What is the length of a female's head? 8, 8.5 inches? And also the typical distances from chin to mouth, mouth to eyelevel, and eyes to top of head for females?
[Editor Rob: for ease...I go with 9.5 inches, 4.5 to eyes, 3 to mouth and just about 2 to under chin.
but from my own observation I think 9.25 might be closer, with females a bit less on average]

Just seen pics of Andy Murray and Andy Roddick and Murray is 0.5-1 inch taller MAX. I'd estimate Roddick at 188cm and Murray at 190cm. Murray is certainly a weak 6'3" likely 6'2.75". Anonymous says on 3/Jul/09
Rob, is the evening height more accurate to say...is 6 pm in the evening low enough? How come you claim evening height? You look 5 feet 8.5 about? This whole shrinking thing at times is crazy but I do notice first hand how in the morning you are taller lol!
[Editor Rob: from afternoon to bedtime you're not going to shrink much in height compared to say 'out of bed' till mid-day height.] miko says on 3/Jul/09
Rob I take it you won't be putting "Scotsman" Andy Murray up now then!

12-1PM classifies as lunchtime. Say you have 2 people who measure themselves at 1PM and say one has been up since 7AM but the other has been up since 9AM it will make a slight difference. It does come into play a bit. Lenad says on 3/Jul/09

[Editor Rob: If you went with a lunch measurement you will be ok.] J.J. says on 2/Jul/09
'Rob' from my observation loose posture is never as much as an inch loss. The maximum I got is 0.625" but 0.5" is more normal. And I think the extreme could be 0.75" nothing more. What's your observation?
[Editor Rob: you can alter your spine on purpose and drop an inch...but not many do that as their looser stance.
a looser stance might be pushing one hip out aswell. But from my own observation/measurement of people, most I know don't drop anywhere near 1/2 inch let alone 1 inch from normal stance to measured stance...] ER. says on 2/Jul/09
I'm in the 6-2 range and I have a co-worker who's 6-4 and I don't feel "dwarfed" at all by him. I don't think I've ever felt dwarfed by a chick, I have come across girls who've been taller than me though, like 6-3 or 6-4, but that's very, very rare. Like maybe once or twice. I did feel dwarfed last saturday at a pub though, when a 6-9 basketballer who plays for the local team walked in, lol. If you live in a city of a certain size and population, sooner or later you are gonna come across people who are in the extremely tall-range, girls and dudes, even though their height is rare and they belong to a extremley low percentage of the general population.

Rob, just wondered if you had chance to look at the height of Will Sampson as I mentioned in a post yesterday?
[Editor Rob: I still ain't sure, 6ft 4-7 descriptions is a big range!] James says on 2/Jul/09
Yeah maybe a solid 5'11 at peak. 5 foot 8 says on 2/Jul/09
Hey Rob, I'm 5'9" (175.2-175.5cm) in the morning, and rare times I've been 176cm, my afternoon height is 174cm (5'8.5" and my night height is 173.5-173cm (5'8.25"-5'8.1") My doctor measured me with his stadiometer at abou 6p.m as 174cm, the army measured me at 174cm, and the b.m.i machines also give me 174cm. So am I'm lowering myself sayng 5 foot 8? Should I say 5 foot 8and a half? Wich is more my "actual" height?
[Editor Rob: I think saying 5ft 8 and half is ok.] Lmeister says on 2/Jul/09
I think Alex Ferguson was around 5ft11 or tad more during his prime. Nowadays a tad over 5ft10. J.J. says on 1/Jul/09
'Rob' have you noticed the the black guy(works for the prime minister: always at those scenes) in Little Britain? he looks 6'5"
what do you think? James says on 1/Jul/09
Rob I know you are a football fan so I would really appreciate if you would answer this question of mine.
I was looking through a biography of Alex Furguson and in old pictures of him when he was in his 20's he looked like quite a tall guy like 6ft. Nowadays he looks in the 5'10 range but would you not rule out maybe a peak of 6ft for him? Cheers.
[Editor Rob: I think 5ft 11, but I don't know what he was listed playing days.] Chris says on 1/Jul/09
Rob, can you look at the height of Will Sampson on this site please! You have him listed at 6'5" butcheck out 'William Sampson' on the website 'Encyclopedia of Oklahoma History and Culture and you will see that he is listed at 6'4". Also he looked this height in many of his films putting aside Cuckoo's nest where he was made to look taller, and a good friend of his called Nick who's commented on his height said himself that he was 6'4" and he and Will stood eye to eye. 6'5" probably in shoes. Great site by the way! Daniel says on 1/Jul/09
Exactly, Roger. One of the worst things about being short, for example 5'6'' or 1.68m (like myself) is that many women are taller than you -some of them even not wearing heels! Ha ha ha. Metric says on 1/Jul/09

Standing 6'2'', chances are slim you'll get dwarfed - the exception being if "dwarfed" is defined by anyone as somebody having 2 or 3 inches on you.
As a 5'7'' - 5'9'' guy, you will feel damn short sometimes. Everything below 5'7'' is bad as it gets likely many women are, in heels at least, taller than you. Doug says on 1/Jul/09
You'll see guys 6'0-6'2" quite regularly but there really isn't many men walking about legit taller than this, maybe I live in a short part of the country but there is not an abundance of 6'3+ men walking about period compared to average. Doug says on 1/Jul/09
Really Jim? In denial about what? That I live in the real world and know that a legit 6'1" or 6'2" is clearly above average and not likely to be dwarfed by many people? That I know that when I was 15 not many guys were even 6' let alone over? Because I state that not many women are above 5'10" ; let alone 6'? Look at the difference between 6'2" and 6'6" on a height chart. 4 inches is not "dwarfing" somebody and how many men do you see that are 6'6" or over?. In Jim's world every guy is at least 6'4" and millions of women tower over him abovr 6'1!. Anybody in the UK go into your nearest supermarket and now try convincing me that there are lot of 6'6" guys and 6'2" women walking about. You'll see the odd guy over 6' but MOST people men and women are not even 6' flat, seriously. You're the one in denial because you should never feel particularly short at 6'1" compared to most. Roger Federer is 6'1" and the only time I've seen him dwarfed by a fellow player is in todays match against 6'10" Evo Karlovic. 177cmmm says on 1/Jul/09

Everyone, there's something called the tall person's club. Around the whole entire world the requirements are exactly the same : a full 190cm Barefeet for men(74.81inces/6'2.81") and women should be a full 180cm barefeet .this requirements is exactly the same in Holland. So people should stop all that rubbish. 6'1" is tall & will always be. It's not just above average ;which is exactly 5'9.5" not even 5'10". Tallish / above average is 5'11"-6'0.5"(very common). Real tall is 6'1"-6'2.5"(quite common tall range)- anything from the 90%tile is tall! Doug says on 30/Jun/09
Only 6'6" + people have a "dwarfing" effect on a legit 6'1"-6'2" guy. Doug says on 30/Jun/09
If you are a legit 6'1" who should never feel dwarfed by anybody. Very few girls are over 5'10" barefoot let alone 6'. In heels a 5'10" chick will be around your height so to say there are lots of girls way taller than 6'1" is impossible!!! A chick taller than legit 6'1" is equivalent to a guy over 6'6". Extremely rare. Doug says on 30/Jun/09
Exactly JAK. I was only 5'9" at 15 or 16 and I was still on the tall side, the tallest guys were generally 5'112 or 6'. I had my last growth spurt at aged 17-early 18 and within a short period of time I had grown to 6'1". I grew another inch at 21 very slowly! and stopped growing at 21 (in height amyway!) peteyork says on 30/Jun/09
5'8 to 5'11 is average in the uk, holland 6ft for youngsters, northern europe 5'9 to 6ft. I am talking flat heights, so if you are 5'11 1/2 in the uk you are above average. Generally 25% percentile is 5'7 1/2 to 75% percentile 5'11 1/2 in the uk from guys under 25. They will loose a 1/2 time they are 50 through getting fat. If we all got real fat it would be an inch. Then they start to shrink properly. xtreme says on 30/Jun/09
on topic of 6 1 getting dwarfed alot, I dont know where Jim is from (mayb he's from holland ) but from what i can tell from my own experience(when i was a 6 1 , now i am full 6 3) I think 6 1 is a pretty solid above average height here in the uk, some may even consider it tall, but anyway when i was 6 1 i didnt come across many girls who were same height as me , let alone taller than me.. as i have mentioned in my other post, girl's barefoot 6 foot or over are very rare in UK, most "tall" girls are in 171 - 178 cm range, when a 178 cm girl wears 4 inches heel she appears about 6 2, so it is possible that jim did not notice that girl's he saw were actually wearing really high heels and were not actually taller than him?... I am by no means suggesting that Jim is not a legit 6 1 but i don't think that u get towered by girl's that much if u are a legit 6 1, in shoes you are 6 2 or 6 2.x(depands on the type of shoe u are wearing) and that's pretty tall and taller than 98 / 99 percent of girls.. and as for getting dwarfed by men, i would say that sometimes u get optical illusion that u are really shorter than someone when u r are only slightly shorter than them, also sometimes people u think are same height as u , it turns out that they are actually 1 inch shorter than u or people u think are taller than u and it turns out that they are same height as u... when i was a young 5 10 boy , i had a teacher a who was a 6 4 men and i used to think that he was 6 7 or 6 8 men because i often got impression that i was barely over his shoulder, when in reality he was a legit barefoot 6 4 men with lanky physique and he was only 6 inches taller than me then.. JAK says on 30/Jun/09
Average height at 16 is certainly NOT 5"11. In my school at 15 or 16 the tallest guys were 5'11" or 6' with only several 6'3", 6'5" etc. At 15 or 16 I was 5'9" and was still a little above average. I think average height for 16-24 year olds is more 5'10" legit today.
-------------
I just posted this in the general height section, but I was 5'10 when I was 16 and I was one of the tallest people in my class. This was two years ago. People seem to think the younger generation are giants. The truth is that there are just as much short young people as there are tall. And that is why the average is still 5'9.5" Doug says on 30/Jun/09

Jim says on 30/Jun/09 "Anyway 6-1 is nothing unusual at all. I see loads and loads of guys that absolutely dwarf me. And there are many girls that are taller than me also". Are you living in supertall land or something? There are a few guys who will make 6'1" seme average certainly but "many girls taller than 6'1" is absurd. There are extremely few women who are legit over 6' and not exactly millions upon millions of men over 6'2" either. Are you really a legit 6'1" because it is pretty decent height and you should feel a good height compared to most. I'm a little taller and don't even get dwarfed by 6'5" guys although I feel shorter than normal next to them. Given that there ar enot exactly many men walking about who are 6'5" I never really feel "dwarfed" by anybody. The odd 6'5"-6'7" guy who comes along yes I don't feel particularly tall but certainly don't feel "dwarfed". Lenad says on 30/Jun/09

Alex
I'm right around your height I can't pin my height down as well as most because my back is crooked but I'm like 6-1 and can be taller if having a good back day.
Anyway 6-1 is nothing unusual at all. I see loads and loads of guys that absolutely dwarf me. And there are many girls that are taller than me also.
I always considered 6-4 tall and 6-3 because I can't tell the difference really but 6-0 6-1 6-2 does not really stand out...I agree!
Also Alex I looked at your picture and probably 98% of all guys your height say they are 6-2! 177cmmm says on 30/Jun/09

Hey guys,
I don't know if you knew this but pilates can actually add a bit to your height. I'm not talking about 3 or 4 inches but maybe an inch or two if you really do it well. Through the exercise, you put more space between each vertebrae in your spine, which ends up elongating your spine a bit. The trainer I am working with said her son gained about an inch from it after he was 19 for basketball. When I first heard about this, I thought it was nonsense, but after talking to a lot of people who knew something about it, I cam to the conclusion that it is actually true. Thought I'd share that with you. J.J. says on 29/Jun/09
People! I look at heights on a general level putting everyone into consideration. Now my reasons:
a 6'7" man would tower over a 6'1" man & think he is short(from his point of view) which is very stupid.
A 6'10" man would also think 6'4" is short.
It all doesn't Make sense cos if you are 6'8" it doesn't mean 6'2" is short. It's not most people on here look at things from their point of view & cone across as bias.
Cos at the end if you're 6'3" & think 5'11" is short then a 6'7" person should also think you're short.
The only way you'll allowed to call someone short is when a 6'5" guy realises that everyone else is 6'5" : which is not the case anyway, is when you can call a 6'0" person short.
I believe everyday tall people around most parts if western world us significantly in the 6'1"-6'2.5" range. Then from 6'3"-6'4.5" you see a couple guys at this range(exception for Holland where more people will be at this range). When it gets to 6'5"-6'6.5" there'll be a small number of people & you could even see a LEGIT 6'5" BAREFEET & over once in a week or even a month unless wrestling or NBA, 6'7" barefeet is just rare. Average door in Europe is 6'5.5" as well as holland. But in U.S it's about 6'7". 6'4.2" is then 99%tile so everyone can figure out my point. James says on 29/Jun/09
Alex even at 6'3.5 you can stand out as well. Someone told me that 6'1 is where you stand out as being tall but I don't really think thats true depending on if you are in a very large crowd or not. miko says on 29/Jun/09
Bohm,
Yeah your Canadian... last time I checked that wasn't the UK.
UK Average for 16-24 year olds is around 5"11 nowadays, it will be 6"0 in a few years. Of course there are short guys, but a lot of huge ones too.
I know plenty of guys from my old school year that are over 6"4, my best friend is 6"9 - natural growth from a 5"10 father and 5"7 mother.
Lots of my friends are around my height of 6"0 and quite a few in the 5"10 range too. Of course a few are 5"6 or so.
Whenever I go into the town I always see 10-15 guys who are 6"7+. I always see a few women over 6"0 aswell.
The world is getting taller, or at least where I live is. uk guy says on 29/Jun/09
rob what do u think the average here is in the uk because people look like there getting bigger.
[Editor Rob: it's still 5ft 9-10 range.] xtreme says on 29/Jun/09
Paul I have a question : Have u ever been to Bellahouston park(close to Ibrox stadium) and paisley road west?
[Editor Rob: yes I've been down that road a number of times. Last time I was in bellahouston was as a kid though.] RisingForce says on 29/Jun/09
I'm 5'8" and I feel pretty average here in the US. On average most guys are maybe a couple of inches taller than me, but I know a decent amount of guys shorter than me or my height. xtreme says on 29/Jun/09
on topic of standing out, I a m full 6 3 now and with my nike air max tailwind 2009 trainers, i do feel pretty tall here in uk , so i do think that i stand out in crowd but i still think that people who are bit more taller than me ( who are like close to 6 5 if not full 6 5) do look pretty tall and they do stand out and people who are legit 6 5 barefoot or over are offcourse very tall and they stand out pretty much all the time(unless they are in a basketball court). Bohm says on 29/Jun/09
@Miko
Sounds like bull, i'm Canadian and most guys my age are 5'10 or so. I'm nearly 18. Alex says on 29/Jun/09
Clay, I agree. 6'4 and up is when you stand out in a crowd. 6'2 is tall and I've seen many 6'2 guys in crowds and they dont stand out. Metric says on 29/Jun/09
Rob - what do you bench??
[Editor Rob: I don't bother with weights.] miko says on 29/Jun/09
I'm 19 and 6"0, so I'm near enough done with growing now, although I'd love another couple of inches of height.
It's worrying that I'm looking up to an awful lot of people my age and younger. There are a LOT of 6"2 16 year olds out there now.
6"0 is very average nowadays, especially in the UK. Clay says on 28/Jun/09
6'2'' is tall, not standout tall. Standout tall is 6'4+ IMO. James says on 28/Jun/09
Well in some ways that is probably why is 6'0 is considerd as the perfect blendible height becuase its a tall height but it will not make you stand out too much. aram x says on 28/Jun/09
It also depends on the person's proportions. As some us have already discussed here, a thin person with high shoulders, short torso, and long-limbed will look taller than a low-shouldered, long-torso, and short-limbed person of the same height. peteyork says on 28/Jun/09
Alex I agree, I think people do not get how tall 5'10 is, a 5'10 1/2 guy would have the same difference in height with you as Rob has with Glenn. Tall guys think I am 5'11, when I am in fact 5'10 3/4, with shoes and hair in a line up I would be 6ft and 1/2. So you do not need to wear lifts to hit 6ft in shoes if you are 5'10, if you have a little hair. If you look on the harrison ford page there is a shot from the fugative where ford's pupils are level with 5'8. Thats within 1/4 inch where my pupils are if i am in shoes. So assuming ford is without shoes he will be your height these days, or mine if he is in shoes for his mugshot. I think Doug has a point about hollywood, all UK actors instantly get listed inch taller once they hit LA. I had Brad about an inch under a slouching schimmer who i think is 6ft. Got the same difference in Kalifoina movie with the x files guy. Which would put Pitt as a strong 5'11, in boots. Also Pitt always looks the same height as Sean Bean, who is down here at 5'10 1/2. Originally he was listed at 5'10, he was a bit of a child star I think so perhaps a pretty early height listing. So 5'10 to 5'11 for Brad for me. Closer to 5'11 than the 5'10 mark though Alex says on 28/Jun/09
Doug, I've seen guys 5'10 considered tall but some people. It comes down to who you are compared to. Doug says on 28/Jun/09
"Seriously tall" in my view starts at 6'4". Genuine "tall" is 6'0 -6'4". I'm a tad over 6'2" out of bed and 6'1.75" during much of the day and I'm tall but I also wouldn't consider myself "seriously tall". I think perspective varies from how tall you are. 6' flat would seem really tall to a lot of shorter guys but when you are that height or over it doesn't seem particularly tall to yourself. uk guy says on 28/Jun/09
Alex i agree 6'0 does not stand out anymore 6'1 is where tall starts and 6'2 is when i think your stand out flash_of_eden says on 27/Jun/09
Alex- You are 6' right? That's still pretty tall. But I do know how you feel. I never feel particularly tall; I think it just kinda boils down to being used to your height so you don't really think much of it. J.J. says on 27/Jun/09
'Alex' do you feel like if you were 185cm/6'1" you'll consider yourself proper tall?
My experience is that I felt tall even when I was 5'10.7" at late 16years early 17years but am just about to turn 18yrs & I gone from 184.6cm to 186.8cm as at now. & I've noticed that am actually feeling above average than rather tall; just like how you feel. I told mum about it & all she said was that maybe I should stop wishing to get to 190cm & see myself for whatever I am now; whether I stay the same or grow taller. I've been out today & after taking her advise starting to realise that am alot taller than older people around 40plus & almost much taller taller than people aged 18 - 30. Even though I see people my size, they come across once a while.
If you've ever had a dream height; then I might be the reason why you don't consider tall.
But my mum who is exactly 177.4cm/very close to 5'10" thinks if a male hits 1.8m they are in the tall world & will never be short, because she notice that some young people are still as small as 5'7". James says on 27/Jun/09
Yeah I agree Alex, I heard people say that if you are 6'0 or even 6'1 your not considered seriously tall.6'2 though is probably getting there in terms of being seriously tall. Parker says on 27/Jun/09
He does Doug - I definately think he's closer to 6'9 than 6'7 from that pic, and every other pic I've seen with his girlfriend.I'll post another on the Crouch page. peteyork says on 27/Jun/09
Rob any chance of adding a few british greats, like john Mills, Anthony Quayle and harry Andrews etc? Doug says on 27/Jun/09
Yeah parker you have a point. If the gorgeous Abbie took off those wedges she'd look about a foot shorter. I see about a 9-10 inch difference even in those wedges. If she is a legit 5'9" barefoot she must be around 6' in them so that makes Peter 6'9-6'10". Must admit he looks more like 6'9" in that pic, don't you think Parker? Dylan says on 27/Jun/09
Rob I have a question. Are you familiar with those height/weight bodymass calculation machines they have in alot of the supermarkets now? Well I don't know if you have ever tried them but they make seem to make you shorter than your proper height. Just to confirm this I went on one at the local Tesco supermarket and was shorter than I usually am. When I returned home I measured myself on my stadiometer which is the same as yours and is on flat tiles in the bathroom and I measured 3/4" taller. Is there any explanation for this I wonder?
[Editor Rob: a laser measurer is really just a rough guide, always go with a stadiometer over something like the tesco machine!] Doug says on 27/Jun/09
Alex, indeed you are tall, as in shoes you must look 6'1"-6'2" but not particularly tall. Yeah I never feel short either, I'm only about 1.5 inch taller than you but when I'm stood next to 6'5"-6'7" skinny guys I do feel rather less lofty and more of a stocky beefcake! Guys in this range in general make me feel stocky rather than tall but I can hold my ground next to these sorts of heights without feeling "short" as such but 6'5" plus guys are extremely tall. Tallest guy I've met was an ex Welsh rugby international Derwyn Jones who is 6'10" and he differs greatly from a high number of 6'4" plus guys in that he is well built and not a beanpole. Huge man. Reminds me a bit of Scott L. Schwarz. He's one of the few men I've ever felt particularly intimidated by. uk guy says on 27/Jun/09
Alex i tend to agree with u there im 177cm and 15 and taller than most people my age i dont tower but i feel short around four of my mates who are 6'1 but normaly on most boys my age i have a gud three inches on them people call me above average bet never tall Doug says on 27/Jun/09
Parker, see my posts on Crouch's page. He is a strong 6'7" barefoot, probably 202-203 out of bed thats why he appears as 6'8-6'9" in photos because he is in shoes!!! Stand against a height chart or measuring tape barefoot and look up at the 6'7" mark. A legit 6'7" barefoot will appear the way this guy does. Off the chart of normal medical boundaries. It is easy to get carried away with guys who are in the 6'4 + range. A lot of supertall guys can give an even taller impression, its not as easy to judge for the higher range, right Alex? Also the fact Crouch is rake thin adds to the taller illusion. Bottom line is he towers above big 6'3"/6'4" defenders and is a human lampost. J.J. says on 27/Jun/09
'Rob' do you think Adam Lambert could be 6'0.75" cos he looked like he is nearly towering Ryan. I do buy 5'6" for Kris Allen but Adam L. Looks 6'1" or close to it.(if not sure the lowest I'll give him is about 6'0.625")
'Rob' do you agree? Alex says on 27/Jun/09
I'll never really feel short but I will feel shorter next to guys 6'5 plus. I actually dont even consider myself a tall guy. Above average but not truly tall. Well around shorter guys I will feel tall but if I around very large groupe of people like at a concert, in a stadium for a sporting event, etc I will only feel above average since you'll have so many people there from very short to very tall. Parker says on 27/Jun/09
Think this picture from the morning papers shows how difficult is to judge height with a wide discrepancy. Peter Crouch's girlfriend claims 5'9, in these shoes she therefore must hit 6'

I certainly wouldn't guess Peter Crouch as low as 6'7 from this picture the shredder says on 27/Jun/09
Rob , what would you add Danny Gokey " the guy with glasses " ? oh , YOU CAN DO Kris and IF Danny , lol ! the shredder says on 27/Jun/09
Rob , if you do add Kris Allen , what are you going to put him at ?
[Editor Rob: if, I'd probably 5ft 6 him.] Santos says on 26/Jun/09
Mathew says on 24/Jun/09
Laura says on 23/Jun/09
As a guy what would you rather be?
1. 5'6 or 6'6
2. 5'9 or 6'5
Uh for women,the former, for men, the latter.
5'6" like Stephanie Kramer, or 6'6" like Fred Dryer. From Hunter! Barry Langcaster says on 26/Jun/09
Rob you do apear within the 5'8-5'8.75 height range from all the pictures I have seen, and at times you can seem 5'9 or 5'9.25, I think your description of your morning , mid day and lowest height seem right on target. Keep up the good work Rob this is a great, fascinating and highly entertaining web site. ZAQ says on 26/Jun/09

'Rob' the doctor said if any magic was going to happen about only 5% of people will grow after 19 years & that's going to be 1.5" max(even though it's quite rare he said ). He said although 21 is the 'Official' age people nowadays stop around 17-19 on average & the extreme sides are 14 for boys & 12 for girls(he's met this girl 12 years old 6'0.8" and never grew she's now 16 her parents were worried at that time & also a 6'3.875" boy of 14.5 years who is now 18.5 & still the same)
the reality of the situation is that he said I'll be lucky if I grow over an inch; even though you never know.
'rob' it's really surprising the things he said, by the way my Sister 4 example was 5'9.5" @ 14years I think. He also said once you reach you full potential you just stop! Whether it be as early as 14 or as late as 20years. And if you don't reach your full potetial it will be within 5-10cm & nothing more
That sounds about right
Me im 5'7 1/4 at 18 i think i will hit 5'8 by 20 Brad says on 26/Jun/09
We know why he never came by for the third, the car was returned and he had "mourning" height eliminated. James says on 26/Jun/09
rob could you maybe think of a reason why glenn would have missed the third meeting with you and jenny?
[Editor Rob: we were talking on the phone and he was saying he had met some girl and got talking to her and he may come by for a 3rd meeting but I don't know why he didn't make it.] derek d says on 26/Jun/09
Rob in the pictures with yourself, Glenn and Jenny, I'm guessing they were taken with you guys in socks and not in shoes? I'm just curious why those pictures aren't full body shots like the meeting you had with Alex.
[Editor Rob: the 3rd meeting I would have taken more shots as I told glenn I'd like to do some shots in the lobby like with alex, but there was no 3rd meeting...] flash_of_eden says on 26/Jun/09
Does anyone know how tall Mitch Hedberg was? the shredder says on 26/Jun/09
Rob , why do you ignore Kris Allen , how tall do you think he is ?
[Editor Rob: I think 5ft 6 is better than his 5ft 7 claim.] 177cmmm says on 26/Jun/09
Hey Rob when i said i had grown 4 cms i meant it but i think it comes from stretching not actually growing. I found that during the day i shrink really quikly After 2 hours of being up i drop down 2 cms but when i started stretching after a few days i found out my morning height was my night height and after about 3 weeks of it i noticed that i had also added an extra couple of cms. I know people say stretching dosnt work but it does. From 177cm my evening height it is now 182cms. I stretch for 30 to 45 minutes every night before bed and sleep on my back now. I also hang for 5 minutes prior to stretching unless im to sore from working out before hand. ZAQ says on 25/Jun/09
Rob
how accurate are you on this site ??? like dead on or off by 1/2 an inch
In a few places i see you are off by ONE whole inch, and i know this cause i met the person
[Editor Rob: everybody can estimate or guess on here, only if you measured a celebrity can you prove a height.] J.J. says on 25/Jun/09

rob 5'9 is very average im that and i never feel that short. Clay says on 25/Jun/09
Viper was 'banned' Leung but we're still putting up with his crap, a lot of his posts are getting through. Rob is there any way we can send the secret service to Viper's house and have him anialated? Lol just kidding. Its actually kinda funny.
I realize im around average at 5'9 that doesnt change the fact I feel dwarfed by a lot of guy that are 6'3-6'5. I even feel short next to someone who is 6'0-6'1 though the height difference isnt too great. James says on 25/Jun/09
5'9 is average and so is 5'10 probably. Dural says on 25/Jun/09
Hey J.J., most people who call 5'9" short don't know their actual height and can't tell apart if someone's 5'9" or 6'. J.J. says on 25/Jun/09
'Rob' can you say something about 5'9" it's crazy because people think it's short. Anyone under 5'7" is when you're totally short I think. I wouldn't complain about anything if I was 5'7" I'll just love because at least I know that there will girls shorter than me. Because the average height for girls are 5'4.25" & for men it's actually 5'9.5" so 5'9" is by no standard short. The Only people allowed to say it's short is 6'3"er cos they'll be 6" taller & that's towering.
[Editor Rob: 5ft 9 is very average indeed.] James says on 25/Jun/09
5'9 is not bad at all. Its just not that tall and if your 5'9 you shoulden't really struggle in the dating world. Roger says on 25/Jun/09
Oh, I'm surprised, Rob, you look scrawnier on most photos. I would have thought 148 in the morning. tommy says on 25/Jun/09
i'm 5'9 and feel good even though i wouldn't mind being a little taller Tommy says on 25/Jun/09
Rob, after reading some comments on the Glenn-page about standing fully stretched out or not so fully when measured, I have to ask this: How much is the difference between your usual posture during measurements and your absolute maximum posture?
[Editor Rob: that's going to vary amongst people. Some people naturally stand near what they'd measure 'standing tallest' whilst others might stand looser.] Alex says on 25/Jun/09
Clay, 5'9 isn't bad though I wouldn't wanna be that height. Now I feel bad for those guys who are under 5'6. Now thats very short for men. Roger says on 25/Jun/09
Rob, how much do you weigh in at?
[Editor Rob: let me hop on the scales...158lbs] the shredder says on 25/Jun/09
Rob , alot of users are asking to add Kris Allen , how tall do you think he is ? Leung says on 24/Jun/09
Hahaha Mathew, yeah in terms of quantity Viper was right up there. But in terms of quality he was one of the worst, the guy was clueless about height estimates.
Personally I had no issues with Viper and him posting but towards the end it seemed as though he was just taking the mickey J.J. says on 24/Jun/09
'Rob' I've noticed Taylor Swift's been brought down to 5'10" good job on that one. I wanted to say something but you wouldn't have listened. She really didn't look 5'11" Clay says on 24/Jun/09
I hate being 5'9'', but it could be worse...I could be 5'6''. Brad says on 24/Jun/09
Hey Laura, Don Johnson at 5' 5" or average 6' 3"? 99% take DJ. Height means NOTHING compared to face. J.J. says on 24/Jun/09
'Rob' i hope am not coming to the end cos my 18th bday is on the 18th of July. On the General Height page '177cm' said he has grown 4cm in 5 days. does this really happen? cos I just wanna hit 1.9cm barefeet in the evening.
'Rob' would you consider a full 190cm barefeet in the evening 6'3"? Or you'd rather wait for 0.5cm before you can claim 6'3"?
And any chance i'll make it to at least 189.9 cos i'll definately claim 6'3"! What minimum do you thnik a person can claim 6'3"? I feel like if I ever get within a cm of being 190.5cm I can claim 6'3" (an example 189.8cm; thats like 0.7cm less of 190.5cm).
If am really 186.8cm then that means with at least 3 cm I can claim 6'3" and yeah my girlfriend is actually 180.1cm exactly to the skull so 5'11"seems right.
[Editor Rob: 190cm is ok for saying 6ft 3 yes.
no you don't grow that amount, it's bs.] Mathew says on 24/Jun/09
Laura says on 23/Jun/09
As a guy what would you rather be?
1. 5'6 or 6'6
2. 5'9 or 6'5
I'd go with:
1. 6'6"
2. 6'5" Das says on 24/Jun/09
Rob,can you check this guy called dost on aishwarya rai's page.i think he's using too many names.
[Editor Rob: from an initial glance I don't know...
I'd have to read posts to see if they sound same person, I don't have time to do that.
there's a few people did use different names earlier on that page I do see that.] J.J. says on 24/Jun/09
'Rob' it's in the afternoon 13:32 & the aerosol can gives me 186.8cm am I going to shrink in the evening or will I stay the same
[Editor Rob: you shouldn't shrink much more.] klem says on 24/Jun/09
Doug: But most 5-11ers who looks desirable to women are selling themlselves taller 6 to 6-1.
Laura: As a guy I would pick taller over shorter height for both of your examples.
I would also take 7' over 5' and I try to make the best of it in sports. Alex says on 24/Jun/09
I'd take 6'6 over 5'6 though I'd rather be neither.
I'd also take 6'5 over 5'9. Not because its so much taller. I just wouldn't wanna be as low as 5'9. 6'5 use to be my ideal height when I was a kid and up to somewhere in my teens. CaptainSpaulding says on 24/Jun/09
Rob if your 5'8.75" in the moring shoudnt your height be 5'8.37"? 5'8" is your night time height not mid day.
[Editor Rob: my mid-day height is 1-2mm more than my 9pm height...] Phil says on 24/Jun/09
Laura, I'd actually go for 5'6 for the first one, since it's within normal range and 6'6 is too tall for my taste, plus I'm used to being short. Then I'd choose 5'9 since it's a respectable height and 6'5 is still too tall for my taste. Mathew says on 23/Jun/09
When was Viper banned? It seems weird to have him posting under new names. Granted, I used to post as 'Jake' years ago, but Viper was one of the top posters in the site in terms of quantity - at least I'd guess he was. Was he pretending to be taller than he really was? flash_of_eden says on 23/Jun/09
Doug- Big King is obssessed with supertallness because he is supertall (well, not to me he isn't) and enjoys flaunting it in subtle ways. flash_of_eden says on 23/Jun/09
I think it'd be fun to be 2 meters tall. derek d says on 23/Jun/09
Rob, if you are 5'8.75 out of bed then why don't you list yourself as that? I'm sure all of the celebs you meet shrink just as you do and I'm sure most of them get up around the same time you do. So even though your 5'8 - 8.25 in photos, aren't celebs a 1/2 to 3/4 ths of a inch shorter as well from their morning heights?
[Editor Rob: I think it's easier to know how tall I am in photos rather than how tall people may or may not be out of bed.] Laura says on 23/Jun/09
As a girl what would you prefer to be if you had to be:-
1. 5 ft or 6ft? I'd go for 6ft
2. 4'10 or 6'4? I think I may go for 6'4 cos used to being tall but not many guys taller
As a guy what would you rather be?
1. 5'6 or 6'6
2. 5'9 or 6'5 crababal says on 23/Jun/09
hi rob i want to ask how come my last two posts arent on the sites - but other posts from other users from the same date are? it isnt the first time. but since i have posted here for ages i think i deserve atleast a answer
[Editor Rob: your amitabh post now shows, it was down the bottom of the comments approval list.] J.J. says on 23/Jun/09
'Rob' everyone in my house thinks I look the same though. But I feel like my Dad looks smaller for some weird reason J.J. says on 23/Jun/09
'Rob' I had a feeling yesterday about my Dad shrinking. So I decided to measure electronically again cos I prefer that one since I've got a feeling it probably undermeasures rather than overestimate. I measured myself at 6.45pm exactly to my surprise it's saying 6'1.3" at 186.2cm I haven't taken any measurements for quite a while now. But I don't know whether it's cos I used to do it late at night but am going to measure myself late tommorrow at 9pm to check whether it's permenant. Because the last time I checked my height I was 6'0.7" and my mum just measured me but she is getting 6'1.6" at 186.9cm. Which measurement do I trust 'Rob'?
[Editor Rob: that much variation shows something is incorrect! Go with a big aerosol can and stand against a flat wall or door frame and you should do ok rather than the laser machine.] Big King says on 23/Jun/09
Ashleks, I guess there is no big difference between a guy who stands a good inch under 2m. Also 6'4" guys are getting stares all the time. Doug says on 23/Jun/09
In fact most guys who appear in the most desirable lists by women all seem to be 5'11 ers!! David Beckham, Brad Pitt, Jude Law, Leo DiCaprio, Daniel Craig, Justin Timberlake, Vin Diesel, Chad Michael Murray etc. Shortest are 5'9" guys like Johnny Depp and the tallest seem to be 6'2"ers like Hugh Jackman, Ben Affleck, Tom Welling and Sean Connery. Doug says on 23/Jun/09
If I was 2 metres tall or over people would look at you like a freak. A friend of mine is 6'7" and he was laughed at all through school and called "freak" and still gets hassle whenever he goes out. 6'4" barefoot is the absolute maximum I would ever feel good at. Anything above and it starts to get awkward. A large percentage of women do not find supertall guys desirable in the same way that a lot of men don't like women to be near 6' or over. Why do you think it is that most of the guys in Hollwood who regularly appear on the "sexiest lists" seme to be around 5'11"? Most of the guys that women consider the most attractive in polls lie between 5'9"-6'2". Average-tall. Not super tall. Doug says on 23/Jun/09
Rob, do you still think Connery is 6'2" even though he claimed 6'1.5" at peak? Do you honestly think he would look the same height or only an inch shorter than Christopher Lee (who you said look 6'2-6'3") today?
[Editor Rob: when (air date?) did he claim 6ft 1.5, I remember reading this but have never seen it.] James says on 23/Jun/09
rob did you remove leonardo dicario from the popular articles section of the site?
[Editor Rob: There's only so many space I assigned, I think I removed him a while ago.] Ahleks says on 23/Jun/09
If anything, being 2 meters tall must be embarassing, getting stares all the time. James says on 23/Jun/09
Some tall people are easy gainers as well Big King says on 23/Jun/09
Hey Rob, I have a suggestion for you. I mean, yes you can claim 5'8" as standart if that extra half inch bothers you but you could claim 174cm as metric because that's closer to the average height. Phil says on 23/Jun/09
ZAQ, you're more in the 5'6 1/2-5'6 3/4 range. miko says on 23/Jun/09
Rob if you had to choose between be 5"0 or 7"0 what would you be?
Neither height is very appealing, but I'm sure there would be more career opportunities at 7 feet tall.
[Editor Rob: I think maybe 5ft rather than 7ft.] 177cmmm says on 23/Jun/09
haha metric how great the would be but guys over 6ft 4 find it really hard to pack on muscle naturally. And considering 60 % of people are hardgainers 177cmmm says on 23/Jun/09
......................................................................................................right..........................i measured from ankle to hip but thats not your inseem. My mistake sorry Metric says on 23/Jun/09
Doug - it's attractive being 2 metres tall because you could pack on humongous mass and weigh 400 lbs and crush every man in your way! Or 4 men at once.
It's the dream of every man.
Whether he admits it or not. the shredder says on 23/Jun/09
Doug THANK YOU for seeing the same thing as me ! Im just asking Rob because James thinks theres only 1.5 between Avery and Smith ! It is obvious 3 or 3.5 inches ! Doug says on 23/Jun/09
Big King, why are you obsessed with supertallness? What is remotely attractive about being 2 metres or + tall? Doug says on 23/Jun/09
Shredder don't be silly. James Avery has an obvious 3-3.5inch height on Will Smith. Doug says on 23/Jun/09
177cm lol that would make you a circus freak. Maybe if you were 6'10-7 ft 39 inch inseems would be normal. Hell my 6'7" friend only has 37 leg jeans. the shredder says on 23/Jun/09
Rob , please add Kris Allen from American Idol , he claims 5'7 and do you think James Avery only has 1.5 on Will Smith ? 177cmmm says on 23/Jun/09
rob im 179 cms and have 39 inch inseem is the long for legs?
[Editor Rob: you're spouting nonsense :)] Ahleks says on 23/Jun/09
uk says on 22/Jun/09
yeah rob i have very long legs i wear 31 inseam and im 5"9.5 im still growing and 15 so my torso will catch up
I wouldn't say you've got long legs, I'm five seven and I wear the same size as you do. ZAQ says on 22/Jun/09
hey rob what would you say is my height
i am as much as 5'7 1/3 in the morning and as low as 5'6 1/2 at night ZAQ says on 22/Jun/09
Clay says on 22/Jun/09
Viper now posts as ''annonymous'' its just too easy to spot him, he's no Waldow.
How can you tell its him, it could be anyone you know
unless rob can track ip addresses
[Editor Rob: most people have linguistic giveaways, certain ways of saying phrases etc. If you read the site closely you'll spot a few trolls aswell...they are harmless though.] Gena says on 22/Jun/09
Rob someone's height is his minimum shrinking height? What do you think? burby says on 22/Jun/09
Rob, can you give the website of those "Portman" or "Maiden" shoes Glenn wore? I want to see how huge his shoes were. I did a google search, came up with nothing. Thanks. Alex says on 22/Jun/09
Viper never posted a picture of himself to prove his height either. Clay says on 22/Jun/09

Hey Rob! Have you ever seen a celebtrity who is exactly 2 meters tall? adam says on 22/Jun/09
[Editor Rob: yes I read that aswell, legs will grow more noticeably before torso.]
Yep. I just watched a photo when I was like 9 years old. My legs looked long! Nowadays I have very short legs for my height. Big King says on 22/Jun/09
Rob, imagine you were a half inch taller, that means 5'8.5" during the day and you decided to create a profile or whatever where you have to chose your height between 5'8" or 5'9". What would you choose? Roger says on 22/Jun/09
Rob, why didn't you post my comment on the Adam Yauch page?
[Editor Rob: resubmit your comment and I'll keep an eye and make sure to read it.] James says on 22/Jun/09
so rob does jenny inherit her tall height from her farther then? Alex says on 22/Jun/09
I think its impossible to lose 1.5 inches from waking throughout the day. The absolute most may be 1.25 inches but most lost in the .75- 1 inch range. ER. says on 22/Jun/09
Vipey was a troll that magically grew from 6-2 to 6-3 1/4 in his mid-twenties. Wonder what height he'd claim if he was let back? 6-5? It's hilarious with him still posting under several different names though, lol. 177cmmm says on 22/Jun/09
Rob i heard that when you grow taller your torso is last to grow is this true? at what age does this normally take place and what kind of gains are usually made?
btw i sometimes muddle up your name between paul and rob sorry :)
[Editor Rob: yes I read that aswell, legs will grow more noticeably before torso.] the shredder says on 22/Jun/09
Rob , if you add Kris Allen , what would it be ? He claims 5'7 but looks 5'6 ! the shredder says on 22/Jun/09
Yes Rob , you should add Kris Allen , I heard the 5'7 claim on the video although it most likely is in shoes ! Also it would be cool to add Danny Gokey , The glasses guy , You said he looked 5'8 ! 177cmmm says on 22/Jun/09
Hey paul i noticed your picture with Cerina vincent must be real fun meating these people. Are these people you as good looking as on tv or film or worse?
[Editor Rob: some people might look better or maybe not as you expected from seeing them on screen.] Phil says on 22/Jun/09
Rob, could you add the latest American Idol winner Kris Allen? I put in a request on the Height Request page with the details. Kris claims 5'7", but appeared more in the 5'5" range next to Ryan Seacrest. On the other hand, he appeared on the Ellen Degeneres Show and looked a strong 5'6" next to 5'7" Ellen. tubbs says on 21/Jun/09
Rob, my grandad may be having a double knee replacement soon, do you know if he'll lose any height from undergoing such an operation? If so what kind of loss are we looking at?
[Editor Rob: I don't know. Many old people can lose height dramatically!
Jenny's Dad used to be 6ft 2. He's mid 70's and has lost 4 inches in height.
Broke his leg last year and now wears a built up shoe because one leg is about 1.5 inches shorter than the other...] Derek says on 21/Jun/09
Rob- Are you going to allow Viper back? I didn't find him to be the slightest bit annoying prior to being banned, but it's annoying as hell with him posting under 5 different names.
[Editor Rob: nah.] TJ says on 21/Jun/09
So Rob, it would be the best to tell people your afternoon height right ? I mean middle between morning and night height.
But you prefer to tell people your lowest point at 5'8
anyway I've been reading a few comments you answering in the site. I think you have a very good attitude about height, it's very inspire. So thanks again
[Editor Rob: that's what I do, there's far less difference between your lunchtime height and night height compared to your out of bed height and lunch height, if that makes sense!] the shredder says on 21/Jun/09
Rob , I must ask what do you think is the real heights between Will Smith and James Avery ? Ive studied it it seems 3 or 3.5 inches !
[Editor Rob: not sure about 3.5 inches, 3 maybe.] the shredder says on 21/Jun/09
Rob , my eye brows to the top of my head is 3.5 or 3.75 inches , is that average ?
[Editor Rob: it depends, some eyebrows might be higher or thicker...] TJ says on 20/Jun/09
Rob, suppose that I am a celebrity ,I am 172 right out of bed then shrink alot to 168 right before go to sleep. What height would you bill me at ? 5'7.5, 5'6 or 5'7
Also when you met the celebrities, Do you always ask about their height or you just take a photo and do your calculation. ^^ thanks.
[Editor Rob: 1.5 inches would be extreme loss! If I met you afternoon I'd know you'd shrunk 90% of what you're gonna shrink during the day so would estimate you based on that.
I only ask an actor rarely, many times they've already given a height in an interview. Well I estimate with my own eyes on how big people appear and how they look next to a friend whose height I know, or Jenny.] flash_of_eden says on 20/Jun/09
I'm not sure I understand the confusion over how much height a person loses during the day. All this "1-2 inch height loss is impossible" stuff; do you honestly think that applies to every human being on the planet? It doesn't matter if you're shorter or tall; I lose maybe .4" over the course of a day and I'm over 6 feet, not to mention I have horrible posture. Anything that has to do with height is strictly going to depend on the individual. Sure there are general consenses (plural of consensus, hope I got that right), but that's what they are: general. There will always be exceptions. Who's to say glenn isn't one of those? James says on 20/Jun/09
rob how much taller would the average person feel perhaps if their pupils were at the top of thier head?
[Editor Rob: 4.4-4.5 inches.] bob says on 20/Jun/09
rob, i have a question: how do you inform yourself about upcoming signing events or conventions? can you maybe recommend an internet site? thanks
[Editor Rob: you're from Austria, I don't follow any in nearby countries like Germany. The next one I will go to is 18th July in London, the Film Con at Earl's court.] adam says on 20/Jun/09
Alright Rob. You sound like a professional, Im not gonna start arguing with you! James says on 20/Jun/09
I could imagine the big show would loose near 2 inches in height with his size and weight and all. A-Bomb says on 20/Jun/09
Rob,
A question i've always been meaning to ask - what kind of music do you/did you listen to? I've noticed over the years a few hip hop lyrics related to height appear on the site so I take it you have listened to maybe a bit here and there over the years. Any favourite bands?
[Editor Rob: I listen to all sorts, but I never really listen to rap.
I don't follow particular bands.] adam says on 20/Jun/09
Yes, I mean average distance from one`s forehead to top of the head is like four inches, right? When you measure height in pictures do you always count the head length in a similar way? (Hope you understood! =))
[Editor Rob: from pupils to top of head?
the dutch Dine uni study - one that measured height and eye level height. In the 20-30 year olds the average height was 184.8cm and the eyelevel was 11.5cm or 4.52 inches. In older generation where average height was 173cm eyelevel was 4.3.
If someone tilts their head up or down that's gonna make their eyelevel appear smaller/longer than it would if you measured it in reality, but 4.3-4.6 inch covers the majority, the minority like 4-4.25 or 4.6-5 inch is just that, minority!
Anything other than a bald or flat hairstyle seems to fool some people into thinking a head is bigger than it is...] Fisher says on 20/Jun/09
Yo Rob, do you think you can make a Kobe Bryant page? He always seems to be a hot topic on your site. So ya. Just an idea. adam says on 20/Jun/09
Rob, you have a very technical system of measuring one`s height. How do you take account to say a fellow who has a bigger head that an average guy?
[Editor Rob: you mean seeing someone in person? Usually the above average head is on a taller man.] Don says on 19/Jun/09
yes JJ, the average height is about 2 meters (6'7) with shoes on, which makes it 196-7 cm barefoot. (I think shoes can give anywhere from 1 inch to 1.5 inches as evidenced from nba predraft heights site)
I am a huge nba guy myself, and without looking at the roster, the tallest player on that team is probably rasheed wallace. he's listed as 6'11 but he's probably closer to 6'9.5 so your encounter makes sense. Ahleks says on 19/Jun/09
A 2-inch loss for a 5'8 person is total nonsense.
But I could believe that a person over 7 feet tall could lose close to two inches considering his very long spine. Maribel says on 19/Jun/09
Rob, how much can young people shrink, like .5? Which do you prefer to tell heights the most, by feet and inches or by the metric system, or either?
[Editor Rob: a lot of people still like the feet/inches, but giving height in cm cuts out the 1/4's or 1/2's a little bit. An inch is bigger than a lot of people think.] James says on 19/Jun/09
Thats amazaing? So a really tall guy that wakes at 6'5.5 can shrink to 6'3.5 by the dead of night?
[Editor Rob: really tall, 6ft 10+ I'm thinking more of.] James says on 19/Jun/09
Rob do you think some people even shrink 2 inches during the day?
[Editor Rob: very tall people can lose that of course, but below average?] Eric says on 19/Jun/09
rob does glenns junk measure significantly less at night "losses of 1.5-2 inches?"
[Editor Rob: 1.25 inch loss isn't impossible, it's on the very high end though, 1.5-2 inch for 5ft 7-8 men is hard to believe.] ER. says on 19/Jun/09
Rob, do you know if there's any conventions worth vising in London the weekend of the 15th and the 16th of august? I'm probably going on a trip there then. Thanks.
[Editor Rob: sorry there's nothing like that during that weekend.] 177cmmm says on 19/Jun/09
Hey rob have you ever thought of adding a section to celebheights sort of like a cht thing or maybe making the comments become posted faster.
Btw how many clebs do you think you have met in person? 1000
[Editor Rob: if I don't approve comments then a lot of bad or useless ones would go through. I do check the site at least 5 times per day.
I think there's near 300 I have a photo, I seen actors of course and never have a photo with, so it might be about double that.
I still have 40 photos not on the site so at least for a while there'll be something to show every few days.

Rob, I have a question for you. Why was I banned?
[Editor Rob: stay on topic and to the rules and all will be good!] James says on 18/Jun/09
rob sorry but can explain how you got in contact with Jay Mohr and asked him his height?
[Editor Rob: I emailed him in 2005 and asked.] J.J. says on 18/Jun/09
'Don' so their average barefeet height is about 196-197cm right. I knew it cos I've met some players in Detriot & I swear on my life the tallest was about 6'9" BAREFEET & the rest of the were In the 195cm-199cm range some also two metres plus but about a a couple of them. They look huge though cos 6'5"-6'6.5" are not heights you regularly see. The tallest ones are always around 190cm-194cm then when it gets to 6'5" they start dissapearing. Vibram says on 18/Jun/09
Rob, how tall is your brother and is he older/younger? How tall are your parents as well if you don't mind me asking.
[Editor Rob: I don't talk about siblings much on here. My parents were 5ft 10 and 5ft 5.5, both lost 1-1.25 inches in height.] Don says on 18/Jun/09
JJ 6'7 is the average height in the nba with shoes on. Metric says on 18/Jun/09
Jessen looks 6-7 to me. 177cmmm says on 18/Jun/09
ok ill just use 3 m's from now on :)
btw i saw you added or updated tom felton from 6ft to 5'9 good job. Halb says on 18/Jun/09
How tall is Christian Jessen Rob? J.J. says on 18/Jun/09
'Rob' is there any truth in the 6'7" claims for the average male basketball player ? Midget says on 18/Jun/09
Hey Rob- Looking at the home page you are pretty soon going to crack the 5000 mark for the amount of celeb listings on the site. That's awesome huh. There wouldn't be another site in existence that can match that! Probably only be another couple of months worth of adding updated names etc.to reach that milestone I would think/hope.Well done. carlos says on 17/Jun/09
hey Rob ...come to Colombia and get new celeb photos; u can find juanes or I don`t know maybe shakira, Alvaro Uribe.... and u going to pass a really great time here. aqui estaremos con los brazos abiertos. James says on 17/Jun/09
rob in the near future will you be making more changes to the celeb heights website? Maybe we might get another guy providing photos with A listers like glenn did? But the pics you get with celebs are cool as well rob.
[Editor Rob: getting people inside on level ground is what's ideal, if I found someone who had photos like that it'd be cool!] Big King says on 17/Jun/09
Rob, is there a possibility to make a photo with Kevin Durand?
[Editor Rob: not for the foreseeable future king.] 177cmmmmmm says on 17/Jun/09
whats wrong with my user Rob? i can change it if you like
[Editor Rob: it looks better, the amount of m's keeps changing!] Brad says on 16/Jun/09
I've always felt incredible after just putting my spine in contortionary (does the word exist?) positions hanging from a bar and walking backwards where it is a position it never is. I would guess somebody with huge muscles pushing discs around must be great. I wonder if a really strong guy can actually move muscles and nerves away from discs and alleviate pain. I read Kurt Cobain just ate pain killers for his spine like gum drops. I'd be like Gumby and put my spine the other way, I don't care how much it hurt. Stand on my back. burby says on 16/Jun/09
Rob, I don't know if this was asked before, but have you measured yourself on the stadiometer in a military posture midday? Just asking because I see your feet are apart in the pic, and it can cause a loss in height. For example, the Tom Cruise sightings of 5ft 7 would seem accurate, but put him on a stadiometer midday military posture and he's 5ft 7.75.
[Editor Rob: honestly 2 inches or no inches for me the difference is like a mm.
but I did just do a measurement with the stadiometer against the wall and my back against it and got 2mm taller. But that could simply be the floor not 100% level...] Jim says on 15/Jun/09

I had a bunch of different chiropractors over the years and all but this one guy I was talking about really did pretty much nothing.
The guy that helped me out cracked my back in a bunch of different ways and my neck.
Then what he did was I think using knuckles pressed in pretty hard and massaged my mid back for a good while.
This guy was the biggest chiropractor I was ever treated by and he worked on me for a much longer time like 20 minutes vs. the usual 5 or 10 if you are lucky like the other ones did. He also really worked my back pretty good and he was pretty strong. Other chiropractors did comparatively very little.
My back actually felt "normal" when he was done working on me but it's a really temporary thing. The benefit was gone by the next day. And for like $50 or whatever it really was not worth it but he was the best I have ever seen.
The rest of the chiropractors were pretty much a waste. I know some people love them but I'm just giving you my experience.
I want to try a deep tissue massage I have never had one.
I have tried some streching but the problem I have with it is it seems to disturb my digestion. I guess from my guts being streched as well! Even if I do it in the morning it seems to bother my guts.
But my main point is that for some people like me height can vary a lot depending on how good or bad my back is doing. So if someone would measure me and think I'm always that height it would not be like that at all. |
