What height does tall begin?

The world population is constantly growing in height. I'd say anything less than 6'1 isn't tall these days, 5'11-6'0 is slightly above average but not really tall enough to stand out in most crowds. Really tall begins at 6'4.

It's terrific, right? So you know, I am in heaven."

Yeah, like tall enough to the point that a person stands out.

Very relative.

In china an average white man at 5'10 would be tall, in South Asia he would be a giant.

In Holland you have to be 6'4 to be considered tall. At 5'10 you're a legit manlet there.

In the US? Probably 6'2". I'm 6'3" now and I get loads of "wow you're tall" so I figure that's a decent benchmark.

It is all relative tho like another poster said. I was in China and I was easily the tallest person at the club by a wide margin.

At a club, probably 6'2" or 6'3" you can say "yeah that dude is tall". Freaking 6 feet tall girls walking around everywhere lmao

Compared with that, the human life is only a blink, just a little time. In that short time - people are born, laugh, cry, fight, are injured, feel joy, sadness, hate someone, love someone. All in just a moment. And then, are embraced by the eternal sleep called death."

5'9 to 5'11 = average
6'0 - 6'1 = above average
6'2" and above = tall


The average adult male is 5'9" and a half. In a typical man, there are 4.5 inches from the eyes to the top of the head. So until you hit 6'2", the average man is basically standing eye to eye with you. 6'2" is when you become tall imo

6’4” barefoot is when you stand out. I’m just shy of 6’3” barefoot and anytime I meet someone who is a legit 6’4” or above they’re noticeably larger than the average person.

I’ve only met a handful of people who were 6’8” or taller (not counting athletes when I go to games).

Of course misc will say 7’9” or something but truthfully it’s 6’+. If you are 6 or over you have the ability to date most women since they just want to be shorter than you. No e stat, I’m 6’1 and even measured at 6’2 a few time at dr offices with shoes on. I’ve been called tall by lots of people. 6’ guys do fine in the dating pool as long as they’ve got a good face too.
This body holding me, be my reminder here that I am not alone.
