I'm 6 feet tall, but I don't feel that tall?

[mjmlag]

I hear people say "people that are 6 feet are really tall", but I just don't feel that tall to be honest. I'm a lot taller then most other people, but there are still plenty of people taller then me.

[Taltos]

Well, you're average. Tall starts from 195 cm.

People think I'm joking around when I say this (people from other countries), but it's true. Most young people in my country are around 190 - 195 cm tall, so that's pretty much the average of young people here. But I guess Americans are really short people. Every American I've seen is about 165 up to 180 (and I've only seen one that was 180cm tall).

I guess it all depends on where you live.

[Thiezz]

So where are you from?

[Shaun]

Lithuania and several Scandinavian countries are the only ones with a higher average than the US.

[Taltos]

I'm from Croatia.

And I'm average here. 193cm... =o)

[Papa_percocet_]

Taltos a quick Google search says you're wrong l, average male height in croatia is 180cm or 5foot11…

I know what you mean, where I live its the norm for guys to be around the 6ft margin in height so to me its just normal. I am 6'1 but I guess I do feel kinda tall when I am around mostly girls only since I notice I tend to be a lot taller only than

[mjmlag]

Yeh I feel the same way.

[justthewayyouare]

It's tall but not overly tall. I mean to the girls who are 5'3" you're going to look tall but I'm 5'8" and my boyfriends an inch shorter than you and he doesn't seem overly tall. Even my ex who was 6'3" didn't seem that tall. I guess it's all about perspective.

Im 5 ft 7 and where I live people are sort of short. lol they tend to stare and stuff. its handy being tall though - while shopping you can reach the top shelf! but then again being tall isn't really a emotion? so..

[Red_Raconteur]

Trust me, you're tall. I'm 5'5", and I once wore heels that made me 5'11". I felt like a giant.

[Voltaire]

I'm 6'1, I feel pretty average. You'll never feel tall unless you're pro basketball player sized, most other people will just seem short.

[Shaun]

Because you don't compare yourself to shorter people, you wish you were taller so you compare yourself to taller people. I'm 6'2" and I'm the same way, I feel like I'm average height, but I'm not.

[SayHelloToMyAfro]

Most people are smaller than you but there are still a good amount that are taller, you start feeling tall at like 6'4 I think.

[Thiezz]

6' isn't tall, you dwarf :p

I'm somewhere between 6'2" and 6'3" and I'm slightly above average :p

[Tentacle_Therapist]

Goddamn tree-people. :(

[Thiezz]

I guess I should visit the USA one day if only to loom over people all day.

[tex151]

Wow your around 3 inches taller than him, so then your not that tall either now if you were 6'10 or something then yes you would be but, three inches that's nothing.

[Thiezz]

I never said I was tall.

[InMyHeart]

maybe cause you aren''t that tall. you're not short either, you're average.

[tex151]

hes above average, average is 5'10.

[Shaun]

Average height for US male is 5'10". He's on the tall side.

[mjmlag]

I am, I measured.

[Tentacle_Therapist]

Well you certainly ain't short, yo.

[DebiPie]

Maybe you aren't that tall.

[djhohrath]

[Shadoww]

[TwistedLogic]
