
How would i feel if I were in Crotia or Holland?
And how would be the people's perception about me? Would it be considered normal?
Waiting for your comments for both Netherlands and Crotia...
--Well I don't think you would feel much different than in your home country,I'm 6ft.1 and I consider myself average here,but there are also many people who range from 5.7-5.10

@shikoku Do you have proof of your statements, some links to academic papers perhaps? Dennis says on 30/May/08
Dave Grohl mentions his height as 6 foot 8 in a concert. dude says on 4/May/08
avg_or_short -you would definitely be short , in my class shortest male is 174 and we are always teasing him nate says on 26/Apr/08
sometimes i think it would be kinda cool to be that tall. does anyone agree? Charlie says on 13/Apr/08
Krist is 6 ft 7 1/2. Dave said in an interview Shikoku says on 10/Apr/08
@ dalmatia, i dont see how they got to those numbers the dutch aerage for young men is actually around 185.5-186.5 somewhere in that region under 18-20 year old men, those numbers are clearly incomplete and not done through the whole country, and also the tallest young men come from groningen and friesland (northern of the netherlands) who average on 188-190.and also the dinaric alphs is not a country nor are is in that study even said that they een did research in the netherlands only in the dinaric alphs..
@ average or short: in your agegroup you would average with most women your age so you would be considerd short Shikoku says on 10/Apr/08

@ avg_or_short: i live in the netherlands in amsterdam, and i am 1,82 i am considerd average or shortish so you definately will be considered short but dutch people don't really care that much for height like myself i never really noticed height difference untill my friends called me shorty. But i have some friends that are about your height and it's totally normal. avg_or_short says on 3/Apr/08

i never tought that dave was a dick, anyway... i never liked too much
a few weeks ago i've read that he said that "he was so important like kurt" gfab says on 22/Mar/08
shikoku, the comparison is not between Holland and Croatia, it concerns a certain large Balkan area (south Croatia, Montenegro and a part of Bosnia-Herzegovina). I understood from other in this list that in that area live the tallest people in Europe. I was skeptical, but as far as I could verified, I confirm that in southern Croatia male people average about 190cm. If you don't trust what you find in this list, please go to Split, or Sibenik, or Trogir (wonderful little town) and you'll get convinced. shikoku says on 17/Mar/08
Well, 6'2 is not more then low average in frysland-groningen the nrothern of the netherlands the aevrage 18 year old is there between 188-190, i myself am 15 and 186 cm tall here in the north i feel short next to 18 year olds but if i travel down all the way south to limburg i feel actually tall where the averaga would be 183-184 in amsterdam it would be around 185, i dont beleive all the serbia and montenegro extreme tallness claims, people tend to overestimate those guys a lot. beleive me i have been on holiday around the coast in croatia and the younger guys around their dont quite measure up w ith theyoung dutch guys. i see a lot of claims of 'yes we are taller than the dutch' but they all seem to lack evidence... gfab says on 11/Mar/08
Hi friends. Another short report. I was in the south of France last week-end. They are really short, over there (but my statistics is not so faithful: just one day and a half). Anyway, the difference with my last trip (south Croatia) seems impressive: is it possible that the difference between the two mentioned areas is 15cm, probably more: about 188-190cm are average south-Croats; about 171-173cm seem to be the south French people. Some French friend around, to confirm or rectify my statement? How is the height distribution in France, according to the various areas? All the best. Montenegro says on 9/Mar/08
Average height of Montenegrins is 6'2 (188cm) and we are the tallest nation on Earth :) mm says on 3/Mar/08
I can say, that croatians are really tall. I'm 185cm which is better than average in my country (czech republic), but in some parts of croatia I felt almost dwarfish.. there are realy lot of people over 190cm. Austrian says on 18/Feb/08
@moke: ahahahaha, youre a funny ****er
@michael: Charisteas is 191 cm, no more
@orjan betil: another useless comment :) Moke says on 17/Feb/08
In Switzerland the average height of young people is about 192cm. I`m 207cm. Michael says on 13/Feb/08
I'm Greek. I'm around 183 - 185cm an i don't consider myself tall at all. I wouldn't say the Greeks are a tall nation but i was extremely surprised to see how tall some of the players were in the National Greek soccer an BasketBall team. Charisteas apparently is 198cm tall, but then again he grew up in Germany most of his life so maybe the diet or region plays are role in height.
I know quite a few Yougoslav's an it's amazing how there entire race isn't uniformally tall. When i see people from Skopje they are I'd say pretty short, they hit 170's - 180's i reckon but as you raise the scale an go further North an look at the Northern region of Bosnia an certain sections of Serbia an Croatia, It's just scary an really amazing seeing such tall heights. Most i know are easily in the 190' an 2 meters +.
I think the region an diet of certain ethnic backgrounds play a major role on how tall they become as a nation. This has been evidenced by the Japanese an Indians. Once a very short race but now in our days i see some of them hitting 185 - 190.
What do you reckon? örjan bertill says on 4/Feb/08

many croatians around here eh? lol croatian dude says on 29/Nov/07
i am from north of croatia and there, people are shorter than on the south,i am 1.88 (6.2) my best friends are like-1.80,1.85,1.90,1.91 and 1.95
when i am in zadar ,split or šibenik i fell short there ,even old malas are 1.80-1.90 gfab says on 25/Nov/07
Evlekis, a question: did you go to Trebnje in Slovenja or Trebinje Bosnia-Herzegovina? they are spelled almost the same. If you went to Slovenia, then no contradiction with you being tallish there, since the "giant town" seems to be the Bosnian Trebinje. Anyway I tend to think as you: internet statitistics are not so precise, and as Glenn remarked the distinction based on countries seems rough. For instance here in Italy, if you go in the south, at 182cm you are tall, for sure. But in the north-east you'll feel short.
Best regards, friends. peli says on 24/Nov/07
krist is taller than charles barkley, thats for sure Evlekis says on 23/Nov/07
I've always been interested in this subject but sadly, I can only ascribe to original research (ie. the times I've taken notice). I was born in the UK, my parents are from the former Yugoslavia, and I stand at 1,82cm (a little over 5'11"). The Dinaric Alps male average I see is placed at 185.6cm, for Holland it rises at most to 1,84cm, as for the UK, it is about 180cm. This should make me above average here, however, I feel short; or more precisely, I permanently feel "just below male average" but it seems that 90% of the men are "that little bit" taller, they probably start from 1,87 here. I find the Dutch are permanently taller than I am, with every contact involving a Dutchman, I've been shorter. So how can the British average be 1,80 when barely 5% of brits are below 180? How can Dutch only be 1,84? As for Dinaric Alps, I've seen a few biggins but even there - I am taller than well over 70% of young men...as for old ones, I am sorry to say that I have never met a person over the age of 70 even the same height as me, and that is in the Dinaric regions, even Trebine which is so-called renouned. Can anyone explain why? Surely I cannot be "going out on the wrong day" gfab says on 10/Nov/07
Hi everyone. I have just returned from my (anticipated) Croatian tour (the coast). Had spare time and checked (above all, let me say, the girls :-) Now the height report. Well friends, my basis was near Zadar and moved southward and northward. In the North (Rijeka, for instance) my height (6'0 or 183cm) is above the average, there are a lot of short men. I'm still average in Zadar. From Sibenic southwards there is an incredible increase in height. Some of you knows why? I noticed the difference at a car fuel station in Sibenic. About 10 men, ALL of them a lot taller than me. From Sibenic to Split I found with great frequence guys much taller than me (sure around 190cm or above: 50% men are so in that area), and so Croat's statistics below in this list is absolutely confirmed by my experience. I speak with a 6'3 boy, and he told me that Montenegro people are even taller than in Split. It's difficult to trust him: if so, Montenegrins should average above 6'3, that's seem too much indeed. All in all, in the south of Croatia people seem to be taller than in Holland. Still a question remains: which is average height all over Croatia? In the North seems to be 180cm at the most. In the south I'd say about 190cm. That's just my experience of 7 croatian days.
All the best. Anonymous says on 25/Oct/07
My father's father side is from the mountains of Herzegovina. My dad is 6'0.5" and he is the shortest in all his family. His cousins are like 6'7"-6'8". In Belgrade you will see so many girls at 6'1" and guys over 6'5". boris says on 15/Oct/07
In former Yugoslavia, the endemic (original) region with extremely tall people is along the Dinaric Alps. However, due to massive migrations from this poor region to the coast (Dalmatia in Croatia), inner land (mainland Croatia and Serbia), one can't simply draw a line anymore. If one strolls down the streets of Belgrade, Zagreb or Split, he/she can easily see that people are very tall on average and there are many taller than 195cm... I grew up in Belgrade and with 179cm was the third shortest guy in the class among 19 men - I am below average, for sure. Remembering the aforementioned Croatia, they are very tall as well.
Montenegro (with its Montenegrins, Serbs and/or Montenegrin Serbs, whatever one feels like) is fully along the Dinaric "line" - thus their average height was at the Yugoslav top.
Finally, the improved living conditions (including the ever-popular team sports) in the Balkans have led to a very obvious increase in average height across the region. gfab says on 5/Oct/07
hey Glenn, really detailed statistics, in your message! Keep us informed. Thanks Croat, too, of course. Next December I should return in Split, and that time I'll pay particular attention on height, more than in the past. Then I'll drop some comments here. Have nice days, my friends :-) glenn2007 says on 29/Sep/07
yes,croats and especially montenegrins are among te tallest.it difficult to determine who are the tallest nation,for that we shoul measure the whole population of each mentioned countries and it isnt possible. the places with tallest poultion are former jugoslavia,scandinavia including iceland,holland,baltic states,some areas in czech republic and poland ,some villages in scotland and some african tribes in sudan and rwanda.
in my opinion norwegians are the tallest in scandinavia. as for baltic states -estonia posses some of the tallest population in the world,even taller than scandinavians,but as the result of mixture with significantly shorter russians and ukrainians their population became a bit shorter,same with latvians. lithuania has some of the talles men in planet and their avarage population is very tall,especially in city of kaunas. it is also one of the strongest and influential countries in world basketball,dispite being a country of just 3 milion people.giants like sabonis(2.20m) ,ilgauskas(2.18) and many others came out from there. they also poses some of the physically strongesst men in planet,and although their football team ranked 80th in the world the avarage height in their squard is about 186 which is tallest even then croatian and serbian soccer teams.virgilius alekna ,three times world cempion on disk trowing is more than 2 metrs tall.
in former jugoslav republic serbes and montenegrins are the talles followed by croats which look more europeanthen serbs,many of which have middaritanian appearance.slovenians are shortest and most maybe most fair population of former jugoslav republics,maybe of strong german influence.
some czechs and poles are also very tall but it depend on the area they live.for example in the border with ukraine live shortest poles,in the north where is the border with germany and lithuania population becomes taller. in croatia tallest people live in split,in holland in the north. icelanders are as tall as norrwegians,danish are the shortest in scandinavia.
romanians ,hungarians and some ukranians and russians are comperatively shorter then above mentioned nationalities. scotts are the taallest in britain,good and open hearted people. flamandic belgians are almost as tall as dutch but the french spaking population decreases there avarage. tallest spaniards living in the area near madrid and some ara in the north. tallest titalians are in the north where mixed german population is high.
friends ,it is the picture i have collected by travalling more then a decade across the eurobe Croat says on 28/Sep/07
Hey, I'm back. I have been researching human height, for some time, and I obviously know more than any of you. The tallest people in Europe are from the dinaric alps, go research it. Dinaric alps is basically Yugoslavia. They're a bit over 185cm, on average. Dalmatians, (From Dalmatia, Croatia. Croatia's biggest province.) are also 185cm. In some Croatian cities, such as Sibenik, Croats are 188cm on average.
Key words to remember: yugoslavia, croatia, serbia, montenegro, dinaric alps, etc.
Look at the Croatian tennisplayer: Ancic and Cilic 6'5'', Ivanisevic and Ljubicic 6'4'', and the tallest tennisplayer ever, Karlovic at 6'10''. In soccer, Zigic and Kalac are the tallest. Serb and Croat, 6'7''. In the NBA, Slavko Vranes is 7'6''. While Yugoslavia doesn't only have giants in the nba, we're all aware of the many Yugoslav centers that have played in the NBA. Croatia and Serbia are also the best countries in waterpolo and handball, and their players are known for being tall. The random Croat is tall, Visnjic 6'4'', Tesla 6'6''.
Etc. Etc. glenn2007 says on 26/Sep/07
important note friends!! you have almost forgot Lithuanians from Baltics,they are also among the tallest in the world and from my impression from visiting this small baltic country they are also extremely beautiful people. country of basketball gfab says on 17/Sep/07
... your objection is right. I was not precise, in my previous mail I wrote "I feel average" as synonimous of "I do not feel short", which is different. As to Croatia and Holland: I felt short in Split and in general in the south area, but not all over Croatia. On average, I'm not short in Croatia. But In Holland I felt short everywhere I went. Of course I speak just on my experience, I am not a height statistic office :-) bye Austrian says on 13/Sep/07
as far as i can tell Hungarians are pretty much average in height... neither tall nor short
im like 1/8 Hungarian myself actually henrih says on 12/Sep/07
are hungarians tall?they are much shorter then slavs though gfab says on 4/Sep/07
When you see on the web statistic on Croats height you see that they are 1.80 average. If in some area (Split, Dubrovnik) average is about 1.86, that does not mean that all over Croatia the average height is so. Dutch people are taller than Croats, since they are uniformly very tall, all over Holland. I am 1.83 and I feel average in my area and so I feel in Slovenija, Croatia, Hungary and Germany. Croatia have a lot of giants and a lot of short people. But some time ago I went to Holland and there is some difference there: I felt short, much more than 50% males were taller than me. shiko says on 18/Aug/07
15% of the dutch population is immigrant.. i have never been to croatia so i cant judge about that country. but the average height in northern of the netherlands is higher then in the south an average guy 18 years old would be 188-190 in the north while only 183-185 in the south that is the thing what compensates it not the immigrants because a lot of studys about height are measured on college students and the amount of immigrants in the netherlands who go to college is beneath 1% Austrian says on 12/Aug/07
see you just have no clue
"Croatians are nothing big" HAHA proof you cant know many croats
"ill believe what the data says" WHAT data? plz
dont you get it? there IS no reliable scientific data about the average height in different countries Matt Thomas says on 12/Aug/07
I never said it was proof that the dutch are the tallest in the world but something like that would never happen in england or the US. Croations are nothing big and ill believe what the data says. Call me ignorant or an idiot if you wish. :) Austrian says on 11/Aug/07
lmao how am i a fanboy?
most people here cant even stand Croats cause they come to Austria in loads as immigrants
i dont mind them, im just able to recognize the fact they are very tall by average (and since many of them live here, i can tell)
so your father went into a restaurant once and met 3 tall guys..... wow.. must mean dutch people are tall, definately, so this proves it all..... ahahaha
tard
PS ive been in Holland too, but im pretty sure you havent been to Germany, Austria, Croatia, or Norway - and even if you have, it doesnt really mean much Matt Thomas says on 10/Aug/07
Actually im from England currently residing in the us though im not a fanboy like you are trust me the dutch are giants... Ive been there and i remember in one resturaunt my father whos 6'4 was towered by atleast three guys 6'6-6'8 maybe that was a one time thing but still anyways its obvious your a croation fanboy whilst im unbiased I seem to remember also awhile back another croation said croat was full of crap S.J says on 5/Aug/07
does anyone know how tall his father mother and Brother are? S.J says on 4/Aug/07
yeah i saw somewhere on those statistics that Netherlands was the tallest ppl in the world but something with Alps was like 2 cm taller why arent they the tallest in the World i live in the netherlands and there are allot of tall young people here but not everyone is tall its just statistics and netherlands gets all the credit but there are tribes in africa were they look like they are 6foot10
And about the 15 million ppl Most of them are not Dutch its a Small country with a Big Population Austrian says on 29/Jul/07
statistics LOL
are you stupid? or didnt you read what i said?
statistics regarding average height dont really mean much since theres no worldwide standard for it or anything
so all statistics are very vague cause they are based on various very different regional measurment methods and other things
as i already said, in the Netherlands they only measured men around a certain age, which of course results in a different average height than when you measure men from all ages
do you understand this now or is it still too hard for you to get?
and as Croat already pointed out, Croatians are the tallest people in Europe
and hes right, thats basicly a fact
which again means dutch people cant be the tallest of the world, cause last time i checked they still lived in Europe
maybe youre just upset cause youre from Holland yourself?
and who knows, maybe Croatia wasnt included cause its just a small country with a few mio inhabitants, while theres around 15 mio people in the Netherlands
maybe in those 'statistics' they only counted nations with more than 10 mio inhabitants?
well so much for your statistics, maybe you realize now why all that stuff is pretty vague.... and if you still buy into it, sorry but then youre stupid... or lets say naive and narrow-minded :) Matt Thomas says on 28/Jul/07
Austrian the statistics say the dutch are the tallest in the world... and until you can prove otherwise good luck being believed Austrian says on 26/Jul/07
by the way Croat is right, the claim that dutch people are the tallest of the world is laughable
croatians and serbians are definately the tallest people in europe without competition, and i wouldnt even say they are followed by the dutch, that rumour only came up cause in the netherlands they only measured men around the age of 20-25, while in most other countries they measured men of all ages, which obviously results in a lower average
to me the 2nd tallest people in europe, after the yugoslavians, are the nordic (germanic) peoples of scandinavia, especially the norwegians
i dont think dutch people are any taller than germans or austrians by average Austrian says on 26/Jul/07

Steele is a dwarf compared to Novoselic......... WELL maybe not, but hes clearly shorter glenn says on 25/Jul/07
he is taller than steele by at least and inch or more. Anonymous says on 24/Jul/07
I'd say that he's around the 6'7 area. Although i'd say that he's no taller than peter steele, making Steele at least 6'7 to 6"8. bubbalu says on 11/Jul/07
I wouldn't be scared of him I think it's kind of cool to be the one people always look up to (pun intended) Viper says on 8/Jul/07
Id be scared seeing somebody like Calvin Lane. lillo thomas says on 7/Jul/07
why someone will be scared of very tall guys? the tallest guy i ever seen was at least 6-10 he could be 6-11 . he dont scared me but impress me , very tall guys looks impressive. some girls are scared of tall guys 6-4 and over for some reason but most tall guys that i know are nice guys like me . in my experience the trouble makers arent usually tall guys. usually are guys in the average and short side.

''dear God, he's a giant! I'd probably run the opposite way if I encountered a person his height. nothing personal, just plain scary.''
You haven't come across anyone that tall before? glenn says on 7/Jul/07
he was active 4 years ago. Markus says on 6/Jul/07
Hehe at 1.94m people could take me for a Croatian instead of Dutch then ;)
This picture also proves to me that Cobain surely wasn't under 1.70m, like many supposed that he was. Kurt didn't look any smaller next to Novoselic than Glenn does in this picture.
And I wonder if Krist is still active in music at this point ? Croat says on 6/Jul/07
Novoselic is 100% Croatian. Yugoslavia doesn't exist anymore. Croatia and Serbia were the 2 main republics of Yugoslavia. The tallest people in the world are not the Dutch. The people from the Dinaric Alps (Yugoslavia) are the tallest. 28% of males are 6'3'' and taller, and 1 in 40 is 6'7'' and taller. At 6'3'' I am just over the average height. Tons of references and sources points to Yugoslavs being the tallest. Tutsis from Rwanda, Africa are the tallest according to guinness, but this is really not proven. It is generally accepted that Yugoslavs, and this african tribe are the tallest, followed by the Dutch. Markus says on 6/Jul/07
Have to agree with Lillo Thomas, must be 2 metres or little over!
Is Novoselic of Yugoslavian ancestry ?
Eli, he may be tall, but he looks very friendly so that shouldn't be the reason of being scared! Danimal says on 14/Jun/07
I'd go so far as to say he is at least 6'7.5". eli says on 13/Jun/07
dear God, he's a giant! I'd probably run the opposite way if I encountered a person his height. nothing personal, just plain scary. lillo thomas says on 11/Jun/07
seeing the pic above again carefully Krist is really a legit 6'7
the difference between glenn and kris look exactly 11 inches . iam 6'5
and 5'8 is under my chin and glenn is only a bit taller than krisr shoulder.
HE IS A LEGIT 6'7 GUY OutBenchThis says on 22/May/07
Looks closer to 6'1" next to Glenn..lol. God he's tall!! Kev says on 29/Apr/07
Clay that is weird man.. i almost always get estimated at about 6'2.. which is odd considering im 6'5... Although it may may have something to do with the 275 or or so pounds that im carrying..... Arjun says on 28/Mar/07
Glenn said he had a footwear disadvantage that day. That said, I would say the difference is about 11.5" here, just under a foot. Look at the VERY top of Glenn's head - (that would be 1" or so above his hairline) it ain't that much below Krist's chin, I would say 1.5". Give Krist 10" for his head as he does have a big head (look at his head compared to Glenn's, who himself has a pretty average head for 5'8"), but no more than 10" as he's in a proud pose lifting his chin up. So 6'7 1/2" - remove the foot wear difference and we are right at 6'7".
What do you think, Glenn.
Cheers,
Arjun Markus says on 27/Mar/07
Got the same thing here with the height estimate. I'm 194 cm (about 6'4,25")
And people think I'm 2 metres exact....shorter people can't tell 6 cm difference for some reason. However, I really have to look up at someone who's 2 metres quite a lot. Bodytype can also lead people to make a very poor judge on height.
Anyway, an average head is about 9 inches, 10 tops long.
Krist - Glenn looks about 1 1/3 head difference is roughly 11 maybe 12 inches difference. Do the math...6'7" looks about right here ! Anonymous says on 21/Mar/07
this guy is an easy 6'7.5'', if i did not know better i would put him at 6'8''-6'8.5'' Viper says on 15/Feb/07
Clay, people really estimate you at 6-7 regulary? Thats insane. Im 6-3 and I never get estimated that high. Though I was estimated at 6-8 once from some chick who was below 5-0. cliff says on 14/Feb/07
6ft 7 is right definitely ! Clay says on 14/Feb/07
Yes, Chris is 6ft 7 definitely or more! Just put a ruler of 1 ft inches on top of Glenn's head and you'll see that measurement is right. i'm 6ft 3 (about 191cm) and it's true, people always estimate too high, 'cause they estimate me 6ft 7 (about 200 cm). S.J says on 10/Feb/07
He Looks a Little Bit Taller then Thurston Moore in ''1991:the Year Punk Broke'' and thurston Moore is about 6,6 or 6,5 Gonzalo says on 8/Feb/07
I totally agree with you Lillo and with Glenn that Novoselic looks 6`7 in the pic. But in that video with Charles Barkley, listed 6`6 with shoes on, Novoselic looks barely taller. That leaves a little bit mystified. Barkley doesn`t wear lifts so probably novoselic is 6`6 and Barkley one inch less. lillo thomas says on 7/Feb/07
if barckey look very close to krist in height in that video then maybe krist is closr to 6'6 than 6'7 but in the pic with glenn he look a legit 6'7 lillo thomas says on 7/Feb/07
i never seen the video so i cant compare and explain why they look similar in height according to you guys. Gonzalo says on 7/Feb/07
That may be true, lillo. But then tell me why they look so similar in height in that video.... S.J says on 27/Jan/07
you should look at the Video of Nirvana In Bloom it has a Footage of Kurt and Krist and the Drummer not Dave grohl all next to each other and Kurt is Like to Krist Shoulders isnt Kurt Like 5,9 or 5,10 so yeah i would say 6,7 is Good lillo thomas says on 24/Jan/07
barckey isnt't 6´6 .6'6 is his list height with shoes. he is between 6´4 and 6´5 Danimal says on 23/Jan/07
Does it look like Novoselic has only 8" on Glenn Ball-A-Hallic?? I think not. I can believe 6'7.5" Easily. As for Barkely, the guy is at least 6'5", if not the full 6'6". He downplays his own height, just like Rodman did. Ray says on 23/Jan/07
I read somewhere, he used to keep banging his head off the top of the doorframe in Kurt's house and it mentioned he was 6'7.5"....which I can well believe ! Ball-A-Hallic says on 16/Jan/07
barkely has said he is is 6'4 so that would make Novoselic like 6'4 Gonzalo says on 9/Jan/07
In the pic with Glenn, he looks 6`7, but in the video with Charles Barkley he looks one inch taller at the most. Barkley is closer to the camera but I doubt Novoselic would look more than two inches taller if both of them were at the same distance from the camera. If we weren´t talking about Barkley we would be using the word lifts Glenn says on 5/Jan/07
6-7.trust me.this I bet my life on. S.J says on 30/Dec/06
Well in the Video of Charles Barkley Krist looks also about 6,6 but he is standing behind charles barkley and is Defenitly 6,7 Gonzalo says on 19/Dec/06
Well, I`ve said this many times (in Kevin Nash`s and Mathew Modine`s page, for instance). Actors and musicians seem to shrink whenever I see them next to basketball players. Novoselic looks for sure 6`7 next to Glenn. And Charles Barkley was listed 6`6 with shoes on. Novoselic doesn´t look two inches taller. In fact he looks barely taller. Well, that is a mistery.
Everytime I see an actor or a musician next a basketball player I think about downgrading those artists Brad says on 8/Dec/06
He has a major slouch when he plays so one never realizes he is that tall. I always thought Nirvana's stage persona really sucked. They played to the floor. Mumbled a lot. Trashed out their gear in the end. What came out of the speakers was a different story. They just destroyed Los Angeles. All those Sunset Strip metal bands were a cartoon by '90. I remember Kurt mumbling about you people wanting to see Trixter and doing a side to side guitar thing with a retarded face. Priceless. Viper652 says on 8/Dec/06
an average of 6-0 1/2 is just as insane. Jake W. says on 7/Dec/06
I'd like to correct what some people below have written: there's no place in the world where 187 - 190 cm is average male height. The tallest people are the Dutch and they average about 184 cm. Brad says on 18/Nov/06
Yeah, I was shocked the first time I saw Nirvana. I didn't realize he was that tall. Krist told me Kurt was into crazy obscure 45rpms by anything that made noise.Funny!. I think he's lost a lot of hair recently. Glenn says on 12/Nov/06
Yeah,I agree,Penn is 6-5 tops. Brad says on 7/Nov/06
He's 6' 7". Beat me by 1" but I woulda beat him in boots, maybe down the road as I told him. Nice guy. Viper652 says on 30/Oct/06
Kuki, Im around 6-3 and people in america have estimated me as tall as 6-8 once, no joke. Usually 6-4 and sometimes 6-5 though. lillo thomas says on 19/Oct/06
looks 6'7 to me Emily says on 18/Oct/06
i think he could be taller than 6'7 but..hey Glenn's taller than me by 3 inches..so..yeah Austrian says on 23/Sep/06
hes just of croatian decent, all yugoslavians (croatians and serbians) are huge, most of them are 190cm or around that Matt says on 23/Aug/06
He's 6'7. He looks gigantic hear and next to Cobain as well. He is not 6'4 like someone said. He is definitely a wopping 6'7! Viper652 says on 5/Aug/06
He looks all of 6-7. Stevie G says on 5/Aug/06
This guy is huge. His head is in proportion with his huge body, so he probably has a very big head. If you for example would put his head on Glenns body it would look weird. Glenn says on 5/Aug/06
He is 6-7. Danimal says on 5/Aug/06
Okay, we have to be logical here. How long is the average head? Like 9" or so, right? Okay, so right there, he can't be less than 6'5". Now, Chris has a pretty long head compared to the average guy (just look at it), SO, I give at least 10", which puts him up to 6'6". WAIT, we're not done yet. Glenn is nowhere near the bottom of Chris's chin. There's another 3-4 inches. I do not see Chris at anything less than 6'8". Who ever said 6'4" to 6'5" clearly can't judge height. I think Viper will agree with me on this one. Anonymous says on 31/May/06
whoever says this guy look 6-5 has got to get there eyes checked he is CLEARLY 6-7 or more, c'mon now. D.J. says on 29/May/06
He has about a foot on Glenn. 6'7"-6'8". Viper652 says on 25/May/06
There is no way Krist is only 6-4-6-5 LOL. J-Dog says on 25/May/06
The top of Glenn's head only reaches his shoulder, that is how a 6'7" guy looks near a 5'8" guy, there is at the very least 11" inches basically almost a foot between them, this seems more evident, just compare Krist to pictures of Steven Seagal and David Hasslehoff near Glenn. J. says on 25/May/06
Actually ...no he wouldn't. That's how a 5'8" guy looks next to a 6'7" guy. 6'7" on the nose seems pretty accurate compared to the picture above. Anthony says on 24/May/06
He looks only 6'4 - 6'5. If he was 6'7, Glenn would barely appear in the picture, especially since it was shot fairly close. I find it hard to believe that he's a full 6'7. I'd buy 6'5 1 /2. If he was 6'7, Glenn would probably have to stand on his tiptoes so he can appear more clearly in the frame, like he did in his picture with 6'8 1/2 Brad Garrett. Glenn says on 27/Apr/06
Hard to say.Krist Id say, wins. Gonzalo says on 24/Mar/06
He looks taller than 6`7. The biggest guy next to our idol Glenn ice says on 15/Feb/06
Oh hell no! i can't believe that man is trying to claim 6'7. he looks more than that. At first glance, with me not paying attention and glenn's hair down, I thought that was some tall guy and his date. CelebHeights Editor says on 11/Feb/06
Another taller bassist:
Adema's, Dave DeRoo has said: "I'm like 6' 9" chris says on 9/Feb/06
I dunno Ive heard anything from 6'4" to 6'9" I'd guess hes about 6'6" 6\' and 18 says on 6/Feb/06
6' 8" is my estimate based on what has been said so far and what I thought of the pic. Glenn is standing marginally less straighter than him and his footwear was quite flat...but the difference is huge and 6' 8" seems about right to me. Sakanna says on 2/Feb/06
No wonder he made Dave Grohl (who's 6') look short--Let alone Kurt Cobain (5'8").... this is to solve it all says on 1/Feb/06
if i hadn't known any better i'd say hes a good 6'10'' from this picture, solely because if you were to put a ruler on Glen's head it still seems novoselic would surpass it by a number of inches. Marc says on 29/Jan/06
I have a cousing who is about 4'11". When she stands next to me,(I'm 5'10") she comes up to about my shoulder. Glenn and Krist are about propotionate to me and my cousin, since I'm 11 inches taller than my cousin, and Krist is 11 inches taller than Glenn. Glenn says on 29/Jan/06
my long hair is always in a pony tail slicked back now.pain in the neck to let it loose.to frizzy.his footwear was normal.mine was dreadful black reebooks that always made me look as short as possible. Jason says on 28/Jan/06
6'7'' looks right. Jon Smith says on 28/Jan/06
this is right hes 6'7 if you ever seen nirvana play he dominates cobain by almost a foot if not a foot Danimal says on 28/Jan/06
He looks taller than 6'7". 175cm16andgrowing says on 28/Jan/06
yes... I look nearly the same next to a &'7 guy so the guy is really that tall. but glenn has to tell us what footwear the guy wore and from when the pic is. I don't know if I get it right but Glenn, you first had long hair and now you have short hair, right? So this is an older pic? Or do you sport long hair again? |
