What height do you consider to be tall?

[WellThisWentWell]

For both, a woman and a man...

5’11” for a woman and 6’2” for a man

6 foot 4 for a man

See DB is this height & I consider it very tall. Largely because he's a size 13 foot & foot size generally gets bigger & he really struggles with what shoes he can buy.

I'm 6'7. Anyone less than that is short. Lol
I also have a tall friendship group. All over 6'4

Women over 5'9 and men over 6'

ONS state that average heights are 5'3" for women and 5'9" for men

I visited Mexico last year and everyone seemed very short....

Stats show mexico shorter than the UK

people over 18 years of age, found that the median height was (5'4″) for Mexican males and (5'2″) for females.

That explains why I felt so tall there!

Women 5"10+
Men 6"3+

I'm a woman of 6"1 so tall

5'9" or above for a woman
6'2" or above for a man

Im 5ft 6" and my dh is 6ft 2"
So I'd say women 5ft 8" and men over 6ft.

I'm 5 '9 and feel tall with women my age and older, although loads of my dd18 friends are this height.
Men over 6'2 as the men in my family are tall ds 16 is 6ft 5 ( again loads of his friends are over 6ft) .

5'10 or over for a woman. 6'2 or over for a man.

I'm 6'2 (was 6'3), and when I read some women of maybe 5'7, 5'8 bemoaning how hard it is being so 'tall', it's almost funny. They haven't got a clue.

5'9" for a woman and 6'2" for a man.
I'm 5'7" and although I'm taller than most of my female friends I don't feel I'm particularly tall.
My dad is 6' which feels pretty average to me, whereas my brother is 6'3" and seems tall.

I'm 5'11" and people generally consider me tall for a woman. So personally I'd consider a man over 6'1" tall.

Woman: 5’6”+
Man: 6‘1”+

@JustHereWithMyPopcorn

The average heights for women and men in UK are 5'4" and 5'10" I believe. Most people are saying women over 5'9" they'd consider tall and men over 6'. So they think women are tall when they are 5" taller than average but men are tall at 2" above average. Very odd.

Yes, though I don't think it's down to male ego-stoking necessarily.

Because all the people 5'8" and under - over 75% of women plus some proportion of men (maybe as many as 50% of the population) - would view anyone 5'10" and over as tall, male or female.

So to be a "tall person" you have to be 5'10" or over - even though a 5'7" woman is definitely taller.

I'm 5'9", and I usually come out the same height as all my friends in heels of 3" or more.

Women 5'7 and over, men 6ft and over.
I'm under 5'2'' though so most people strike me as tall

Women 5ft 6

Men 6ft and up

I'm a woman and I'm bang on 6ft. Anything over 5ft 9 I'd reckon is tall.

Men 6ft 4 +

I think I read people can start shrinking from 30 & women can lose 2" 🤷‍♀️

5ft5 for a woman and 5ft 10 for a man.

The OP doesn't appear to be coming back to the thread. How very odd.

Why odd? What if they just wanted other people’s views and no chat? Not the kind of post that needs feedback is it?

Well I’m 5’11 and according to the website below
I’m 99.543 Percentile, so basically 99.5% of women in the UK are shorter than me.

You can find out exactly what percentage of women in the UK are taller or shorter than you here:

so no more speculation required! :)
