I'm from Tuzla, Bosnia.
Btw, just yesterday and night before we had beer fests in downtown, it was pretty crowded, one in four was over 6'2, couple were shorter than 5'10' shortest probably about 5'7 and tallest up to 6'7, majority being 5'11 to 6'2. I blent in fairly well at between 6' and 6'1. On couple of occasions i was towered by group of dudes. Later last night i went to local night club again it was mostly filled with 18 to 22 yo's i felt somewhat on shortish side. Only fewer were head shorter. Many girls were up to 5'11 in heels.
-In that case, people who to clubs in Sweden where I live might even be taller. I think at least 1 in 3 are easily 6'2+ here and not a few girls are 6'1 without heels.

@Ipa I believe that. Some averages in Bosnia for men can go up as high as 183-184 cm though it's only 181.2 cm for the whole country. I was there a couple of years back and I felt lower average (30th percentile) but not short.
Johan 185 cm said on 22/May/23
I went on holiday to Oberhausen in Germany. Expected it to be similar to my home The Netherlands. Wasn't close. Average man in Germany looks to be 5'10 range -178 cm. Also far less extreme heights in the city. I think the tallest guy i saw was 6'7". Germany seems to be similar to Belgium.
Arrived home and immediately felt average again, always funny to go abroad and instantly become tall.
Sam83 said on 22/May/23
@Ipa that’s interesting to know you felt on shortish side around 6’-6’1- Im 5’11, so assume would definitely been on the shorter side then! Would you say quite a few girls would have been taller than this with heels, say 6ft or over?
I guess many are therefore fairly tall already, or were just in high shoes maybe- although would be interesting to know the average and tallest heights when in heels!

I still think calling someone a "little girl" is RUDE and condescending to say the least.
That's rude and condescending, but insulting half the women in the world (5'2 and under) and calling them unfeminine and "womanlets" is not? Mighty double standard there.
Jdubbz said on 22/May/23
@AdrianJacobs:
Ok, I'll stop if you do. As far as calling you 6'0.5, I honestly thought that was your height. If you said otherwise sorry, I've been skimming comments lately. I thought you were over 6' and under 6'1.
As far as 5'2 not being a great height for women, I don't think it's as simple as thinking it's equivalent to 5'7 for a guy and not good because of that. In some ways, being short as a woman is a good thing. Shortness is usually seen as a more feminine trait, so they have they going for them.
Height in general isn't that big of a big deal as far as female attractiveness goes. Not the case for dudes.

I don't think most men care about how tall their offspring ends up. In most cases, men just want to marry a classy and elegant looking woman, which is an impression 5'2-women hardly can give.

If you don't want to be called a little girl, don't act like one. At 5'5, you're not even that much taller than people you claim are "womanlets" who look childlike. From my POV, 5'5 and 5'2 women look more or less equally tiny. If you're getting offended then I'm sorry, but you can't post a radical take like "5'2 women look like children" and not expect and resistance. It's just not a common opinion at all.

Also, I know we are talking about 5'2-women. That's the equivalent of a man who is roughly 5'7, so 5'2 is most definitely very short even for a woman. It's pretty hard for me to see how it's a "great" height.

I’m 5’11 and sister is 5’7 and she may wear these as part of outfit
Click Here My shoes add little or no height. Her friend who is 5’7.5 will wear the same and her partner is 6’3. I’m now thinking i may be the shortest in the group and not sure how noticeable this will be in comparison!
Just wondered if anyone experienced this change in peoples height, if someone wears a really high pair all of a sudden, either going out or for work etc!

Hi Rob, my morning height is 181.5cm. Once I get home from work at around 6, I measure at around 178.5, with my absolute low being 178.25. Is this an abnormal amount of shrinkage? What height should I claim? Thanks

3cm is a greater than average shrinkage. 180cm is right in the middle of your shrinkage, so could be fair.

Pretty cringey and absolutely a bit immature of you to bring up random stuff I said in the past in an attempt to "own me" when it's not even relevant to the topic at hand. The heck does me being a bit uncomfortable (not "absolutely can't stand") around taller men have to do with this? Especially when that happens once in several months? The subject is whether 5'2 women look childlike or not, which I obviously disagree with. How am I "defending short heights?"
Context matters. Like Poster said, are you being willfully dishonest or are you just that out of it? 5'2 for a woman is not the same thing as 5'2 for a man. We're talking about women here. 5'2 is an objectively bad height for a man, so I'd never virtue signal to a 5'2 guy and tell him his height is wonderful. 5'2 for a woman is a great height. Short women don't have the same issues in life as short men.

We respect your RIGHT to have whatever opinion you want. No one is disputing that. Just because you're entitled to your opinion doesn't mean we have to respect that opinion, especially when it's so illogical. There are such things as dumb opinions. For example, thinking the Earth is 6000 years old and flat is a dumb opinion. Nobody here except you seems to think that 5'2 women look childlike, because that makes no sense.
As I said before, there is SO MUCH MORE that goes into looking childlike than height. Would you say a well endowed (you know what I mean) 50 year old 5'2 woman with an hourglass figure and mature looking face looks childish? No, because that makes no sense.

On another note, in the area where I live, there is a large immigrant population, and at the mosque I go to, I always see a consistent amount of 193cm+ middle eastern and south Asian people. It small amount, 4-5, but it is evident that south asians were being held back by nutrition, as these are all second gen people. The tallest we have is I think 195cm.

@Jdubzz and @Poster This goes for both of you: Look, many times both of you haven't respected my opinion of not preferring how 5'2 women look. And this is a height site where each one of us can express his/her opinion FREELY so if I think 5'2 women look childish that's my personal and strong opinion ✅. And I'm not saying something untrue at all, because there are some countries in Europe (but I won't say where exactly) where I heard that people avoid marrying short women because they don't want short offspring. My female friend which is from Europe and lives here in US has told me that. There 5'2 women aren't absolutely considered marriage material.
So both of you don't continue to repeat the same and the same, that they look "absolutely normal" and bla bla bla in your ridiculous opinion. Because they DO "resemble children" like it or not, detest it or not. Oh and also yeah I would like to add that besides children, they do resemble 65 year old grandmas ( which poor of them they lose height from their advanced age) too. Sorry, not sorry.

I tend to think he's just not very bright and has selective reading comprehension.

Altogether, your average European male is at least 5'10.

@Abdul It's 179 cm overral population, 180 cm ethnic swedes, 181 cm young ethnic Swedes. Add 1 cm to the height during the day. There are more immigrants in Sweden than in most euro countries, but it doesn't have a big impact on height since: 1. some immigrants are tall (although a few times less than ethnic scandinavians), 2. some immigrant ethnicities that live in large numbers in Sweden are tall as well (serbians, bosnians) and 3. the immigrant population of Sweden is still relatively low (14.4 %).

5'6 average in Netherlands and Bosnia? You're literally pulling averages out of your ass and you call me not too bright? I guess a truly bright person guesstimates the averages like you do, and then doesn't get it right either.
It's literally measured at 5'7.5 in Bosnia and 5'7 in the Netherlands. 5'2 could easily be described as childish there, and I'm sure it would be described as childish in most European countries because it's simply rare to see adult women that short.

However, when I walked in the streets of NYC or LA I felt I was standing out quite a bit. Maybe because these cities are very ethnically diverse too.

5'2 is a common womens height. People look at it as short because 5'2 generally speaking is pretty short but for women its technically just below average. Id say 5'0 or below is legitimately short for women and can start to become child like.

People like you and I defy the stereotypes. I am not sure how tall you'll end up, but I was exactly your height at 15 and ended up at 199cm. My male cousins in the US aren't as tall as me, but the shortest is 5'10 and the tallest is around 6'1. Above average even by American standards. Genetically, I believe that South Asians can be quite tall. It's just malnutrition that has held us back. I've seen many South Asian families where the parents are not tall at all and the children who grew up in the West end up as much as a foot taller (or even more). That is what happened to me as well.
Henrik said on 16/May/23

Well, I did know an Indian (a Muslim, if it matters) who was ~6ft 6 and his brother was maybe ~6ft 2, and a Syrian refugee (a Christian) I once worked with was 6ft 2 or 3 range, and a Lebanese Muslim who was ~6ft 3.
But in all honesty, I think I've seen a lot more Middle Eastern people in Sweden who were 5ft 7 to 9 range than 6ft 1 to 3 range. It does not feel very common to see tall people from there.

@Jdubbz
Yes, many people assume that south Asians and middle eastern people are just plain short, you’ll never see someone tall of this ethnicity etc but that is not the case. When we grown up in a proper environment we can turn out quite tall. I myself am of South Asian decent, and having recently turned 15, I am 187cm in the morning. My uncle who grew up in a good environment turned out to be 194cm. And all my other cousins who grew up in America/Canada after their parents immigrated have all turned out to 6’+. Even though our previous generation was not that tall. My projected height is also quite high, but we’ll see about that.

Rob, I find it interesting to study the possibility of adding Bronny James, he is the son of Lebron James.
His draft is scheduled for 2024, and if he and Lebron play together it will be a historic event, even more so because he is a basketball player and people are interested in his height.

Hi, I was just wondering if anyone had worn (or been with someone) who had worn a really high pair of heels please and compared heights? I’m 5’11 and my sister is 5’7- she was thinking about wearing some really high heels like these style
Click Here and
Click Here My shoes I’ll be wearing add basically no extra height, do you think she will be taller than me / if so, will it be quite a noticeable height difference please? Not sure if anyone of of around these heights and around 6 inch heels had compared before please!
Thank you!

That’s very subjective to me, likewise my own personal opinion is subjective too. But I think any height varying from 5’8 to 6’3 is considered ideal.

Charline said on 14/May/23
@John185 I've just decided to see previous comments here today from another posters and your comment where you replied to another poster caught my eye. Just Wow! I couldn't agree more. Reading your comment the beautiful model Victoria Silvstedt came to my mind, because she is the exact height as your ex-girlfriend and she truly looks special with her height and can easily give a 6'0 impression.
@John185 said on 18/Mar/23
I understand your logic, but I disagree to some extent. I previously dated a woman that was 5'10.5/5'10.75 and trust me her height was special. She looked very noticeably tall compared to other women and even a substantial amount of men. (Granted her slim figure may have given the illusion of being closer to 6'0.)
I have seen women of similar stature here in the UK, but she had a rare height for sure.
Broadly speaking in Europe I would say 179cm is the starting point of a special/rare height for a woman.
So I wouldn't be inclined to put 5'10.5 in the same category as 5'8, because the latter is not uncommon, despite still being a great height in my opinion.
John I have too the same opinion. Thinking in the European metric system 179 is the only "7" which can compete with 180+ women, is the only which is clearly quite strong. I definitely too wouldn't put 5'10.5 in the same category with 5'8 or even with 5'9.5 or with either flat or a strong 5'10.
Things really change at solid 5'10.5 or 5'10.75.
Charline said on 14/May/23
@ Okidoki Not only people who post here but also in the real life, here in US are soo many people who think the same about them.
Not only 5'2, but also 5'1, 5'0 and so on.
Like 90% of women that are under 5'3 are terribly insecure.
@5'10.25 From what I know is the contrary Central and Northern Swedes tend to be taller and prettier than Southern ( Northern ones are kind and empathic) When I visited Stockholm for example I've seen prettier and taller women, contrary to Malmö, where they were mostly 5'6 and quite average looking frankly speaking. Victoria Silvstedt is Northern Swedish, many people know and like her,including my friends, who think that she's absolutely gorgeous. I also think that she is very pretty and quite tall at around 5'11, which is a rare height in Southern Sweden for women in general.
5'10 Abdul said on 14/May/23
5'10.25" said on 12/May/23
@Charline I'd say Swedes average more or less 5'11" or 180-180.5 cm range. 178 cm or 5'10" in the north (strong Lappid influence) and 5'11.5" in the south (strong nordid/cromagnid influence).

Overall average in Sweden including all age groups and all ethnic groups should more be like 177-179.5 cm.

Been to a local night club in friday, felt averagish to slightly bellow avg because every 4th guy was almost head taller and only fewer were a bit shorter than me which happens half of time. I was probably 184cm-ish at time during night but i also wore shoes that give 3cm boost. Most youth were probably younger than me by 4+ years. Im 1996 btw.

Can depend on your parental height, but some Doctor's are able to do an x-ray and determine if plates are still open enough to gain height. Maybe you'll get a few more cm.

5'10.25" said on 13/May/23
I'd say tall starts at 6'0"-6'4", depending in which country you live in Europe ( 10 cm over the 50th percentile or 90th). Some average only 5'8" while some 6'0", most 5'9" and 5'10" range. Probably 6'4" in the Netherlands, 6'3" in Sweden/Germany and western balkan countries, 6'2" in the UK or Poland, 6'1" in Italy, 6'0" in Albania.

@ Arvedtall
Damn dude, really sorry to hear of all the problems. The irregular heartbeat can be harmless in some cases, but the nerve damage is pretty bad especially if it's from your spine degenerating. Can any amount of stretching or posture correct anything at this stage? Hopefully you are consulting an expert in the field perhaps they can slow it down.
In the meantime try to make the best you can out of your life. Keep in mind Richard Kiel was 7'2 and he lived to 75. So hopefully you'll live a reasonable good long life regardless of what challenges the height has thrown your way. Wishing you the absolute best dude!
Darksol64 said on 13/May/23
@WhatcanIclaim
Rob would list you on his website at 6'0.25 more than likely. The most honest claim is a normal bedtime low, which in your case sounds around 6'0 and 1/8th.
Obviously trying to tell someone that in person as your height sounds ridiculous and makes you look silly, so you have two options:
Claim 6'1, nobody will bat and eye and question it. May or may not think you're 6'2 depending on if you're lanky or not and proportions.
Claim 6'0, and expect some people to be surprised and say there's no way you're only 6'0. Unless you have an extremely wide/heavy weight frame, people may think you're 5'11 or something then.
adrianjacobs said on 13/May/23
@Jdubbz
1. I'm 6'0 5/8-6'0.75 in the evening, not 6'0.5.
2. You being insecure at 6'3 in America is a pretty different thing from me being insecure at this in Sweden. That would be the equivalent of me being insecure about being "too short" at 6'5 in Sweden. It seems like the main reason you were insecure about it was because a few people were still taller than you and you were not the absolute tallest person everywhere you went. Literally the only reason you got over it was because you grew taller and not because you became another person mentally.
Imagine being me and being shorter than the majority of men, shorter than a large amount of women, and also NOT reaching the height I was projected to end up at.
3. I don't understand why these people have the right to say that I say outlandish things and have a deluted height perception if they underestimated my height by nearly three inches.

I don’t know why people are saying they don’t find shorter women attractive lol. Attractive women come in all shapes and sizes. Don’t get me wrong, perfect female height for me is 5”6-5”9, but that doesn’t mean I don’t find shorter women attractive. I’m sure most men find someone like Scarlet Johansson (5”3) extremely attractive lol, what is this nonsense.
Jdubbz said on 13/May/23
@arvedtall:
Sorry that happened to you, but I know guys even taller than me (I'm 6'6-6'7) who are much older than you with no major health problems to speak of. Certainly nothing that you mentioned. I don't have any either, but then again I'm only 25. Some of the problems you mentioned like irregular heartbeat (particularly arrythmias) are more common in very tall people, but the others don't sound related to your height at all and are indicative of a much more serious health problem.
I truly hope you get relief from those conditions as they sound very painful, but blaming it all on being 6'8 is a bit ridiculous.
Emil said on 13/May/23
Just measured myself at 11 am (3 hours out of bed) and I'm 184 cm on the nose. Amongst young ethnic Danish guys I think that's around the 60-65% percentile, so slightly above average - including all ethnicities I'm a bit closer to the 70% percentile, but not quite there I'd say.
I do see women my height or slightly taller (185-186 cm) almost daily. Women around 187-190 cm aren't that rare either, but any taller than that is a really uncommon sight. The average height for young ethnic Danish women is 169-170 cm, for men it's around 181-182 - all ethnicities included, I think it's 167-168 cm for women and 180-181 cm for guys. If you account for daily height shrinkage, you could probably subtract 1-1.5 cm from those numbers.
Keep in mind that I live in Copenhagen so I pass by thousands of people daily, so, there's obviously a higher chance for me to spot both very tall and very short people than you would in smaller places.

There isn’t a single piece of data, whether it’s an article, study, report, etc to validate any of the claims this troll is making. Just stop giving him attention.

Okidoki said on 12/May/23
@Charline There was a female poster named Mariana not long ago who also said that 5'2 women were insecure in her opinion.
As for the perfect height, this is often subjective, so it's not really easy to say-
But from watching what they say in the media in general, for women, it's often said that between 5'7-5'9 is a great height. For men, it's often said that between 6'-6'2 is a great height.
You can also see how preferences vary here on the board too. We have 2 posters, James B 172 cm and MaskDeMasque 5'9.5 who for example like or prefer women taller than them.
Then you have Jdubbz who is around 6'6.5, who prefer women around 5'2 for example.
It's often subjective, some people like short women, average height women or tall women, it depends.
There is a stereotype which you see sometimes in the media, that shorter men like taller women or taller men like shorter women. The reasons cited then are that shorter men need taller women to produce offspring that will give a greater height or vice versa, that taller men need shorter women for some biological reasons.
Reasons for the attraction are also cited as that opposites attract or that you like what you don't have etc.
Okidoki said on 12/May/23
@adrianjacobs Yes, are you going to show us some long legs there, invite them out, i'll buy the beers :P Rockaway is curious too, he hasn't seen a lot of 6'2 women lately.
Well, i think i judge it well in my opinion, i haven't made a mistake more than 2 cm when in person, and have often guessed within a cm the real height. But yes, when watching pictures, movies etc it's more difficult to guess the right height i guess.
Charline said on 12/May/23
@Jdubbz Maybe is the contrary, maybe I am the ONE who made a 5'2 woman's MAN realise what a real woman looks like and what a real feminine intelligence is, and also what a fresh younger prettier woman looks like, and most importantly what a down to earth female is like compared to the pampered older shorter woman. Maybe she is the one whose life is now hell because of this real feminine force. Because I don't have nothing what to envy at 5'2 womanlet height at all. So please don't try arguing with me for things you have no idea for what is happening. You don't have the slightest idea what kind of a ty and unworthy person compared to me she is.
arvedtall said on 12/May/23
For those who glorify extreme tallness I can present my "health chart" as a 6'8'' person:
up to age 34: no diagnosed health problems
age 35: venous insufficiency diagnosed in the legs
age 36: osteoarthritis in the hip joints
age 39: degenerative scoliosis
age 40: osteoarthritis in the knee joints
age 41: nerve damages due to degenerative processes in the spine
age 41: irregular heartbeat
I can understand any young guy who admires tallness, but if you think about the long term consequences in terms of health you maybe see it differently.

@Jdubbz: You and I both know that it's a ridiculous comment. It would make more sense if she would claim that about 4'11" women, in their twenties, who aren't well endowed. It's still insulting to them, though. It's safe to say that Charline, if "she's" not a troll, has issues.

In general the perfection height range for female gender is min.solid 5'3 and max. solid 5'5. Height wise USA has healthier female average height than European countries and also than Asian countries ( excluding South Korea) who are quite short on average at 5'0-5'2, USA wins because the exact average female height that World Health Organization has confirmed a typical 5'4 (everyone can type and find it in google) so considering 5'4 is considered medically average height of fully grown females, it means 5'3-5'5 is the ideal feminine height.

@ Henrik Yes, you are right, because even though many immigrants who grow there, grow tall as well, even I have heard of a late teenager girl that grew an inch when she moved to Sweden, after stopping growing at 14, she continued the growing process for a whole one inch again after 3-4 years she stopped growing. I think that happened because of the quality air and water, and also food in stores is extremely controlled in Sweden, they don't dare to keep unhealthy foods in supermarkets. But with all those qualities, it's true that immigrants have weaker genetic in general, so yes it's much more common for example to see a 5'11 ethnic swedish woman than 5'11 foreigner one.

And yes, every time you bring up how short you feel at 6'0.5 in Sweden, you are implying that you wish you were taller. Are you pretending otherwise?

Yes, I said 6'4-5 guys in particular not because there are a ton of them walking around in the US, but because that was my minimum predicted height. They're also very easy to notice when you're 6'3.
So what? I never said I wasn't insecure about my height at one point. Why are you bringing that up out of nowhere? People are ripping on you not because you're insecure about your height (let's face it, most people here are or have been at one point), but because you're starting to say outlandish things and are being very passive aggressive as of late.

I think that, generally, ethnic Swedes are taller than those of immigrant background. I'm sure that the children of immigrants grow taller than their parents and averages of their home countries, but there is a still a difference that is attributed to genetic factors.
Click Here ^^ Basically those who have a lot of "Yamnaya" admixture (which is associated with modern-day ethnic Northern Europeans) are more likely to be tall.
This article (paywall) below claims that the Swedish average has shrunk from 5ft 11 (men born in 1956) to 5ft 10 in 2016. It also states that men born in 1990 measured 181.7cm...

Lol, I just found this quote by you from 12th of March this year:
"I also really didn't enjoy seeing guys on my campus who were taller than me. It got to the point that I was actually insecure about being "only" 6'3, which I know sounds ridiculous."
And this one as well from the same day:
"I still felt a little insecure about my height until I hit 6'4-5 or 194-195cm. I guess at 6'3 I was tall but still saw a decent number of guys taller than me."
It's totally noticeable how you were insecure about your height only because you didn't grow as tall you were supposed to be, like you said today.
Charline said on 11/May/23
@Poster @Jdubbz You both can try to defend how much you want 5'2 women, but you can't deny the fact that they are height conscious all the time, are terribly insecure, wear high heels even in second trimester of pregnancy and even buy their child 5-8 year son athletes with lifts ( that shows how much obsessive they are). Neither of you can tell me anything about them, because I have seen such women many times and they are TERRIBLY INSECURE. Even a fool can notice that they look clearly SHORT.
adrianjacobs said on 11/May/23
I'm going to ask once again, since no one seems to have answered. Given that many of you have a more accurate height perception than me like you say, why did you all underestimate how tall I am?
I uploaded a video to prove my height, so you can't just blame me for thinking that I'm taller than I am.

"I wasn’t insecure because I thought I was living in giant land where the average guy was 6’3.5. Get a grip on reality."

@QM6'1.75"QM
As far as the other things you mentioned (aside from posture), I don't think that necessarily has to do with height. I've seen many shorter guys with messed up skeletons (bad facial structure, scoliosis, unfavorable proportions etc.) and guys around my height who look like greek statues.
As far as tendency to break bones, I don't think that is true either. There is a study I saw that was trying to determine how each part of the body scaled with height (in terms of mass, size, composition, etc.) and discovered that taller people have HIGHER bone mineral density relative to their skeletal size and weight compared to shorter people. I've personally never broken a bone in my life, and I'm not a sedentary person!

Yeah, that's such a ridiculous thing to say. I'd argue that billions of women around the world are 5'2 or shorter. Maybe half of all women worldwide. Height alone doesn't make someone look childish. Body and facial structure play a huge role.

Click Here I didn't say 181.5cm was the average for the overall population. It covered the ages 20-29 in 2008. AdrianJacobs only compares himself to people his age and young adults.

I don't agree that 5'2 women look "childish"! I don't understand this reasoning. Millions of women are that height or shorter. I've never heard anybody say that about a 5'2 woman.
Charline said on 10/May/23
@adrianjacobs Now, come on don't make such foolish statements, because you're not the only swede, because there are 8 milion swedes in Sweden, and the other 2 milion, 1 milion of them is Arab(which you swedes hate extremely much, even though I can't blame you in that matter very much because many times they have proved many bad actions as a nation, but the matter is that you too ABSOLUTELY hate other nationalities there) and the other 1 milion is made of many other nationalities. And also many of us that write on this site have visited Sweden,including Stockholm. And the average there is 6 foot, yes there you can see 6'3-6'5 men walking on the streets, but also you can see 5'7-5'9 immigrants, so if you're really 6 foot as you say, I honestly can't understand your insecurity every time you write something here. Don't overestimate the average, please and don't keep repeating the same and the same that 6'3/6'4 isn't tall because that is undoubtedly VERY TALL in EVERY CORNER of this world. As you can see we're all against your false statements, and we can't all be wrong, and you the only "Wise" here.

Oh yeah,one of my childhood friends, very tall guy maybe 6'4", his main problem is bad front teeth, so skeleton again.
In my case, I don't wear glasses, didn't broke my legs and my brother says that my posture is great.

In my case, as i growing up my skull becoming wider and longer. Taller height = more bones, lol.
At 5'11-6'0" i was quite different person mentally and physically. Face is changed a bit.
My brother is the same, at 6'1.25" he had perfect body, at 6'3" he haven't it anymore = really long legs and long skull plus hair.
That's why i always keep 6'1" as my perfect height, it's something about aesthetics like James Hetfield, Roger Moore, CR7, Eric Dane, Jeffrey Dean Morgan.
Also it's really much harder to have better health, straight skeleton and posture ... My brother, 6'5" guy, broke his legs!
Other mate, solid 6'3", broke his legs + wear glasses.
Other 6'3" friend is wear glasses too.
One guy from basketball team ...one broken leg and he's 6'4" ... So it's a real life!

@Henrik
I don't think the Swedish average height for men was 181.7 cm 15 years ago, if you have that study then it would be lovely if you could share it. I've read anywhere from 179-181 cm but never above or under that. I have a generally hard time imagining that the national average for Sweden, as in for the entire country, is close to 183 cm. The last thing I personally read was like 179.6 cm and I've also heard 181 cm. I'd generally say a bit over 180 cm seems a decent average for men while 167-168 seems likely for women
@K_916
For me it's largely just insecurity. Most of my time spent on here has been to tame my anxieties and neuroticism toward this subject so that I don't start involving it in my day-to-day life with people I spend actual time with. I'd say most regular posters on this website suffer from some sort of neuroticism surrounding height (with some clear exceptions of course, like Sandy or Nik, who just seem like nice people) and although I think it's a good website for the sake of truth, it definitely doesn't benefit someone who's on the edge of becoming unhealthily obsessed with the subject. Just a side note; I definitely don't talk about height all the time. In fact, in recent time, I try talking about it as little as possible and ignoring it. It's pretty often on my mind unfortunately, but I'm working on it

@AdrianJacobs:
Don’t bring me into your delusion. I was insecure about being 6’3 (not 6’4) because I was a very tall kid who was projected to be much taller than that and thought my growth was stunted somehow.
I wasn’t insecure because I thought I was living in giant land where the average guy was 6’3.5. Get a grip on reality.

Being insecure about being too short at 6'4 in America like Jdubbz was is fine too I suppose. The only reason he "grew out of it" is because he literally grew taller.

I measure in the morning, an hour out of bed , a tad over 1.82m or 1.822m(5'11 and 3/4).On a different day ,I measured 1.815m (5'11.5)at 18:30 in the evening, after having gone to sleep at 00:30 and woken up at 8:15, run at the gym for 30-35 minutes and driven a car 30-40 minutes each time,then when do I precisely hit 1.82m on the dot? Thanks in advance.

@Tallish guy
You can go with 6ft 1/2 or 6ft 3/4, maybe a 6ft1 claim isn't bad (although it's tempting not to claim).
@Alex
Yes, I would also go with 6ft 1/2 with those measurements.
I would say you are a solid 6ft.
Alex 6'0 said on 10/May/23
Gian,6'0.25-6'0 3/8 low thats a 6'0.5 claim id personally go with. My case I'm no taller than 6'0 1/8 midday unless a pretty inactive day. Most my days are pretty active mainly work days so I'm gonna hit my low earlier then extreme low by evening especially after gym. Ive always just said 6'0. To claim 6'0.5 you should be at least 6'0.25 at a normal low.
5'10.25" said on 10/May/23
@Charline I notice if I am really paying attention. I don't notice a height difference unless it's at least 2-4 cm and even then people sometimes can look the same height due to posture, footwear etc. But yes, even a cm can be noticable, but not if you're jut glancing over though.
Charline said on 9/May/23
@5'10.25 Okay 👍 Every person on this earth has his own preference and 5'7 I also think that is a great height for females. But I would like to know your opinion in the fact that many 5'6.5 or 5'6.75 169, 169.5 cm claim 5'7 when they're truly not, but the untrained eyes of course believe them, I do notice them clearly personally. Do you notice them too (as you are interested in height guessing as of all of us who comment here) that they're not in reality 5'7 women (even though they get really close)?
5'10.25" said on 9/May/23
@Henrik The Dutch are the tallest and about 183 cm range. Bosnians average 183-184 cm only in the dinaric area, which is about 30% of the country, the overal average for the country is 180 cm (182 cm younger guys) and only about 179 cm in the north. So that statement is incorrect.

@QM6'1.75 6'0.5 is a great height yeah, that at my low and generally its fairly tall. Though its in that kind of weird range where sometimes it feels just slightly above average depending on which crowd your in. Which is why solid tall is more like around 6'2+ imo, so your height

Honestly over this height, you becoming more lanky and long faced, i noticed when reached 6'1"+.
Back then never thought that i will reach almost 6'2 tall.
I have to disagree. I'm not lanky and long faced even 15cm above 184cm. It's more likely the taller you are but not a guaranteed thing. If someone is prone to those type of proportions, it usually doesn't show up until your height at least.

@Tallish guy
Of course sir, all I ask is that you show me your international height inspector card so I can apologize.
Seriously now.
6ft0 1/4 - 1/2 still makes him a 184cm guy, particularly myself would claim 6ft 1/2, it's kind of weird to explain but for example I sometimes say I'm a strong 5ft11 but I claim 5ftt11.25.
It's kind of subjective terms like strong, solid, etc.
Maybe I expressed myself badly, but he is indeed a 184cm guy.

@Henrik:
I'm assuming you took these measurements at the same time of day, as height loss obv affects eye level. 11.5cm eye level (176cm) would be very normal but slightly on the high side for your height. 10.5cm eye level (177cm) would be a very high level in general and extremely high for your height.

Saying things like "The kids that study abroad are the unpopular kids" makes me think you are dealing with some pretty big issues internally.
I studied at The Academy of Contemporary Music. The Swedish people there came to study music because its one of the best Contemporary music colleges in Europe. They were all extremely talented, good looking, high achieving people.
Your thinking in this matter shows me you're definitely off on your perceptions of reality.
Instead of judging the world so hard through your own skewed perceptions of reality. Try and take a break from what Adrian "thinks" and broaden your view on things in a more grown up and balanced manner. Wish you all the best Adrian.
Henrik said on 9/May/23
@Jdubbz
I can sometimes get a higher (177cm) measurement but 176cm seems to be the lowest point and I've not yet seen a lower figure. So I assume 176cm feels pretty correct and 177cm f.e. is when the head is tilted too high.
5'10.25" said on 8/May/23
@adrianposter The tallest are dutch who average around 183.5 cm, not 182 cm or 184 cm (according to ncd data) and men in dinaric alps who average 183 cm and 184 cm young guys. So the tallest average in the world is 6'0"-6'1" range.

Gian 181cm said on 8/May/23
@adrianjacobs
The average for Sweden is 180 cm (
Click Here).
Maybe you think: "It doesn't matter what the data show, what matters is my perception of reality", but does this kind of attitude objectively approach the truth? Is your thinking biased, leading you to infer incorrectly? Can you refute the articles that say the average is between 180-181cm? If yes, how? There are other people who are also from Sweden and they disagreed with you, are they wrong?
Maybe you don't mind refuting and believe your opinion is sufficient, but if you continue with that kind of thinking, would you say you're being rational? why would you choose to continue with a simple value judgment instead of scientifically and logically justifying your arguments? (At least when you're referring to statistical average heights, the scientific method is more effective.)
Another point, I don't need to live in Sweden to disagree with you about average height, I don't disagree because I want to, I disagree because I have the basis for it, the only thing I can't know or have access to is in relation to your experiences.
You can, if you want, adopt a skeptical but still intellectually honest stance, such as "scientific surveys cannot measure the entire population, so it is impossible to know exactly the average height, however it is the most effective method, but I maintain my impression that that the mean is higher even without good evidence for it".
My intention is just to show that our thinking about things cannot be reductionist.
And yes, I am also susceptible to making mistakes, following prejudices and having moments of insecurity about my height, but I manage to fight them by thinking about them calmly and rationally, as an activity of introspection.
No hate, just my two cents, I consider your height the beginning of tall height in Europe.

@tallish guy @Gian 181cm
I claim 6”0.5, or 6 foot and some change. Most guys my height round up to 6”1 though.
I’m from the UK, I would say I feel above average / tallish, but I wouldn’t describe myself as a “tall guy”. I would say a legit tall starts at around just under 6”2 and above (187cm+)

How do you accurately measure eye level? Would a tape measure in front a mirror from the floor to pupil be correct? If that's the case then mine is 176cm at 187.5cm.
Yes Henrik, that's the best way to measure eye level. Make sure the tape measure is directly in front of your eye (not too far right or left), and also use the mirror to confirm that your head is perfectly neutral. Tilting it even slightly will throw off the measurement.
Alternatively, you can try to measure the distance from your pupil to the top of your head, then subtract that from your overall height.

@George_89
I never even said the female average was 5'8? Why are everyone here attributing things to me I never said?
I would say the female average is about 5'6-5'8, clearly shorter than the female equivalent height of the male average, which I would say is about 6'1-6'3, at least in Stockholm.
I don't even pay attention to men taller than me passing me on the street, because that's the norm. I only notice when someone is shorter than me, and that's way less common than someone taller. 5'8 is extremely rare for an ethnic swede, but still more "common" than 5'10-5'11 which basically doesn't happen at all. I don't need you, a person who doesn't live here, to explain to me what the average is when you don't live here. It irritates me to no end how everyone here think they're entitled to do that.
I have a couple of explanations why you may think the average is 181cm:
1. You read that the "average" is supposedly 181cm and decided that you're not going to see it as anything else.
2. You're basing it off people's proportions, instead of actually paying attention to how tall they are. Many people here are tall but have "compressed" looking proportions, which gives them a 5'11-look when they're 6'2 in reality.
3. The ones who study abroad are the "unpopular" kids, and they are very often shorter than the "popular" ones.

@Jdubbz
A few inches? That seems too much even for a man of Neil Fingleton's stature. I've never heard of any actual examples of people who measure heights that vary 3 inches from each other throughout the day. I did hear about a couple posters on this website who are in the 6'5-6'6 range who lose only 3/4" throughout the day, which is less than what I would expect and is what an average man loses in a day.
Examples of extremely tall people and how much their height can vary:
- 7'7"-listed Gheorge Muresan has measured 7'6.5" as an adult
- 7'5.5"-listed Yao Ming has measured 7'5" as an adult
- 7'6"-listed Shawn Bradley has measured 7'5.5" as an adult
I'm not sure if those heights are their lows though, but I doubt those guys' heights fluctuate throughout the day by anywhere close to 3 inches.

5”7.5 guys claiming 5”9 - extremely common
5”8.5 guys claiming 5”10 - MOST common
5”9.5 guys claiming 5”11 - very common
5”10.5 guys claiming 6”0 - extremely common
5”11.5 guys claiming 6”1 - extremely common
6”0.5 guys claiming 6”2 - less common (but a lot of guys height claims this)
6”1.5 guys claiming 6”3 - less common but happens
6”3 and above I’ve noticed people are more honest, but you do get the odd idiot
Now I don’t mind if someone claims their max morning height, or even rounds up to the nearest inch. But this is nuts.

Do you guys agree that 5'3 to 5'4 (160-163cm) women look quite hot, considering they don't look childish anymore as 5'1-5'2 (155-159cm) women do. But they look womanly and amazingly feminine. I am so angry with people who consider both 5'1, 5'2 and 5'3,5'4 categories as short when they're clearly not the same. 5'3 and 5'4 women are simply Goddesses on the Earth.

I see the Swedish height debate is still lingering haha...
I'll give my two pence. I seriously think @adrianjacobs is suffering from some kind of heightism or delusion. I'm really not trying to be horrible Adrian if you read this. I've just met a fair few Swedish people and studied with them when I was living on London. Yes they're high average range for UK standards. Didn't you say 5ft8 is the average for a Swedish woman? Adrian that is utter nonsense. Its max 5ft6. I can attest to this by the young Swedish women I've studied with. Maybe the young guys were 181cm range. Most guys are taller than you in Sweden and you're 184.5cm at a low? Again I think that is complete nonsense.
Try and even your view throughout the day and take note of so called shorter folk. You might start to be surprised...as you say no guys are 5ft8 in Sweden...massive lol.

Jdubbz said on 7/May/23
@adrianjacobs:
I agree, a high eye level is nothing to be insecure about. It's actually a good thing in a way. I'd be happy if I had a high eye level, but I don't. Again, head size and eye level don't scale directly with height. You can't just say 199/183 x 12cm = the average eye level for a 199cm guy. It doesn't work that way.
Also, even if I do have a relatively high eye level for my height, it's still low in general. About a quarter inch lower than the average guy's. Someone who actually has a high eye level is a guy like Alex 6'0 with a 4.25" eye level.

@5'10.25
Are you from Sweden?
adrianjacobs said on 6/May/23
@Kevin
I'm about 184.5cm at a low and have an eye level of 172 or just under, and yes, most men where I live are certainly taller than me.

@Jdubbz
If you check out Rob's page about eye level,
Click Here, someone asks him what his height is if his eye level is 178.5cm, and he says about 191-192 range.
Also, if you check out Rob's YouTube video about eye level and sort the comments by new, someone asks what the eye level of a 6ft person is, and he says roughly 5'7.25
The average eye level of a person who's nearly two meters tall is certainly not less than five inches. I don't see why you are insecure about it, it's worse to have a low eye level like me, in my opinion.

@Okidoki
If you thought I was 182-183cm, is there any reason to think you are not downgrading others?

@pov ok i see your point.

@5'10.25"
Sometimes I feel between average and tall and I'm 5'11 which is nice because I like blending in at times.
pov said on 6/May/23
@5'10.25" yeah the key difference is they are self report studies, there are also self measured studies which put their overall average from 183.7-183.9cm. More studies put them closer to 183-184cm range, as opposed to 181cm which are more reports. In addition to this, the highest ethnic populations in the netherlands are morrocans and turkish, who can contribute to a lower average. I can assure you an ethnic dutch man averages around the 184cm mark (between 183.7-183.9). I have no reason to lie, the dutch have no reason to lie, and the vast majority of studies back this, yet you literally won’t accept this for some reason. The reason I became interested in height in the first place is because I noticed how tall the dutch were from living there, I was very observant of their height. We can agree young dutch average 183cm (90’s and after), but the 80’s and 70’s 60’s cohort’s all had higher averages. In most cases populations are getting taller, in the case of the dutch, think they are slowly converting to the european average, due to westernisation, diets are similar amongst the west now. But for now, they are still around the 184cm mark on average.

It was lovely to see that Joan Armatrading attended the Coronation and was interviewed afterwards. Please, Rob, could she have a page? I found 154cm for her. She brings back so many happy memories. The lady is 72.

Here is one study which states that Swedes have steadily grown taller by 6mm per decade:
Click Here ^^ So if assuming that is a trend which continues to this day then one could assume that young Swedes are now 9mm taller than the 181.5cm 15 years ago, meaning 182.4cm.
This study states that Germans and other Northern Europeans have slowed down their growth compared to in the past and reached their potential peak height at this point:

@EVERYONE , but out of curiosity why do you all discuss height is it an interest ? A hobby ? Or does it stem from a fascination of the topic ? I’m just wondering , don’t you ever get tired of discussing height all the time ? Or is it a passion? Feel free to answer this , I’m not a regular visitor and I’ll probably never come back after this post , but I respect the community u guys have built and hope u keep interacting with each other it’s great to see honestly . Thanks for reading
Okidoki said on 6/May/23
@Bobby Yes and ofcourse, it's unrealistic that women will most often date shorter men, it was just a hypothetical.
In couples for example with a 5'10 woman and a 5'6 man, the sons will in the clear majority of cases be taller than the mother, that shows how much of an impact the mothers height has.
But yes, in couples where they are a similar height, an average height man and a tall woman for example, the chances that the son will be even taller will increase though.
And i am only talking about height though. Interms of mannerisms, physical look and behaviour, son's tend to be more similar to their fathers and sometimes to their mothers, grandfathers, uncles or aunts etc.
@5'10.25" He has said before that he wants proof on stats that are not from 15 years ago, but that are recent or relatively recent.
Well, the ncd height data, which is based on national surveys and studies and not selfreported heights, have an average of around 180.5 for Swedish 19 year old men.
I have also seen some studies from around 2017, 2018 etc with averages of between 181-182 cm too though, if i remember correctly.

I think for your case, your mother's small stature impacted your height quite a bit because your father was nearly 5'11 in his prime. You should have been at least 5'11 given your father's height, so I think you inherited some of your mother's genetic height as well.
Maybe but i could have been taller if i slept better growing up. I have always been a terrible sleeper and during your sleep is when growth hormone is released.
Jdubbz said on 6/May/23
Give it a month and AdrianJacobs is going to start saying that 6'6 is "barely above average" in Sweden.
Jdubbz said on 6/May/23
@Charline
I can try. Assuming we're talking about American women:
4'7 = most likely dwarfism
4'7 - 4'9 = extremely short
4'9 - 4'11 = very short
4'11 - 5'2 = short
5'2 - 5'3.5 = below average
5'3.5 - 5'5 = average range
5'5 - 5'6.5 = above average
5'6.5 - 5'8 = tallish
5'8 - 5'10.5 = tall
5'10.5 - 6'1 = very tall
6'1 - 6'4 = extremely tall
6'4 - 6'7 = super tall
6'7+ = gigantic
For me, the perfect female height is 5'2. I'm biased though, I've always loved the shorties.
Kevin said on 5/May/23
@adrianjacobs
Man... I must be a midget at 6'0 if you're 6'1 and rarely see guys shorter than you.
Caleb 178.8cm said on 5/May/23
Click Here Click Here Found research done on height of people in Montenegro and Albania. Two women in the Montenegro study measured 197.7cm and 193.4cm. According to the scatter diagram in the Albania study, six of the 179 women who participated in the research measured over 190cm, with one measuring 200cm! 😲
5'10.25" said on 5/May/23
@pov how it is downgrading if we disagree by 1-2 cm at most. I'd say it's possible that Dutch are anything overall 181 to 183 cm range. There is a self report study that puts them at 183 cm range, but also one that puts them at 181 cm. I don't know why you chose to ignore the 2nd one. Anyway, god bless.
Charline said on 5/May/23
Hi 👋 everyone! Can you try to make a height chart about women, what do you consider short, medium, tall? And what the feminine perfect height is in your opinion?I've seen many height charts here made from many of you about men, but I think it would be even funnier and entertaining to do a list for female gender also.

My eye level is between 175-175.5cms at solid 187cms, so 11.75cms is very possible, btw.
Yours is 12.5cms probably)
Nah, mine is similar to yours. Around 11.9cm.

@Okidoki
Well, yes, but that's indicating that women only marry and copulate with shorter-than-average men. If the men were average height or taller, then I guarantee their offspring would be at least average height.
Jdubbz said on 5/May/23
adrianjacobs
No I'm not going to accept that, because you have no idea how proportions work. Head size does NOT scale proportionally with height. That's why taller people have different proportions than shorter people and look taller standing on their own.
Taller people have smaller heads relative to their height than shorter or average height people, so eye level doesn't necessarily increase proportionally.
Accept that my high level is high? I mean the average for my height could be more like 4.8" than 4.7", so if that's "high" then ok.
Also, lol @ 6'3.5 being closer to average in Sweden than your height. If you weren't trolling before, you definitely are now.
Original said on 5/May/23
iMO above average starts at 181cm, tall starts at 185cm, very tall around 192cm, extremely tall about 199cm and giant about 206cm. If the average at a low is ~178cm for people in 20 and 30s.
Okidoki said on 5/May/23
@Alex 6'0 I kinda agree with you. I guess it depends a bit on the definition of giant, but in the 6'10-6'11 range is where you can start debating it. 7'-7'2 are pretty extraordinarily tall heights, i have heard there are just a couple of thousands of them in the world too though.
Okidoki said on 5/May/23
@5'10.25 According to stats, 177-181 cm is the most typical range for young men in Western countries now. 5'10 was the most common, with 5'11 in second place and 5'9.5 range in 3rd place. Average worldwide height 2022-2023 or Ncd height data for example.
Okidoki said on 5/May/23
@adrianjacobs No worries man. Are you going to find us a few 6'2-6'3 women in Stockholm, 2 for a night? :P
There seems to be a handful to choose from in Stockholm, i am to get some beers.

6’3.5” about average in height — Rob, you need to step in and put an end to this trolling.

@adrian your reply was completely irrelevant from my point but it’s clear you’re a troll and are incapable of having a coherent debate. Rob, you should seriously consider banning people who spread misinformation, it isn’t healthy or beneficial for your website.

You have to understand that sometimes, those measured averages are bullsh*t and you have use your eyes and look around you to see how tall people are in real life, and not on paper.

Ok cool you are a troll. Even in the dinaric alps, tallest place in the world, 6'3.5 is still 2.5inches above average.
