Males above the age of 21: what is your height?

Derp! Missed the edit window:

Here’s a nifty visual index of various height/weight combinations. I use it when generating characters for stories or role-playing games. Granted, it could be organized a little better in terms of providing multiple pictures, dividing genders, dividing fat vs muscular, etc, but still pretty cool.

Funny that there’s a dip in the peak of the bell curve at 5’11".

I am 5’ 11" as well.

5’9" officially – actually a bit over but the measurements have tended to vary.

5’5"

But I was 5’6" when I was closer to 21 so I picked that. Getting old sucks blue waffles.

I think it’s likely that many men who are 5’11" report that they are 6’.

Somewhere in between 5’7" and 5’8" so today I decided to round down. Sometimes I round up, depends on my mood.

An absolutely perfect 5’7".

Which way should I round? I’m 5’11.5" .

0.5 and up - round up

0.4 and down - round down

5’10" and a little bit more ----------- so of course I went with 5’11" :slight_smile:

They grow 'em tall out on the prairie. Perhaps the short ones get lost in the snow.

I’ve always understood that the usual rule is: below .5, round down; at .5 and above, round up.

My experience, though, is that height is one of those things that is never rounded down.

I’m another tweener, in the shaky ground between 5’9" and 5’10". Stuck between modesty and boastfulness, I decided to round up ;).

What, are they compensating for something? 5’11" not good enough for them? Rat bastards.

Short Guy Syndrome has a more destructive & insidious counterpart: Almost Tall Enough To Be Called A Tall Guy Syndrome.

I have always dated “short guys” (Between 5’6" and 5’8") and the only serious boyfriend I dated who was taller than me was a huge mistake. At 5’9.5" myself I have no idea why I am attracted to shorter men, but I am. My husband is 5’8" and I had to wear flats to our wedding, :wink:

Did you check out Panache’s post?

I’m 5’8, btw.

Only 6’0" now. Lost an inch or a little more to a screwed up back. Of course it compacted at the bottom which made the belly much more pudgy.

Hubba Hubba shorties :wink:

Here is a whole tumblr about it. Now, the examples of the models with rich men skew reality a bit, because I am pretty sure they are with those guys for the money, but meh who cares.

Interestingly enough, at 6’1", I am the tallest person on either side of my family who has ever lived. I am not aware of a single blood relative I have close enough to me for me to know them who is as tall as I am; my father, at an even six feet, is closest. As all the children in the family are girls, that is unlikely to change.

That strikes me as being kind of weird. Yeah, I know people get taller, but still.
