What height do you consider to be tall?

[WellThisWentWell]

For both, a woman and a man...

I'm 5' 5'' and have been that height since i left school in the 80s. People are definitely getting taller because i felt tall/average height back then but these days i feel pretty short.

3 of my daughters are already taller than me

My MIL is always working how 'teeny tiny' she is into the conversation but she's only an inch or so shorter than me!

5ft 7 for women
6ft for men

For British / Irish people, anything over 5’8 for women and 6’ for men.

Average heights vary considerably in different countries, though. I’m 5’11 and I really notice this when I travel around. In Britain, I feel tall. In Mediterranean countries, I feel like a giant. In Scandinavian countries or northern Germany, I feel average.

5’9” for a woman and 6’2” for a man - my DH is 6’ and I’d say he was on the taller side of average.

5ft 9 for a woman
6ft 2 for a man

I’m 5 ft 7 and would say I am taller than average, but not tall.

5’10 and up for women
6’2 and up for men

Man - over 6 ft
Woman - over 5ft 8

Why are teenagers so much taller now? Are they really?

I'm 5ft 7.5. I would say 5ft 6 and over is tall. 6ft for a man.

5ft 8 for women
6ftnfor men.

I do think that we are getting taller. I live near a secondary school and each year the kids seem to be getting bigger.

Also both of my DC were born longer than average and both midwives said they were seeing more and more haevier and longer babies each year.

Women over 5.7 ( im.5.10) men over 6ft

Women over 5’8”
Men over 6’2”

I'd, say over 5'8 for women and 6'1 for men.

Over 5'7 I think for women, 6'3 for men

For a woman 5"7 and above.

For a man 6" and above.

I’d say 5 foot 10 for a woman and 6 foot 4 for a man

Average heights have increased but not by as much as you might think if you're primarily thinking about white people as your reference point. Height obviously varies by ethnicity and it happens that the UK's largest minority groups are groups that are shorter, on average.

I’m 5’7 and think of myself as average height but having said that I’m taller than most of the women I know. I’d say 5’8 for a woman and over 6ft for a man.

5ft9 and 6ft2

@RandomTree

Woman 5'9" Man 6"

Yeah

I'm barely 5'2".

Everybody is tall...

I'm 5'9 but very slim so I dont have a tall 'presence'. I once got referred to as 'little Wolf'

I'd say over 6'2 for a man, over 5'10 for a woman to be noticeably tall.

5'10" for a woman (average is 5'3.5")
6' for a man (average is 5'9")

I am 5'11" (female) so taller than most men. And most of my female friends and family are taller than average, so my concept of average is higher than it really is.

I do think that we are getting taller.

it's marginal though in the UK if your comparing to the last 10 yrs or so.
Babies are heavier because of better nutrition, less smoking etc.

Dutch people are tall, it's the only country I've actually felt average in height.
