    I'm about 6'2 though seem to have shrank to 6,1 over the years.

    The tallest person i know of was supposedly the tallest person in all Ireland and he was caught shoplifting.

    I had saw him about but apparently it didn't take the psni too long to lift him as he was unfeasibly tall. Think it was something stupid he shoplifted as well. Like an alarm clock.....

    Think the cops laughed at him more than anything.

    My sister is very embarrassed about her height. She's 5'11 and four quarters!

    I'm 6'4" and it grand but I never feel like I get the full value out of a hug :(

    I'm shorter than some and taller than others.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 99 ✭✭Healy Rae Permit Holder


    We are all the same height lying down


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,534 ✭✭✭SV


    I'm a short arse. 5'10.

    That's average height. Short arses are 5'7/8 or lower

    Well amongst my friends I am anyway, they're all 5-6 inches taller than me.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,043 ✭✭✭MurdyWurdy


    I'm "petite" aka a shortarse. 5foot2

    I'd love to be taller. Tall people can weigh more without looking ginormous. If you're short any weight gained is very noticeable.

    A lot of my friends would be around my height or a bit taller. 6ft is becoming the average by the looks of things

    I'm 6'4. So I'm tall.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 99 ✭✭Healy Rae Permit Holder


    What is the actual measurement in mm or inches or hands to be a tall person?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,579 ✭✭✭charlietheminxx


    5'7'', tallish for a girl, just enough to make buying jeans/trousers difficult.

    I'm about 5'9 or 5'10, but my party trick is that my sh1ts out do my height.

    I'm a girl and I'm 5'10, so I'm kind of tall.

    Well in Ireland the average for men is 5'10. think its about 5'4 for a woman but not sure.

    Tallest person I know is 6'8''.

    5'10 is about right for Women. You're a midget, welcome to midgetville :D

    I've only spoke to 3 or 4 women about this height or taller in my life and they were all models.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,758 ✭✭✭✭TeddyTedson


    I'm 6ft 2".
    The tallest person I know is a lad from school who I think was 6ft 10". He may have been an inch shorter I think that's what it was though. He was also absolutely huge. Genetic freak.
    I'd hate to be that tall and very skinny. I saw a picture of Peter Crouch on the beach earlier and it's not a good look.
    My height is something I've never cared too much about though. As long as I wasn't tiny or crazily tall I wouldn't care.

    ...and am deffo not a model!! :P I'm three inches taller than average but tall clothes start at 5'8'' and up so stuff is rarely the right length.

    You've only spoken, in your entire life, to 3 or 4 women 5'10 or taller and you expect us to believe you move in circles with models

    Are you sure you didn't mean 3 or 4 women full stop?

    5ft 10 is pretty tall for a woman though. It's not freakishly tall, but it's definitely taller than average.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,987 ✭✭✭Legs.Eleven


    5'5" The Irish average for a woman, apparently.

    Yay biker hug! The very manliest hug there is!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,076 ✭✭✭Eathrin


    6' 4.
    I would consider 6' 0 only to be above average.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,080 ✭✭✭✭Maximus Alexander


    6'2 and I don't think of myself as being tall really.

    That's some leap of logic there, I don't move in circles with models but I do happen to have some that are friends.

    3 or 4 full stop? Bit of a projection there I think


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 99 ✭✭Healy Rae Permit Holder

    Im 8 feet tall.

    I saw an absolute mutant in town there one day recently.

    He was towering over my 6ft7 friend and 6ft 3 me.

    He must've been 7ft.

    I also remember playing basketball when I was a kid and there was a fella playing with Killester who was 6ft 10 at 15 or 16 years of age.

    I'm 5ft1. So tall. Much height. Wow.

    I love these After Hours threads where the average male height is 6'2".

    Drunken Irish Zulus on the net when they should be asleep. :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,687 ✭✭✭✭Penny Tration


    I'm very tall, I'm 5‘1. :D

    Tallest person I know is an ex, he's 6‘10.

    I'm less than average and 6'4. We are allowed stand on a box I presume.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,802 ✭✭✭beks101


    Five feet and half an inch and actively shrinking.
    Tall for a seven year old child.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,285 ✭✭✭cros13


    I'm 197cm. There's a guy in work who has a good 25-30cm on top of that.
    Looking up at someone is a new experience for me.

    The most hilarious thing is he sometimes drives his girlfriend's Micra.
    The second noteworthy thing is that he's Portuguese.
    I imagine when he goes home it's a bit like the Gulliver/Godzilla feeling I get when I visit Tokyo (luckily most of the doors there are at least below eye level for me, so I don't split my head much more than at home).


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,904 ✭✭✭✭Galwayguy35


    Somewhere between 5.6" and 5.7" so yeah I'm a shortarse.

    I had a father who was my height and a mother who was 5ft so knew I would never be tall, I now see why women mostly prefer tall men.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,127 ✭✭✭kjl


    6f5, and sexy as hell


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,068 ✭✭✭LoonyLovegood


    5'6. It's all a long torso though, I've tiny legs!
