What percentage of the male population in the US is 6 feet tall or over?

[sketchy]

I think it depends a lot on the age group. The overall average is around 5'10" but that's for all adult males, including guys who are your father's and grandfather's age - and I don't know anyone who's shorter than their father, so I suspect 6'0" is probably very average for a 20-30 year old male.

I looked this up a while back it appears that approximately 15% of us are over six feet tall. The remaining studies have shown that the average male height in the U.S. is either 5'9" or 5'10" depending upon which research you choose to go by. Hopefully that answered your question.

only 15%? damn. thanks, man.

If you look at television or other media, you'd think there was nothing but 6 foot plus guys around, plus girls generally like that extra height. I used to think I wasn't that tall at 6'1", but learned some statistics and realized that not bad at all! Good posture can really help too.

[Asker]

yeah I wish I was that tall.

Work on your posture as much as possible. Wear clothing that has vertical lines. You can't add inches, but you can maximize what you already have. This is true for me at my height, as it is for yours. Work with what you have my friend!

haha, well I wouldn't not go out with a guy because he was shorter or my height, if I truly loved a guy height wouldent matter!

[Asker]

3.9% of the male population is 6'2" or over. At 6'9.5", I happen to fall into that very small minority. On the other hand, only 10% of the female population is 5'10" or taller.

[Everyday26]

It's 6% not 3.9%
