    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.

    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.

    Many worry about Artificial Intelligence. I worry far more about Organic Idiocy.

    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.

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

    this says different, but i heard on a tv show not too long ago the figures above. Can never be spot on obviously!

    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.
