This ISNT a duplicate! The other post didn't have a poll.

Girls can vote too on this one.

BUMP

Ignore the other thread!!

I was 6'2", since 1972 I am only 3'8".

I'm going to need a translation.

Why the "EGAD!" for under 5' 2"?

I'm under 5' 2", which is perfectly normal for a woman of my height. *nods*

6' flat

And your height matters how?

6' flat

6 foot lying down flat - that is somewhat abnormal.

Damn. They're on to me. :p

Damn. They're on to me. :p

ROFLMAO! When I'm laying flat, I'm a LOT less than 5'2"! Think about it! :D

That's probably a good thing.... ;)

When lying flat I am between 9" and 1'4" depending on my mood. So 6' is very impressive.

That's probably a good thing.... ;)

No DUH! :D

One million inch.

so in a thread for both men and women, and at 5'11 i'm in the bottom half of the polls height. hmmm nationstates must attract big folk, or people are still post in character

I'm 5'2.

Why isn't this poll public? :(

My three older children were my wife's by her first marraige. Their biological father's mother was about 4'6". So both of my older daughters are under 5', and my older son is 5'1". Doesn't seem to have bothered them much, since all three are kind, compassionate, intelligent and moderately successful. :)

I've never had that problem, actually. I've been chosen for a lot of leadership roles throughout my life. Must be the force of my dynamic personality. :p

I noticed I'm the only one who's voted 6'4/6'5 so far ... could I be the tallest one here? Kooky.

Not where my older son is concerned. People just naturally gravitate toward him ... particularly the female variety. :)

Hmm. Could be, although I seem to recall someone saying they were 6'7" awhile back. :eek:

inch=>cm (http://annica.in-cyberspace.net/en/inch_cm.html)

EDIT: ok, I don't get it.

I'm tall enough to make Tom Cruise look like a midget.

Oh wait - that's everybody.


nevermind......

I am a full six foot and one inch when in my 'attack' pose.

You shouldn't have shaved your head. Besides looking like a cue ball, it would have given you a few inches.

Well, I'm hitting the 6'4" marker.... and I believe Upwardthrust may be 6'4" also...

When I was 21 I was 6' 4", now, at 43 I am 1.89m

Well, I'm hitting the 6'4" marker.... and I believe Upwardthrust may be 6'4" also...

Okie good ... I didn't think I would be tallest. :)

Now, however, I know who will understand when I bitch about movie theater seating and the fact that vehicle driver seats only go back "so far" and that jeans manufactorers seem to think that if your legs require a 36, then your waist must logically be a 50+.

I love living in a world made for 5'10 people.

A conversion chart for our friends who use the infinitely more sensible metric system.

Under 5'2"--Under 157.4
5'3"--160
5'5"--165.1
5'7"--170.1
5'9"--175.2
5'11"--180.3
6'1"--185.4
6'3"--190.5
Over 6'5"--Over 195.5


(What may have thrown you, Haken, is that each foot is 12 inches. So you have to multiply that out before you do the conversion.)

2 metres baby (6'6")

I am 5'7"--170.1

I'm 5'7" but I get teased about being short all the time. My roommates are 6'6" identical twins. They always bitch about discrimnation against tall people. And the size of my Japanese car. :D

Gah, what was the part of my evolution chapter in my Biology book that said the average characteristic of a population is the one that shows out the most? Stabilized something methinks...

167.5cm (5'6" for the barbarians ;))

I'm 5'5"

185.5cm

188 cm
No idea what that is in English measurements.

I'm 5'4

I'm going to need a translation.
Try this page, it makes everything easy...

Anyway, I'm 5'10" (70"), or 1.778 m.

I guess kinda on the tall side for a girl, but then again, it looks like there are a lot of tall people on this thread at least... although I wouldn't surprised if that were a result of the self-selecting nature of threads!

157.4 :) (or 5'2" ish)

I'm almost 6', just a tiny fraction of an inch under.

I think I'm like 5'4"/5'5"

Comrades,
im only 5'4 but that is exactley average for my age i think...

im 6foot 8inches so nation states must attract big pees

I think it may also be slanted upward due to the high male:female ratio around here.

172cm

or 5'8" for the other people...

I'm female and 178 cm (or 5'10") tall.
And no, I'm not wearing heels (but I have a pair of 7 cm ones ...)

wierdo...j/k :fluffle:

Ah, yes, good point.

NationStates: where the odds are good, but the goods are odd.

;)

Hmm... I wonder what the poll would look like if all 6.4 billion inhabitants of this planet voted... :hmm:

Yeah, being 5'10" never stopped me from wearing heels - and in the past, I've had pairs that were up to 4" (just over 10 cm) tall.

I think my highest pair now is about 3.5" (almost 9 cm).

I'm 184cm, I guess that's about 6"1 oder 6"2.

Tall women have longer legs. Legs are sexy.

Legs are sexy.
As long as they're attached to a properly proportioned torso. :p

True.

I lied on the pole... I am just over 175 cm and I am too stupid/lazy (you pick) to figure it out myself.

I'm about 6' 3''

5'6", or thereabouts. Ok, so I'm short, but my best friend says I'm the perfect height for hugging :)

I was 6'2", since 1972 I am only 3'8".
heheheh that is funny and depressing at the same time.

6'2

I'm only 5'3!

Okie good ... I didn't think I would be tallest. :)

Now, however, I know who will understand when I bitch about movie theater seating and the fact that vehicle driver seats only go back "so far" and that jeans manufactorers seem to think that if your legs require a 36, then your waist must logically be a 50+.

I love living in a world made for 5'10 people.

And flying.... because air-transport is designed to package units of less than 6ft length...

And all the less-than-6ft clearances of everyday life.... from low doorframes, to head-height 'attack' signs in stores...:)

*thinks for a second*

Of course, I'm a girl, so some of those issues are just as difficult for me because I'm a lot taller than the average girl, and only slightly taller than the average guy.

(But a whole lot smarter than the average bear! :D )

6,1 205lbs and still growing WOOT!
