I see The Netherlands is still a topic of discussion here after all these years. It hasnt changed, Gen Z is shorter than Millenials. Our overall average for a man is 182.7 cm, 30-55 is more 183 range.

We dont have alot of short men, much rarer to see a 5'8" guy here than a 6'8" guy for instance. We have alot of super tall guys just walking around and with it being a small country you will see them alot.

@pov There was never a published 186 cm average, you just made that up. 183-184 cm was self reported and measured at 183.7 cm for 100 university students, not a good example. 181 cm was also self reported, but with 300,000 participants, so it's the most legit example. Also check out Jed's comment under Ann Coulter page, he's a legit strong 6'1" guy and felt taller than 7 out of 10 guys in the Netherlands and also thought that 5'11-6'0" is average in the NL.

@Emil Yes I could believe 182 cm range at most for Dutch. Or at least 181 cm. Scandinavians are very similar or at most 1 cm shorter.

Okidoki said on 28/Apr/23
@Sam83 Well, this is my personal opinion, most women i have seen don't want to be taller than 6'1 in heels, is my impression. It's kinda rare that i see women looking 6'2+ while wearing heels and from my experience, tall women tend to go for lower heels when they use them.

Most women say they use heels for the aesthetic part of it, how it makes them feel and how it looks from my experience. But in my opinion, it seems like most of them don't want to be over 6'1 in them, i guess probably to some degree, they care about how tall those heels make them too.

In average shoes, you are 6'0 in them, in 3cm shoes, you are 184 cm. In heels, i feel that few women will be taller than you.

I think taller women tend to go for lower heels in my opinion aswell.

pov said on 28/Apr/23
This is my opinion of what I consider Short, Average, and Tall in US / UK.
from a 184cm (6”0.5) guy perspective.

162cm and below = very short
163-168cm = legit & undisputed short
169 - 174cm = below average range / short ish
175 - 180cm = average range
181 - 186 = Upper average range / tall ish
187-192cm = legit & undisputed tall
193cm+ = very tall

Poster said on 27/Apr/23
@Okidoki: I always heard that sons get their moms' height genes and that daughters get their dads' height genes. That might just be a height forum urban legend, though. There may or may not be something to it. I believe it to a certain extent.

The older sister was bigger and stronger than her younger brother. Both were fully grown. They had different dads, though. Of course, she might have exercised more than him, but there was a definite size difference.

I should explain what I mean by "malnutrition". It's a case in which just the boy has a poor diet. His dad and his mom don't. That might explain the situation that the other forum contributor mentioned.

You need to pretend (pranker/blogger) and record video to comparing yourself to others (70-80-100 ones).

It's better to do on flat ground or mall!

In physical context, there's is almost 0% of avg in real ~6'1" guy like you!!!

P.S. Adrian, don't forget that tall
men/people doing better in getting jobs and socializing. Maybe it's a main reason why you see more tall people or taller than you.

No, your generation won't shrink. Your generation is a super-generation that doesn't go through natural biological ageing processes. Your generation stays young, fit and attractive for over 100 years.

James B 5ft8 said on 27/Apr/23
I asked my dad why my cousins ended up so much shorter than the mother and he said it’s because they have the fathers genetics.

James B 5ft8 said on 27/Apr/23
Okidoki said on 19/Apr/23
@Poster I have read that the mother's height genes are the most dominant, which is why it should be exceptionally rare for a son under average circumstances to be shorter. Under special circumstances though, yes, then it's still rare, but happens sometimes though. I think in most cases of malnutrition, the son will still be taller on average.

With that being said, it happens sometimes that the son is only 2-3 inches taller. Rob is for example 3 inches taller than his mother in her prime. Another personal example is of a female i know, she has a 5'11 mother and a 5'3-5'4 father. She is between 5'10-5'11, while her brother is around 6'1, only about 2 inches taller than the mother. I think it happens sometimes even under regular circumstances that the difference is just 2-3 inches, but that the son is shorter, i think has to be exceptionally rare in my opinion.

While with fathers, it's different. Although most sons are as tall or taller than their fathers, many sons are shorter than their fathers, it's relatively common in my experience too. But i think big differences are rare though. I know a guy who is 5'9, his father is 6'2 and mother around 5'3 for example.

Both bigger and stronger, does she work out? :P Yes, i guess that has to be very rare too if they have both the same parents though. There was a guy posing a question once if tall woman on purpose breed with short men, would they be as tall or taller in generations to come? It may be in this scenario that the average height would increase perhaps and maybe the difference between men and women would be smaller etc. But the reason why men would still be taller as explained, is because of the mother's dominant height genes, ensuring that men will almost always and usually be between 4-6 inches taller than their mothers.



I am about 2.5 maybe even 3 inches shorter than my dad was at his peak and in her prime I think my mom was 5’2 maybe? I know this sounds crazy but my younger brother I reckon is 4-5 inches taller than me. Did not inherit the tall genes from parents for sure.

Hi, I’m just over 5’11 (181) and just wondered how tall you think, or have noticed girls to become taller than you when wearing heels, particularly when they are high?

I know depends on heel height, but some are really high, like 6 inches, do you often find someone who is usually a lot shorter than you, suddenly becoming taller than you?
Just wondered if anyone had experienced this before, as I didn’t get chance to compare height exactly, but someone I know who claims to be 5’7 felt very close or taller than my height when they were in a pair of high platform heels, do you think this is possible they were taller? Thanks!

It seems like you clearly feel average and nothing more if you stop paying attention to statistics.

5'10.25" said on 19/Apr/23
@El gato Yeah 184 cm is realistically somewhere between average and tall. You could feel either at that height but saying you feel short unless in specific situations is insane.

pov said on 19/Apr/23
@5”10.25, that 183cm statement, is one study of many studies, and that was focused on a focus group for men aged 19. I’ve also seen a number of studies putting them as high as 186cm which is ridiculous, and as low as 182cm, which is also just as ridiculous.

So what makes you think they are only 181-182cm lol?! That is ridiculously low. That one study you mentioned claimed 183cm for 19 year old men. There is also a study the average dutch man born in the 80’s is 183.9cm (The Guardian). The world population review puts their average height as 183.78cm. (Which I think is the most accurate) And statistics Netherlands (government institution) puts their overall average height as 183.9cm. Trends do show their younger dutch generation are getting shorter, that’s where the 183cm study was shown and can back this. But their overall average is still pretty much around the 184cm mark

hi rob, i personally think a good feature that could be implemented on the site is recent listing changes, so we can see which celebs heights have been up or down graded. its like the recent comments page, but instead shows each height listing change sorted by newest date. just an idea if you'd like to keep the site on its toes a little more.

Darksol64 said on 18/Apr/23
@ Jdubbz

Yeah, funny how that works. It's probably psychological, and the fact that the eyes are our viewpoint and they are 4-5 inches down. If you could see from the top of your head that 6'4 dresser would probably look short-ish. and you'd certainly feel bigger than it.

Poster said on 17/Apr/23
@Okidoki: I think that it's both possible and rare. The son could be adopted. He could have some kind of disorder. He could have suffered from malnutrition. Other than things like that, it's anomalous. I met a brother and sister who were fully grown, and she was noticeably bigger and stronger than him. They had different dads, though. Maybe it's a situation like that.

Rockaway said on 17/Apr/23
I think the 6 foot mark is somewhat psychological and something we inherited from when people were shorter as a whole. That said, looking at the world as whole, there are many places where it is legit tall (India, China, Japan, etc) this forum tends to forget about the rest of the world outside Europe and NA. It’s also legit tall in most of South America. I wake up around 184.5cm and go to bed around 183cm. In the US, I can count on one hand the times I’ve felt average or shorter than avg. Usually at concerts. I’d say 7/10 situations I feel above avg, 2/10 times legit tall, 1/10 avg. its a borderline height but for someone like Adrian to be a weak 6’1 and claim to feel below avg, even in Sweden, is ludicrous. As is Italian guy saying he only feels tall and not very tall at just under 6’4.

viper said on 17/Apr/23
Definitely don't see 20s-30s white being as tall as 5-10.5 on average

Maybe 5-9.5-5-10

5'10.25" said on 17/Apr/23
@Pov Yes I agree, I'd also say solid average +/- 3-4 cm difference or 0.5 SD and tall at least 7-8 cm difference in height. So in most european countries tall height would begin at roughly at 184-185 cm. 187-189 cm in taller countries and 181-182 cm in shorter ones. Very tall probably as in standing out or being known as the tall guy probably 2SD or roughly 14 cm difference, so about 190-193 cm and extreme 198-200 cm +.

Jdubbz said on 17/Apr/23
@pov:

Oh also, consider that the average guy who is 6cm taller than you won't appear 6cm taller than your scalp, but 6cm taller than the top of your hair (unless they are bald). Visually it would look more like a 3" difference.

Jdubbz said on 17/Apr/23
@pov:

I agree in that I don't necessarily consider 6 foot solid tall (from my perspective), but I don't necessarily agree with your logic regarding the 6cm below your scalp measurement.

It would look much more noticeable if you drew a line 6cm above your scalp than below. You don't feel that much taller than a measurement 6cm below your scalp because it's still above your eye level. If I can't see over an object I don't feel much taller than it.

I have a ~6'4 dresser that is 6cm below the top of my head, and while I can tell I'm obviously taller than it, I don't feel tall compared to it. On the other hand, almost every single doorframe in my house is about 6cm above my scalp (205cm), and that difference is very very noticeable to me. I do actually feel kinda short next to it, and I'd feel kinda short next to a guy of that height despite the fact it's "only" a 6cm difference. It's weird how that works.

Emil said on 17/Apr/23

Agreed. Only places I've stood out height wise at 6'0" was in Latin America and South East Asia haha

pov said on 17/Apr/23
@adrianjacobs yes in Sweden I felt like a comfortable average range guy, never short, never tall, maybe on the higher end of average at 184cm, I think their average is 181/182cm. A number of reports put them between the 180-182cm range. In The Netherlands, I would say I was mid average range, I even felt short sometimes next to pockets of higher average range / tall people. Their average is a legit 184cm, backed by government measured stats. Truly are a nation of giants.

I'd say more overral population (add 1cm for younger guys):

Germany/Czech Republic/Slovenia: 178.5-179 cm
Ireland/UK: 176.5 cm

Italy, Portugal: 174.5-175 cm
Turkey: 173-174 cm

@pov generally it's 7-8 cm as tall , I'm about 185 cm afternoon and feel fairly tall. 10 cm would be more noticeable as its around my eyebrows. So for young guys 185-186 is tall and 188 maybe solid tall

Rory said on 16/Apr/23
Yh I'd give Terence Alexander near enough six foot peak. In the first series of Bergerac he could look about 2 inches taller than John Nettles but by the last series a decade later he'd obviously lost height and looked more 5ft11 nearing 70. Peak though at worst 5ft11.75,and the full six foot is very possible.

pov said on 16/Apr/23
@MaskDeMasque 5'9.5 @5”10.25

I agree you could argue that 6”0 is borderline tall, but I don’t get the obsession of why people say it’s the start of “tall”. Let’s say average is 177cm. That is 6cm below 6”0.

Measure 6cm below your scalp, and tell me if you feel tall against that measurement. You’ll feel slightly above average at most, maybe tallish. I don’t think it is the start of a legitimate “tall”. Of course the stats will you technically it’s tall, but I’m speaking from a common sense perspective.

In my opinion I think once a man reaches 187cm+ in UK / US you can start distinctly tell him from the average guy, longer limbs, longer build, etc. I think “tall” starts where the individual starts to become noticeably tall. People at this height and above would be referred to as “the tall guy”.

Poster said on 15/Apr/23
@James B: That's crazy! I thought that she might be 10 to 12 since her mom is almost a foot taller than her. You almost never see moms who are noticeably taller than their grown daughters or grown sons. Was she adopted?

Original said on 15/Apr/23
IMO low height: people in the 20s and 30s.

Netherlands/Nordic countries: 181.5cm
Germany/Austria/Slovenia: 180.5cm
USA whites: 179cm
UK: 178cm
France: 177cm
Portugal, Spain, Italy (overall): 176cm

Tall +7cm
Very tall +14cm

Okidoki said on 15/Apr/23
@Rob I am a bit curious to hear you're opinion about this.

If one looks at average height statistics, you will see sometimes that neighbouring countries, where they have similar genetics, have around a half inch disrepancy, upto 2 cm at times.

What could be the reason for this, is it because of mixing through generations of people in general, more immigrants or perhaps better lifestyle choices or a combination of all these factors etc?

Okidoki said on 15/Apr/23
@5'10.25" I see. In friuli, i am not sure that the average is really above around 179 cm. According to some of the best sources, 174-175 cm was the average for young men and according to some aswell, around 176 cm too. So, possibly Friuli could be in the strong 5'10 range maybe.

@Poster What's also interesting is that the son, which i would guess is a fully grown guy, is shorter than his mother by 3 inches.

I have so far never seen that before and if it's possible, i would guess that to be extremely rare though.

It's my impression that most people measure taller facing the wall compared to back to the wall. Does it also apply with stadiometer measurements?

If that's so, shouldn't height studies also take face to rod/wall measurements into account? Back-to-wall/rod isn't optim for everyone or vice versa

@adrianjacobs
I think you are at a good solid tall height. I used to slouch a lot and did not walk as upright as I should and yes I did not feel as tall as I should have when out and about in public places. I have worked on this over the last 4-5 years and my posture has significantly improved . At 187 cm I feel pretty tall. Do you have good posture ? If not then working on that may help.

@Tallish guy

Grow taller guru is full of s***

So is everyone who tries to convince you that stretching can make your bones longer (it CANNOT). It can arguably fix posture in some cases which makes you look taller in general.

The only way to lengthen your bones past puberty is through limb lengthening surgery (which is expensive as hell and a risky procedure)

James B 5ft8 said on 15/Apr/23
Poster said on 14/Apr/23
@James B: The daughter is only 5'1, but the mother is 6'0? How old is the daughter? That's a HUGE height discrepancy if the daughter is fully grown! Daughters are often the same height as or taller than their mothers when they're fully grown, and they're seldom shorter, so that's quite the anomaly if she's fully grown.


The daughter is 30

I would have excepted the son to be 6’3 yet he’s not much taller than me at 5ft8 and my moms only 5ft1-5ft2.

'The whole principle of exercise and stretching could be useful in trying to maximise height when growth plates are still open.'
What do you mean by maximising height? It's still strange because these 2 guys both gained 8 cm of height.How can you find 2 guys with exactly same growth rate?

MaskDeMasque 5'9.5 said on 15/Apr/23
@pov

Well, overall UK is 5'9 average and Rob has said young people are 5'9.5-5'10.5 on average. So if we say 174-176cm evening height overall and 176-178 evening height for young guys then yeh 6 foot is start of tall including all ages. It's 3 inches above. No one on here will disagree with the fact that 5'6 is short and that's 3 inches below average. For young people, yeh 6'0 is more borderline tall with maybe around the 6'0.5 mark being the start of tall for young guys.

@James B: The daughter is only 5'1, but the mother is 6'0? How old is the daughter? That's a HUGE height discrepancy if the daughter is fully grown! Daughters are often the same height as or taller than their mothers when they're fully grown, and they're seldom shorter, so that's quite the anomaly if she's fully grown.

I’ve had an extra good look at Jack and he sure does look 5ft10. He’ll have been 59 or 60 in 1955, when The Quatermass Experiment was made. I’d have had little idea when I watched Dixon of Dock Green as I was a child, and everyone looked tall.

For a man born in 1895 Jack WAS tall!

James B 5ft8 said on 14/Apr/23
I know someone who who mostly claims 6ft5 and once 6ft4 1/2 and he doesn’t look that huge or freaky at all in person ..Don’t get me wrong he’s a big tall guy but I would have expected a 6’4 or 6’5 man to look taller in the flesh. On nights out I have met a handful of guys that claim 6ft5 who look taller than he does.

Maybe it’s because he bodybuilds at the gym and weighs 237 pounds can make him shorter than he is.

Sandy Cowell said on 14/Apr/23
Please, Rob, could we have a page for Dixon of Dock Green actor, Jack Warner? I’m watching him in the 1950s thriller The Quatermass Experiment, in which he starred, amongst many other things. He lived for 85 years and 7 months and stood 5ft10”.

Thank you Rob!

@Darksol64 I'd say if you're below average to solid tall (173 cm - 189 cm), you should get a cheap old bmw 5 limo for the comfort. Driving due to many more drivers is a pain to begin with.

Hello Rob,
What do you think about Grow taller guru on youtube, is he scammer?
A couple years ago he made 'experiment' on two 18 years old guys and over year and a half they both managed to gain 10cm of height.Strange, because they were both growing at same growth rate every video.That experiment was like promotion for his 'grow taller program' which i also bought and there wasn't anything special to grow taller written, just things like eat healthy food, excerscise, sleep ect.

Hi everyone been a while since I’ve been on this page.

I just wanted to know what your perceptions of what “tall” is? I was never obsessed with height until I worked in the Netherlands and realised how gigantic they were in comparison to other countries.

I’m 6”0.5 (184cm) from the UK, I have also lived and worked in The Netherlands and Sweden.

I have never understood this phenomenon with 6”0 (183cm) being regarded as the start of “tall” in this day and age. I do believe it was “tall” back in the day when the average was a lot lower.

In The Netherlands 6”0 is 1cm below average (184cm official measured average) in Scandinavia and Eastern Europe it’s slightly above average with their averages coming around 181-182cm. In Europe in general including western, the general consensus is 190cm+ is tall.

In the UK and US the average is around 178cm, 5”10. Even here I don’t regard 6”0 as tall, but merely above average. I have never really been referred to as “the tall guy”.

I think we get too tied into stats when we decide what “tall” is, statistically speaking I’m tall. But from a common sense perspective, I’m not a “tall guy”.

I’ve always believed tall in the UK / US starts at around 187/188cm. A solid 6”1.5/6”2. And in Mainland Europe it starts at 6”3.

What do you guys think?

5'10.25" said on 14/Apr/23
@Okidoki I'm from Slovenia and the average here is 178.5 cm for the general population, 180 cm for younger guys. Similar or a hair taller than in Friuli.

5'10.25" said on 14/Apr/23
Also if Norwegians and Danes were measured at about 180 cm for men and 167 for women in the duration of at least a decade with 30,000+ participants (military conscripts) we can safely say that this is the most legitimate average. There are no large studies for Sweden but my guess would be they are of the same height.

5'10.25" said on 14/Apr/23
Dutch average 181 cm not 184 cm. People can't say they average 184 cm basing on a study with maybe 100 participants in an University, where upper class people go to study lol.

It's just doesn't matter what saying John, man ... It's impossible to felt avg at any height over 6ft, no saying about 6ft1in+ ... It's just physically nothing about avg or feel avg. Maybe in some countries you have higher prt% of tall people and these xxx heights gonna be lower than normal common percentage.

For example, if somebody about 6'2" like me will join to basketball team and next day gonna write here: "oh boy, I'm feeling short because of these guys was 6'5/6'7" ... I'm shortest person on this planet, man, i believe real avg is like 6'4"...".
But we can mentioned that avg father or avg boyfriend is taller than avg height or avg man, yeah ... But it's still trend in society, social media and capitalism or decadence of western economics ... or segmentation of economics, but this is different story!

By the way, Do you remember guy (years ago) from Boston who felt avg at ...6'2.5" ... Guys, do you remember him ?!

Sweden? Click Here

It seems that the average was 168.5cm for female, 182cm for male, not sure if low height tho, it can be 168cm and 181.5cm if you are conservative about it.

then...
189.5cm for a 1SD, percentile 84.4 = tall
196.5cm for a 2SD, percentile 97.5 = very tall

In resume if you are 6'2.5 you are tall in a 182cm country, if you are 6'5.5 you are very tall for a 182 country.

Like if the ideal attractive would be tall, but not very tall, then 6'2.5 to 6'5.25 is the most attractive height there.
Euro and Euro descent people as whole - not only Nordic/Dutch/N. German - I don't think it is over 179cm at a low tho, it can be in the 178cm range even. That makes 185cm to 193cm the most attractive heights take into account the tall range.

Hey Rob, do most people you encounter round their heights off, using the imperial measurments, to the nearest full inch or state their heights, using halves? For example, if one gets a measurement of between 6'0 and 6'1 (184cm) , what does he say his height is in imperial -6'0 6'0.5 or 6'1?

Another example is if one measures between 6'1-6'2 (187cm) , what do most people claim their height is out of the three options - 6'1, 6'1.5 or 6'2?

Darksol64 said on 12/Apr/23
on the subject of cars and height that I just saw pop up, I thought I'd throw in my new experience on the off-chance it helps anybody:

I just bought a tiny 1999 mazda miata all stock config. As a weak 6'2 guy (Though I have short-ish legs and long-ish spine for my height) I can say I just barely fit in comfortably. I sit about an inch under the roof with seat all the way back.

One inch longer of a spine though, and it would be difficult or require modification. My knees are really close to the wheel but that doesn't affect anything at all. Comfortable reach to all the controls. I wouldn't recommend this car for anyone 6'4 and up. 6'3 would only work if you have longer legs than me thus would have the same sitting height.

Since I like to wear my 2 inch running shoes and easily pass for near 6'3 with them, I'm waiting for someone to make a clown car comment with me getting up out of that thing in the parking lot. How the hell did you fit in there man?! XD

Okidoki said on 12/Apr/23
On a side note guys, it's interesting how in recent history Italians, Bulgarians, Macedonians and Albanians have been close to each other interms of average height, while Serbians, Bosnians, Croatians and Montenegrins have been among the tallest in the world. Slovenians are close too, to them though.

They all live close or relatively close to each other, in similar conditions and climate, except Slovenians in general, there the climate is different, also the mentality is in general somewhat different too.

Hey @italianguy! Since we are height twins when Did you stop growing? I know is not the same with every one but at 19 I growth about an inch and at 20 another one. I stop at 6'4 im 21 now is there a chance to growth another inch just curious form your expierence.

Jdubbz said on 12/Apr/23
@oren metser:

The issue with the overall average is that it's not a fair comparison. You wouldn't compare your height to a teenager who still has growth in the tank, so why would you compare your height to people who have shrunk at least an inch?

It seems to me (this is not directed towards you - I am not calling you out in any way), that those who compare their height to the overall population or even worse the worldwide population are a bit insecure and want to feel taller than they really are.

Rockaway, i wouldn't say 4 inches is towering yet. Definitely pretty noticeable difference you'll see. Over 5 inches is more towering imo.

I personally feel like I tower over someone when they're at my lower nose level. so 6-7 inch difference. A head difference is definitely towering and becoming dwarfing. Over a foot difference and it's dwarfing.

oren metser said on 11/Apr/23
The average in USA is actually 5'9 or 175cm, taking into account the entire male population.. The sources which point out otherwise , exclude the older population, thus making the average a bit more like 5'9 and a half (177cm) or almost 5'10.. By and large the sources, which point out 5'9 or 175cm, I guess, are more accurate for that reason.. Hope this helps!!!

Well when approaching people from 5ft 6 to 5ft 7 I feel pretty tall at 5ft 11 to be honest but that is a subjective experience and therefore mine but I can imagine feeling solidly tall at 6ft 4 next to 5ft 10-6ft guys.

By the way, I chose your height when asked once here on the forum what height we would like to be, I think 6ft3-6ft4 is an excellent height.

Had a weird experience today… saw the tallest women I’ve ever seen in my life 3 times all in one day today. All were 6’2”-6’3.5” range, one of them was 6’2” and her boyfriend was a couple of inches shorter. I haven’t seen a woman that tall since 2021 and today I saw 3 on 3 separate occasions 🤯

I've noticed that when I see guys taller than me, it happens a few times in the span of a day or two then doesn't happen again for several months. They also tend to be noticeably taller than me (at least 2 inches), and not just a bit.

I remember once back in grad school I saw a legit 7 footer/213cm guy and two 203-205cm guys all during my first day of class. Never saw anyone taller until November, nearly 3 months later. I'm ~199cm in the evening for reference.

Happy Easter! Rob, what height in imperials would oneclaim if he gets an in between value? For example ,if u r between 6'4-6'5 and in metrics something like 194-195cm in the morning and at night respectively, then what should one claim of the two ,if you take into account only full inches?

@Rob

Hey how accurate are wall mounted tape measure compact stadiometers in your experience? I recently got one that goes up to 220 cm but we installed it incorrectly, its a tad too high so it removes either 1/8 or 3/8 of your height.

I've measured myself multiple times with the help of someone raising it down and i always get close to 184 cm in the morning and just under 182 cm at my low. I'm starting to wonder if i put on some height after 18 and closer to 6 ft than i think.

Hey Rob, Luis Suarez is playing on the team I support, lately he's been giving me an impression of 5ft10 1/2 - 5ft11 on the field, 2 inches shorter than the coach on the team, the same person I sent a photo of earlier with a goalkeeper listed as 6ft5 (which is closer to 6ft4 actually).

Big Ben said on 9/Apr/23
I arrested someone yesterday who was listed as 178 cm on his ID. But due to his large body type he looked taller so when I saw him listed at that I had to size him up again and it turned out I was a little taller 😂

FYI I sized him up from a distance at first (I estimated him at around six feet) and after that I mainly paid attention to where he kept his hands. Everything can go very fast in those kind of situations

Well, both Bale and Cage are from countries where the average height even for young guys is 5'10 max - might be a smidgen under than that. And they honestly don't look THAT tall on screen lol. I mean, have you seen Bale next to 6'4" Liam Neeson in Batman Begins? He looks like a leprechaun in comparison. It's also rumored that Cage uses thick footwear occasionally to make him look taller than he is.

And, globally speaking, you're a very tall guy, Adrian. People from Scandinavia, the Netherlands, Northern Germany, and some Balkan countries are just extremely tall. The times I've been to London and some US cities, I was always surprised to see how much taller I suddenly was compared to the rest haha.

I didn't say they look THAT tall, which is not what I think either. I just can't imagine them being shorter than me, that's all. I'm pretty sure they are a fraction of an inch taller than what they are listed on here, especially Cage.

I'm big into weightlifting. I don't compete or do it for a living lol but it's still a lifestyle. Those guys it's mix of doing it so much plus steriods. I currently haven't lost any height yet. Certain free weight exercises will put more on the spine like squats, deadlifts, rows. I squat but stopped doing deadlifts. Yes after a workout you can hit a low faster. On days i go to work then gym. By 6-7pm I'm definitely at extreme low and i feel it til i lay down again.

Hello, Rob. Would the average height of each country decline 1.25cm to 2.5cm if every single person in the globe was accurately measured using a stadiometer? Especially if they would properly group regions from each country.

Jdubbz said on 8/Apr/23
Big Ben said on 6/Apr/23
This is going to sound random but I disagree with the assumption that weight lifting automatically causes early or greater height loss. It is only true if you are lifting recklessly (which to be fair, most people do). If you look at Arnold and Ronnie Coleman’s weight lifting videos there is no wonder they have lost so much height, Arnold was pretty much barbell rowing with his spine. But guys like Dorian Yates is in his 60’s and does not appear to have lost any height despite lifting weights his entire life. If anything, lifting with good form and not ego lifting should prevent height loss. However, I am in no position to criticise Ronnie and Arnold.

I don't know man...certain lifts like heavy squats and deadlifts do put a lot of pressure on your spine, and it is not uncommon to hit an extreme low after a few sets. Of course you recover, but it's hard to believe that type of strain wont affect your height in the long run.

Tawehret said on 7/Apr/23

Yes, I forgot about that term. Usually here when we meet someone who is not necessarily tall, but above average, we say "he is kind of tall", because hardly anyone would say "he is above average in height", at least in an informal conversation.
Tall and kinda tall are subjective concepts in general, although when we have information about average height it is possible to create a more objective argument about it.

@rlheight5'11
I remembered that in January I saw a 6'1-6'2 girl when I went to the football stadium, easily outgrowing most guys, but in general very rare, easier for me to find 6'6-6'7 guys.

That makes sense considering that a 6'1-2 woman is closer to a 6'7-8 guy in percentile than a 6'6-7 guy.

Hey Rob , if the average height of males in Israel is a tad over 5'9 (176cm) for folks between the ages 18-30 , then what's the average for the entire male population, I heard once that it is possible that it decreases to 5'9 flat (175cm).. What's your prediction? Thanks for your feedback!

Alex 6'0 said on 7/Apr/23
Progking185, yea 6'0.75 low id definitely say 6'1. You and jawilder are only 1/8 apart if that. Definitely could say 6'1 or about 6'1.

Alex 6'0 said on 7/Apr/23
Jdubzz, rounding up from 3/4 or even 1/2 i don't see a problem. At 17 i was 5'11.5. Sometimes I'd claim 5'11.5 or say almost 6'0

Gian 181cm said on 7/Apr/23
@Progking185
Got it, that's what I had in mind even though I never understood exactly.
You said you were about 181cm at 16, which range did you feel yourself in at that height?

Big Ben said on 6/Apr/23
This is going to sound random but I disagree with the assumption that weight lifting automatically causes early or greater height loss. It is only true if you are lifting recklessly (which to be fair, most people do). If you look at Arnold and Ronnie Coleman’s weight lifting videos there is no wonder they have lost so much height, Arnold was pretty much barbell rowing with his spine. But guys like Dorian Yates is in his 60’s and does not appear to have lost any height despite lifting weights his entire life. If anything, lifting with good form and not ego lifting should prevent height loss. However, I am in no position to criticise Ronnie and Arnold.

Progking185 said on 6/Apr/23
@Gian181 tallish is a slightly above average height(around 2 inches isn't that much) but tends to look a little tall in a crowd, like around taller than 75-80% of guys. Over that is into start of tall range but can appear slightly above average at times. I generally feel about 85th percentile so pretty tall but not that noticeable
@Glacier could be 6'0.5-6'0.75 if close to 6'2 in shoes

Hey Rob, what height claim is the fairest of all for someone who measures 184.5cm at 4 pm after going to bed at 00:00 AM and waking up at 10 Am? Considering being 6 hours out of bed, of the following 3 options - 6'0.5(184cm flat), 185cm Flat or 6'1 (185.5cm)?

Alex 6'0 said on 6/Apr/23
Rob, yea he always claimed 6'4. Gets a 6'2.5 dr measurement which he looks but then goes back to claiming 6'4. He wears boots 100% time so im guessing he measured 6'4 or about in boots and went with that.

Gian 181cm said on 6/Apr/23
@Rob
Yes, I forgot about that term. Usually here when we meet someone who is not necessarily tall, but above average, we say "he is kind of tall", because hardly anyone would say "he is above average in height", at least in an informal conversation.
Tall and kinda tall are subjective concepts in general, although when we have information about average height it is possible to create a more objective argument about it.

@rlheight5'11
I remembered that in January I saw a 6'1-6'2 girl when I went to the football stadium, easily outgrowing most guys, but in general very rare, easier for me to find 6'6-6'7 guys.

@Alex6'0 yeah, around afternoon when ive measured its usually 6'0.75 or around the 185 mark(shoes 6'2), so I just claim about 6'1 to people
@Ipabega, cbrady oh yeah, thats probably about right for their heights then.
@184cmguy you could grow maybe 3-5 cm, I think thats around average gain. For me I was around 181 at 16 and now about 185.

One my long time friends claims 6'4 still after even being measured 6'2.5 at Dr lol. Looking at him easily looks 6'2 but no way 6'4

That was literally me when I turned 18. Got measured 190cm (6’2.8) but up to that point I thought I was 6’4 and had been claiming it. I started claiming 6’3 after that, at least until I grew well past those heights several years later.

Darksol64 said on 5/Apr/23
@ 184cm guy

It's highly dependent on your growth rate and genetics but there's a strong possibility of more height. Especially if you are JUST turning 16.

I'm a weak 188 and there's a good chance you will edge me out by the time you are 18-21. A chance you could even peak somewhere 190-192.

It's also possible you will remain at 186 but this is less likely in my opinion. It's also possible you could hit a crazy peak and end up 195-200, but this is the least likely outcome.

If I was forced to bet money on a number, I would say you would probably peak at around 189, I'll say 189.5 to be exact, a solid 6'2 1/2 which is a great height.

oren metser said on 5/Apr/23

Gian 181cm said on 5/Apr/23
Rob, an honest doubt, in Portuguese perhaps the closest translation of tall-ish would be something like 'somewhat tall, in the sense that some may see as tall or above average, would that be the meaning of the word? At least I always understood it that way.

Yeah I agree, I see less and less women over 5'9, the percentage drops.

Just curious. How tall are rest of guys if the tallest one here is 6'3?

The guy in the middle is measured at 174cm? Doesn’t look like 174. From the photo, his top of the head looked aligned with the tallest guy’s chin which makes it look like he is 5’6. The middle guy was probably measured with shoes with pretty big lifts that makes him 174cm. I would say maybe the angle does make it hard to read the alignments but if I was to guess from this photo, I would say maybe the middle guy is 5’6, 5’6.75 for the fourth guy, 5’7.5 for the fifth guy and around 5’10 for the second guy since his top of the head is at the 6’3 guys eye level which is around 5 inches difference.

I believe Steven Schapiro could be 6'1 full and Jack Denmo barrely 6ft. 182 or 3 for Denmo and Steven 185 or 186.

A funny "short kings" height segment on Saturday Night Live the other night where Weekend Update anchor Colin Jost insists he's 6-foot, but he won't stand up to go back-to-back with the 5'7" co-hosts, Marcello Hernandez, who uses "we" the entire time making his rant. Marcello says he's tells everyone he's 5'9" which means 5'7.5"..."without the half". lol

I'd like to see Colin Jost added; I suspect he's 5'10"ish.

@Jdubbz
Ngl, based on the things people say here, and some of the celebrity listings I see here, I feel like 5'10 very often. That's why I uploaded a video me measuring myself to ask you if you could see any issues with my measurement.

I can't even begin to imagine how some of the actors listed here at around 6ft, like Nicolas Cage and Christian Bale are shorter than me. I'm almost completely sure that they would be at least eye to eye with me if I met them.

__________________________________________

Well, both Bale and Cage are from countries where the average height even for young guys is 5'10 max - might be a smidgen under than that. And they honestly don't look THAT tall on screen lol. I mean, have you seen Bale next to 6'4" Liam Neeson in Batman Begins? He looks like a leprechaun in comparison. It's also rumored that Cage uses thick footwear occasionally to make him look taller than he is.

And, globally speaking, you're a very tall guy, Adrian. People from Scandinavia, the Netherlands, Northern Germany, and some Balkan countries are just extremely tall. The times I've been to London and some US cities, I was always surprised to see how much taller I suddenly was compared to the rest haha.

Hi Rob,

I have looked at this YouTuber name MARKO who makes custom sneakers to celebrities and I would like to hear your analysis or insight on his height. He has made a custom sneaker for David Schwimmer whom you have listed at 6’1 and standing next to David, he could look taller maybe by 1 or 2 inches. I personally believe he could be 6’2-6’3 but I am not entirely and I thought that I would have the right expert you Rob to see if MARKO is at least 6’2 or maybe close to 6’2 or 6’3. I will provide the instagram photo. Do you believe MARKO is at least 6’2 or different? You can also provide other analysis if you found other evidence as well.

I'm a strong 5ft11, I can go months without seeing a woman taller than me walking around town (considering I have a routine of places I go obviously), in college there are a few girls that have surpassed me, they're probably 6ft - 6 ft1, that's 2 or 3 girls, and I remember some girls 5ft 10-5ft 11.

I don't remember women +6ft1 in the last few months.

definitely women 5ft11+ are rare in my view, 5ft10 is uncommon but not rare, and 5ft6 - 5ft9 is the most common tall zone (average here for women is 5ft3 1/2).

That's my experience as well. I'm a strong 6'0 and can usually walk around crowded city centers for hours without seeing any women taller than me. If I see a woman taller they usually just barely edge me out, 6'2+ is very rare.

There's a 6'0 woman at my job. I feel like we're exactly the same height or maybe I slightly edge her. She is in her mid-50s and claims 6'1. In her prime I can believe that she was a legit 6'1.

@Okidoki: You ALMOST never see women shorter than 5'2 in the tall section of town. You might encounter them here and there, now and then. 5'0 women might be about as rare as 6'0 women in the short section of town. My guess is that 5'3" is the "short average" and 5'6"(?) is the "tall average".

The 6ft2 woman debate is hot right now. In England it's on the rare side I believe. I'm 173cm and I'm a good chunk taller than most women. 5ft9 an 10 women I see on a daily basis. Sometimes 5ft11 and 6ft. I'm also taller than a decent portion of men in England. Most lie or simply don't know their heights. I also believe the statistics on height are either self reported or measured closer to a morning height. For example if England's average for all ages is 175cm I think it will be closer to 174cm at night. So for men the average height range will be 171cm -182cm. Anything above or below that is starting to get tall or short. Just my observations.

Okidoki said on 24/Mar/23
@adrianjacobs I don't know why you jump to conclusions like that. I don't really like when people take me for being a stupid guy who can't differentiate between things.

Yes,i know the difference between prportions and actual height and i have been long enough interested in height to know the differences.

A 5'7 will typically have noticeably different proportions than a 5'9 and especially a 6'1 guy. Just look at Messi and Van Damme, Eric Bana and Willis, Zlatan and Lukaku and other examples.

But yeah, being good at seeing proportions still help though.

No, my first impression in that picture you have was around 182-183 cm. But if you are 6'1, you are 6'1. What you are matters more in this context.

Even people who don't know heights, can see people who are 190 cm+. in my opinion, you don't need to understand height to manage to see that. Most people don't think a 185 cm looks like a 190 cm for example.

@Poster Ahh, i see. Interesting that you never see women shorter than 5'2 in that part of town, because i remember once you're argument with Jdubbz that visually, 5'1 women look very short to you and to a lot of people. Has that part of town influenced you're view on that or do you just see it more from an objective perspective? Seeing 6'0 women here is relatively uncommon, but not rare until 6'1-6'2 range in my experience.

@Mariana I am from Scandinavia but i don't want to say more, if you don't mind. Nice name, i knew a girl from one of my Mexican friends with the same name.

I personally don't really like to generalize, people are different. Yes, the personalities of people to a certain degree can get impacted by how tall they are.

Some people can develop confidence and some people can develop insecurities too.

But from my personal experience, 5'4 is amongst the best heights of women, most women i have met in these heights can often seem more engaged in things, kind of energetic and passionate.

I think 5'4 women look more similar to 5'5 women than 5'3, proportion wise. Both 5'4 and 5'5 heights look around average and have a similar "look" to them too. While in my opinion, i think 5'2 and 5'3 women tend to look more similar proportion wise, in my experience.

For example, i also think proportion wise, 5'6 women tend to look more similar to 5'7 women, while 5'8 women more similar to 5'9 women and 5'10 women more similar to 5'11 women. There is an inch of a difference in either direction up or down, but from my experience, i feel it tends to be like this.

It could actually be the 99.5 percentile for the whole country. I live in a tall part of the country though. If it's 99.5% for the whole country, it could be maybe 96th percentile in the part of Stockholm where I live, which would make 1 out of 25 women 6'2.

@Darksol64: That's really wild! It's like your experience goes against what people think of as common knowledge and conventional wisdom when it comes to height. "Older people are always shorter than younger people." "Very tall women are much rarer than very tall men." It might be time to rethink things. For example, I think that 5'5" is the real average height now, not 5'4". It might be 5'7" in some countries. That's taller than male averages in some countries!

@Okidoki: It's not unheard of the see 5'9 or 5'10 women at some stores in the "tall town". It's rather rare to see women over 6'0, but it can happen from time to time. A 6'0 woman in the "tall town" might be the equivalent of a 5'9 woman in the "short town". You also almost never see women shorter than 5'2 in the taller section of town (a better phrase, really).

Mariana said on 23/Mar/23
@Okidoki Yes, I have mexican heritage. And what about your nationality?
The closest people around me call me a stadiometer because they know I guess their heights and the heights of other people, absolutely exactly 💯. I guess based on the height difference they have with me, they have with other people and based on their body proportions of course.
What do you think in particular about a solid 5'4 women? How do they look to you? How can you describe them for example what is the difference in their proportions or in aesthetic of them comparing them for example with their neighbors 5'3 and 5'5?
It's interesting to hear from a male perspective, who analyse good human height.
And too what do you have noticed that the majority of solid 5'4 women have (personality trait)?
And yeah as for your question I noticed that phenomenon too that the phrase "Tall queen" and "Short king" is a really common thing to hear nowadays.

Maybe some day i will record video walking around people or photos to compared them.

Idk, but you would feel any difference over 3cms! No saying about ~5cms - it's when even body proportions is different to yours! General avg seems like 173-178, but for a young crowd is 175-180cms max.

Yup, there we have it. You estimate height based on proportions and not how tall they are, that's why you're not estimating correctly. You are not aware of the fact that people have different proportions at the same height.
You saw the photos of me in a crowd, didn't you? You did see the video where I measured myself also, because you commented on it. You would have called me 5'10 or 5'11 because of my proportions. Why don't you think it's the same with everyone else?

I have the same thing going on in our little town (population maybe 20,000) I feel like a half-giant as a weak 6'2 guy wearing 2 inch running shoes. I'll be looking above the heads of most guys I come across. Stats say 1 in 16 guys or so should be taller but I swear it's closer to 1 in 100 here, often times I can go to a busy store and be the tallest guy out of 200.

There's other abnormalities too; I see 5'8-5'10 females much more often than I do 6'2+ guys. The Taller guys that I do see are almost always older, over 55. Most the guys I see in their 20s are typically 5'6-5'9 range, with even 5'10 being relatively uncommon.

Then on the flip side I go to a "taller" area, I can start feeling barely above average height not standing out whatsoever.And it's not just dumb luck, it happens consistently.

@Poster I like the way you call it, the short town and the tall town :P

I understand, interesting. Maybe the white people between the short and the tall part have different origins, for example the short have more of the British,French etc, while the tall have more of the Germans etc? What's the tallest women you usually encounter in the tall part?

Here in Scandinavia for example, if most of the people in that region are ethnic Nordic people, atleast according to the stats, the biggest discrepancy in height is around an inch. I don't know why, people's genes have been mixed throughout time in different countries, maybe that's an explanation. Because both are ethnically the same race. I don't think atleast in this case, it's because of the living conditions.

@adrianjacobs

6’2”, 21 year old woman in Sweden is in the 99.5% height percentile according to numerous online resources. You seriously need to stop trolling or see a doctor for your bizarre height delusions.

My mom who’s is 5ft1 made fun of my dads height (he’s 5’10 legit) when he stood next to his 6ft5 friend once.

I guess there are some situations when 6’4 and 6’5 guys can look better than 5’10/5’11 men. I was reading some comments on instagram today when they were saying snoop dog made David Beckham look small and likewise there were comments about Tom Brady making Beckham look short.

@Bislimi about start of tall in general, above average/tallish for young guys. Good height

@Discord looks like you are 176-177 there but looking at your measurement pic your about 178. Maybe the guy is 193+

In case I really am 5'11 (I really don't know how I could be measuring myself wrong though), is there any way of compressing the spine so that I could become 1-2 inches shorter?
If I use a heavy backpackfor long walks during a period of time, could that make me lose some height?
Seriously, I really don't want to be anywhere near 5'11. I'd rather just be 5'8 or 5'9.

Okidoki said on 22/Mar/23
@adrianjacobs Yes, i estimate based on proportions and how people look beside other people too though.

Okidoki said on 22/Mar/23
@Mariana, Ah,ok. Yes, you're height is very good. like you said, the health is the most important ofcourse.

As for women, people have different tastes, it depends on other things than height too. In my opinion, i think because of the more liberal philosophies of most western countries now where femininity and Masculinity is much less traditional then before, as a result, tall women have become even more popular in my opinion. It's also much more accepted than before now too that a guy or the boyfriend is shorter than the girlfriend, in my experience. They more commonly use expressions like "tall queen" or "short king" in the media too now, if you have noticed.

They call you miss stadiometer? :P You're name sounds Mexican, are you Mexican perhaps? You speak a bit Swedish i see, hehe. I am from Scandinavia and we understand each other, Swedes, Danes and Norwegians, you know.

@Adrianjacobs I respect you're opinion. Yes, 6'2 in some periods, i can see almost everyday, but usually, it's upto a week or month if i don't walk that much around the centrum. But 6'3 no, not in my experience.

6'4+ is definitely extremely rare in my experience too.

You can try to hold the tape measure and look at it and then turn you're head to look at the mirror to see if you are around 185 cm, you will be within 1 cm if you do this.

Rob, do you agree that between 150 cm 4'11 and 200 cm 6'7 is the normal human height. Under 150 cm is a dwarf (sorry to say it because every height of humans is from God,but I have to, because I have to explain my point of view) and over 200cm or 2 metres is a gigant. I know that some of the people here will be more lenient saying 140/130cm- or 210/220cm+. But what's your opinion regarding this topic Rob?
Editor Rob
It covers a very large percentage (95%) of humans.

_________________________________________

It has to cover more than 95% of all humans. It covers more than 99% that's for sure - even more if we include children and older people

@adrianjacobs Do you actually see several 6’2 women every day? If Big Ben reads this can you attest to what Adrian is saying? I live in a major city in America, and I can go without seeing a 6’2 woman for months. That’s absolutely insane.

interesting reading comments everyone is taller than me

Sandy Cowell said on 22/Mar/23
Wow, Rob! David Dickinson has just introduced an edition of Real Deal and he was taller than everyone else he was intermingling with, males included. Sure he must be six feet and a strong one at that!
