@ Jdubbz
6'9" being more extreme in the Netherlands is correct. People dont think it through, 6'1" is just above average here thats how I feel in my country. You need to be 189 cm so 6'2.5" to be tall here. Very tall is perhaps 6'5" range. The lowest I could think for extreme height is 6'8" range but solid like 204-205cm.

@Johan 185 cm
185 cm is a pretty normal height in Germany, it sounds strange that you felt tall there.
And you're making it sound like 6'7" is a normal height. Even in the Netherlands it's extremely tall lol.
-----------------
Normal ? yes I wouldnt say its very tall but according to many Germans they are just as tall as Dutch people. Which is nonsense, walking around in Eindhoven most men are within 3cm of me . In Germany there were plenty of men who I would class as under average or short in my own country. 5'10" is very common there seems the avg height of most men. That is under average in the netherlands by 2 inches. Its the equivalent of 5'7.5" in the US.
The Netherlands is a small country, you will see not just very tall people here daily but giants in cities.
6'7 is the equivalent of 6'5 in most western countries here. Not an extreme height but borderline.

Rob has a video on his YouTube channel where he measures himself with different objects and compares how they stack up to the stadiometer.

@Jdubzz
Haha maybe I was exaggerating. It depends on how you define "extremely tall" I guess - in the Netherlands, it's probably slightly above the 99% percentile, so still not super rare. But it definitely stands out. So would you, dude 😄.
6'9 is probably where it gets really rare though, as you pointed out. That's also bloody insane lol

@Charline:
5’5 or 5’2, you’re still under my shoulders. That’s all I care about. To me, you and a 5’2 woman register as equally short, unless I’m really paying attention. Does this make you angry? 5’5 is not all that sweetie. Compared to the average person, you’re still short.

@Charline I agree, there is noticable difference between 157 cm and 165 cm. One is short, the other solid average for women. The eye level comes at the mouth area and it's a medium sized difference. It's the same difference I feel next 186 cm guys and 186 cm is low tall range for guys.

Funnily enough, the tallest Germans are the ones in Nordrhein-Westfalen, which is where Oberhausen is situated.

178 cm must be the average height for men all age groups - I very much doubt that the younger men are below 180 cm on average.

@Jdubzz Your point of view is always pointless 🙄 You don't even know how to argue. Now you're comparing 5'2 women to 5'5 women. Sorry, but are you scatterbrained or what?! Are you even aware what is the average female height of many European countries (considering they are the tallest in the world)?! Have you heard yet that 5'5 is the National average height of many great countries for example France, Switzerland and Germany???!!! ABSOLUTELY NO ONE stares at 5'5 women thinking they're short, let alone tiny, in Europe. Have you seen the comment of @Okidoki I recommend you check it out, because he is one of the persons with the most insightful mind from all the people that write here, he clearly wrote that in general 5'5 is the Average Female Height in Europe, while not excluding 5'6 being quite close, and 5'4.5, and also 5'6.5 and 5'7 not being far from it. And now talking about 3 inches height difference, While a 7 cm or 8 cm height difference isn’t absolutely huge, such measurements do represent a medium to large height difference that’s definitely noticeable to pretty much everyone. Anyone with half a brain can see that.

You think 6’7 is extremely tall in the Netherlands? Interesting. I see it as the start of extremely tall in the US and other Western countries with a 5’9-10 average, but the Netherlands beats that by a couple of inches. I would have assumed extremely tall starts at 206cm at least in such a tall country, but of course I don’t live there.

Its interesting. Even though some friends Ive met are educated about height and how to measure properly, they still assessed my height around 188 cm when i was with them.
I'm in reality 187 to 187.6 cm out of bed depending on how long ive slept and anywhere from 6'7/8th - 6'1 in my normal low.

“Don't get me wrong @Charline, but having conviction about something through opinion is one of the most harmful things you can do to yourself.”
Very well said, Gian. I agree 100%. Too many people seem to think that an opinion makes them magically immune to criticism. Especially when that opinion is outlandish and controversial. It’s like a “get out of jail free” card for ignorant people.

I understand you made a mistake here, but you should seriously read an exchange (instead of skimming it) before jumping in, otherwise you just look like an absolute fool.

I haven't been deeply entrenched in CelebHeights politics in a while, but from my brief examination of your comments, you have simply been advocates for shorter-statured women by stating that they aren't childlike or childish.

I didn't claim intellectual superiority. I simply said Charline must have reading comprehension problems because neither Jdubbz nor Poster said anything remotely insulting. They have been advocates of smaller-statured women by saying that they aren't childish.
How anyone could misread that is truly beyond me. Honestly, now, do you have a bone to pick with me all of a sudden, buddy? What did I do to wrong you?

Lass, your English is atrocious. I am bilingual myself as Greek was my native tongue, I learned English later during K-12.
It's incredible how you disregard that Poster is a woman and instead attack me because I stipulated that your reading comprehension is wanting. That's not the same as intelligence, FYI. Alas, I am prone to believe that you are either a troll or a belligerent, banal simpleton. Which is it? Don't hurt yourself while you reach for your dictionary, either.
I have amicable correspondence with Jdubbz and Poster, and so I will come to their defence. This will be my final correspondence with you. Good day, little lady. ;)

@ppc and Rob
I would give 6ft 1/2 - 6ft1 for CBUM. I'll explain.
He has measured several times in bodybuilding championships at this point, and was probably dehydrated (technique to look more defined).
He beat Ramon Dino (Brazilian bodybuilder) who measured about 180.5cm - 181cm by 3-4cm (look for pictures of both).
He's very famous, Rob, he definitely deserves a page here.
I would recommend putting it before Mr.Olypia 2023.

@adrianjacobs Thank you, they are quite tall then- seems like a lot would be same height as me or taller, even those not in heels then! Maybe those in heels would be quite a lot taller in fact, maybe this take a few way over 6ft! (I thought I was relatively tall compared to most girls, even in heels, but maybe not!)

@Johan Average height in Germany is 178-180 cm depending on demographic and in the Netherlands 181-183 cm. So hardly a big difference.
----------
Avg height in the west of Germany ( where i was) is nowhere near 180 cm. Its 178 cm as I was comfortably taller than most men in a city center. And I am talking about young men.
Dutch avg is 182 range overall but nearer 183 cm when you take away the elderly.
Men being 2-3 cm shorter is a big difference than 7 cm !!.

I meant that for young ethnic Danish men, 6'0/183 cm is around the 60% percentile. Overall the 50% percentile for young men all ethnicities included is probably around 180 cm
-
If 183/6’0 is around or about the 60th percentile amongst young danish dudes, then it means the 50th percentile should be 181-181.5 at most.
And the overall young population is around 180 cm, yeah. Maybe at worst case scenario 178.5 cm. But around 180 cm like (179-180 cm range) at most.

Actually a lot of them wear white sneakers, but some do wear high heels (but not the majority I think). A lot of girls are 5'11 and taller

Guys non height related question but does it take a lot of work and dedication if you lift weights/with low body fat to get a bmi score of say 24.9 steroid free?
Not really. Some guys who are lean and don't lift at all are at that BMI naturally. A lot of it comes down to frame size
Mike Tyson was naturally 218 pounds and did not even lift weights

It's an odd trend to observe, but it is true. If it's not your intelligence, they usually attack your integrity because they have nothing else to sustain their drivel.
I briefly examined Charline's syntax and it is clear that their first language is not English. I am tempted to conclude that this is a misunderstanding borne out of an insufficient grasp of the English language, but I don't know.
I would say that this forum generates an IQ well below average, however. It's still better than it has been since Gsuave was banned, though. If you are familiar with him, that is. Nevertheless, I still think you're one of the more mature and intelligent posters on here.

@adrianjacobs Do you find girls in clubs in Sweden wear quite high shoes still? Everyone must seem quite tall if some are 6’1 without heels and if others who may be fairly tall already then also wear heels! I’m 5’11 and not been to Sweden but wondered if there would be a lot of girls who would be taller than this (with/without heels) in clubs!

Defending your obsession you both are able to say every kind of insult. With this behaviour you both are showing your lack of integrity. I personally only showed my point of view as how I see a certain height, because this is a height site discussion where we can comment and say our opinion of how we perceive different human heights. That is my RIGHT. And is also your right if you disagree and think the contrary. But what I absolutely don't accept is the total lack of respect and integrity from both of you. Shame on both of you calling an adult woman "little girl".

Btw, just yesterday and night before we had beer fests in downtown, it was pretty crowded, one in four was over 6'2, couple were shorter than 5'10' shortest probably about 5'7 and tallest up to 6'7, majority being 5'11 to 6'2. I blent in fairly well at between 6' and 6'1. On couple of occasions i was towered by group of dudes. Later last night i went to local night club again it was mostly filled with 18 to 22 yo's i felt somewhat on shortish side. Only fewer were head shorter. Many girls were up to 5'11 in heels.
-In that case, people who to clubs in Sweden where I live might even be taller. I think at least 1 in 3 are easily 6'2+ here and not a few girls are 6'1 without heels.

@Ipa I believe that. Some averages in Bosnia for men can go up as high as 183-184 cm though it's only 181.2 cm for the whole country. I was there a couple of years back and I felt lower average (30th percentile) but not short.

I went on holiday to Oberhausen in Germany. Expected it to be similar to my home The Netherlands. Wasn't close. Average man in Germany looks to be 5'10 range -178 cm. Also far less extreme heights in the city. I think the tallest guy i saw was 6'7". Germany seems to be similar to Belgium.
Arrived home and immediately felt average again, always funny to go abroad and instantly become tall.

@Ipa that’s interesting to know you felt on shortish side around 6’-6’1- Im 5’11, so assume would definitely been on the shorter side then! Would you say quite a few girls would have been taller than this with heels, say 6ft or over?
I guess many are therefore fairly tall already, or were just in high shoes maybe- although would be interesting to know the average and tallest heights when in heels!

Ok, I'll stop if you do. As far as calling you 6'0.5, I honestly thought that was your height. If you said otherwise sorry, I've been skimming comments lately. I thought you were over 6' and under 6'1.
As far as 5'2 not being a great height for women, I don't think it's as simple as thinking it's equivalent to 5'7 for a guy and not good because of that. In some ways, being short as a woman is a good thing. Shortness is usually seen as a more feminine trait, so they have they going for them.
Height in general isn't that big of a big deal as far as female attractiveness goes. Not the case for dudes.

Also, I know we are talking about 5'2-women. That's the equivalent of a man who is roughly 5'7, so 5'2 is most definitely very short even for a woman. It's pretty hard for me to see how it's a "great" height.
If it's bearable is another question

Hi, I just wondered what was the highest heel / extra height you have gained or been with someone wearing who has gained the extra height?
I’m 5’11 and sister is 5’7 and she may wear these as part of outfit Click Here
My shoes add little or no height. Her friend who is 5’7.5 will wear the same and her partner is 6’3. I’m now thinking i may be the shortest in the group and not sure how noticeable this will be in comparison!
Just wondered if anyone experienced this change in peoples height, if someone wears a really high pair all of a sudden, either going out or for work etc!

That's a good point about airports. Ability to fly usually means more disposable income which usually means adequate nutrition during development. As far as Adrian, I don't know what to say anymore. He's even bringing up random crap I said in the past to prove a point which has nothing to do with what we're talking about. I don't know what his goal is here, but it's kind of funny tbh haha

If you don't want to be called a little girl, don't act like one. At 5'5, you're not even that much taller than people you claim are "womanlets" who look childlike. From my POV, 5'5 and 5'2 women look more or less equally tiny. If you're getting offended then I'm sorry, but you can't post a radical take like "5'2 women look like children" and not expect and resistance. It's just not a common opinion at all.

Pretty cringey and absolutely a bit immature of you to bring up random stuff I said in the past in an attempt to "own me" when it's not even relevant to the topic at hand. The heck does me being a bit uncomfortable (not "absolutely can't stand") around taller men have to do with this? Especially when that happens once in several months? The subject is whether 5'2 women look childlike or not, which I obviously disagree with. How am I "defending short heights?"
Context matters. Like Poster said, are you being willfully dishonest or are you just that out of it? 5'2 for a woman is not the same thing as 5'2 for a man. We're talking about women here. 5'2 is an objectively bad height for a man, so I'd never virtue signal to a 5'2 guy and tell him his height is wonderful. 5'2 for a woman is a great height. Short women don't have the same issues in life as short men.
We clear?

We respect your RIGHT to have whatever opinion you want. No one is disputing that. Just because you're entitled to your opinion doesn't mean we have to respect that opinion, especially when it's so illogical. There are such things as dumb opinions. For example, thinking the Earth is 6000 years old and flat is a dumb opinion. Nobody here except you seems to think that 5'2 women look childlike, because that makes no sense.
As I said before, there is SO MUCH MORE that goes into looking childlike than height. Would you say a well endowed (you know what I mean) 50 year old 5'2 woman with an hourglass figure and mature looking face looks childish? No, because that makes no sense.

Dude, the airport thing is real. I always see some random 195cm or even 200cm dude at an airport without fail. Even though I’ve only seen one 200cm dude EVER. It’s always the airports bro.
On another note, in the area where I live, there is a large immigrant population, and at the mosque I go to, I always see a consistent amount of 193cm+ middle eastern and south Asian people. It small amount, 4-5, but it is evident that south asians were being held back by nutrition, as these are all second gen people. The tallest we have is I think 195cm. Also, I wanted to as, what type of facial/body hair growth did you have at my age? Just to compare.

5'6 average in Netherlands and Bosnia? You're literally pulling averages out of your ass and you call me not too bright? I guess a truly bright person guesstimates the averages like you do, and then doesn't get it right either.
It's literally measured at 5'7.5 in Bosnia and 5'7 in the Netherlands. 5'2 could easily be described as childish there, and I'm sure it would be described as childish in most European countries because it's simply rare to see adult women that short.

I could imagine there's a significant height difference between income groups in the US due to the country's high inequality.
The times I've been to US airports I haven't felt much taller compared to how I feel in Denmark, but I'd assume it's the wealthier Americans you'd spot there. However, when I walked in the streets of NYC or LA I felt I was standing out quite a bit. Maybe because these cities are very ethnically diverse too.

In some countries of the world like Japan, Mexico and Latin countries in general, China, India and some other Asian countries if we say that 5'4 or 5'5 is considered tallish, then yes it's true, but "5'2"?! Come on,please!!! Have you lost your mind?

@Poster People have different preferences, get over it. Though I do agree, that Charline has some issues lol. It's all good.
World average female height is 159 cm and male average 171 cm so 157 cm if anything is lower average range

5'2 women are like 5'7 men, so slightly short. I think women are legit short at 5'1 and under as a guy who's 5'6 is definitely short. At least in UK.

Glad to hear. Have physicians associated any of your complications with your height? I know they usually rule out height as a determining factor if it's less than 2 SD above average.

5'2 is a common womens height. People look at it as short because 5'2 generally speaking is pretty short but for women its technically just below average. Id say 5'0 or below is legitimately short for women and can start to become child like.

It's absolutely ridiculous to say that 5'2 women look like children! I doubt that anyone would say such a thing in Bosnia or the Netherlands, and 5'6" might be the average height there. In fact, 5'2 might be seen as tallish in a few select regions in Central America, as well as Southeast Asia. I sometimes wonder if people, on this board, post from mental institutions.

Hi rob how do you feel about getting closer to 50 are planning, to do a video about you on youtube saying to goodbye to your 40s when your 49, and will you consider doing a celebration on youtube when you turn 50 to mark the big birthday. I can't believe your getting close to 50. I remember you getting close to 40 that seems like yesterday i wonder at 50 if you will consider getting just for men to look 35 again.

People like you and I defy the stereotypes. I am not sure how tall you'll end up, but I was exactly your height at 15 and ended up at 199cm. My male cousins in the US aren't as tall as me, but the shortest is 5'10 and the tallest is around 6'1. Above average even by American standards. Genetically, I believe that South Asians can be quite tall. It's just malnutrition that has held us back. I've seen many South Asian families where the parents are not tall at all and the children who grew up in the West end up as much as a foot taller (or even more). That is what happened to me as well.

Well, I did know an Indian (a Muslim, if it matters) who was ~6ft 6 and his brother was maybe ~6ft 2, and a Syrian refugee (a Christian) I once worked with was 6ft 2 or 3 range, and a Lebanese Muslim who was ~6ft 3.
But in all honesty, I think I've seen a lot more Middle Eastern people in Sweden who were 5ft 7 to 9 range than 6ft 1 to 3 range. It does not feel very common to see tall people from there.

Yes, many people assume that south Asians and middle eastern people are just plain short, you’ll never see someone tall of this ethnicity etc but that is not the case. When we grown up in a proper environment we can turn out quite tall. I myself am of South Asian decent, and having recently turned 15, I am 187cm in the morning. My uncle who grew up in a good environment turned out to be 194cm. And all my other cousins who grew up in America/Canada after their parents immigrated have all turned out to 6’+. Even though our previous generation was not that tall. My projected height is also quite high, but we’ll see about that.

His draft is scheduled for 2024, and if he and Lebron play together it will be a historic event, even more so because he is a basketball player and people are interested in his height.

@John185 I've just decided to see previous comments here today from another posters and your comment where you replied to another poster caught my eye. Just Wow! I couldn't agree more. Reading your comment the beautiful model Victoria Silvstedt came to my mind, because she is the exact height as your ex-girlfriend and she truly looks special with her height and can easily give a 6'0 impression.
@John185 said on 18/Mar/23
I understand your logic, but I disagree to some extent. I previously dated a woman that was 5'10.5/5'10.75 and trust me her height was special. She looked very noticeably tall compared to other women and even a substantial amount of men. (Granted her slim figure may have given the illusion of being closer to 6'0.)
I have seen women of similar stature here in the UK, but she had a rare height for sure.
Broadly speaking in Europe I would say 179cm is the starting point of a special/rare height for a woman.
So I wouldn't be inclined to put 5'10.5 in the same category as 5'8, because the latter is not uncommon, despite still being a great height in my opinion.
John I have too the same opinion. Thinking in the European metric system 179 is the only "7" which can compete with 180+ women, is the only which is clearly quite strong. I definitely too wouldn't put 5'10.5 in the same category with 5'8 or even with 5'9.5 or with either flat or a strong 5'10.
Things really change at solid 5'10.5 or 5'10.75.

Like 90% of women that are under 5'3 are terribly insecure.
@5'10.25 From what I know is the contrary Central and Northern Swedes tend to be taller and prettier than Southern ( Northern ones are kind and empathic) When I visited Stockholm for example I've seen prettier and taller women, contrary to Malmö, where they were mostly 5'6 and quite average looking frankly speaking. Victoria Silvstedt is Northern Swedish, many people know and like her,including my friends, who think that she's absolutely gorgeous. I also think that she is very pretty and quite tall at around 5'11, which is a rare height in Southern Sweden for women in general.

Overall average in Sweden including all age groups and all ethnic groups should more be like 177-179.5 cm.

Been to a local night club in friday, felt averagish to slightly bellow avg because every 4th guy was almost head taller and only fewer were a bit shorter than me which happens half of time. I was probably 184cm-ish at time during night but i also wore shoes that give 3cm boost. Most youth were probably younger than me by 4+ years. Im 1996 btw.

I'd say tall starts at 6'0"-6'4", depending in which country you live in Europe ( 10 cm over the 50th percentile or 90th). Some average only 5'8" while some 6'0", most 5'9" and 5'10" range. Probably 6'4" in the Netherlands, 6'3" in Sweden/Germany and western balkan countries, 6'2" in the UK or Poland, 6'1" in Italy, 6'0" in Albania.

Damn dude, really sorry to hear of all the problems. The irregular heartbeat can be harmless in some cases, but the nerve damage is pretty bad especially if it's from your spine degenerating. Can any amount of stretching or posture correct anything at this stage? Hopefully you are consulting an expert in the field perhaps they can slow it down.
In the meantime try to make the best you can out of your life. Keep in mind Richard Kiel was 7'2 and he lived to 75. So hopefully you'll live a reasonable good long life regardless of what challenges the height has thrown your way. Wishing you the absolute best dude!

@WhatcanIclaim
Rob would list you on his website at 6'0.25 more than likely. The most honest claim is a normal bedtime low, which in your case sounds around 6'0 and 1/8th.
Obviously trying to tell someone that in person as your height sounds ridiculous and makes you look silly, so you have two options:
Claim 6'1, nobody will bat and eye and question it. May or may not think you're 6'2 depending on if you're lanky or not and proportions.
Claim 6'0, and expect some people to be surprised and say there's no way you're only 6'0. Unless you have an extremely wide/heavy weight frame, people may think you're 5'11 or something then.

1. I'm 6'0 5/8-6'0.75 in the evening, not 6'0.5.
2. You being insecure at 6'3 in America is a pretty different thing from me being insecure at this in Sweden. That would be the equivalent of me being insecure about being "too short" at 6'5 in Sweden. It seems like the main reason you were insecure about it was because a few people were still taller than you and you were not the absolute tallest person everywhere you went. Literally the only reason you got over it was because you grew taller and not because you became another person mentally.
Imagine being me and being shorter than the majority of men, shorter than a large amount of women, and also NOT reaching the height I was projected to end up at.
3. I don't understand why these people have the right to say that I say outlandish things and have a deluted height perception if they underestimated my height by nearly three inches.

So now you hate 5'2 woman because of this particular individual? There has to be more to this story than what you're saying. Also, you can't unironically say "womanlet" unless you're @Poster's height at least.

I don’t know why people are saying they don’t find shorter women attractive lol. Attractive women come in all shapes and sizes. Don’t get me wrong, perfect female height for me is 5”6-5”9, but that doesn’t mean I don’t find shorter women attractive. I’m sure most men find someone like Scarlet Johansson (5”3) extremely attractive lol, what is this nonsense.

@arvedtall:
Sorry that happened to you, but I know guys even taller than me (I'm 6'6-6'7) who are much older than you with no major health problems to speak of. Certainly nothing that you mentioned. I don't have any either, but then again I'm only 25. Some of the problems you mentioned like irregular heartbeat (particularly arrythmias) are more common in very tall people, but the others don't sound related to your height at all and are indicative of a much more serious health problem.
I truly hope you get relief from those conditions as they sound very painful, but blaming it all on being 6'8 is a bit ridiculous.

Just measured myself at 11 am (3 hours out of bed) and I'm 184 cm on the nose. Amongst young ethnic Danish guys I think that's around the 60-65% percentile, so slightly above average - including all ethnicities I'm a bit closer to the 70% percentile, but not quite there I'd say.
I do see women my height or slightly taller (185-186 cm) almost daily. Women around 187-190 cm aren't that rare either, but any taller than that is a really uncommon sight. The average height for young ethnic Danish women is 169-170 cm, for men it's around 181-182 - all ethnicities included, I think it's 167-168 cm for women and 180-181 cm for guys. If you account for daily height shrinkage, you could probably subtract 1-1.5 cm from those numbers.
Keep in mind that I live in Copenhagen so I pass by thousands of people daily, so, there's obviously a higher chance for me to spot both very tall and very short people than you would in smaller places.

I know this one guy who would always claim “6ft4 and a half”. One day he stood back to with one of my friends who is 6ft2 (187cm) and they were the same height.
Do you guys think that’s an usual that a 6’2 man would round up to 6’4.5?

There isn’t a single piece of data, whether it’s an article, study, report, etc to validate any of the claims this troll is making. Just stop giving him attention. He can continue to wallow in his own delusions of feeling short at a weak 6’1 and insisting 6’3.5 isn’t a tall height, or as his mother put it average. I feel bad for him because he sounds depressed but it’s ruining this forum.

@Charline I'd say Swedes average more or less 5'11" or 180-180.5 cm range. 178 cm or 5'10" in the north (strong Lappid influence) and 5'11.5" in the south (strong nordid/cromagnid influence).

@Charline There was a female poster named Mariana not long ago who also said that 5'2 women were insecure in her opinion.
As for the perfect height, this is often subjective, so it's not really easy to say-
But from watching what they say in the media in general, for women, it's often said that between 5'7-5'9 is a great height. For men, it's often said that between 6'-6'2 is a great height.
You can also see how preferences vary here on the board too. We have 2 posters, James B 172 cm and MaskDeMasque 5'9.5 who for example like or prefer women taller than them.
Then you have Jdubbz who is around 6'6.5, who prefer women around 5'2 for example.
It's often subjective, some people like short women, average height women or tall women, it depends.
There is a stereotype which you see sometimes in the media, that shorter men like taller women or taller men like shorter women. The reasons cited then are that shorter men need taller women to produce offspring that will give a greater height or vice versa, that taller men need shorter women for some biological reasons.
Reasons for the attraction are also cited as that opposites attract or that you like what you don't have etc.

Well, i think i judge it well in my opinion, i haven't made a mistake more than 2 cm when in person, and have often guessed within a cm the real height. But yes, when watching pictures, movies etc it's more difficult to guess the right height i guess.

Maybe she is the one whose life is now hell because of this real feminine force. Because I don't have nothing what to envy at 5'2 womanlet height at all. So please don't try arguing with me for things you have no idea for what is happening. You don't have the slightest idea what kind of a ty and unworthy person compared to me she is.

For those who glorify extreme tallness I can present my "health chart" as a 6'8'' person:
up to age 34: no diagnosed health problems
age 35: venous insufficiency diagnosed in the legs
age 36: osteoarthritis in the hip joints
age 39: degenerative scoliosis
age 40: osteoarthritis in the knee joints
age 41: nerve damages due to degenerative processes in the spine
age 41: irregular heartbeat
I can understand any young guy who admires tallness, but if you think about the long term consequences in terms of health you maybe see it differently.

UK I’m 185cm morning, few mm under 184 lunch, between 183-183.5 at bed. Am I 6 foot flat? 6 foot and a half? Strong 6 footer?
I feel above/average tallish, but quickly and easily not feel tall. I can go from being tallest in group to one of the shortest quite easily.
Almost never see a woman taller than me. In general feels like a solid height.

In general the perfection height range for female gender is min.solid 5'3 and max. solid 5'5. Height wise USA has healthier female average height than European countries and also than Asian countries ( excluding South Korea) who are quite short on average at 5'0-5'2, USA wins because the exact average female height that World Health Organization has confirmed a typical 5'4 (everyone can type and find it in google) so considering 5'4 is considered medically average height of fully grown females, it means 5'3-5'5 is the ideal feminine height.

@ Henrik Yes, you are right, because even though many immigrants who grow there, grow tall as well, even I have heard of a late teenager girl that grew an inch when she moved to Sweden, after stopping growing at 14, she continued the growing process for a whole one inch again after 3-4 years she stopped growing. I think that happened because of the quality air and water, and also food in stores is extremely controlled in Sweden, they don't dare to keep unhealthy foods in supermarkets. But with all those qualities, it's true that immigrants have weaker genetic in general, so yes it's much more common for example to see a 5'11 ethnic swedish woman than 5'11 foreigner one.

I think that, generally, ethnic Swedes are taller than those of immigrant background. I'm sure that the children of immigrants grow taller than their parents and averages of their home countries, but there is a still a difference that is attributed to genetic factors.
Click Here
^^ Basically those who have a lot of "Yamnaya" admixture (which is associated with modern-day ethnic Northern Europeans) are more likely to be tall.
This article (paywall) below claims that the Swedish average has shrunk from 5ft 11 (men born in 1956) to 5ft 10 in 2016. It also states that men born in 1990 measured 181.7cm...

Lol, I just found this quote by you from 12th of March this year:
"I also really didn't enjoy seeing guys on my campus who were taller than me. It got to the point that I was actually insecure about being "only" 6'3, which I know sounds ridiculous."
And this one as well from the same day:
"I still felt a little insecure about my height until I hit 6'4-5 or 194-195cm. I guess at 6'3 I was tall but still saw a decent number of guys taller than me."
It's totally noticeable how you were insecure about your height only because you didn't grow as tall you were supposed to be, like you said today.

@Poster @Jdubbz You both can try to defend how much you want 5'2 women, but you can't deny the fact that they are height conscious all the time, are terribly insecure, wear high heels even in second trimester of pregnancy and even buy their child 5-8 year son athletes with lifts ( that shows how much obsessive they are). Neither of you can tell me anything about them, because I have seen such women many times and they are TERRIBLY INSECURE. Even a fool can notice that they look clearly SHORT.

I'm going to ask once again, since no one seems to have answered. Given that many of you have a more accurate height perception than me like you say, why did you all underestimate how tall I am?
I uploaded a video to prove my height, so you can't just blame me for thinking that I'm taller than I am.

1. I'm less than half-Swedish, thank God.
2. Swedes hate everyone who look slightly differently, no matter what Americans who fetishize Sweden say. Everyone with less than a favourable appearance, even if it's just genetical defects and not clothes, is deemed "autistic".
3. Immigrants here are tall as well.

"Don’t bring me into your delusion. I was insecure about being 6’3 (not 6’4) because I was a very tall kid who was projected to be much taller than that and thought my growth was stunted somehow."
-I was projected to be about 6'2. In spite of that, you don't see me complaining about my stunted height, even though I'm considerably much shorter than 6'3.
"I wasn’t insecure because I thought I was living in giant land where the average guy was 6’3.5. Get a grip on reality."
-And I said that the average was close to 6'2, which some users who have been here agreed with.

As far as the other things you mentioned (aside from posture), I don't think that necessarily has to do with height. I've seen many shorter guys with messed up skeletons (bad facial structure, scoliosis, unfavorable proportions etc.) and guys around my height who look like greek statues.
As far as tendency to break bones, I don't think that is true either. There is a study I saw that was trying to determine how each part of the body scaled with height (in terms of mass, size, composition, etc.) and discovered that taller people have HIGHER bone mineral density relative to their skeletal size and weight compared to shorter people. I've personally never broken a bone in my life, and I'm not a sedentary person!

I don't agree that 5'2 women look "childish"! I don't understand this reasoning. Millions of women are that height or shorter. I've never heard anybody say that about a 5'2 woman.
Yeah, that's such a ridiculous thing to say. I'd argue that billions of women around the world are 5'2 or shorter. Maybe half of all women worldwide. Height alone doesn't make someone look childish. Body and facial structure play a huge role.

@adrianjacobs Now, come on don't make such foolish statements, because you're not the only swede, because there are 8 milion swedes in Sweden, and the other 2 milion, 1 milion of them is Arab(which you swedes hate extremely much, even though I can't blame you in that matter very much because many times they have proved many bad actions as a nation, but the matter is that you too ABSOLUTELY hate other nationalities there) and the other 1 milion is made of many other nationalities. And also many of us that write on this site have visited Sweden,including Stockholm. And the average there is 6 foot, yes there you can see 6'3-6'5 men walking on the streets, but also you can see 5'7-5'9 immigrants, so if you're really 6 foot as you say, I honestly can't understand your insecurity every time you write something here. Don't overestimate the average, please and don't keep repeating the same and the same that 6'3/6'4 isn't tall because that is undoubtedly VERY TALL in EVERY CORNER of this world. As you can see we're all against your false statements, and we can't all be wrong, and you the only "Wise" here.

In my case, as i growing up my skull becoming wider and longer. Taller height = more bones, lol.
At 5'11-6'0" i was quite different person mentally and physically. Face is changed a bit.
My brother is the same, at 6'1.25" he had perfect body, at 6'3" he haven't it anymore = really long legs and long skull plus hair.
That's why i always keep 6'1" as my perfect height, it's something about aesthetics like James Hetfield, Roger Moore, CR7, Eric Dane, Jeffrey Dean Morgan.
Also it's really much harder to have better health, straight skeleton and posture ... My brother, 6'5" guy, broke his legs!
Other mate, solid 6'3", broke his legs + wear glasses.
Other 6'3" friend is wear glasses too.
One guy from basketball team ...one broken leg and he's 6'4" ... So it's a real life!

@Henrik
I don't think the Swedish average height for men was 181.7 cm 15 years ago, if you have that study then it would be lovely if you could share it. I've read anywhere from 179-181 cm but never above or under that. I have a generally hard time imagining that the national average for Sweden, as in for the entire country, is close to 183 cm. The last thing I personally read was like 179.6 cm and I've also heard 181 cm. I'd generally say a bit over 180 cm seems a decent average for men while 167-168 seems likely for women
@K_916
For me it's largely just insecurity. Most of my time spent on here has been to tame my anxieties and neuroticism toward this subject so that I don't start involving it in my day-to-day life with people I spend actual time with. I'd say most regular posters on this website suffer from some sort of neuroticism surrounding height (with some clear exceptions of course, like Sandy or Nik, who just seem like nice people) and although I think it's a good website for the sake of truth, it definitely doesn't benefit someone who's on the edge of becoming unhealthily obsessed with the subject. Just a side note; I definitely don't talk about height all the time. In fact, in recent time, I try talking about it as little as possible and ignoring it. It's pretty often on my mind unfortunately, but I'm working on it

Most my days are pretty active mainly work days so I'm gonna hit my low earlier then extreme low by evening especially after gym. Ive always just said 6'0. To claim 6'0.5 you should be at least 6'0.25 at a normal low.

@Henrik The Dutch are the tallest and about 183 cm range. Bosnians average 183-184 cm only in the dinaric area, which is about 30% of the country, the overal average for the country is 180 cm (182 cm younger guys) and only about 179 cm in the north. So that statement is incorrect.

I have to disagree. I'm not lanky and long faced even 15cm above 184cm. It's more likely the taller you are but not a guaranteed thing. If someone is prone to those type of proportions, it usually doesn't show up until your height at least.

Seriously now.
6ft0 1/4 - 1/2 still makes him a 184cm guy, particularly myself would claim 6ft 1/2, it's kind of weird to explain but for example I sometimes say I'm a strong 5ft11 but I claim 5ftt11.25.
It's kind of subjective terms like strong, solid, etc.
Maybe I expressed myself badly, but he is indeed a 184cm guy.

I can sometimes get a higher (177cm) measurement but 176cm seems to be the lowest point and I've not yet seen a lower figure. So I assume 176cm feels pretty correct and 177cm f.e. is when the head is tilted too high.

@adrianposter The tallest are dutch who average around 183.5 cm, not 182 cm or 184 cm (according to ncd data) and men in dinaric alps who average 183 cm and 184 cm young guys. So the tallest average in the world is 6'0"-6'1" range.

@Charline Yes, when it comes to proportions in women. But, like I said before height is not that important to me.

Even at his low on normal day he is taller than 6'0.25 so don't downgrade him.

The average for Sweden is 180 cm (Click Here).
Maybe you think: "It doesn't matter what the data show, what matters is my perception of reality", but does this kind of attitude objectively approach the truth? Is your thinking biased, leading you to infer incorrectly? Can you refute the articles that say the average is between 180-181cm? If yes, how? There are other people who are also from Sweden and they disagreed with you, are they wrong?
Maybe you don't mind refuting and believe your opinion is sufficient, but if you continue with that kind of thinking, would you say you're being rational? why would you choose to continue with a simple value judgment instead of scientifically and logically justifying your arguments? (At least when you're referring to statistical average heights, the scientific method is more effective.)
Another point, I don't need to live in Sweden to disagree with you about average height, I don't disagree because I want to, I disagree because I have the basis for it, the only thing I can't know or have access to is in relation to your experiences.
You can, if you want, adopt a skeptical but still intellectually honest stance, such as "scientific surveys cannot measure the entire population, so it is impossible to know exactly the average height, however it is the most effective method, but I maintain my impression that that the mean is higher even without good evidence for it".
My intention is just to show that our thinking about things cannot be reductionist.
And yes, I am also susceptible to making mistakes, following prejudices and having moments of insecurity about my height, but I manage to fight them by thinking about them calmly and rationally, as an activity of introspection.
No hate, just my two cents, I consider your height the beginning of tall height in Europe.

@tallish guy @Gian 181cm
I claim 6”0.5, or 6 foot and some change. Most guys my height round up to 6”1 though.
I’m from the UK, I would say I feel above average / tallish, but I wouldn’t describe myself as a “tall guy”. I would say a legit tall starts at around just under 6”2 and above (187cm+)

How do you accurately measure eye level? Would a tape measure in front a mirror from the floor to pupil be correct? If that's the case then mine is 176cm at 187.5cm.
Yes Henrik, that's the best way to measure eye level. Make sure the tape measure is directly in front of your eye (not too far right or left), and also use the mirror to confirm that your head is perfectly neutral. Tilting it even slightly will throw off the measurement.
Alternatively, you can try to measure the distance from your pupil to the top of your head, then subtract that from your overall height.

this “adrianjacobs” guy is clearly trolling idk why you guys still play into it, anyone that says 192 cm is “average” in any place of the world is delusional, the highest averages in the world are the netherlands and dinaric alps which average around 184-185 cm and even that’s a bit of a stretch..
Up until a few months ago I thought you guys were the same person, haha.

Met a well built guy the other night who claimed 6ft3. 6’3 is actually much taller than you would imagine and makes me wonder how many guys out there BS about being heights like 6ft6 for example.
