Doesn't sound that iffy to me. I meet short guys all the time who claim they're 5'6" or 5'7". Meanwhile, they're significantly shorter than me, and I'm not even 5'8".

5'11" and wishing I was taller. I consider the height I do have to be a blessing, but every bit helps when it comes to sports, especially volleyball.

I agree with you on the shorter dudes part but I seldom catch that happening with average height/tall dudes and for women the only ones I've ever noticed is ones that are like 99th percentile short.

Oh well, different experiences for different people I s'pose and certainly not a topic worth me debating over :angel:

Not that DTF is necessarily a representative sample of the world, but this is probably going on here too.  Just based on the reported heights so far in this thread, and that to my knowledge the worldwide average height of an adult male is still around 5'8".

Same here. My old boss used to call me hat rack. I still havn't figured that one out but, I know it had to do with my height.

My freshman year in highschool I was 6'1" and only 140 pounds. I disapeared if I turned sideways.

Dutch people are tall. The average height for males here is 6'1" or 6'2" I think.

6'1. Always thought I was only 6foot, but when I actually measured myself last year I discovered an extra inch  :lol

You always see average heights quoted that are a fair bit below 6', but I don't really feel that tall because most of my friends are about the same height (and one is 6'6). Would like to see an average for males under 30 years old or something.

Well be happy you're not actually as tall as a hobbit. Standing proud at 3'8" isn't something to be TOO proud of :P

Dwarves are slightly taller. Maybe you can be called a dwarf instead?

I definitely spent a long stint at Hobbit height. Shortest person in my Primary School year :')

You know what...That sounds alright. I was thinking of becoming a wood elf in honour of Skyrim, but dwarves are bad ass!
