Do you personally feel 188cm is tall for a man?

Question

I am not an American and in the country I live in people use the metric system but I know there are a lot of Americans who use this website so here is 188cm converted into feet and inches

Lionman95 · Accepted Answer

I´m not American but I would say any guy over 180cm/ 5"9 is tall for a guy as that is the average height of a guy in many countries. I´m 189cm and though I know some guys that are taller I´d consider myself tall.

Joshydavid25 · Accepted Answer

Yes, even at 5'11 you are than majority of the world's population.. So 6'2" is objectively considered tall in the vast majority of countries..

WhiteSteve · Answer

I don’t have my height to the exact centimeter, but I’m 6’2, so I’m probably at or around 188 cm. So, from that height myself…yes and no. Personally, I don’t feel like I’m that big. I just feel average. Like it’s funny to me when another guy is insecure about being under six feet, and they’re like 5’10, 5’11…it’s not like I’m towering over them, in my own point of view, staring down at the top of their heads, haha. I also come from an American football background, and there are some LARGE men who play. In semipro, I had a teammate who must’ve been 6’6, and several who were like 6’4. And weight-wise, some were around 300 pounds. I was 225 at my biggest, so I just never thought of myself as huge, not like those guys. But now I play hockey, just an adult men’s league, and I’m not around a purposeful concentration of huge guys, just regular dudes. So now, I’m often the biggest guy, or one of the biggest. Put it this way: I’m NEVER one of the smaller guys. I’m in the white jersey and white helmet here. You can see I’m just bigger than everyone, by a considerable margin, other than my teammate #57 in the white jersey/black helmet. But 57 is noticeably smaller, he’s maybe 5’10-5’11, but he’s someone I personally assess as “my size”…but maybe he’s a size down, in reality.

Do you personally feel 188cm is tall for a man?

Meanwhile, this guy I skate over to who’s tied up with my (actually short) teammate, that’s a guy I see and I’m like “oh shit…that dude’s a monster”, but then I see myself next to him on camera and we’re about the same size, much closer than I would guess. (This team in all black is HUGE, almost all six-footers, some are like 6’4 I’d guess, like the guy standing next to the goal…so I look smaller here😂)

I’m in the red jersey with the white middle, and white helmet

So I see that and I’m like “damn…if I perceive that guy to be a huge guy, but he’s really my size, how do I look to smaller guys? Maybe I AM big?”

I think the answer is that 6’2 is “regular-big.” Like where I’m from, I’ll encounter people my height or taller multiple times a day. 6’4+, especially when you start getting to be like 6’6 and up, that’s “holy-shit-big”, haha, and more rare. Common Big vs Rare Big, basically.

My hang up is that I'm a 178cm right? I can lie, and say I'm 180 something and she will still let me fuck the shit out of her pussy even if she's taller than me. I say I'm 178cm and I'll get complete rejection right from the start.

Now, you tell me why you chicks give such a damn about those numbers in the profiles... but it all goes out the window when we're face to face? It's basically "where are we going to fuck" as soon as we meet. She could be 6'11" or 3'9" tall and it doesn't make a shit of a difference when you get past the online phase... she's going to suck my dick like a champ and try to get me to impregnate her. Is what it is and I'm like not that fucking tall... not short... but not tall either.

I'm just saying the women drive this "judgement machine" and I just find ways to not deal with it. Women don't really care but they do on apps, and shit like that.

Considering Im only one centimeter taller than 188 I can tell you for certainty: it’s considered by tall by the majority of the planet

I have always lived the tall guy’s life for better or worse.

No one ever looked at me and said “yeah you’re average height” even those who are significantly taller than me

bolverk · Answer

For an American man whose average height is around 5'9", 6'2" is tall, I'm a Brit and I lived in the US for 10 years where I was with my height of 6'2" was regarded as an oddity, as only 3.9 percent of American Men are 6'2 or taller.

Anonymous · Answer

I don't understand the logic of those people, who answered that 6'2 isn't tall for a man, or just above average, especially when the average worldwide height for men in most countries of the world is 5'9-5'10.. A 6'2 guy would stand out as significantly taller than the average man in the streets in many countries of the world.

Likes2drive · Answer

It’s taller than average and I’m only an inch above average which is 5 foot 9 inches here the average, so 6‘2“ is definitely taller, but not really tall, I imagine when you start getting too tall, you can’t fit in cars properly and your legs hang over the bed and clothes and shoes areharder to find

Anonymous · Answer

It is 3.9% of men according to the internet. So by that definition it is rare and tall.

But personally to me it isn't tall because I'm 6'5" so I got a unique view on height. In my mind I'm avg. height. But considering I get asked at least once a week, "how tall are you" it's a constant reminder that I am not avg.

Vesuvius87 · Answer

That's my husband height. He's bigger than both my father and my brother, whom are respectively 5'10 and 5'11.  6'2 is indeed above average for a man in any country so yes it's tall.

Girl, that is tall, yes, perhaps not overwhelmingly tall but it definitely is NOT TOO TALL either, it is very tall but not to the point of looking like bigfoot's love child.

You can speak English but not use our system of measurement. Do you not understand that the AngloSaxons invented inches, feet, and yards 100s of years before your snooty litte metric system?

debbiedenise · Answer

Taller than average, but not ultra gigantic by any measure. I think that would be reserved (for Americans) at about 6ft. 4in. and above. That certainly depends on which country you are in though.
