Is 6'1"/1.85m tall for a guy?

[Anonymous]

I was measured at the hospital barefoot at 6'1". I am 18 this year and I'm done growing taller. Would you consider my height tall or at least a good height for a guy? I have heard that 6'1" is perfect but I don't believe that. I feel nowadays girls are attracted to 6'6"+ giants and basketball players only. Also, my brother is 6'4"/1.93m so I kinda feel short. Should I consider leg lengthening surgery? Small note: If you're taller than me, obviously you'll be more biased and consider it not tall. Also, basketball and Netherlands don't count.

Yes

No

Average

I'm 5'9. Your short in the tall group for men. I'm tall in the short group for girls. Don't be self conscious about your height. You were meant to be that height because it is perfect for that special someone in the future. Who cares what others think. Be honored to have that height because some people wish they had your height.

[GothAncap]

Nah, fuck this "acceptance" shit when it has to do with accepting things that are bad (provided that you can change them).

You're not short LOL 5'9" is really tall looking for a girl, I like but your sugar coated bs would be a turn off IRL

[Anonymous]

Your body is still developing and you may say you’re done growing but I think you still got abit to go till 22

[Sammy256]

I dated a guy who was 6'9 (ex basketball player) so you good. Its not to tall.

[Other_Tommy_Wiseau]

lol, the dude is already out of the league?

[Sammy256]

@Other_Tommy_Wiseau lol yup he is

[Other_Tommy_Wiseau]

what's his name and who did he play for?

[Sammy256]

@Other_Tommy_Wiseau lol I rather not say

[Other_Tommy_Wiseau]

you have to. you brought it up! i NEEEEEEEED to know!!!

[Mr_Mystery]

@Other_Tommy_Wiseau He played for "Her Imagination" thaths the name of the team, if that will satisfy your curiosity

[Sammy256]

@Mr_Mystery I dont even remember. He played in his early 20s. he's 30 now. He tore his ACL and moved to cali. He never played again.

[Octavius]

Well I'm 6'3 and I still consider you tall.

DO NOT get leg lengthening surgery that will destroy your life for like a year being in surgeries constant pain and physical rehab and it'll cause problems later in life and you'll look ridiculous having legs that are not proportional to your torso or arms.

[Eric644]

actually they have surgeries that now lengthen your body in a proportional way, I want to get it done and be 5'11

[Thor696]

6 feet is the magic number, over that is gravy. I don't think most girls are all that interested in dating giant, basketball-like dudes. I think girls kind of like it when they look good as a couple and not strange - as is the case with someone like Shak and whatever girl he puts on his arm.

[chrisbigman]

In my family, 6'1" is quite tall. In fact, it's one of the tallest heights, if not THE tallest. I'm 6'1". HOWEVER, there are other families and other people that are taller (and shorter). It all depends on who you're around. But 6'1" is rather average or perhaps slightly above average. And you may think you are done growing, but it's possible you could grow another inch or two.

[youssefX15]

just don't it. some people wish if they are that tall. if you do a surgery you might face life-time problems and you might look a bit funny to some people if your legs aren't proportional to the rest of your body. 6'1 is not close to being even short, it's taller that the average height for every country.

[Dtegesd123]

I know the statistics say 5'9 is average, but I think it's more like 5'7. And the only reason girls are so attracted to basketball players is because they balling out of their ass.

[Xelebrum]

You're taller, taller than average, but you're not gigantic like Shaq.

[Asker]

how tall are you?

[Xelebrum]

I'm 5'11"-6'

[Asker]

lol shoes don't count.

[Xelebrum]

Oh and yes most girls prefer tall guys, but only a few of them would prefer 6'5" and up. Most girls, at least the ones I know of, would feel more intimidated than turned on by a guy who's almost 7 feet tall.

[Xelebrum]

If shoes don't count, then I'm 5'11"

[princessfromjupiter]

"Also, basketball and Netherlands don't count." Well Dutch guys are my faves and this is where I live so shut up 😂

[linaashxx]

To be super tall in Holland is normal 😂

[princessfromjupiter]

@linaashxx There are just different norms to height here I suppose 😅 I’m 5’10” and by all means not a giant here

[linaashxx]

You’re 5’10 and I’m a 5’4 😢 but tall guys like petite girls 😜

[princessfromjupiter]

@linaashxx Yeah my observations and experiences don’t necessarily confirm that 😂

[0112358]

I used to work with three dutch guys who were 6/5, 6'7", 7"

[Prettygurl12]

Average American man is 5'9.

You're tall, but not TALL tall... if that makes sense.

[Eric644]

dude im only 5'7, lucky you, yeah im thinking about getting surgery too so I can be 5'11 or 6 even

[K1ll3r98]

i would say that is average. i'm 17 an 6'3" and i consider myself just taller than average

[Asker]

really? where do you live?

[K1ll3r98]

Australia. most guys i see are usually around 6' and taller. i guess different countries have different height averages

[Asker]

But according to Wikipedia the average height for Australian males ages 18-24 is 177.8 cm (5 ft 10 in). Only Netherlands has 183cm (6 ft) as average

[K1ll3r98]

interesting. ii guess the little town i live in is a bit of a strange one. we do have short guys but most are 6' and above. strange

[Asker]

Not really. I've heard about how certain areas or places where the average height is different. In Hamburg, Germany the confirmed average is 6ft1, but that's not the average for all of Germany.

[Asker]

What that means is that you live in an area/town where people are taller than average.

[K1ll3r98]

hmm, the more you know. that actually makes a bit of sense

[Mr_Mystery]

Its not how tall you are but how tall you stand. Its a funny story that i saw a confident small guy around 5 foot 3 that stole a girl to big fella in the club.

[Temporal_Ice]

Height doesn't really matter much. But to answer your question, 5'7'' is average for American men.

[QuestionMan]

I'm 6 feet (1.83 m) and I'm told I'm tall so you definitely are.

[SteamBuns]

Dude you're fine You're also above average I'm 5'11" N girls still love me

[Eric644]

would love to be your height dude, thinking about getting surgery to get that done

[SteamBuns]

@Eric644 How tall are you right now? N thanks I don't know why girls make such an issue over height I mean it's nothing we can change... I wish more girls would'nt have a problem with dating shorter guys They're so fuxking shallow

[Eric644]

5'7, never really had that much with a problem with women, but i do have to admit that I have to work a lot harder than my taller friends. I would like to be above average or tall for once be able to walk into a club and have women immediately flock to you. I also want to be taller not really just for women but I would like to do it for myself as well

[Eric644]

"not much of". I mean I've managed to date taller women, but still I would just like to be tall for me, call it height dysphoria or dysmorphia if you want lol

[Poormanscomedian]

Average today. The new male average is near 6 ft or 6 ft 1

[Vegeta01]

Well, I don't have to say anything more. The poll speaks for itself.

[insidetherabithole]

I am 6’1 1/2” just a little taller than you. It’s huge being 6’1”.

[loveshorro]

I know how you feel. I’m 5’9 and a girl lol

[Dillonvill96]

We are almost the same height I’m 6’1.5 barefoot

[Dillonvill96]

I’m 6’2 a little taller than you I’m 209lbs and I think you are tall if you are over 6’3 you are really tall like Abraham Lincoln 😂

[Modell054]

Its in the taller end but i wouldn't call it tall, im 6'3

[sexybooty01]

Yes it is tall but its a good size for your age

[Other_Tommy_Wiseau]

it's a solid height. not that tall, but not short.

[BreatheMe19]

It's tall.
