How tall are you?

5"2.

I’m hoping I may still grow. But at 22, it seems unlikely.

5’8, male… think I hit it right about age 20.

Yeah I’m 35 but I still dream that one day I’ll get those extra 3 inches and be 5’5".

I forgot to add that Im in the Guiness book as the worlds tallest midget!

I love that joke,I say it every time someone asks my height

Five four, female. I think I quit growing somewhere in my underclassman HS years.

My sibs are both way taller than me. My sister’s five nine, and my brother would be six foot if he ever stood up straight.

I WUZ ROBBED. :smiley:

Almost 5’ 9" female and I was this tall at 14.

I’m a 5’8" female. I think I was this height when I was twelve. I recently saw a pic of myself in 5th grade and I looked like the definition of “behemoth.”

Nice to see other women here are the same height or taller. All the women in my family are 5’5" or less and they make me feel freakishly large.
[/QUOTE]

The women in my family range from about 5’4 to me at 6’1. I’m the tallest, the next two closest to me are 6’ and 5’11, the rest are around 5’6 ish or smaller.

Last week I saw the tallest person I’ve ever seen in real life. I was standing in line to pay for some gasoline and I felt someone come up behind me. I casually glanced over my shoulder and was looking at a belt buckle. I did a sort of double take thinking someone had moved a display behind me to block the line and then realized it was a person. I didn’t turn around but her a little girl say, “Wow, how tall are you?” The answer - 7’ 4".

I finally did see him when he came out of the store and he was …big. There isn’t another word to describe him. He was just big.

Had this happen to me once a few months ago. It was weird. I was at the store getting a water and someone reached over me to grab a milk. It startled me that someone was reaching over so I turned and saw this really cute guy about 7’3 I think he told me (7’ something.. I knew it was rude but my mouth moved before my mind stopped it).

I wish I’d flirted and gotten his number because damnit I like tall guys. They just don’t seem to like me. :frowning:

About 6’3", male - got to over 6’ by 18 and grew a bit more in college…

5’4" or 5’5" depending on who you ask, 39yo female.

Been this height (and a similar amount of curves) since I was 12. Went from “stick kid” to someone who looked a lot like I do now from the neck down in less than three months.

5’ 3’’. And a quarter. I demand the addisional quarter be honored.

I also demand that other people get stuff off of high shelves for me.

6’2" and I’m a 34 year old male. I reached this height right around age 17.

Of course, back then I was a 30 waist, and weighed 130 pounds. That didn’t last.

5’6.1" according to the handy-dandy internet conversion chart calculator thing. I stopped growing at around 12. I was one of the tallest girls in my class up till 6th grade. Based on my parents’ heights, I was expected to be 5’8. sigh

167 cm (5’5.7") and 58.8 kg (129.4 lbs) this morning. I guess my height peaked around 17. I’ve always been short; both my brothers and my father are around 180 cm and I’m barely taller than my mother.

5’8". I think I probably was about 5’6" until after high school. My nearly-14-year-old son is already 5’6".

If this isn’t too much of a hijack, has anyone else noticed surprising height differences between different parts of the US?

I am pretty sure that people are bigger in general in my original home of the Louisiana/East Texas area than they are here in the Boston area. That includes height as well as stature even when we we ignore any overweight factors. I am pretty big compared to most people in the Boston area but that mostly disappears when I flew back home and step off of the plane. I always attributed it to a different mix of ethic groups (the South is mainly black, Scots-Irish, Irish, English and Scottish while Boston has a lot of Italians and other groups that aren’t known for their height or stature).

The people in the Midwest tend to be pretty big as well because of their German and Scandanvian roots. The first time I stepped off the plane in Frankfurt, I was immediately struck by how big those German people are. I believe the Dutch are the tallest people in the world however but Americans aren’t too far behind.

six foot two.

5’10". Short for my weight.

5’7", or thereabouts. I’m on the tallish side of average.

I know we’ve had these threads before, but I was just noticing the other day when I was at my son’s school (he’s now in middle school) that it’s becoming less and less the case that I’m taller than my son’s classmates. I admit, I’m short. I’m 5’2". But I’ve been the same height since probably 6th or 7th grade.

So here is the question: How tall are you? (please also say if you are M or F)

Also, how old were you when you got that tall?
[/QUOTE]

My answer is the same as yours. F, 5’2" and stopped growing around Jr. High.

I always pictured you as somewhere around 5’6".
