Im 6'1''. Is it just me or are people our age (assuming we're all around the twenties) taller than our parents. 6 foot must be around average height now, its not even considered tall, unlike our parents time. Must be something to do with health and nutrition I reckon.

and yes only the continentals use the metric system;)

I'm 5 ft 11, which I'm told is tall for a girl.

Generally, it sucks.

A whole one foot and one inch taller than me, and I am green with envy.

At least you passed my height on the way up, whereas I will never know what its like to be seen by a barman

Haha, you reminded me of Father Ted.

5'11" is nice. as a tall guy, it's nice to meet a woman who i can look in her eyes. i'm married now, but when i was single, i dated one woman who was 4'11" and another who was 6'2". none of that matters. it's just the chemistry.......

tall is nice, short is nice....whatever.....
