    Just over 2m.

    And I can promise you most of you are over-estimating! I'd elaborate further but I'm too tired and going to bed.

    At school we were always measured in ft and inches, and yet had 30cm rulers and metre sticks about the place.

    They fcuked our minds.

    169-170 cm, hate my height. Put it down to insufficient protein intake during childhood and adolescence (due to low income and parental ignorance) combined with slightly inferior genes. Average height has grown enormously in this country over the last 2 generations. I'm extremely jealous of this generation for whom getting a hot lunch with meat for their school lunch is not considered an enormous treat. I look at my parents and my Mam is about average height for women her age and my dad is about an inch shorter than average for men of his generation, yet I'm about 4 to 4.5 inches shorter than average for my peers and 6 inches shorter than many. I was way shorter than other people when I was in college and hated it, used to be utterly furious about it sometimes actually because I had other stuff going on in my mind I was trying to process without constantly feeling inferior over something I could never change.

    With better nutrition, healthcare and greater knowledge of general good health any male under 6ft will be short within 15 years.

    I'm not looking forward to shrinking as I age and ending up 5'5 in the 2060s/70s when young people are 8 inches taller on average and I'm like Old Biff Tannen walking around

    NO imperial units

    Dafuq? Call me old fashioned, but height and weiner length just look weird when expressed in metric units.

    1.7 metres.

    Disproportionately long legs though, and size ten clown feet, so I have all the problems of a tall person when on public transport, RyanAir flights, etc.

    twelve and a half inches...



    .......oh wait, wrong thread.

    That's the 'multiply your willy size by six' thread.

    I seen a tv program where a guy had his legs broken in order to add 2cm to his height. He was 5'8", short yes, but not incredibly. An ok height for a man is 5'10", so he nearly made it, ffs no need to get your legs surgically broken to grow an inch.

    Men do overestimate their height also. Seems to be a sensitive issue or the male equivalent of a muffin top or fat arse for women.

    How tall would you be with your metre stick up your hole?

    Same height just a sore hole with it

    Just over 2m.

    And I can promise you most of you are over-estimating! I'd elaborate further but I'm too tired and going to bed.

    Are you still up? You were going to bed two minutes earlier, did you measure yourself again?

    The rulers had inches too, 12!

    Glad to see I'm in the average height range. On the topic of younger generations being taller. There's an 18 month old next door who is almost 3 feet tall. Same height as some of the 3 year olds around here. There's a 2 year old across the street about the same height.

    They're gonna be giants.

    My ma told me about a guy that lived in her town in the late 50s with size 14 feet and he could not get shoes to fit him. He had three options:

    A) Get a cobbler to make shoes
    B) Dont wear shoes
    C) Go to hospital and get them to chop your toes off so you can wear size 11

    Bizzarely C prevailed, I **** you not. Stone mad!!

    192cm, 15 stone. Taller than most people I come across. I was always in the top 2 tallest kids in my year at school. I used to dislike my height for that fact but as an adult, women find it sexy so I embrace it.
