Woman 5ft 7 and up. I’m 5 7 and taller than most women I know
Men about 6ft and up

justanotherneighinparadise · 06/08/2020 12:08

Women over 5ft 8. Men over 6ft 2

QueenCuntyFlippers · 06/08/2020 12:09

5 9 and above for a woman (that's my height, so if you're the same height or taller than me I'd say you were tall)

6' is tall for a man I'd say.

What do you think?

SerenDippitty · 06/08/2020 12:09

Woman 5ft 7 and over
Man 5ft 10 and over.

I'm 5ft 2.

RandomTree · 06/08/2020 12:10

Woman 5'9"
Man 6"

CSIblonde · 06/08/2020 12:10

I was taller than everyone at 5ft 9,so that for a woman. Over 6ft for a man . Tho every man on OLD sites say they are 6ft ,even if they're a dinky 5ft 5.

mrbob · 06/08/2020 12:10

5ft 10 maybe for a woman? I am 5’7” and most average. 6ft 4 for a man

ViciousJackdaw · 06/08/2020 12:11

I'm 5ft 7 and felt tall in my salad days but the young women of today seem to tower above me.

imnottoofussed · 06/08/2020 12:12

See I'm 5'9 and don't feel tall. Ok I'm taller than some people but in most scenarios I'm not the tallest person so don't feel tall if that makes sense.

I think of women 5'10 and above and men 6ft and above as tall

vickibee · 06/08/2020 12:12

I am 5 feet 8 and I am taller than most females I know,
Over 6 foot for a male

My son is 13 and already 5 foot 9 - he has really shot up lately

Hingeandbracket · 06/08/2020 12:12

Man here - I am 6' 4" but actually claimed to be 6' 2" on OLD as I was getting filtered out as too tall.

Floralnomad · 06/08/2020 12:13

Women 5’9”
Men 6’2” .

Shoppingwithmother · 06/08/2020 12:14

Over 5’8 for a woman, over 6ft for a man

SimonJT · 06/08/2020 12:16

Woman 5’10” and over
Men 6’4” and over, I’m just over 6 foot, so I don’t see men as my height as tall as such

TheAquaticDuchess · 06/08/2020 12:17

Women, 5ft 9 upwards. Men, 6ft upwards.

I’m 5ft11 and my husband is 6ft4, definitely consider both of us to be v tall.

Same.
My 18yr old DD and all her friends seem to be nearing 6ft Shock

LioneIRichTea · 06/08/2020 12:21

For a man 6ft and up. For a woman, well I’m 5ft 9 and see myself as average height although people call me tall. I’d say taller than me is tall so 5ft 10/11 and up? Grin

3ormore3 · 06/08/2020 12:21

Only 25% of women are 5’6” or taller.

Judashascomeintosomemoney · 06/08/2020 12:21

Women 5’8” and over
Men 6’ and over
I’m 5’7” which I didn’t think was short but, now everyone in the house is taller than me (even the dogs when they’re on their hind legs 😀) and I get patted on the head often, I feel really diddy.

MurderousChicken · 06/08/2020 12:21

Women 5'8" and over. Men 6'+

I'm 5'10 and it's quite rare to meet another woman I can look directly in the eyes.

Yeahnahmum · 06/08/2020 12:26

Women above 5.9
Men above 6.2

IAmFleshIAmBone · 06/08/2020 12:27

Woman = 5'7"+
Man = 6'+

I'm almost 5'4" and my partner is 6'4"

I feel like most of the women I know range from 5' to 5'7", and I don't know that many who are taller than that. Don't know many men over 6'.

BlueJava · 06/08/2020 12:32

Women over 5' 9" and men over 6' 2".

torydeathdrug · 06/08/2020 12:34

5’9 for a woman I guess & over 6’2 for a man - I’m under 5’2 so used to most people being taller than me but that doesn’t make them particularly tall!

GinWithASplashOfTonic · 06/08/2020 12:34

Women 5"7
Men 6"2
