Well then you are not using the word "average" correctly.




Maybe it is just where Nurse and I live but I swear it seems like the average is about 6 feet here.

Those are not even close to being equal. If you are going to say 6"4 for a man you should say 5"8 for a woman. A 6"0 woman is like a 6"7 or 6"8 man.

Average american male height: 5'10"
Average american female height: 5'5"

Tall is relative. Any man taller than I am is considered tall. Any female almost as tall as I am is considered tall.

Well if we do some very quick research...

quote:

U.S. Black Americans Men: 178 cm (5 ft 10 in) Women163.2 cm (5 ft 4 1/2 in)

quote:

U.S. White Americans Men: 178.9 cm (5 ft 10 1/2 in) Women: 164.8 cm (5 ft 5 in)


So I would say based on statistics 6' is tall for a man, and 5'6 is tall for a woman
