Average male height is around 5’7” / 5’ 8”


I just don't see that as the average where I am.

While I'm 6'4". there aren't many guys under 5'8".

Other than the illegals anyway.

*Wisconsin is known for producing O lineman...

**Lots of Norwegian/German genes here so maybe that has something to do with it.

Giants usually die young.

Their track record vs Davids is historically unfavorable as well.

Tread lightly.

5’11 is top 25% of men in America. That’s kind of crazy to me. 4% are 6’2 or taller.

I think there's a race/class disparity tbh

if you're around a lot of upper and upper middle class white guys, way more than 4% are >6'2

I have never met a woman as tall as me. Not really something I think about.

Meeting a woman that is even close to my height is both very rare and disconcerting.

Saying that, I'm a big fan of heels on women.

Same

Something about folks up north and their height, I feel like a fricking giant down here near Houston.

I have two female cousins that are 5’10” and 6’. I’m 5’5” and my other cousin is 4’10” - we are all first cousins on my dad’s side. We all look alike but the height varies.

Thanks for the boost in self esteem for me today. I hit 5'11" in high school and just knew I was gonna get to 6'. Well, I didn't and reading this thread makes me feel like the guy in the first picture of the OP.
