What is height to you?

Post by Pel »

Height. Ok, this is a quite random subject, but one I've thought through many times.

What is height to you?

I was just looking around "The Hollywood Hideout" and some people think 5"9's tall, some people think 5"8-9's tall and some people think 6 foot+ is tall, so what do you think is tall.

I think 6 foot+ is tall, and I don't get why people think 5"9's tall. I'm 5"9 and still growing. Sure, I'm tall for my age but I wouldn't say I was tall generally.

I'm just a kind of, fasinated about people's view on height.

Okay.
The last time I checked.
My height was 5'4?
I can't remember if I was with shoes or without shoes?
But I think I grew in the summer.

I think 5'8 and up is considered tall because I'm a shorty.

Height has always been an issue for me because I wanted to be like 5'8. From what I've read, 5'4 is considered tall for women in the USA. For males, 6'0 is considered tall, 5'10 is considered average. I'm 5'5, but even though I would like to be taller, I haven't met a lot of guys who stand at least 5'10. I don't want to be taller than the guy I date, but I'd prefer him to be at least 6'0, just to give me some options with my shoe choice.

I'm 5'10.
I think that guys who are 6'4 + are tall, and and for girls, 5'11 + is tall.
And it also depends on the age of the person too.

I'm 5'4"
I usually say someone about 6' is tall.
Generally.
It depends sometimes.

Okay,for me.. everyone is tall.
I'm 161cm. Which I think is about 5'2?
But whatever the case,I'm one of the shortest people in my grade, and pretty much the shortest person when I'm with a group of people and whatever,hahaha.

hmm, i'm 5'2" or 3" ... haven't been measured for a while. I consider myself short, but that's probably because I have a lot of tall friends and family.

But hey, short people pwn — just look at Frodo and Alice!

Me too! When I'm with my group of friends I'm always looking up at them! :lol: They probably seem about average to most people though.

For U.S. men I say 6 feet or more is tall. For U.S. women I'd say anything above 5'5". But also anything is tall to me because I'm only 5'3". :lol:
