I’m a 5’7 and a half female, in your completely honest opinion do you think I’m tall or average height. I feel massive and huge next to every other girl, don’t wear heels ever and hate it.
im just under 9st and feel I just look like this absolute giant.
I never am called tall by anyone but believe I am.
In your opinion is 5’7-5’8 ‘really tall’ for a female

Do you hang out with really tiny people? 🤣
I’m 5’8” and I am taller than average but feel perfectly normal sized

Tall in my circles

It’s well above average height. These statistics are available online. Average height is about 5’3 in the UK depending on which source you look at.

Go to Germany or the Netherlands, far away from Hobbiton.
There 5 foot 7 is small.

And I’m 11st, at 5ft 7 and 9 stone you are in no way a giant 🙄

I'm 5'7 and think of myself as average height. I'm probably a tiny bit taller than average in reality but I come from a tall family and have some tall colleagues so I sort of feel like I'm in the middle. I certainly don't feel tall other than if I'm standing next to my really tiny tiny friend.

What do you mean 'half female'?

Garman · 07/01/2023 18:48

No it’s not really tall, I’m 5ft 8 and am average height among my friends.
