Yeah, 5ft 8 is really, really short

Marcus.Aurelius

Personally I'm 6 ft 2 (Male) and 15 stone but broad shouldered. In my own mind men average around 5 ft 9 to 6 ft. A tall fella would be over 6 ft 4. Women to my mind are average at around 5 ft 4, tall if 5 ft 9 or above I would think myself.

For shortness, I suppose 5 ft 5 for men and 5 ft for girls. But it differs from person to person. That's just my own idea.

Raoul

Im the same as OP. Im about ten and a half stone and male!

Ever since I first met you and Brian, I've considered anyone under 6ft to be really short, and 6'0" to 6'5" to be average.

I'm 5'5, so pretty short. Except my flatmate is about 5'1 and I feel like a giant next to her.

Wibbs

5 11 and around the 11 stone mark

Lirange

6' 0" 3/4
13.4 Stone
Shoe Size 12

Nalz

ShaneU

Any men under 5 ft 10" are short imo, I'm 6ft 2, 14 stone.

Nalz

say it aint so!!

humbert

I'm 6 foot, would like to be any taller or shorter, but mostly not any shorter.

helimachoptor

5'11 but prob 6 foot its been a while since i measure myself, when i was younger I was 9 stone up til about 22, which was not a healthy weight for me as I looked like I walked straight of Auschwitz :eek:
A healthy 12 stone now though i'll be hitting the gym with a vengeance shortly to get some definition back!

It's not really all it's cracked up to be, low doorways, Ryanair flights, aforementioned people poking you in the eyes with umbrellas(...looks at Faith...)
also you can't get away with much because people can see/remember you.
But aside from all that I never had to use a fake ID when I was younger and spend less time fumbling in my wallet for one now.

You're fooking mad! I'd say 5'11" to 6'1" or 2" to be average. Anything over 6'4" is pretty tall.

I'm 6'1" and about 75kg.

Well as I say, I wouldn't like to be taller but I would hate to be short. 6 foot is just right for me, though I do suffer from potential umbrella blindness.

Creamy Goodness

5ft 10" or 11" been about 4-5 years since i measured.

Think 5f 9 is average height for males in Ireland
5f 5 for women....

You get 24.9 on the BMI Scale, 25 is overweight. I got 25.2, BMI isn't a perfect system by any means though.

leninbenjamin

i'm around 5ft 10? i'd consider that about average.

I know it's not actually average, but a lot of my friends were unusually tall when I was 14/15 and I just came to see them as average after a while.

It gets very inaccurate for very athletic people with a high muscle mass.

humbert

I got 25.6 on that thing and if I'm fat then I've bad news for most of the people I know.

It's ok, 5'9" is midget country.

Pigwidgeon

im a girl and about 5ft 9

rossie1977

6ft 5 average :eek:, not on this planet

i am just over 5'11 barefoot and what i find is that alot of people overestimate their own height, i have a friend that claims 5'9 but he is no more than 5'7, another friend claims 5'7 for herself but she is about 5'5 1/2

the average height of males in ireland is just over 5'9 (176cm or 5'9.3) and average for females is 5'5 http://www.muziqpakistan.com/board/index.php?showtopic=63115

I'm really skinny though :pac:
People are so suprised when they hear how heavy I am.

Davidius

5'6", 9 stone, male. 16 so I could still grow 1-2 inches. Last of six kids and the 2nd tallest of an eight person household. So I feel tall when I'm inside. :pac:

Also I'd say average height is about 5'09" for a man with 95% certainty. Average American height is about 5'10" and we're definitely at least a tiny bit smaller than them.

Loopy

5ft 8.. Lassie

aidan24326

male 6' 1"

about 13 stone

KnifeWRENCH

Male, 18: I'm somewhere between 5'10" and 5'11". I don't how much I weigh (a bit too much probably )

pq0n1ct4ve8zf5

In and around the 5'8"/5'9" mark, female, nineteen, think I'm about nine stone (I don't have a scales/I don't care enough to find out). I wouldn't be the girl people would see coming and say "Jaysus look at the tall one", but I do look freakish in heels

connundrum

6'3 and 16 lovely stones which puts me in the overweight catergory on the vhi yoke, but I've just had my bmi calculated on an electronic calculator thingy today which put me at 24, which is good

I'll have it down to 20 by the end of the summer.

Davidius

Sure being tall must be an awful pain in the ass. I'm short and one of the most perfect people ever. The further you move from the height of perfection (my height) the more flawed you become.

I'm an accomplished astronaut, a master of infiltration and espionage, a crime fighter, scientist, engineer, mathematician and every other cool* thing you can think of.

*Based on my idea of cool of course.

Azureus

5'4'', 9stone-ish.. 23 on that bmi yoke-im normal!!!!
