Rob would you say 5ft10 is a decent height for attracting women if your a guy or are 6ft/6ft1 more ideal?
Editor Rob
I don't know whether 5ft 10 vs 6ft would have much difference.
RJT said on 8/Sep/23
I've moved to a town of 27k people and have saw few people taller than me in a week, at a grocery store, Mcd and a tyre shop. At 6'2.5" it is around 96 percentile in Australia and most of the time the tallest guy until you bump with 1 of those 4 percentile guys... had to look up with the guy on tyre shop so he's probably around 6'5.
Robby Harris said on 7/Sep/23
Do you feel average at 5'8" or would you say you feel noticeably/slightly under average? it's interesting because a lot of 5'8" guys feel average, yet many also feel short. Of course it depends on region, but I'm mostly referring to US and UK. Perception would obviously be very different in China or the Netherlands, for instance.
Editor Rob
Walking about cities in the UK, it does feel lower average range if you are just observing men.

@spainmen 193cm
We are height twins! I also am in the 194.7-195 range out of bed, if I just sit at home i usually am in the 193.0 to 193.4 cm range, if i go outside, walk and sit during the day, by the time i come back home i am usually 192.7-192.9, but if i stand for long periods of time or do a lot of activities involving bending or even work out, i usually seem to come back home at 192.5/192.6. Sometimes i have the same feelings as you do, i just wish i never fell below 192.8-193 cm, but considering by how much the average person inflates their height i think it's absolutely fair for us to claim 193 cm.

14 Slightly uncommon age to hit peak height for a man
15 Pretty common age to hit peak height
16 Very Common age to hit peak
17 Pretty uncommon to still be growing while 17.
18 Uncommon age to still be growing

This is my age for hitting peak height estimates according to a couple credible websites. What do you guys think?

While we are trying to get Rob Moody on Celebheights, how about the lovely ShanI Wallis? I believe she is 5ft5.

Thank you, Rob!

@Rob I ordered these sock lifts a few days ago. Click Here

These say they give 7cm, your thoughts?
Editor Rob
Won't give anywhere near 7cm.
I'd do a measurement of them yourself to test what you get from them.
Shawn 184.2cm said on 7/Sep/23
Rob, do you think swimming is a good exercise to help maintain height?
Editor Rob
I think it can be a useful form of exercise.
ConnorS-6'0 said on 6/Sep/23
Rob how much height will i get from these? i have six lifts in each boot for my Darth Vader costume to be as tall and imposing as possible! Click Here
Editor Rob
The lifts won't give a huge amount, not even 3 inches.
Samuel Whittaker said on 5/Sep/23
Hi Rob. If I'm 5'11 1/8 out of bed and 5'10 1/4 just before bed (around 17 hours up), what would you list me as on the site and is 5'10 1/2 a fair claim? Thanks.

Maybe heading towards 5ft 4 now.
Arch Stanton said on 4/Sep/23
Oliver's torso length is comparable to Rogan's! That was the main reason I didn't get a particularly tall impression! He's quite small in the upper chest and shoulders for somebody at least 6'4".
Arch Stanton said on 4/Sep/23
Oliver certainly looks a big guy with Rogan, taller than I thought, but I can't see 6 ft 6. I don't know what footwear each has on, but he looks a Pat Roach sort of size there, maybe 6'4.5? He's probably claiming his shoe height and rounding up. Or maybe he is near 6'5" in the morning and does actually measure about 6 ft 6 in shoes.
Editor Rob
Somewhere in 6ft 4-5 looks nearer with Rogan.
Sandy Cowell said on 4/Sep/23
Hello Rob, Jenny, Baby and all!

My friends, a couple, are in bad health so I have taken on four cats. There are two tortoiseshells, a weeny black and white one and a ginger and white one who looks like her sister, Lunular. Apart from the times I’m with my other precious cats, I’m with my new quartet, all of whom are related.

They are extremely beautiful and I’m honoured that they chose me to look after them. It was love at first sight for me.

Elaine gave me lots of presents too and my favourites are the cat toys, all the cats of whom will benefit. I’m strolling up and downstairs to keep all the cats happy. There is no such thing as a nasty cat!

Love to you all,

Sandy XXXXX 🐈🐈‍⬛🐈🐈‍⬛

Hi Rob, this is so true. People always expected me to be a tall girl because my mum is 5’7 and my dad is around 5’9.5-5’10. Now I’m 19 years old, I probably already reached my adult height, I haven’t measured myself since 2019 when I was fifteen, at that time I was a solid 5’4, and I haven’t grown much since, probably just 0.5-1 inch.
Editor Rob
That does happen a fair proportion of the time.

My cousin is 5ft1 her mother about 6 and the father 5ft8
Arch Stanton said on 3/Sep/23
Click Here

See 0:59 and 1:51. How tall do you reckon that Oliver Anthony guy looks proportionally? I don't think he looks anywhere near a big 6 ft 6!!
Editor Rob
Wouldn't have thought 6ft 6, though beside Joe Rogan maybe with head tilted down a bit, there's a decent difference.
Tawehret said on 3/Sep/23
Hey rob, you know those tape measures that u can use round ur waist and chest and what not? Could I use that to measure my head length?
Editor Rob
Fabric/plastic tape? If you held it taught and looked in a mirror you might get a decent enough idea.
unkn0wn said on 3/Sep/23
Rob are you aware of any other comfortable sneakers that would give me 4cm of height other than air max 2090s? I got air max 2090s previously and I really liked them but they're mostly sold out and hard to come by in good condition these days
Editor Rob
95's, 97's, 270's are near that 1.4 range.

Rob, is a 21 cm head from chin to top small if I wake up up at a bit under 174 cm and go to bed around 171.5 cm?

I don't take offense if I have a small head btw, I'm pretty sure it just accentuates body proportions making you look taller
Editor Rob
Yeah it's small for your height, which in terms of appearing taller, is an advantage!

181cmguy said on 2/Sep/23
btw @Rob, I'm curious as to why you list yourself at 1/8 and not 1/4. I have exactly 3inches on you(my 5'11 measurements are pretty similar to your 5'8 ones) and I go with 5'11 and 1/4. Tbh it is a slight roundup, because I'm generally a bit under that mark in the afternoon, but I still give myself a 1/4 as opposed an 1/8th(on this site). Irl I just go with 5'11, don't bother with fractions mostly, only sometimes have I gone with 5'11 and a half.

I call for an 1/8th upgrade for Big Rob, and I'm gonna start an online petition for that ;P
-

Just let him decide his own listing. I think 173 cm is the most accurate and most true listing for Rob. If this site was mine then I’d have listed myself to be 5’9 3/4. Even though I am closer to 178 cm near my normal low measurement.

@Sandy Cowell, but dragonflies are cool and they don't sting D:

I too had a fear of wasps as a kid, and still do if I'm being honest, but I always loved dragonflies. I would wait for them to settle then creep up and grab them by the end of their tail, and it was so cute how they would coil up and grab my fingers and bite them. It never hurt though! So I can assure you, dragonflies are nothing to be afraid of ^^

Some celebheights visitors ages ago met rob before and got measured under his stadiometer. Is that the page you refer to? I can't remember much about the user height page tbh.
-

I started to visit this site for 2 years ago, and a few years before that I have heard of a section on this site where the visitors and commentators of the site could get their height listed on a page . So others could guess others height and such.
big kid said on 2/Sep/23
When I was 14 and 5’10.5 my head was approximately 9.4 inches and my shoulder width was 18 inches exactly. I wore a size 10.5 shoe US. Does this sound normal measurements for a 5’10 man Rob?
Editor Rob
For a 179cm man, 9.3-9.4 is quite a common range.

For ones in London, you have train, hotel and then cost of photos, which were increasing too much.

The site was still active, just no comments.

Was far busier with personal commitments (I'm a carer) and then 3 failed attempts trying to update the server to another operating system, which delayed things.

Sandy Cowell said on 1/Sep/23
Hi Rob!

It’s good that your little Nipper has got over her fear of the Steadiomrter and is even asking to be measured! Kids have a fear of all manner of things, and in my case, I was terrified of my Mum’s enormous globe! It was situated in my room and I would hide under the bedclothes so that I couldn’t see it.

I’m taking my medication for hypertension but I’m still feeling dizzy. This morning, I tripped on the doorstep while going to feed Mr Fox, and he looked genuinely concerned, coming right up to me - well, almost. When he and his wife had their four cubs, he would come for his food but always fed his family first, and himself afterwards. This 🦊 fox is truly a legend, and very unselfish. I gave him a large Kit Kat and he will have another one very soon. He’s a gorgeous boy and has a lovely face, which he often tilts it to say, “Please can I have something to eat?” Of course he can!

One morning recently, the back door was open and I found two fox cubs in the kitchen, eating the cats’ food. They shot out when they saw me, so I fed them outside. Their father would probably have stayed, and I hope that one day, he lets me stroke him!

Does Nipper like animals? She’ll be at the explorative stage, and she seems pretty advanced for a child of her tiny age. It’s such an honour to look after a little kid.

Wishing you a great weekend,

Sandy XXXXX 😆
Editor Rob
Yes, the Nipper loves Cats and other animals, though did have a phase of being frightened of bees.

I know this guy who is a gymnast and also bodybuilder. He is 5ft5 and currently weights 220 lbs with 28 percent body fat.

Judging by his stats do you think he’s in good shape and healthy or not?
Arch Stanton said on 31/Aug/23
That Oliver Anthony singer guy with the ginger beard claimed to be 6 ft 6 on Rogan. Sitting there I would never have guessed he was anywhere nearer that tall. Doesn't appear to have long limbs or the look of a guy that big, except a deep voice! Can't find a full length photo of him though to see if he looks legit. That's a big height.
Height Analyzer 2 said on 31/Aug/23
@Progking185

I'd say 6'1 is the upper end of above average and maybe the start of low-end tall, but I will concede that a strong 6'1 (187+) is tall when the average height of a Gen Z male in the USA is closer to 178 than 177 cm

I still think Rob should claim 5'8.25, 1/8 measurements are icky (can you honestly tell a 1/8 height difference without a Stadiometer?) and he's only a flat 5'8 at his absolute low
Shawnhendrix said on 30/Aug/23
Rob, glad to hear you’re doing well! Do you have anywhere you recommend to buy a stadiometer?
Editor Rob
Since you're in America, best just using google to search for the best price of either 'seca 213' or 'hopkins road rod'. Either one should suffice and really be not much more than $100.
Abdul 5'10 said on 30/Aug/23

Do you plan to add ‘ fedor emelianenko’ too. And what’s would his listing be? I feel that he is 5’11.5, or maybe minimum 180.5 cm to 182 cm. Maybe…

Today after a day of university I measured 177.6 cm. I have been awake for about 6.5 hours.

I actually study a bachelor of social work in a university-college campus in aarhus city centre, and it’s the biggest campus in the entire aarhus municipality. And I did have advanced math at high school, but I failed it. Math wasn’t my thing, even though I chose it to test myself to master it. But I failed math. lol!

But I am happy for my educational career.

@Rob
I kind of feel like age related height loss is kind of overblown by some people on here. Maybe it's just me, but I would have thought the vast majority of people are still relatively round their peak heights by the their 40s - mid 50s. Then by late 50s - early 60s, more people may begin to start loosing 1/8 - 1/4 inches. Just seems like some people are too quick to assume someone in their 40s must have lost height. Not saying it never happens, but for the majority of people I wouldn't have thought that was the case. I mean some are already asking you if you have shrunk, you're only 47!
Editor Rob
A real zone I find people can lose height is that 65-70 range, the retirement zone.
Sandy Cowell said on 29/Aug/23
How lovely to have you back, Rob! I’ve been worried that your little kid might be unwell, or you or Jenny, but I’ve been praying that all is well at your end.

I’ve been in hospital with hypertension. The duration was one week, though I dismissed myself after a couple of days, only to have two bad falls when I came home. I was admitted to a Medical ward and met loads of lovely people, some of whom were very funny. Alas, I he second lady in the bed next to me, Juliana, died. I met, and hugged, her family members. Juliana had had a stroke, a fall, and a fit. She had only one or two fillings throughout her whole life, and was a good Catholic. She wasn’t afraid to meet ‘her maker’ and if I had led as virtuous a life as she had, neither would I be. Her family were lovely, and with Juliana as a role model, it’s not surprising.

Wishing everybody well.

@James and Abdul nice work guys. I go to the gym 7 days a week, most weeks. Started doing this four months ago and it’s going great. Really helped change my life for the better. I got super sick last week so haven’t been in a week, but I am going back today. I follow a similar regime that Abdul does. I do cardio just about every day also. Usually pickleball or basketball, sometimes will go for a run. I’m weighing 175-180 lbs rn. Was about 160 lbs two years ago.

Abdul 5'10 said on 28/Aug/23
@Rob

Hi Rob. How are you doing?

Today from 5:30 pm until 7:00 pm I trained my legs. I had a full leg day in the gym. I did 7 leg exercises, and a single abdominal workout.

I did : deadlifting , of 40-100 kg in 4 sets, I did hip thrust from 60-120 kg in 4 sets. Leg press from 100-300 kg in 5 sets. Leg curl for 4 sets of 50-70 kg, I did leg extension for 4 sets of 50-100 kg, and I also did calf leg press of 100-140 kg in 4 sets, and I did squats with a barbel of 60-100 kg of 5 sets .

So after a very hard leg day I measured 177 cm on the nose. Would that measurement be considered my extreme low, when I on a rest day measure my low of a full day to be between 177.4 cm to 177.6 cm ; depending if I have a walked some thousands steps through the day , but sometimes on my lazy rest days when I am only home for a full day without doing anything, then my low can also be like 177.8-178.1 cm.

So am I considered 5’10, or a weaker 5’10 like the height of Bobby ?

I consider myself to be 178 cm, even though I am a weaker one.
Editor Rob
The 177, based on your routine that day, sounds like it's close to extreme low. I think with your other stats it's fair to claim 5ft 10.
If you met Bobby in real life, it may be difficult to tell your heights apart.

spainmen 193cm said on 28/Aug/23
Hi @Rob nice to be able to interact here again!

I have been measuring my height again recently on my stadiometer and this are the results:

Out of bed: After 8 hours of sleep I am 194.8-9. I remember that 1 month ago I got 195.1 (but maybe it was a posture thing, or that night I sleep 9 hours in my back)

At night: I am bang on 193.0, after a relax day at home with normal activity (not working out, going to the gym etc)

After a workout of 1:15 at the gym doing squats, leg exercises, biceps and back exercises and going out dinner with friends and measuring after at night of all this activities (15 hours out of bed): I am 192.5cm.

What height should I claim? Sometimes I feel I should claim 192cm because after working out and doing exercise Im 0.5cm below 6ft4.

Do you think that if I take glucosamine I will be able to mantain 193cm even after hard days?

Thanks in advance Rob. Keep doing well
Editor Rob
I would stick with 193cm as a claim.

The study I read suggested a slight improvement in evening height...but I personally don't take it so haven't really been able to test it.

My own mother used to be 161.5 cm I think at her peak, and now at age 57 she is 160 cm or maybe 160.3 cm. Is a 1 cm to 1.5 cm loss at near 60 normal for a woman?
Editor Rob
It's quite common to lose that amount.
Robby Harris said on 28/Aug/23
At what age do you expect to lose your first 1/8 of an inch and drop to 5'8" flat at normal low?
Editor Rob
Hopefully will make it to late 50's with small loss.

Here's an interesting example of height loss comparison with my Mother. Beside sister (who normally sits between 5ft 5.5-.75) in 2004 (59) and recently in 2023 (age 78): Click Here.

My mother took little interest in height until recently when she has noticed herself how much she has to look up at me. She asked me to check her height last month and is now 5ft 2.75, a 1/4 inch lower than when I measured her about a year ago.

Actually, she now believes she cleared 5ft 5 in her prime as she distinctly remembered at one stage getting a 5ft 5.5 measurement.

Rob I’ve tried doing some research to see what percent of people grow after turning 18 years old. Healthline.com says a majority of men grow just a little after 18 however multiple other websites say men hit their peak height while they are 16 years old. What percent of men grow after 18 to you? For me I hit my peak height at 17 1/2 years old.
Editor Rob
There's a drop off after turning 16. Each year the percent that gains anything signifiacant falls away dramatically.
The percentage figure is harder to pin down after 18...there will be a proportion who between 18-19 are ending and eek out a final cm.
I think the percentage who gain anything significant like 1-2 inches is small.

@ James B 172cm

Hi again. And thanks for sharing your program. I am going to share my program too.

But before writing , then I want to admit that i turn 20 in 2 months, and that i started to train my muscles for 5 months ago. So I am not very defined yet, unless I press and flex my muscles, but in reality I am more of a big guy than a muscular guy. I have a kinda big chest and I have some big shoulders, but my arms are bigger than the average person, but nothing fancy, and my back muscles are visible if I press them a bit. And my leg muscles are big. I have noticeable big strong legs.

But I will keep training forever, because this is a new lifestyle that I have adapted to be a part of my life.

Here’s my program.

Monday - full leg day.

Tuesday - chest , shoulders and triceps

Wednesday - back and biceps

Thursday - full leg day

Friday rest day

Saturday - chest , shoulders and triceps

Sunday , back and biceps.

Today at Sunday I trained my back and biceps.

So here’s is my program. It might not be the best program, but not the worst either. It’s a good beginner program, I guess…

Editor Rob
At 173 lbs, my goal is now to hit 165 by year's end.

I do dynamic tension exercises along with a basic 15 minute stretch routine to keep supple.


I train my upper body 3 times a week a with free weights because I need to give those muscle groups a break.

here's my routine

Monday upper body

Tuesday lowe body/abs

Wednesday upper body

Thursday lower body/abs

Friday upper body

Saturday lower body/abs

sunday rest

I am 5ft7.5-5ft8 and weigh 169 lbs currently but I think that additional is due to me drinking beer weekends.

Rob according to this guy Click Here

What he was trying to say is that men under average height in nightclubs are invisible to women. Do you think that's true?
Editor Rob
Good looks and height are immediate factors that can attract attention, as can how you dress.

But I'm 2 decades out of the dating or nightclub scene...

Rest is very important when it comes to bodybuilding. Huge is rarely a good look!

Hi Rob, do you see many young fully grown men who are around 170-173cm (from 5'7" to 5'8") in the UK?
Or are they uncommon?
Editor Rob
Quite common to see lots of men in that range.
Tawehret said on 27/Aug/23
Thanks Rob, Man U replied quicker than the flash!! The guy on the left is labour an inch taller even tho he’s slouching. Meaning if he’s losing about 2 inches posture then he should be about 7-8 cm taller?
Editor Rob
If he was losing near 2 inches in posture compared to the guy on the right, then maybe there's a chance of 3 inches difference.
Tawehret said on 27/Aug/23
Hey rob I was wondering how much height do u think both men losing in this pic? The man on the left is a nz rapper and the man next to him is 6’2 listed Pat lam who coaches Bristol rugby

Would the height difference be 3 inches?

Click Here
Editor Rob
My thought would be there's more like a 2 inch difference, unless the guy on left is losing nearly 2 inches in posture.
Height Analyzer 2 said on 26/Aug/23
Rob, I feel like the average height of Gen Z in the US/UK is higher than that of Millenials, though not by much. I think the average must be closer to 5'10 now (or, at least around 177), making anything from 5'11-6'1.5 fall in the above average/tallish category and then 6'1.5+ (187) as the start of tall

As for your listing, I think you're closer to 5'8.25 throughout most of the day, so that should be a fairer listing. For your next sneaker video, get a pair of New Balances 990s or 9060s or a pair of Yeezy 700s!

It pretty much is close to 5ft 10 for that generation these days.

It's not too heavy, no, but muscle mass and frame can effect how 200 lbs might look on one guy at your height versus another.

Harris Ahmed said on 25/Aug/23
Hey Rob, I have a question I’ve been wanting to ask for a long time. Let’s say 5’10 is the average in a country. Is 6ft flat still considered tall in that country ? Even tho it’s just 2 inches above average. If not what is. And is 5’10 really the average these days or is it closer to 177cm. Rampage It would be great if you could give your thoughts on this as well. Thanks
Editor Rob
It's getting towards upper average and lower end of tall. For 6ft 1 against the 5ft 10 average, I'd class it as being in the tall range.

Today in UK/US, I don't believe the overall average is 5ft 10, but still somewhere in 5ft 9 range.

Hello Rob, Jenny and baby, plus all the lovely visitors,

My kitten-cat, Clovis, is sitting on my lap and I cannot move. I’ve been playing Pink Floyd’s greatest hits and they really are wonderful. They send you to another planet. I recommend them for escapism.

Manelia wants me next door but Clovis is affixed on my
lap and purring her heart out. It’s a tricky situation. Clovie isn’t heavy, so I might carry her next door. She gets on well with everybody. XX

@Sandy Cowell Definitely for sure. I've been planning on going to go the gym more frequently and walking more, especially in the colder winters here where we can get as cold as -40, we've landed 'coldest place on earth' titles a couple of times. But I've lived here long enough that I'm used to it.

Rob you deserve an upgrade to 5’8.25 at the very least. You measure near 174 at lunchtime and don't dip under 173 even at your low. Don't get why you've still listed yourself as your low when you're a stronger 5’8 than this. You could claim 5’8.5 without any problem since you're definitely over 5’8.

@Cooper. I agree with you , for me Rob is a legit 174 cm person.

Hey Rob, Jenny baby and all you lovely visitors,

I’ve been sitting in my back garden porch and I observed some 21 aeroplanes and roughly 19 birds flying overhead. Only 5 of them were small birds, the others being enormous ones. I wondered why I only had one fox visitor, only to discover that my brother has been pouring urine on their home, so I will need to make them a new one. They are so tame and friendly and come very close to me for munchies! I love them very much.

Since I’ve come in, I’ve been playing songs to do with nature.

Lots of love to everyone,

-

I would claim 5’8.5.

@Abdul. With those stats 5’8.5 inches is too low. That would be the lowest evening height. You would understate your height by claiming that. I remain convinced that 175 cm is the most fairest height claim for someone with those stats.

Someone knocked my dustbin over this morning! 😂😂😂

I went out to investigate and there were three cats, none of whom would have been strong enough to knock a dustbin over, so it must have been a fox, but he’d disappeared when I was on the scene. Foxes get alarmed very easily. 😲

Next time I’ll make sure I’m there for my foxy friend with a large portion of pizza! 🍕🦊👌🏼

Hi Rob. Would you say a guy who is 171cm, with parents who were about 169cm-170cm (dad) and 162cm (mum) reached his average height potential, genetically speaking?

Hey Sandy! I’m so glad your foxes enjoyed the peanut buttercups I sent you plus the white chocolate high protein bar that your brother bought you. Oh, they do love catfood too and I’m sure they’ll love the scraps, Jasmin likes to lick my hand even if there is just a speck of food on it! 🐩

The father fox is a class dude, he’s so unselfish and he has an interesting way of feeding his young! He knew they’d find the confectionery, complete with his saliva all over it! The kits will have so loved the confectionery! When the father fox is choc-a-block with chocs he may let his young lie on his belly while he’s having a nap!

You are so welcome, I knew that the munchies I sent you would be enjoyed immensely by your resident foxes and I bet they squeal in delight and roll about in the garden on their bellies! Your foxes are all beautiful and placid and I hope more and more is done by our society in the future in order to make the lives of foxes better and better.

I’m so glad you saw a fox in your porch this morning, this will have made your day!

bmb said on 7/Jun/23
@Rob As of late. In hot summer days, when I go for long 45 minute walks and then back, I've noticed I've been shrinking quite fast during the day, even to my absolute lowest height by early afternoon at 176.2cm, when my usual low is 176.7-8cm. Is this kind of fast shrinking normal when you're dehydrated and not notice?
Editor Rob
It might be having a slightly greater effect. I've noticed that on real hot days and doing hard work - I will reach low quicker than normal.

Hi Rob, do you think 176-7cm (solid 176cm) would be considered short for a male in Europe (excluding Southern Europe) and America, when compared to white young males living there?
Editor Rob
Whilst in some countries with average 21 year olds being 5ft 11-6ft range it might, overall I would not class that as short in the vast majority of Europe.

No, your height is not short. In europe the overall male average height is 5’9.5. So I guess you are bang on average.
5'10 Abdul said on 7/Jun/23
@BigRob

Hello sir, I have noticed that I compared to last year only have grown 1.5 cm, or up to 2 cm. Does it mean that I am done growing taller? I mean I am a few mm over 177 cm at my low, so I guess I am a weak 5’10 guy. But I am not dissatisfied about my height. Because I do feel about / low average in my country, so I guess I am fine.

But do you think I am fully done growing?
Editor Rob
At your age I'd take anything else as a bonus. Growth does come in phases for many, where you are dormant for many months, then the body goes through a 1-2 month growth period.

Hey Rob I’m just curious in ur last YouTube video you posed what made you think that Ron Perlmans head is 10.5 inches? Were you just kinda eyeballing it and that’s ur estimate? An average head size on a 7 foot guy would be 10.5-10.6 range Im pretty sure so if it was the big it would look very unproportional you’d think right?
Editor Rob
Well you could compare our heads and conclude his was likely over 10 inches. In person I did think it looked quite big and throws his proportions off.

Hi Rob,

Compared to the players he used to manage, some of whom I've seen, I'd say near 5ft 10 was reasonable.

I personally wouldn't, though many guys would just round up to 5ft 10.

I think 'almost' 5ft 10 covers your range better.

Hey Nik! The foxies enjoyed the peanut buttercups you sent me plus a white chocolate high protein bar which my brother bought me, when they had finished the two cans of catfood and scraps that were on offer today. I noticed how the father fox carried pieces of confectionery in his mouth and dropped them round the garden for the kits to find - and find them they did! It was a joy to watch……

Thank you so much for all the munchies you send my way. They are greatly appreciated and enjoyed immensely by my resident foxes. 🦊🦊🦊🦊🦊 XXXXX

Hello Rob, Jenny, baby and all you lovely visitors!
The father fox is sleeping right next to my house now! I saw his skinny foxy legs yesterday, and this morning, he was curled up and waiting for me. I fed him loads of catfood, which I acquired last night especially for him as foxes prefer it to the dog variety.

I bought a large pizza on the 31st of May, having discovered that my weight is down to 91.2 pounds. I could only manage to eat the cheese from the top, and the following morning, the foxes made light work of the many slices remaining. In fact, it was gone in no time!

The Dad fox carries large portions of food to his young, who scramble about at the back of the garden, though they do come up to the house now, and I’m very pleased and excited about that.

Wishing you all a great weekend! 😁👌🏼

And did you felt that the average height was a bit different when you were in your late teens or early twenties, because you might have been of average height as an young adult.

I would say it's nearer 5ft 10. As for the mid to late 90's, I would have said less, but not a flat 5ft 9.

Rob if I measure 177.5-177.8-12 hours after wake up what height would you class me at ?

Very strong 5ft 9. Whether you should say 5ft 9 and a half is a question, because say you turned up at a Doctor appointment at 11am, you'd likely be nearer 5ft 9.5 and have that figure recorded on your forms.
Tawehret said on 31/May/23
Thanks Rob, least I have a strong idea of how tall the guy is now. He’s an actor in NZ, do you think the third guy is more accurate to guess as he’s closer to Ritchie mccaw? Would u say he’s 173 cm or 174 cm? He looks taller by the guy I asked of, but by Ritchie he looks 173-74 cm

Did you see the guy on Lad Bible who added 5 inches to his height with Leg Lengthening?

This guy went from 5'8 - 6'3
Click Here

This guy went from 5'5 to 6'0
Click Here

Makes me wonder what your thoughts are on this, I immediately thought of you. I'm in my 20's now, not something I'd consider, but when I was a shorter dude in my late teens this might have excited me. Now, I'm happy being 5'8.

Makes me wonder, will this be a common future procedure? will it get easier

Also what do you think the long term negative implications of such a procedure will be? Stretching your Femur/Tibia bone 10cm each sounds pretty concerning.

Final add on: Really appreciate you Rob, as a fellow scots-man your channel always cheers me up and I enjoy how humble and humorous you are. Never change.
Editor Rob
There's a whole channel with footage, interviews etc that is interesting: Click Here. Some guys who done it were already above average. I think those who follow the aftercare routine and keep stretching/exercising will have a better outcome, because all the ligaments and tendons also have to adapt and lengthen.

30 years from now, advancements might make the process smoother and easier and you might find a greater percentage doing the procedure.

From a psychological viewpoint, I think it's a tricky subject. I feel you have to have some deep emotional trauma to consider and then proceed with surgery like that. Maybe you'll find with a proportion of patients that it really does help their mental health in the long run, but you might find with another set of people that even with the added height, the mind will find other worries in life to 'fill the gap'.

Ha ha Alanna! I’ve never heard of Ice Spice! Some say you
should keep updated with music, but I’m too into my early rock from the 60s and 70s and their offshoots later on. 60s music brings back my early childhood and the times that went with that period. With the 70s came the Glam Rock era and also punk or New Wave, some of which was really good and I still play that music today.

Mike Oldfield started his career in the early 70s and his music is ageless. He’s 5ft9.

Hey rob could u pls tell me the height of the man on the far right? He has a pic here with ritichie mccaw (whose hair is quite big) my guess for the guy is 180-81 cm.. as I think u said Ritchie is 187 cm?

Tricky ground, easy to add/remove 1-2cm from a person. Based off that photo though, 5ft 11 would be fair (or a touch more) if ground was pretty even.

@Johan 185cm:

In all fairness, even 6’8/203cm isn’t that outlandish in the Netherlands. 6’6 in most Western countries is roughly equivalent to 6’8-9 in the Netherlands, so strongly in the very tall category and approaching extremely tall. Definitely not a giant though, I agree with that.
Rapha said on 25/May/23
Hi Rob

Would you consider someone measuring 187 cm barefoot as solid tall?
Editor Rob
Yeah, I could see them as solidly tall!
Scubadive said on 24/May/23
Rob if i measured 178.5cm out of bed and 176.3cm at night do you honestly think i can still claim 5’10?
Editor Rob
I personally wouldn't, though many guys would just round up to 5ft 10.

I think 'almost' 5ft 10 covers your range better.

6'10 is definitely not a normal tall height

Is it a giant. I don't think so because on the scale of things 10 inches isn't THAT much if you compare to a 5'11-6'1 guy
He'll be towered for sure but still can make it to the Giuseppe's chin if lucky.
Now a 5'6 guy be obliterated next to a 6'10 range guy

6'6 is giant territory.
I'd say 6'6-6'10 is giant territory

6'11-7'2 is a "mini giant"
7'3/7'4 onward is giant

-----------

6'10" is for sure almost as thats an entire foot over an average 5'10" man. I would say anything 7'0" and above is a giant, absolutely towers guys who are very tall.

I dont actually think 6'6" is that tall. Its very tall but still within norms at least here in The Netherlands.
Andrea said on 21/May/23
Rob, did you take a look at the names I've posted back in December? 😬
In doubt (not really), I'll re-ask you to consider at least the Italian actor Alessandro Borghi, who has been in some of the best Italian recent movies, like Non essere cattivo, Suburra (movie and series), Le otto montagne, and I'm sure has a great career ahead (even internationally). Like I've said before, he claims 186, but I think that's more a shoe height. And before you say that you're not sure he's worth an add or anything like that, don't EVER forget that you added people like Michele Morrone! 😁
Editor Rob
Not looked yet
Alex 6'0 said on 21/May/23
Jdubzz, technically could even say 6'7-7'0 is extremely tall and over that is a giant. 6'4-6'6 to me is very tall then becomes extremely tall then giant. Like you said a giant will tower a very tall guy. Towering at least 5-6 inches minimal. Its a height that people will say omg hes that tall. At least 6'10-6'11 would be the start but omg heights are more over 7'0
Alanna said on 21/May/23
Would it be an error if someone was measured taller on a stadiometer?
Editor Rob
Human error like misreading the figure is possible, and maybe in rare cases the stadiometer (if wall attached) could cause an issue.
Jdubbz said on 21/May/23
@Alex 6'0:

I'm guessing by giant territory he means "extremely tall", because he says mini/semi giants are taller than people in "giant territory." IDK, that phrasing doesn't make any sense to me.
Jdubbz said on 21/May/23
@avi

I'm not being black and white, it's just what you said was phrased in a confusing way. How is "giant territory" different from "giant?" To most people they mean very similar things. It makes no sense to say semi/mini giant is taller than "giant territory."

We usually say 6'6-6'10 is extremely tall, but not giant territory. Giant territory implies being a giant, not 10" below that category.
Alanna said on 21/May/23

Hey rob it's been long time!! so i was wondering how long hair can add to height for example i measured my height with tape measure to half of my hair and got 180 cm around and when i measured to my highest part of my hair i got 181 cm . So what's the perfect height for me .

Hair can vary a lot, so it's hard to tell without seeing.

I would make the cut at 215 cm for a giant. Everything above it is giant territory everything under it is extremely tall but not giant territory.
Alex 6'0 said on 19/May/23
6'6 start of a giant? No way. Very tall man but not a giant. If i seen jdubzz whos a bit over 6'6 id think this guy pretty tall but not a giant. Giants typically will tower Very tall guys
avi said on 19/May/23
@Jdubbz said on 18/May/23

Yes giant territory would be 6'6-6'10

Semi or mini" giant (if you properly read my comment) was roughly 6'11-7'2
Then Would be giant above that

You're very black and white

10 inches on the scale of things in life isn't that big of difference but of course with heights it obviously is...
I was pointing out that a 6'0ish vs 6'10 is towered but the shock value of 5'6 vs 6'10 is crazy BUT a 5'6 guy is short

A true giant will extremely dwarf really tall guys
Sam83 said on 19/May/23
Hi rob, thank you- i will probably wear flip flops/barefoot, which I guess don’t add 0.5 inch, so assume the height difference will be around 1 inch.
I wasn’t prepared to be the shortest in the group! Her friend is 5’7.5 (so similar height, to her and will be wearing those same shoes, so assume she will be over 6ft in those shoes?) and her partner is 6’3, so I just wasn’t sure how noticeable the height difference would be between the four of us if I had no extra height from shoes!
Thank you
Rapha said on 19/May/23
@avi

Yes, most extremely tall people have a condition. I would say that the maximum a human can reach without medical condition and pure genetics should be around 230 cm.
Sam83 said on 19/May/23
Hi Rob, thank you for help, I thought they may add around 5 inches, so guess she will be around 6ft. We will actually be going to fancy dress and those were for a costume- I am going beach theme, so likely wearing flip-flops/barefoot, so no extra height really- so I assume there may therefore be around a 1 inch height difference between us- just wasn’t sure if this would be fairly noticeable in pictures etc?

May be the first time then that my younger sister is taller than me then, if you think these could add 5 inches! Her partner is 6’3, so now wondering if I will look quite short compared to both of them together!
Thank you

It will probably look an inch (from eyelevel perspective)...just depends if you are in 0.5 max shoes or not.

Editor Rob
The lighter pink heel might have a slight edge, but both should be getting her to 6ft range, so she might look a bit taller than yourself if you're wearing 0.5-0.75 shoes. If her eyelevel is higher, then the difference will feel greater.

@Alex 6'0 said on 9/May/23

I think freakish (some don't like that word) can be 6'6 but I agree 7'0+ or around 7'0 (6'11 may qualify)
is definitely like a giant.

I mean if a 6'9-6'10 is walking around you definitely will go "OMG how can he be that tall??"

I mean really how many 6'10+ guys does one encounter
It's VERY rare

Since I became height conscientious maybe 17 years ago or so, I remember seeing maybe 3-4 guys 6'9-7'0

I'm pretty sure I never met a legit 7'0 guy

I never came up to someone's shoulder always came up to their chin.

Maybe if I got out a bit more I'd see some more 6'7-6'10 guys but I feel that range it's pretty rare

I went to a basketball game (NBA) maybe 15 years ago and that was where I of course saw some players 6'10-7'1 area

The closest I've been to a really tall person was at the mall maybe 10 years ago and I remember coming up to their chin so that was a 6'10 range guy
Was HUGE

I'd say 6'6-6'10 is giant territory

6'11-7'2 is a "mini giant"
7'3/7'4 onward is giant

Guys 7'0 + will have MAJOR issues in life

I can't even imagine being more than 6'5

So normal tall would be up to 6'5

6'6 is that gray height where it's a bit freakish.

The health issues a 6'6 guy vs a more optimal tall height of 6'2 zone will be much more where I think most rational men will prefer 6'1 over 6'6 any day


@Rapha

Brahmim is very big
But he and most of the tallest people in world have a medical condition making them tall

It's more interesting to see someone where it's "natural" due to genetics.
Even the guys who are 6'10+ (think some 7'1-7'6 basketball players) who technically don't have a medical condition but have some gene mutation that was inherited
Remember that kid Robert Bobizcky (I'm too lazy now to look up last name but if you search 7'7 teen form Romania he'll come up)
He definitely has something going on but it's not gigantism or acromegaly. His dad was 7'0 zone
So sometimes abnormal height is passed through genes

With that wingspan in ratio to your height, you have basically what they call 'T-Rex arms'. It's not usual, I think, but it does exist. The boxer Rocky Marciano had T-Rex arms.

@Rapha . I don't know from what reason, but my shrinkage in a span of 9 hours I only shrink about a 1/4 of an inch. About 1-1.5 hours out of bed I measure just over 1.82m (1.822m or 5'11.75).I measured about 10 hours out of bed 1.815m or 5'11.5 after having driven a car, swum at the beach and run at the gym for 30-40 minutes.


Does that shrinkage make sense? In a span of 10 hours, I thought I might've shrunk by a whole cm. My question to Rob is:

How many hours out of bed do I measure 1.82m or 5'11 and 2/3 on the dot? Thanks in advance .


@ Rapha my evening height is 1.815m or 5'11.5 9-10 hours out of bed.
@Rapha FYI I measure 1-1.5 hours out of bed 1.822m .


the question was :how many hours would I need to shrink to 182 cm?

@Oren. I would say that in a span of 3 to 4 hours after waking up You should shrink to 182 cm. Well you need to consider that you are very likely to shrink a full 1 cm after 1 to 1.5 hours being awake. In the first hour of waking up, thats where you lose a lot of height. If you would measure urself directly out of bed, you should measure 183 to 183.5 cm.
Then it would make more sense, you would shrink 1.5 to 2 cm in one day which is in the average zone of height loss during the day. You should make the experiment of measuring yourself directly out of bed.
Jdubbz said on 15/May/23
@Alex 6'0:

Yeah, pretty much. I actually got curious after posting that comment and decided to measure my out of bed and evening height for the first time in half a year, I got 6'7 1/8" out of bed (6.5 hours of sleep) and right between 6'6.25 and 6'6 3/8" at my low. Granted it was a pretty relaxed day, so normally I'd be down to 6'6.25". My morning height seems to fluctuate a bit day to day, but evening is generally pretty stable.
MR12 said on 14/May/23
Rob what is your absolute lowest height
Editor Rob
Pretty much typical low, after a hard working session is still 5ft 8 1/8th in recent years. To get an extreme would need something like a full day hiking and being more dehydrated, probably going to be 5ft 8 exactly then.

6'10 is extremely tall. Guy at my gym is about that. Worst 6'9.5. Borderline giant but as tall as he is its not freakish tall. Like you guys say a giant is someone you say omg how is he that tall. Based on that we're talking easily over 7'0. 7'2-7'4 at least

When I look at height on a wall, I do think 7 ft is really where it starts to get mind bogglingly tall. I can see how how people could be up to 6 ft 11 but 7 ft, certainly 7 ft 2 is that height where it almost seems impossible to imagine how somebody could be that big. But I do think around 6 ft 10 is the sort of range where you could really start to call it giant.


Saw a guy at a barbecue last night who claimed “6ft8” and he looked rather towering but not a giant
oren metser said on 14/May/23
@bmb thanks. I got that solved. Seems about right. I'd also like to hear Rob's opinion.
Just to settle once and for all;

@Rapha- FYI- I measure 1.815m (5'11.5) at 18:30 9-10 hours out of bed .So ya that's my evening mark , after some exercise. Last time I checked That was my evening measurement after a strenuous workout, during which I ran for 30-40 minutes, as well as after having driven a car.

1.822m(5'11.75)-my morning height an hour or an hour and a half out of bed, after 7.5 or almost 8 hours of sleeping.

I'm asking Rob- how many hours would it take me to shrink to 182cm exactly , according to my details?
ConnorTheDragon said on 13/May/23
If you were an athlete you'd be listed as 5'9 (174cm). Also I'm exactly an inch taller than you.
oren metser said on 13/May/23
@Rapha ya that's what I was trying to ask..

I was asking @Rob Paul the following: I measured on a given day an hour or an hour and a half 1.822m or 5'11 and 3/4.

On a different occasion, I got 1.815m or 5'11.5 9-10 hours out of bed (18:30) after having gone to a workout, a run and having driven the same day.

How many hours after bed does it take me to shrink to exactly to 182cm? Thanks,keep walking tall!
Editor Rob
Possibly 4-5 hours out of bed you could be 182 on the nose. Worth checking a few measurements during the day to figure it out.

My question is:

How many hours out of bed (on average I am 16 hours awake) do I measure exactly 1.82m or 5'11 and 2/3 on the dot , according to those details ? I am a fairly to considerably active dude who runs or swims or does every now and then steppers. Thanks in advance .

@Oren I am not sure what you meant with your question but if the question was how many hours you would need to shrink to 182 cm. There you have ir, 1 1.5 hours after coming out of bed you will measure 182 cm. Is 181.5 cm your evening height?

Over 6 ft 8 barefoot at the end of the day would be a very extraordinary height and arguably a giant as the tallest guys in any town typically aren't much more than 6 ft 7. But I've long said nearer 6 ft 10 is where it really starts to look like a proper giant. John Isner at 6'9.75 is just about at that height I think where it really looks like it. 6'5.5 - 6 ft 9.5 probably what you could call the "extremely tall" range. I personally wouldn't want to be anything over 6 ft 5 barefoot. A solid 6 ft 4 would be a good height if you have a good build like a Momoa or Dolph.

Hey ,how's everyone? it is the same fellow who measured once 1.822m (5'11.75) an hour out of bed and on another occasion, I measured 1.815m or 5'11.5 , after having woken up at 8:15 and gone to sleep at 00:30..

My question is:

How many hours out of bed (on average I am 16 hours awake) do I measure exactly 1.82m or 5'11 and 2/3 on the dot , according to those details ? I am a fairly to considerably active dude who runs or swims or does every now and then steppers. Thanks in advance .

@Jdubbz

Ah i see you are even 201 cm out of bed.

I am 188.2 or 188.3 cm out of bed on a very good day and drop to 186.2 or sometimes even 186 cm at night.

I go with 187 cm because i believe it is a fair and reasonable average of what i measure during most of the day.

Hello Rob, I'm 28 years old and just starting acting school here in scotland, turns out age isn't an issue. many 21-35 year old mature starters, but I have one issue.

I'm 5'8. Do you think this will affect me in the acting world? i'm always reading about actors heights here and sometimes it does depress me that my height could ruin any potential opportunities i could have in such a tough industry. I'm wondering what you think and may have learned studying other actors heights etc and if it does affect them and any advice? Thank you!
Editor Rob
Height may play some part in casting, but I wouldn't worry about being 5ft 8 in the acting world.

Hey rob was just wondering if u could guess the difference in height between the far left gentlemen and the the middle man?
The far left guy is gaining more height as the the guy on the far right is usually 5-6 cm shorter.

Would say almost 3 inches difference.

@Rapha:

I can’t imagine meeting an eight footer, It would be a totally surreal experience. 7 footers are crazy enough lol

I’m over 200cm out of bed. I haven’t measured my out of bed height at all this year, but last I checked I was a few mm over 201cm at my highest. 200cm is about what I measure 2-3 hours out of bed. Evening lowest height is 198.8-9cm (I measure in imperial so about 6’6.3), so I think it’s fair to claim 199. What are you out of bed and at your lowest?

Hi, Rob. I wanted to ask something. Does feet growth affect your height? Like if someone had 24 cm long foot and if it grew to 27 cm. Does he get taller as well?
Editor Rob
Feet might continue a little longer like to 20 or so.

@Alex 6'0

Yes 6'10" is far from a normal tall height. Guy from work was measured 209-210 cm and they even had to refurbish a car just for him. Special made workboots and clothes as well. I wouldn't say he is a giant but he is close.
Rapha said on 10/May/23
@Jdubbz

That’s right . True giants sre very rare. A friend of mine met at an attraction parc the second tallest person in the world. His name is Brahim Takioullah and he stands at 246 cm tall. My friend was shocked by his height. Just imagine , even a 2 meters person is 46 cm shorter than him.

Btw.. do you measure 200 cm out of bed ? and what is your lowest evening height?
Admir said on 10/May/23

Alex 6'0 said on 9/May/23
6'10 is extremely tall. Guy at my gym is about that. Worst 6'9.5. Borderline giant but as tall as he is its not freakish tall. Like you guys say a giant is someone you say omg how is he that tall. Based on that we're talking easily over 7'0. 7'2-7'4 at least
Alex 6'0 said on 9/May/23
Jdubzz, agreed totally. Its way easier to estimate guys downwards than upwards.
Jdubbz said on 9/May/23
@Rapha

Yes Rapha, you said it perfectly. Seeing a giant should shock you, assuming you aren't a giant yourself. I have never seen a 225 to 230cm person in real life, but such a person would absolutely qualify as a giant. The tallest I have ever seen was in the 216 - 219cm range (if I estimated correctly), and he seemed like a giant to me at the time.

I think a true giant will dwarf even a very tall guy like me. In public, he would almost appear to be a different species. There is a video of Sun Ming Ming (7'9/235cm I believe) in an American airport, and he just dwarfs every single person he comes across. He looks like a different species of human almost because of how much he stands out. The same would apply to someone like Yao Ming or Shawn Bradley who are a bit shorter but still in that 7.5 foot range. Olivier Richters, though "only" 218cm, gives a similar impression just because of how wide and proportional he is. I don't think an extremely lanky stick thin 7'2 guy would strike me as a giant.

206 - 212cm guys, from my perspective, are clearly taller than me but do not necessarily dwarf me. It's like the difference between me and someone of your height. You'd think I was very tall, but I wouldn't tower over you to the point that you were shocked or anything like that.

Those 6'9-7'0 guys stand out a ton in public, but they don't give that "wtf" impression like a true giant. It's a huge difference.

hello rob I have a question. I woke up at 11:00 today and measured my height as 173.6-173.7 at 15.30, and at night I am at least 173. What height do you bill me as?
Editor Rob
That's not much shrinkage. 173cm is what I'd go with, a decent 5ft 8 like myself!
Gian 181cm said on 9/May/23
@Tallishguy
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.

@Jdubbz

I agree that 6"10 to 7 is a category between extremely tall and giant height.

There are only a few real giants in the world and I personally have only encountered one of them which was in my estimations around 225 to 230 cm tall now that is a giant.

When you encounter a giant, you should just be shocked the first moment by his height and you should ask yourself wow how is it possible to be that tall? I think that is an indicator. You do not get that reaction by a guy who is 205 cm tall or even 210 cm.

Yes, I know Giant Gonzalez and yeah he was a true Giant. Guys like Shawn Bradley or Yao Ming are also in that category. So, I would make the cut at 215 cm. Over 215 cm could be considered a giant. Guys like Richard Kiel or Kareem Abdul Jabbar are around 217 or 218 cm tall. I would classify them in the giant category.

Not sure if I would do the same with guys such as Dirk Nowtzki or Nikolai Valuev at around 212 cm.

What is your opinion?
Blackphoenix said on 9/May/23
Hey rob , if someone has morning height of 5'10.5" and evening height of 5'9.75" would you put him on bang on 5'10"?
I am currently 5'10 1/8" out of bed and 5'9 3/8" at my low , i want to be 5'10" bad maybe I can grow about 0.8-1cm ?
I am 18.5 btw , I have grown a little bit in recent times, lacto-ovo-vegetarian so probably started puberty a little later than meat eaters.
Editor Rob
It's a fair listing for them...
Jdubbz said on 9/May/23
@Rapha:

Yep, at 187cm you are solid tall, so it makes no sense for a height only 6cm taller than yours to be considered a giant. At 199cm I consider myself to be in the very tall category, maybe on the upper end of it. I think extremely tall starts at 200cm minimum or perhaps even higher like 202 or 203cm. Tyson Fury and Hafthor Bjornsson are good examples of extremely tall men.

Giant is something else entirely - I think you have to be well into the 7 foot range for that label. When I think of an actual giant, I think of Olivier Richters or the wrestler Giant Gonzales, 7'2 and 7'7 respectively. It's not even their height alone, but also their overall size that contributes to that perception.

Personally I think there should be a category between extremely tall and giant to describe 6'10 - 7'0 men. Super tall or something like that. Not quite legit giants IMO, but taller than "just" extremely tall.

I fully agree 6'4 is a very tall height. Giant is not the same thing as very tall. In a country with a 177cm average, 6'4 is around the 98.4th percentile. That means roughly 1/60 to 1/70 guys are 6'4 or taller. Do you really consider 1/60 guys to be legit giants? You said it yourself, at 6'1 you're above average in height. Do you really go from above average to giant in 3 measly inches? Nope. A 6'4 guy wouldn't even be able to see above your head. That's no giant.

Giants are very very rare, and 6'4 is not rare at all. Uncommon, not rare. I think you're using the term "giant" way too loosely here. Think about the Wrestler Giant Gonzales. Was he 6'4? hell no, he was 7'7. That's a giant's height. Calling a 6'4 guy a giant is like calling a 5'4 guy a dwarf. It doesn't make any sense and it's way too extreme of a term for a height only 6 inches above average.

@Jdubbz. I totally agree with you. I am 187 cm tall and consider myself tall but not extraordinary tall. A 193 cm is only 6 cm taller than me and certainly very tall once you reach above 190 cm but certainly not a giant. I would not even call 193 cm extremely tall just very tall. Extremely tall would be guys such as Tyson Fury at 202 cm but even his height is not a giant height only an extremely tall height.

Rob, what do most people assume you as? (who don’t know your height)

My guess is people would assume you’re 5”9, due to height inflation. I think a lot of men your height would claim it, and also some might claim 5”10.

Jdubzz, yes it was easily a foot difference but couldn't tell exactly. Too tall. Even 6'7-6'8 guys i cant estimate well. Still too much taller than me. Guys 6'4-6'6 i can estimate better

Somehow I can estimate further downwards than I can upwards. I can usually tell whether someone is 5'5 or 5'6 based on where they come up relative to my shoulders, but 7'5 or 7'6? Hell no, lol. You feel the same way?

Could you grow into your wingspan? I have heard from somewhere that this is possible. I am 6’1.25” and have a 6’8.5” wingspan. I just recently turned fifteen. I am not black, rather I’m southeast Asian.

Holy crap, that's a huge wingspan for your height. Yeah you can certainly grow into your wingspan especially at only 15. I was exactly your height at age 15 and I ended up 5" taller. No matter what your wingspan will probably always be longer than your height, but not by 7 inches.
Jdubbz said on 8/May/23
Tawehret said on 7/May/23

If you think being 7.5" above average is a giant then fair enough, we'll just have to agree to disagree. Maybe I'm a bit biased since I'm over 2" taller than 6'4, but nobody considers me a giant either as far as I know.

Jdubbz: It’s on the cusp of being a giant then, that’s 7.5 inches taller than 5’9 which is average amongst young men. I always just think of it like this u have a 6’4 guy in lord of the rings the movies he’s gonna look like a monster compared to other above average height men. I stood next to a real 6’3 guy and was like damn I’m quite abit shorter!! This guys a beast.

I wished the average height for man was 5’4 then we’d all be giants

Jdubbz, I’m above average in height but I just look at 6’4 as being a giant, that’s 3 inches taller than me. That’s a monsters height, I think you being tall and looking at stats have become kinda immune to thinking it’s a very tall or giant height. The average in my country is apparently 177 cm which is New Zealand

Jdubzz, several years ago in nyc i met a guy who claimed 7'2. Was he actually 7'2 not certain but likely. That tall its too hard to guess. Totally towered. I should took pic with him. Definitely a giant he was

Yeah, at your height it's not easy to tell whether a guy is 7'2 or 7'1 or 7'3. Even I can't tell exactly how tall a guy like that is. All I can do is go off of facial proportions (if I'm eye level with his shoulders and as tall as his mouth level, he's approx 8" taller than me), but I have no idea how that would work for a 14" difference lol
