General Height

Matt99 said on 7/Dec/24
@Jonus I too had some growth, I reckon at 23-25 I put a bit more height. I went from (night) flat 5’9/5’9 1/8 to 5’9 3/8 - 5’9.5 (night). I began to exercise again at 23 by running and going to the gym x3 a week. Maybe it was improved posture or my last bit of growth I’m not entirely sure, but I’ve definitely put on height regardless!

Rob, is the measure app on my iPhone accurate for height check ? I am 6’1.5-6’2 and it mostly appears 187-188. What u think Rob ?

Vick said on 5/Dec/24
Hey Alex,

You and I are close in height (I’m little shorter), have you ever got down to 5’11.75 at a low? There are times I can retain 6’0, but I’m busy days and carrying a backup full of books, I’m consistently measuring 11.75.

185.5cmJeff said on 5/Dec/24
Hey it’s good to have you back @Jonus, and interesting to see that you have grown as well, like you I’m 27 and exactly the same height as you, my out of bed height is touching 6ft2 (187.5cm) I’ve noticed from the age of 22-27 I am now 0.5cm taller, it could be posture related on my end tbh with you, in most shoes I’m just shy of 6ft2.25

@Connor
Hi Connor it’s Jeff, I agree with you about the generations below us seeming to be taller but I am from the south of England and at 6ft1 still to me the average seems around 5ft9.25-5ft.75 I wouldn’t go any higher or any lower with 5ft9.5 being a middle ground, I have 3 friends who are much much taller then me, one 6ft7 and two 6ft8 friends, of course when I’m next to them in pictures I look small but that’s because they are probably in the less than 1% of the population taller than the rest, which isn’t common. Even though when around them I’m 6ft2.25 in shoes.

So it’s all based on perspectives really, but I can’t agree with 30% of men are 6ft tall, or taller, this is coming from someone who frequents to bars and clubs 2/3 times a week and living in a big city in the uk I can’t see it being 6ft at all, unless they are in shoes like Nike with lifts.

@Rob would you say a lot of the time height is distorted because we go from our eye level which is much different from our actual height. My eye level is around 4.75 inches so it ranges anywhere from low 173cm-173.5cm.

I’ve been on this site for around 12-13 years I don’t post much, but I thought I would give my opinion as I am not far from 6ft.

Good to see you back also Rob.

Del Mar said on 5/Dec/24
Thanks Rob. Based on our footwear, would you say the two of us look 1.84 and 1.83 respectively, with PG?

Not sure where you get your facts from, but the average height in Northern Germany is significantly above 5'9.5

And 5'10 in the NL? That's the average height in the UK and France lol.

the average height for northern Germany is 5'11 or slightly above like 5'11.25

and in netherlands the average height is a solid 6'0

these are measured facts so please ....

I’ve been to Flensburg and Kiel some times before by car, and I felt almost average at 177 cm. I don’t think the average height overall for males is 5’11 range. Maybe 5’10.5 range max.

If i have small head does it mean i have high eye level?

75Mike said on 3/Dec/24
Should I claim my height lying down or standing up? I measured it at 186 or a little below it in the evening, using the aerosol can method. Though when I did it lying down I got somewhere between 186.5 - 186.6. Is this just a case of poor posture? Granted it was a day where I was lugging around a heavy backpack for a good portion of the day, and my upper back was in pain, but I was still trying to maintain good posture when standing. I know you've made a video about measuring when lying down, but I'm still unsure whether I could reasonably claim that height.

Jonus said on 3/Dec/24
Glad to see the comments are back up - Hope you're well Rob. Been on and off this site for quite a bit, but I'd like to give an update on my height.

At 18 years old I was 183cm 6ft tall, I would drop to 182.7 on hard days, but pretty much 6ft tall, or a strong 183 for the majority of the time. Was happy but not satisfied with it, I wanted more and I knew my body was still growing and developing as I saw all the signs, so I wanted to maximise my height potential - so I researched.

27 years old now, I went out for about 7 hours came home and measured 185.6cm on my seca stadiometer. I was aghast. Fair to say I grew a little in the past couple years and makes sense tbh; from late teenage years to adulthood a (realistic) final little bit of growth.

I now claim 186cm without hesitation.

Very happy and actually quite satisfied with 186cm.

Gianni 5' 7 said on 3/Dec/24
At 5 ft 6 3/4 (169.5 cm five hours out of bed) I just feel below average here in Northern Italy (like 28-30th percentile from my observations). I'd say that the average for the whole male population is about 5 ft 8.5 (174 cm), certainly no more and maybe a fraction under that mark. Things change if we consider the young crowds: amongst them I start feeling short. I'd say I'm about 20th percentile when I'm amongst guys who are 20-22 years old. The average height for young italians is probably 176 cm (5 ft 9 1/4)

The average for young males in Northern Germany is about 5'9.5. I have seen lots of comments from delusional people who claim the average is like 6'2 in Northern Germany which is bs. I know that the average is 5'9.5, and nothing more. I am 6'5 and i very rarely see anyone taller than me. Netherlands average is a bit more, about 5'10.

I agree with Matt Shannon, Tom Kenny would be a good add. He was in a film with Adam Sandler called shakes the clown, he looked an inch taller than Adam so 5'10.5-5'10.75 range seems likely for Tom.

Hi Rob!

I was measured at 5'9.5" at the doctor's office around lunchtime. Most people tell me that I'm 5'9". In some situations I feel short, in others I feel average. I'm not sure if I'm 5'9.5" or 5'9.25", so I usually claim 5'9". Do you think I'm closer to 5'9.5" or 5'9.25"?

Progking185 said on 26/Nov/24
@Ethan1724 I'm like 186.7/6'1.5 morning and I claim 6'1. Your definitely 6'1, noone will tell if you fall a couple mm below at night
@martin17 that's a pretty high eye level, I've measured mine at 13 cm range or 5.25 inches which is on the low side for sure lol. I feel about 6'0 sometimes but when measured I'm definitely close to, if not 6'1

Hey Rob. How could i measure myself easily by myself? I find it very hard to do alone. I always get inaccurate measurements. Only thing i know for sure is that my eye level height is roughly 180cm. So i guess i should be in 192-194cm zone? I usually measure around that range.

Ethan1724 said on 24/Nov/24
Hey rob I start the day off at 187.4 cm and by the evening I’m usually between 185.2-185.5 cm depending on how active I am during the day. Would you say I’m a weak, decent or strong 6ft 1? I’m also 17 years old and I turn 18 next April. Do you think I have a chance of reaching 187-188 cm range?

martin17 said on 24/Nov/24
I must have a really high eye level. I've measured myself at above 187 cm in the morning and usually stay at or very near (within 0.5 cm) of that mark during most of the day. Though when I stand next to my 178 cm friend I can clearly see over the top of his head (not including his hair), and from what I've understood the average eye level distance is over 11 cm for men, 10 cm at the low end.

Gianni 5' 7 said on 24/Nov/24

Rob, I wake up 176 and go to bed 174. Around 5 hours after bed I measure 174.6-174 depending on what I was doing. My lowest night height is 173.6.
Do you think it would be fair to claim 5'8.75? Or should I go with a 174 flat?

Dominic Sessa of The Holdovers would be a good addition. Again, Charlie Hofheimer would be too

Jake: 1.84 m - 1.85 m said on 19/Nov/24
Hey Rob,

A few solid suggestions below who I think would make for great additions:

Lawrence Dane (Canadian actor in a plethora of classics incl a fair amount of now vintage horror such as Scanners)

John Larch (great character actor in Play Misty for Me etc)

Charlie Hofheimer (has been discussed on the Corey Hawkins page - good character actor, memorable roles aplenty)

Sam McMurray (looked similar to Cage in Raising Arizona)

Nikesh Patel (looks at least 5ft 11 in shows like The Devil's Hour)

Chase Stokes

Gerardo Celasco (Swimming with Sharks, films like Moneyball. Looks taller than Finn Jones who you've met, and gets listed at 6ft 1).

George Young (Malignant)

Richard Cabral (Mayans)

Alex Neustaedter

Dennis O'Keefe (in classic noirs)

Jared Abrahamson

Cheers

George89 said on 3/Oct/24
Yes, many studies that measure human height are often conducted earlier in the day, which tends to result in measurements closer to a person's "morning height." This practice is because height fluctuates throughout the day due to spinal compression. When a person is lying down overnight, the intervertebral discs rehydrate and expand, leading to a taller height in the morning. As the day progresses, the force of gravity compresses these discs, leading to a gradual reduction in height.

By conducting height measurements in the earlier part of the day, researchers aim for consistency and to minimize the impact of daily height variation. It provides a more standardized value that better represents an individual's maximum potential height, rather than one influenced by the compression effects that increase throughout the day.
So then I asked.. so could the night time heights be 1 or 2cm lower than the recorded averages.

Exactly. For most adults, the difference between morning and evening height can be around 1 to 2 centimeters due to spinal compression over the course of the day. Therefore, if the height recorded in a study is measured earlier in the day, you could reasonably estimate that the person would be about 1 to 2 cm shorter by nighttime. This variation depends on factors like age, hydration, physical activity, and overall spinal health, but a 1-2 cm reduction is a typical range for most people.



I asked chatgpt about human height studies. This is the answer which confirms what I've thought before. I'm 5ft8. Full range of height goes between 173.8cm down to 172cm at my absolute low. Maintain 172.5 most of the day.

In the UK I feel the average isn't the full 178 or 177cm at night. My thoughts are 174 or 173cm amongst the older crowd and 175 or 176cm for the younger crowd at night.

For context my brother goes between 180 and 178cm and always looks a solid high average height.

@RobPaul does your observations follow a similar trend?

Cooper Clarke said on 3/Oct/24
@Rob Yeah Simon's very tall. He's definitely the tallest out of the current Wiggles. He looks a couple inches taller than Lachy who's listed as 6’1 on Google. Simon himself is listed at 6’2 but from what I've seen there's defo more than an inch between them. (Google's not always reliable but I didn't have anything else to really go off of so I can only mention those listings for now) Either Lachy's shorter than 6’1 or Simon's taller than 6’2 and I wouldn't be surprised if it was more the latter. Murray Cook (the OG Red Wiggle before Simon took over) claimed 6’4 once as well and is generally listed between 6’3 and 6’4. Pretty sure that Simon even joked that he looks like Murray cause they're the same size, I mean they both wear red and they're both quite tall.

@Rob

Hi Rob. I measure 178.4 cm first thing in the morning, and 176.8-177 cm at night. Would I be listed at 5'9 3/4 or 5'9 7/8 on your site? Is this considered average height?

My morning height is 178.6. Tallest I ever measured right out of bed with anterior pelvic tilt which I still have even I go to the gym 6 times weekly was like 178.8. My low height is always either flat 177 or a few mm over it, and my extreme low is 176.5 cm after a tough leg workout , sometimes even 176.4.

So we are both 177 cm. I’d rather want the 5’9 7/8 listing. Since it’s a unique listing.

Cooper Clarke said on 1/Oct/24
Rob have you ever looked into the Wiggles' heights by any chance? I was obsessed with the OG's as a kid and they've become quite popular over the past few decades or so. Even to this day with the current gen they haven't stopped being successful, even making #1 on Triple J's Hottest 100. A fair few of these guys are listed on Google as well over 6ft tall. I can imagine them being on here at some point in the future.

How about the comedians Stewart Lee and Richard Herring, Rob? I've seen 5'11.5 listings for stew and this looks about right, he looks above average height. Richard has claimed 5'7 but he looks a good 5 inches shorter than Stew so I'd so about 5'6.5 for him, plus in photos he looks slightly shorter than legit 5'7 guys.

Such players include Isaac Jones (P.I.T. height of 6'8 vs. combine height of 6'7.75 without shoes), Enrique Freeman (P.I.T. height of 6'7.5 vs. combine height of 6'7.25 without shoes), and Nae'Qwan Tomlin (P.I.T. height of 6'8.5 vs. combine height of 6'8.25 without shoes).

Welcome back, Rob.


I know I've mentioned him before but Tim Robinson is going to be in a film with Paul Rudd and in production shots Tim looks about half an inch taller so I think a 5'9.5 listing would be good for him.

@c-mo 5'9.25
Seems like a Big gap between 1.80 and 1.95 tbh i dont know really , honestly life after 1.95 ain't so easy so 1.95 is pretty damm tall.

1.80 seems like the better option if You dont like to standout in a crowd , having a hard time gaining muscle and fit in places like airplines.

Now being 1.95 and jacked/good muscle body is awesome for sure, also great height for sports.
And people respecting You, just by height is real.

Darksol64 said on 24/Sep/24
@ Caleb/Canson: Wow, he is certainly standing over Shaq in that picture! Has he possibly dropped to even 6'10.75 or something here? Or really low 6'11 range at best.

I'll certainly agree with the 6'11.75 peak figure, he never looked strongly into the 7 ft range like Richard Kiel who was legit 7'1.5

To be sure, I have no problem with him claiming to be part of the 7 footer club. Obviously 6'11 and change is close enough!

It’s my current max, I don’t care about the certain heights to be honest. I like my height and I’m comfortable with being 177 cm. 180 cm is not much different from my height anyway, so my height would technically be close to be the best male height anyway.

This maybe more suitable for the perceived heights page idk.
There’s an interesting article easily available on the internet about Arnold Schwarzenegger and perceived height.It talked about how subconsciously people estimate height from someone’s shoulders and not the top of the head. They call it ‘hanging shoulders’. It is a subconscious cue people use to estimate a height.people may ignore the bottom of the feet and assume the point where the ankles is the point of origin to someone’s height.

My perceived height is 181-181.5cm,and my actual low is usually 179.5. Is that why people commonly refer to me as tall and guess me at around 6 feet? I think good posture and certain proportions like a long neck or a big head can make you look a little taller.

Sometimes tall women can be bullied for their height. Or they just don't like hearing comments about being tall. For example, they used volleyball comments as ad hominems against the 5ft 10 (1.78m) anti-feminist YouTuber Pearl Davis. Although tall guys can hear basketball comments too, but it seems maybe it can be worse for women, IDK. Funnily enough, I saw a 6ft 7 (2m) YouTuber engage in the volleyball bullying of Pearl. 🤔 That's why I was surprised to hear that tall women add extra inches; I kind of thought being too tall as a woman was a bit of a 'negative' thing that caused the need to work on their self-confidence.

But yeah, Taylor Swift is 5ft 9 and claims 5ft 10 (1.78m) as well as 5ft 11 (1.80m), so I guess tall women can develop confidence to inflate their height.

I'm somewhat surprised that tall women add inches to their height too. I guess that Henrik and I aren't around women like that. I know short girls who add inches to their heights, though. A 5'0 girl claimed to be 5'4!

Hi Rob, what’s your take the beginning of tall in cm in the U.K?

Nik Ashton said on 1/Dec/23
Our female friend popped into see us yesterday and she claimed to be 5’11”!

Nik Ashton said on 1/Dec/23
@ pov - 6’0” is still tall and 5’11.5” is maybe tall too. Average is 5’8”-5’10.5”. There are more taller people than in years gone by but the average hasn’t changed by as much as people think.

John 6'0.75 said on 1/Dec/23
@ c-mo 5'9.25

You're right, the most balanced proportions are in the 5'11 range, and this is very apparent in real life.

I think a compromise between good proportions and sufficient height is generally achieved at anything between 183cm and 186cm, although the midpoint of 184cm to 185cm would be the maximum to strike this balance. This is especially pertinent to overall head size.

It's difficult of course to negate bias - but it's easier to assess heights similar to one's own with greater accuracy.

Gibson Bradford said on 30/Nov/23
Rob, I measure at 6'1"3/4--6'2" right out of bed, then shrink down to 6'1" or 6ft 7/8 of an inch by the end of the day....absolute lowest after walking and running was a millimeter over 6ft 3/4 of an inch. Can I just claim 6'1" no problem?

@Sagenn "usually you would find a lot of attractive and socially active people accross your way espacially in small clusters such as parties, bars and affluents neightboorhoods, and of course they're taller, healthier and are disporportionately more to be seen in those nightly contexts than they are in daily life so effective average will clearly differ from the 177-178 official western countries numbers. in my experience, healthy/socially active people i've talked about are more around 180-181 or even 181-182 at a low. being a college student who is used to go out quite a lot i just cannot stick with the conventional 5'10ish, this is why i would set up my tall benchmark somewhere around 188-189"

Do you realize how disrespectful you sound? What if I started saying that socially active people are more white than non-social people? Would that sound okay to you? Height and skin color are both things you have no influence over.
You also must be European if you think it's fine to generalize attractive and non-attractive people in this kind of way.

@John 6’0.75, as mentioned to @Progking, I think tall should be decided from a common sense point of view, as opposed to stats. We get too tied into them, and from there technically anything above average can be argued as tall, even though in real life a 180cm guy wouldn’t even be described as a “tall guy” if you know what I mean. Even me at 184cm, no one really describes me as “the tall guy”. I think 187cm is the start of a proper tall IMO.


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


@pov

I get the point you're making, but I wouldn't say that anything above average could technically be considered tall, and that's why statistics are important. If a given average range is 5'9 - 5'11 then 6'0 surpasses high average, and whilst debatable as to whether this appears sufficient to be considered the starting point of tall, statistically speaking it isn't.

The 184cm/185cm range I would argue becomes more than just tallish, it's only going to stand out moderately, but looks tall in real life in my opinion.
But 1 standard deviation above the mean will be seen as tall in the general population.

In Holland, Scandinavia, and parts of the Balkans I could say that at 190cm I'm never known as the tall guy.
If I were 187cm in these regions it would place me in the average range - so it's all relative.

@Darksol64

I didn't know 5ft 10 (1.78m) women added inches to their height. That is very tall for a woman, equivalent to a 6ft 3-4 (1.90m+) man. Usually when a woman that height tells me her height, I'm inclined to believe it without any suspicion. That is interesting. I would have thought if anything, they'd downgrade.

@Henrik

I have some experience with the numbers game there and dating, haha.

Have dated a girl that claimed to be 6 ft and I was damn near looking over her head, and that shouldn't be the case as I'm a strong 187 weakish 6'2 with a 5'9 and change eyeline. My online profile I just put 6'1 so I guess she was probably surprised when I showed up near over 4 inches over her, especially if she thinks she's 6'0 and was about to date a 6'1 guy haha. When she's like 5'10 at best in reality.

Few years later did a date with a short girl probably 5'1 and she tells me I'm the tallest guy she's ever been on a date with. I'm thinking to myself really? Sure I'm a good 4-5 inches above average but still a good 2 inches under the very tall range which is like 1/50 guys. Oddball statistically or maybe she just hasn't been with many guys. r was a subtle innocent compliment.

Fun times, either way.

I have an associate that I see from time to time who always claims to be 6ft6 so I assume he’s being honest. I am only 5ft7.5-5ft8 but last time I saw him up close he did look exceptionally tall sure but not freakish or anything like that.

Met some guys before who claim 6ft5 that give a taller impression than my friend. I’d be surprised if he turned out to be only 193cm though because why would a 6ft4 man feel the need to claim 6ft6?

Hello Rob, How much do you think these 2 shoes add?

pov said on 28/Nov/23
@HarrisBhatti, basing it on a +10cm range. E.g. short 167cm, average 177cm, tall 187cm. In between these figures you also have ranges, e.g shortish, below average, above average, tallish. Also, I would argue that Cristiano is 186cm, I know he’s listed as 185cm, but that measurement was taken after exercise, so he’s at his lowest. I would say he’s on the borderline, high end of tallish but not a solid tall guy. He’s touching that borderline. He’s got the body proportions of a 6”2 guy though, so that helps.

@Progking Exactly. I think when we describe tall we need to use a common sense perspective as opposed to stats. If we used stats technically anything above average could be argued as tall. I’d say 187cm+ is a proper tall.

@John 6’0.75, as mentioned to @Progking, I think tall should be decided from a common sense point of view, as opposed to stats.

Henrik said on 28/Nov/23
What is tall is subjective. You will meet people who'd say tall begins at 1.95m (6ft 5).

Although I think quite a few 5ft 10 (1.78m) guys claim to be 6ft (1.83m) like Harry Styles. Simply because some girls and women are fixated by the 6ft number and refuse to date anyone shorter than that on the apps. This skewers the perception of how tall a true 6ft really is.

c-mo 5'9.25 said on 28/Nov/23
regarding what is tall this is my opinion

this is my height chart for men between 18 and 50 in the western world

all heights are about 5 hours out of bed


the more below 164 the more it becomes very short . and at a certain point extremely short

164 - 169 = short

170 - 172 = a little short

173 - 174 = below average but not short . ( maybe slightly so . but less so 174cm which is almost comfortably medium range) . basically a grey area

175 - 180 = medium range

181 - 182 = above average but not tall (maybe slightly so . especially 182) . grey area like 173 - 174

183 - 185 = a little tall . just like 170 - 172 being a little short

186 - 191 = legit tall

192 - 193 = this is starting to touch the very tall area . depending on the situation this might already be very tall

194 - 200 = very tall

above 200 = huge

above 207 = extremely tall and becoming giant like

213 / 7' + = gigantism



but this is just a rough idea and the heights are somewhat fluid . and there are also factors like body build , body proportions , shoes , posture etc. to be taken into account . for example when you are 184cm and have a lanky build and solid shoes you will likely already be seen as legit tall by most people . when you are 172 you are hardly different than a guy who is 173 for example . you dont suddenly become very different with 1cm more . or the medium range of 175 - 180 . at the higher ends you will feel and be seen as tallish in a good amount of situations . while at 175 you might feel slightly shortish at times especially when you have thin footwear and bad posture etc.

also if you are 177.5cm which is exactly in the middle of 175 - 180 you are medium height in the western world but you are tallish when you include more countries in the world and also include older men . and also taller than vast majority of women etc. so even though 177.5 is medium height in the west for non elderly men it is still on the taller side of the spectrum when you consider these things

this is just a rough height chart but i am pretty content with it . this chart shows reality in my experience and according to my observations

John 6'0.75 said on 28/Nov/23
I think 6'1.5 - 6'2 is more solid and for that reason alone I can certainly understand why it is more desirable than 6'0.5 - 6'1.

At 6'0.75 I already feel that I stand out moderately here in the UK and wouldn't really want to be any taller. There have also been times that I have barely had enough legroom in cars, planes/trains, and as a traveller this becomes particularly relevant to me.
I also think that the aesthetics and proportions in real life of 6'0.5 - 6'1 are better than that of 6'1.5 - 6'2. But in films the reverse is generally true.

In reference to male modelling photos I think the most aesthetic range is 184cm - 186cm.

It's probably easier to assess slightly taller or shorter heights in relation to oneself.

John 6'0.75 said on 28/Nov/23
@pov

If you would consider 6'1.5 the starting point of tall on the basis that it generally appears lanky then I would agree with you. Though from a statistical standpoint 1 standard deviation above average is accepted as the starting point of tall.

This would mean collectively that worldwide tall starts at 5'10 or 5'11, and collectively in Europe at around 6'0.5 or 6'1.

Sagenn said on 28/Nov/23
at 188/186 out of bed/evening height would i be considered as being 187cm tall on this site? seems like a lot of people here are going by different standards when it comes to actual height
according to my experience i think i'm indeed a bit shy of being true tall guy, especially since i'm not referring too much on everyday life where height fluctuates a lot due to the heterogeneity of people
we encounter, my way to go is night time life, this is when things get interesting, usually you would find a lot of attractive and socially active people accross your way espacially in small clusters such as parties, bars and affluents neightboorhoods, and of course they're taller, healthier and are disporportionately more to be seen in those nightly contexts than they are in daily life so effective average will clearly differ from the 177-178 official western countries numbers. in my experience, healthy/socially active people i've talked about are more around 180-181 or even 181-182 at a low. being a college student who is used to go out quite a lot i just cannot stick with the conventional 5'10ish, this is why i would set up my tall benchmark somewhere around 188-189 evening time, going back to my height i'm a fairly above average/tallish comparatively to the young & healthy average man, which is fine, albeit kinda frustrating sometimes, i mean im stuck in the tallish to tall border so im not able to fully enjoy the benefits of being tall like the 6'3 and 6'4 guys do!

Progking185 said on 27/Nov/23
@pov I think anything over 6'0 is tall, but 6'0 with the general 5'9 population I guess. I just say 6'0.5-6'1 is fairly tall, but I can see why you wouldnt call it tall, not too noticeable. 6'1.5-6'2 is start of solidly tall.

Harris Bhatti said on 27/Nov/23
@pov
What are you basing that on ? A standard deviation is about 3 inches so start of tall is about 185cm and it does make sense. So your saying someone like Ronaldo isn’t tall ?

pov said on 26/Nov/23
I’d say 6”1.5 (187cm) is the minimum requirement to be considered tall in the UK and US, in my opinion. This term of “6 foot” being tall is outdated. As average height has gone up, so should the benchmark for “tall”. I would say someone like Will Smith at 6”1.5 starts off the “tall” benchmark. I’m 184cm (6”0.5) and I am above average / tallish, but not a solid tall. I would never say tall. 6”1.5 is where I would say tall starts.

@John185

Great post, I agree. Yeah, there really isn't any downside to being 6'1 that I can think of. It's an ideal height in almost any situation. 6'0-6'2 is also widely considered the ideal height for male models. Coincidence? I think not.

dreus23 said on 27/Sep/23
@Darksol

I've noticed I can lose quite a lot of height standing relaxed compared to standing at my tallest, I think I have a fairly long neck that I guess isn't always stretched out and I've noticed that in a few other people as well who also have long necks (that they look shorter until standing straight)

For example in my country our stores put up these height markers at the entrance/exit (it's used to capture criminals, it's just that it's completely worthless lmao) and walking by them (in shoes) I don't think I'm anything over 170 cm. A few weeks ago I tried standing straight next to the markers and I was suddenly reaching over 175 cm. Similarly at home I have a 164.5 cm marking from a few years back and my dad who's like 170-171 cm nowadays can look only a couple cm taller than that marking standing relaxed

Big Ben said on 27/Sep/23
@SZ - oh, right, yes maybe. I meant for example when you have your neck forward relaxed, and a completely relaxed spine, hips and knees. And me lowering my eye level might exaggerate my perception. I normally have a good posture.

MaskDeMasque 5'9.5 said on 27/Sep/23
I read somewhere UK young male average is 177.5cm measured. But you can shave off a few mms from that as most people aren't measured in the evening. So about 5'9.75 I'd say. I feel within average amongst younguns(I'm 32) but at lower end. If we are talking evening heights most 18-30s are 5'9.5-5'10.5 range.

Hi rob, thank you for looking!

John185 said on 27/Sep/23
It's fair to assume that if the available data is indicative of a global male average of 171cm for all age groups, then young men might average 173cm.

Statistically tall therefore starts at around 180.5cm worldwide for the younger generation.

The corresponding percentiles are as follows:

178cm =
75th Percentile
0.7 Standard Deviation Above Mean

179cm =
79.1st Percentile
0.8 Standard Deviation Above Mean

180cm =
82.7th Percentile
0.9 Standard Deviation Above Mean

181cm =
86th Percentile
1.1 Standard Deviation Above Mean

182cm =
88.7th Percentile
1.2 Standard Deviation Above Mean

183cm =
91.1st Percentile
1.3 Standard Deviation Above Mean

184cm =
93.1st Percentile
1.5 Standard Deviation Above Mean

185cm =
94.7th Percentile
1.6 Standard Deviation Above Mean

186cm =
96th Percentile
1.8 Standard Deviation Above Mean

187cm =
97th Percentile
1.9 Standard Deviation Above Mean

188cm =
97.8th Percentile
2.0 Standard Deviations Above Mean

@186-187cm

In affluent parts of the UK the average for young men could be 180cm - 181cm, but in certain working class areas it's no more than 175cm - 176cm.
Overall I would say the average still doesn't exceed 178cm.
Also bear in mind that there are more middle-class people at college, so the average in settings such as that could be closer to 179cm - 180cm.

I reached my final height of 6ft 0.75/184.8cm at 16, but it's probably more common for men to grow until 18. Of course a minority will keep growing into their early 20's.

That's not right at all. Maybe you're mixing up relaxed versus slumping?

@Rob - yes, I also think it’s not normal to lose that much. I feel like Clark Kent transitioning to Superman when I fix my posture. Although it was just an estimate, it might just be 2 inches but I’m probably lowering my eye level subconsciously which might make it seem like 3 inches. But I do have a longer and thicker neck than most and that might be why.

5'11james said on 26/Sep/23
Hey Rob, ive found a pretty accurate way of measuring your height recently, here's how to do it:

1. Get a tape measure, get it at what your certain that your height is at, (I did 180cm)

2. Step on the metal part of the tape (the bottom of it with your toes) and make sure it's on the blank side when you look at it, and hold the hard part of tape measure, and make sure the tape is straight, and press the button to keep the tape in place.

3. Grab a phone and go on the camera and you can check if the hard part that your holding is close to the top of your head. Depending where youve set it at (for me again, it's 180cm).

If your head is pretty much bang on what CM you've set it to, then boom. That's your height. If not, press the tape measure to unhold it in place, and lower the tape down a bit, and use the camera app to check if the top hard part of the tape measure is touching the top of your head.

That's it.

Amongst the younger generation in the UK age 18-25 would you say the average height is around 178-179 cm for males? I just started college and I’m a strong 186cm and whilst i do feel quite tall there are still many taller than me so I struggle to see how an average young male can be in the 5ft 9 range.Also what would you say the average growth between the ages of 16-18 are between males 2-3cm’s?

popyou004 said on 25/Sep/23
Rob there’s something I don’t understand. If an average let’s say is 5’10. Will there be as many 5’8 guys as there will be 6’0 guys ? Or is it the taller the rarer it is. Will there be more 5’8 guys than 6ft or equal

popyou004 said on 25/Sep/23
Rob are you sure 5’10 is the average height among younger generations. I think it’s still under it. I see so many 5’8 people. If average height is 5’10 is 5’8 considered short or is it still average ? I think average might still be 176-177

Big Ben said on 25/Sep/23
Hi Rob, how are you? I have a question, how come I lose around 3 inches when standing with a relaxed posture but my girlfriend who is 161 barely loses anything, maybe only an inch or two? Same with a friend who is a bit over 5’6”, if he stands relaxed he only loses about an inch (only an estimate from my POV).

I was in Barcelona a few weeks ago, the difference in height compared to Scandinavia is quite remarkable. I was always one of the tallest people around, even in big crowds I’d easily be taller than at least 80% of men whereas in Sweden I’m average height. Before Barcelona I spent a few days in Paris where the average was maybe a little taller than Barcelona, but only about an inch.

Progking185 said on 24/Sep/23
@jslatt they both look tall but Chunkz not quite 6'2 there. looks maybe a weak 6'1 and 6'2 could be a shoe measurement.

John185 said on 24/Sep/23
Start of tall = 1 standard deviation above the mean.

Tall for a 5ft 9 average is approximately:
5ft 11.78

Tall for a 5ft 9.5 average is approximately:
6ft 0.28

Tall for a 5ft 10 average is approximately:
6ft 0.78

(Assumming a relatively normal height distribution.)



171cm/5ft 7.32 is the global average height for men - so 1 standard deviation above the mean is 5ft 10.1


Factoring in aesthetics, convenience in everyday life, as well as what I would consider tall enough to moderately stand out but not draw too much attention I deduce that 6ft 0.5 - 6ft 1.5 or 184cm - 186cm is the ideal range.

I think 6ft is very good but a fraction too short, and 6ft 2 is very good but a fraction too tall. But anything from 6ft - 6ft 2 is essentially 100% good.

Rob, I think the Seca 213 might undermeasure me slightly. When I measure myself facing the stadiometer ( only so I can max out my posture and stand tall ), the part that touches my head is slightly too short to really measure the highest point of my skull. Can you think of any solution to fix this ? Is there a stadiometer as accurate as the Seca 213 with a longer measuring part ?

Considering I measure about 177-177.2cm in the morning, and 175.3-175.5cm at the end of a normal day, is this still solid 5'9 range? Do you think this would be a 5'9 1/4 listing on your site? Thanks

Hello Rob i am 18 years and 3 months old and 181 cm tall, how likely is it i will reach 183-184 cm, my parents at their peak were 175 cm (father) and 158 cm (mother) and what can i do besides getting enough sleep to maximize my chances of growing after 18 now.

I‘m think I met someone I was at the pub yesterday in Birmingham, UK who has shrank about 7cm! I randomly chatting to a man in the smoking area, he slightly taller than me. (I’m 184cm). I would say he was about 6”1.5 (186cm). Anyways we were talking about football, and he was saying he used to play as a Sunday league football forward, he mentioned he was a “problem for centre backs, at 6”4 ”, first thing I was thinking this guy is lying about his height by a mile 🤣..but later in the convo he mentioned he’s had a metal knee cap put in due to injuries, and he was also 67 years old with back problems. After that I think he’s definitely shrunk, will never know if he was a full 6”4 peak, but know he must have been clearly taller than his current height of what I estimate to be 6”1.5… @Rob is a shrinkage like this possible given the circumstances?


6'4 was probably a shor height

Jeffery White said on 19/Sep/23
Thanks for the reply Rob. Around mid-day I tend to measure around 5'9 1/4. I know by celebheights standards this would make me a probable 5'9 1/4 listing, but I'm not going to claim this in casual conversation obviously. Either 5'9 or 5'9 1/2 would be what I would claim, but I'm reluctant to claim just 5'9 flat as even just before bed I can measure over that by a tiny bit

Good list. I think giant starts at 6'9 though. My old mate was 6'9 and looked gigantic plus had all the problems that go with that height.

Rob, when people are listed on your site, would you say that "solid" range people would appear very similar if not identical to 1/2 inch listed people? E.g. if Person A measures near 5'5 in the morning (like 5'4 3/4) and maintains at least 5'4 all day, maybe is 5'4 flat maybe a bit over just before bed - and Person B is listed 5'4 1/2 on here

Jeffery White said on 17/Sep/23
Hi Rob, if my eye level straight out of bed is around 5'5 1/4 (approx 165.7cm), and around 5'4.5-6 (164cm) just before bed, what would you say my height was and what I would get listed as on this site? Do you think a 5'9 1/2 claim is reasonable enough? Thanks

Sneako is never 6'2" lol. In the pic next to Trump he looks barely 1 cm taller, and Trump is still more or less 184 cm barefoot (187 cm peak). I'd say he's a legit 185 cm and nearer 187-188 cm in normal shoes.

I remember OK Magazine said Prince William got measured at a "strapping six two and a half" and he was between 18 and 19 at the time.. The question is whether he grew slightly or that is indeed is real height. I do think he generally looks between 6'2.5 and 6'3".

Arch Stanton said on 14/Sep/23
@Jslatttt said on 13/Sep/23
@Arch Stanton it’s at most 0.5 inch. Not enough to justify giving William a 6ft2.75 and Harry Kane a 6.1.75. Especially not giving Declan rice 6ft2 when he is clearly atleast one inch shorter than Kane even with seemingly thicker shoes.

I don't think the Prince is quite standing his tallest, head not straight...

Hello, why is it that when I measure myself facing the wall I’m a strong 186cm but when I do it with my back against the wall I’m barely over 6 foot 183-184cm? Does this indicate some posture/spinal issue? Also when measuring I do it alone with no assistance which may be the reason for my lower measurement but I would expect this would only result in a small 1cm difference 2 cm at worst but not 3-3.5cm. I know I’m easily over 185cm as my eye level is 174.5 cm so being in the 6 foot range cannot be possible.

@ 5'7 and a fraction

Some of your designations were logically incoherent. You can't have height listings overlap each other on a chart.

This one is improved:

Under 4'10 = midget
4'10 - 5'1 = tiny
5'2 - 5'4 = very short
5'5 - 5'6 = short

5'7 - 5'8 = below average (shortish)
5'9 - 5'10 = average
5'11 - 6'0 = above average (tallish)

6'1 - 6'2 = tall
6'3 - 6'5 = very tall
6'6 - 6'9 = huge
Above 6'9 = giant

@Jslatttt Don't be fooled by Harry Kane's hair. William clearly looks taller, about 0.75 inch taller looks right.

Strong 181 said on 13/Sep/23
I started using Glucosamine 5-6 days ago and I can say that it increased my out of bed from 183,5(normal) and 183,7-8(max) to around 184 flat. I hit the flat 184 mark 4 days in a row now. So it looks like I also wake up at my max out of bed with Glucosamine. My low also seems higher now. After gym I can maintain 181,6 and before it was around 181,3 or a little lower. However, my low area is definitely higher now. Could be used by people who really want an extra 1/8 inch. I never dropped below 181 at my extreme low but at my absolute lowest possible I could by a about 2mm . Now I don’t think I can drop below 181 at all at my absolute lowest with Glucosamine. Will report once I hit extreme low zone.

Hey Rob, I know you don't endorse elevator shoes anymore, but based on your knowledge from when you did, what true height increase should I expect from Guidomaggi 3.1 inch and 4 inch models?

@Jslatttt said on 12/Sep/23
Harry Kane also looks identical height to Prince William who you billed as 6”2 and three quarters. Declan rice who you listed as 6”2 was also in this picture with Kane and William and he is noticeably shorter than both. Maybe he deserves a downgrade?

@Rob could you make a page for YouTuber Chunkz? He claims 6”2 and was measured in a video on a stadiometer as that but it wasn’t shown if he was wearing shoes or not. Standing with Harry Kane he looks about an inch shorter even with footwear advantage. I think Harry Kane is a solid 6”2 so maybe an upgrade for him? Click Here

Hey Rob, some great additions of late. A few others to consider below:

1. Hamish Linklater (Midnight Mass - incredible show, and his role was unforgettable). Also, he was very memorable in The Big Short! Gets listed 6ft 4 and looks at least 6ft 3...

2. Christopher Briney (garnering some big roles)

3. Gerardo Celasco - been in a lot of shows...looks near 6ft 1...maybe between 6ft and 6ft 1 perhaps, what do you think? Good pics of him and Jennifer Morrison

4. British character actor Paul Rogers (did a lot of noted work) and won many awards. Gets listed as 6', maybe around that at peak? Was in movies with big stars.

Much appreciated!

I think he's 5'6. He can look as low as 5'5 but has kind of bad posture and can sometimes look over 5'6 as well. He weirdly reminds me of Mac Miller height-wise

Also, feel free to say if these suggestions are intrusive or annoying and I'll stop

My former friends stepfather consistently said he was 6ft6 and if you saw him walking round the streets in my local town really nothing spectacular. He was on the heavy side for his height at 266 pounds which can give the illusion of looking shorter.

James B 172cm said on 8/Sep/23
Knew a guy in my college days who always claimed 6ft5 but I wouldn’t classify him as looking freakish at all even with his long legged lanky proportions. Weather he really was 6ft5 though is another matter but there was also one another on at college who claimed 6ft6 and much 6ft5 I would not stare in disbelief if I saw him on the streets or anything like that.

It's definitely possible for someone to be under 4'10" without having dwarfism, especially women. In the shortest countries, the average height is around 4'11" for women and 5'3" for men. Making women down to about 4'6" and men down to 4'10" relatively common.

Hey Rob, GuidoMaggi is having some discounts right now that brings some of their prices close to Don's. I have money for both, so which one do you recommend assuming I want 1.5-1.8 inches (on top of the heel) true increase? Does Midsole Tech make such a difference that Don's is better?

I know people have done these lists several times now, but I just want to put in my take because I feel like it.

From my perspective personally in the UK, this is what these heights seem to me.

Less than 4'10 = Dwarf
5'0 - 5'4 = very short
5'4 - 5'7 = short
5'7 - 5'8 = below average (shortish)
5'9 - 5'10 = average
5'11 - 6'0 = above average (tallish)
6'0 - 6'3 = tall
6'3 - 6'6 = very tall
6'6 - 6'10 = giant tall
More than 6'10 = giant

Kandron said on 4/Sep/23
I ordered some chelsea boots from Don's Footwear, and I gave them my specific foot measurements to make sure I got the right size. This (Click Here is what arrived. Is this normal? What went wrong? The fit is mostly OK, though my heel slides a bit (fixable with thick socks) but I don't think is how they're supposed to look, they don't fit well around my legs at all and they look deformed. Gotta say, considering all I've heard about them I'm pretty disappointed, the boots didn't even come in a proper case, just tightly packed in a cardboard box.

The tallest guys almost always seem to be 6'6-6'7 Alex! A genuine 6 ft 8 or taller is super rare! I'd imagine if you live in a city like New York City or one of the European capitals like Stockholm, Amsterdam, Copenhagen or Berlin which tend to have taller than average populations you'd be more likely to see over 6 ft 8 a bit more regularly.

Hey Rob, I recently measured myself on a very flat floor and a good wooden door that's very straight with the aerosol can, and I'm in the 180-180.2cm range 5 hours after waking up! wow...

I'm also 19 years old so, maybe I'm still growing a tad bit.. (or I've stopped recently) I was 5'10 3/4 in the afternoon at February ish earlier this year, and before that, I was in the strong 5'10 range.

Or maybe all that time I was undermeasuring myself, and I really was the height I am now this whole time, or I suddenly grew over that timespan... weird.

I used to be James (178.3cm) Jones on this website around Xmas season 2022, and I was in that 5'10 range then, so yeah, a minor growth spurt definitely is possible..

Hi Rob. We talked about an year ago and now i’m back with some new curiosities and i would really appreciate your opinion. My dream would always have been to try to be a model, where very often a minimum height of 185 cm is required. Then it depends because I believe the heights of many models are approximated. So i refresh your memory with my measurements that are pretty the same obviusly. First thing of the morning around 186,5. During the day always between 185 and 185.5 and even at night. This situation is when I don't do particularly heavy activities, for example in a quiet day, maybe in the mountains or at the sea, commercial centers stuffs like these, 10 thousand steps…so a light physical activity. But things change when I go to the gym, not always, after some workouts I'm always in the range of 185, but in other cases instead, maybe in the heavier ones, I go a fraction below, like a little more than 184.5, an average of 184.7/8, in fact it's when my back hurts from the effort where maybe I did groundlifts or squats. However, I specify that already after like 30-60 minutes that I rested, my height is “restored” and until I go to sleep, I go back to being a little more than 185, like 185.1-2. I'm not stupid, I know I can safely say that I'm 1 meter and 85 tall, but since some time ago we talked about the differentiation between strong solid and weak, I was wondering if despite some intense days I go a few millimeters below 185 returning to more than 185 in the evening after resting, I can consider myself a strong 185. Sorry for the message lenght and thanks for the time, hi rob!

5'7 and a fraction said on 1/Sep/23
@Rob, I was just wondering, seen as there are people who can get well over 7 feet tall like Neil Fingleton and Shawn Bradley without any condition related to Acromegaly or Gigantism, is it possible that there are people who can be well under 4'10 without any condition related to dwarfism? I think I only ever came one scenario like this on some documentary on dwarfs in the acting business (idk if you've seen it) in which this lady was referred to as the "fake dwarf" as she was generally just really short in stature but other that I haven't really seen anyone else like that.

well what can i tell you . in my 30s (now at 37 too) women from 20 up to my age range check me out and smile my way and find me attractive still . real life that is . i am one of the least photogenic people on earth haha . and i am overweight right now (but even now some women show interest). i have been called handsome etc. since i was 15 . i have a good looking face but you might not see it that way if you saw my pics . i dont have hunter eyes or whatever . i have almond eyes and good facial harmony . i am content with how i look except my weight these days . and i am bald ...which looks manly and suits me in real life but on pics it looks weird . i look like a peanut head on pics lmao

not sure but i have the feeling you are posting in those lookism or looksmax or whatever the names was kind of forums . trust me many things of what the guys say there are nonsense . i lurked a few times in such forums out of interest . they will say stuff like 6'4 or its over 6'3 or death etc. which is just ridiculous for example . not sure if they are trolling but many seemed serious . some things they say are true but a lot of things are not . they also exeggerate certain stuff

and let me tell you . nowdays online dating is NOT representative of real life . of how you look. i know guys who are not good looking (and on top of them one of them was even often made fun of in school back then i remember . because of the way he talked and acted etc. ) have success online while i know good looking guys who have no success online .

if you dont have success online it does NOT mean that you are not good looking . trust me on that

If you're tryna maximize height though, I recommend not wearing elevator shoes and add a pair of 2 cm lifts to some of the shoes Rob listed that give over 1.5 inches (3.8 cm). I think a 6 cm gain (from shoes) is more than enough to look taller without it being too noticeable

Height Analyzer 2 said on 31/Aug/23
To everyone who claims height is a huge benefit in nightclubs, I live in the city with arguably the best nightclubs in the USA, and while I'm tall (weak 6'5 at worst), I think height is very much overrated once you clear 5'11 barefoot (6'0+ in shoes). Attractiveness, charisma, and money talks a lot more than being tall. A good-looking 5'11-6'0 dude is gonna beat out a mediocre looking 6'3 guy any day where I'm at (think of something similar to NYC/LA)

Allheightsaretooshort said on 30/Aug/23
c-mo 5'9.5, You're 37. So most of your experience was in the golden era, when quality of life already peaked, but social media didn't ruin the sexual market yet (Late 2000s - early 2010s) Back then the woman standards according men was mostly based on reality around us. Now young girl spend a lot of time on tiktok, instagram and etc. where they see 11/10 male models who look like plastic mannequins that you'll never see in real life and start thinking that it is a norm, that it is how men supposed to look. Not even mention that nightclubs are losing its share to online dating where you don't have a chance to show your excellent game, because everything is based on profile photo there, that wasn't the case in 2010. Height requirements also increased by a couple inches, even though the average height didn't change much during last few decades. And if you still have a remarkable success with women at 37 these days, then most likely either these woman are your age or older, which means they're far out of prime or you just got top tier face with hunter eyes, cheekbones, strong defined jaw and chin that easily compensate your height disadvantage (yeah, I know you are average height, but nowadays among zoomers you're supposed to be far above average to be considered average due to inflation of everything in our twisted digital world)

Hello @Rob
If a female with a very curvy body (think Kim K) measured herself against a wall, would that affect the results? (because the curves naturally push her body away from the wall)? If yes, would it give a higher or a lower reading?

In fact this happened right after I ordered some chelsea boots from Don's Footwear (the MST Frangou) and I feel kind of annoyed now cause GuidoMaggi is considered a luxury brand and a lot of celebs who wear elevators buy from them (allegedly).

To those who have tried both, how do the two companies compare? Should I order something from GuidoMaggi while the discounts are going or is Don's equally good or better?

@c-mo Yes if you're at least decent facial wise and 5'8"+ in the western world + have game you can pull decent numbers. It's not my thing but kudos nonetheless (I'm 30 btw).

i dont want to sound as if i am showing off here and not trying to sound like a bighead but regarding nightclubs i have a lot to say . i have been to nightclubs very very often especially between ages 18 and 24 . but also after that . sometimes even 3 days in a row (thursay , friday , saturday) lol . i am 37 now . living in Germany . and i have had a lot of success with women . i never counted but i kissed estimated around 50 women or even more . got a lot of phone numbers . have sleptwith a decent amount . even 2 times IN the club xD (restroom) . lol . and i am between 5'9 and 5'10 . 5'9 range most of the day (178.4 out of bed and 175.9 evening) and was slightly shorter back then than i am now . so dont worry about being "too short" for nightclubs if you are my height . thats my message . and no i am not making these things up . these are my real experiences . so please dont try to discredit it ...i am not a liar

however i can understand when someone doesnt like nightclubs , it is full , loud , people are drunk etc.


and yes i am back on CH :) missed you guys

I’d say it’s about charisma and being a good player to attract women and to enjoy time with them… but overall I’d say that short guys who are like 5’3-5’7 might have a pretty difficult time with women, since most girls or women prefer guys of at least average height or at least low average or something like that. But myself I am 178 cm, and i never had any good experiences other than dancing with women. lol!

I am a virgin and I am about 20, and I don’t care about women to be honest. I’ll rather find the true woman to date than sleeping with women.

But yeah, that’s my point.

Progking, my 6'2.5 friend when we use to go out to bars often back then he generally was one the tallest and definitely the tallest when not crowded

Alex 6'0 said on 29/Aug/23
Progking, 6'0-6'1 in non big crowds definitely tall but big crowds you'll see more guys 6'3-6'4. 6'4 out will be taller than many in the bar or club.

Hey Rob, how about the actor Neil Maskell from films like Kill List and the TV show Utopia? Compared to 5'9.5-5'9.75 range Michael Smiley in Kill List, he looks about 5'8.

Hey Rob, guy on the left claims 185cm. How tall does the guy on the right look?Click Here

Progking185 said on 29/Aug/23
Comments finally back nice
@Alex6'0 yeah I notice in big crowds 6'0-6'1 can be on the tall-ish side at times, but its pretty tall generally. I guess a very tall height like around 6'4 is pretty much always tall in a crowd. Few guys that height or taller

Darksol64 said on 29/Aug/23
@Alex

Sounds pretty spot on the average guy around here is between 5'6-5'9 it seems and 19 out of 20 of them are paired up with a cute girl.

6'0+ certainly doesn't hurt your chances and you'll likely have an edge over the shorter guy if you can talk to girls at the same level he can...but at the end of the day it's not a deal breaker.

The challenge definitely ramps up below 5'6 for sure. 5'2-5'5 I'd say are probably the most challenging heights for a guy that's not famous. You'd be better off to be in the 4'8 range or something because at that point you are at least pretty unique statistically, and you'll probably find a quirky girl with a thing for unusually short guys that she rarely ever sees in public.

Alex 6'0 said on 29/Aug/23
I don't go out often but when i do its bars or maybe a lounge. Never clubs. Depending where I'm at ill feel tall or above average. Local spots I'm definitely on tall side but big places not as much. I'll see guys below average height talking to women. I don't believe height matters so much with talking to women or them accepting you unless you're really short. But guys 5'6-5'8 u shouldn't have problems. Its more about your game and how you talk to women.

@James I'd say nightclubs are a waste of time for most people, unless you are going there say once per month. That's it.

Averytin said on 27/Aug/23
Hi Rob, I'm exactly 178.6 cm first thing out of bed, then drop to around 176.9 cm by around 6pm, possibly more if I'm on my feet longer. Would I be considered a solid 177cm / 5'9.75" guy by celebheights standards?

Apparently men under average height are invisible to females in nightclubs. Basically in a club size seems to matter.

What are your views on this?

I don’t go to clubs or bars any longer, it’s a waste of time and waste of money too. Since things are pricey in those places. But I used to go clubbing kinda often back in late 2021 , 2022 and in the earliest part of 2023. After I started to train from late march, then I quit going to those places. It’s not worth my energy either because my rest day is supposed to be very relaxing.

But I used to be in the 5’9 range and about 5’9.5 when I went to those places, and most were ignoring me. But I did have some dances with some women . But that’s it .

SZ said on 27/Aug/23
Hello Rob, would you consider a guy 181 cm before bed into the low tall range or upper average? Feels like 181-182 range is a confusing range like a grey zone/area.

Rob,

Hope you're doing well. You should have kept the comments closed on this site. It was so much more peaceful for the last two months

@Rob

i measured myself after 15 hours just to make my back cry and turns out i was 180.1 or 2 cm. What height would you list me at?

I think we have exactly 7cm apart.

Another picture my brother took of me. I measured myself under my stadiometer just after this pic was taken at just under 5'10 1/4".

Another picture taken a couple hours before: Click Here
I measured just under 5'10 3/8" after that pic and I look that height in the pic.

Rob do you think vaping/consuming nicotine can stunt height growth during puberty?

N Okanovich said on 10/Jun/23
Hello @Rob, what do you think the height difference is here? The person on the right claims 6 foot 6 inches tall. The person on left claims 6 foot 5 inches tall. What do you think their actual height is? Thank you.
