6’2", been this height since 17 or so, although at age 17 I ran cross counrty and weighed a ludicrous 127 pounds. 200 pounds of solid muscle now…well, solid muscle, bone and some viscera. There’s some liquid, too, to be honest. ---

6’0 Got there at 17 or 18. Male. I had an eating disorder in HS, or else I think I’d be as tall as my dad at 6’2. I’m going to try the rowing thing. I’m sure it will help my posture, which might give me another inch. ---

6’ 0". Male in mid 20’s. I had a growth spurt when I was 17, and my height has remained this much since then. ---

Female. Due to scoliosis and posture problems, I’ve been measured at everything from 5’9" to just a hair over six feet (that last one was while lying down). Usually I say 5’10". I’ve been this tall since I was about 14. ---

Female, 5’5". I hit 5’3" at 13 and stopped, them suddenly grew another two inches when I was 19-20. Weird. ---

Male, 5’10. I was definitely this tall by the time I turned 16, but I may have stopped growing around 15. Momma always said I’d get another growth spurt and hit 6’. Momma lied. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/how-tall-are-you/418639.md?page=8)
