how tall are you?

[Mean Feat]

I'm 176 cm (5'9" if I've converted it right). Male, adult.

Ah, sixth grade, when for a brief time we tower over the boys and wield our power without compassion or mercy!

I'm trying to visualize you as one of the gang of big girls with dirty socks who dragged me into the toilets and ... *sigh* ... but you're not tall enough. They were a head taller than me, and that's when I could still stand. *sigh*

Ah, good times.




Everything up to the horizontal line is BS for comedic effect.

Either we have a lot of tall people on this forum or we have a lot of wannabe tall people

Or... only tall people like talking about their height.

Yea i call bullshit. Everyone is tall on the internet. Im actually 6-4 and in the US 6-4 is in the 99.5th percentile. To put that into perspective, if there are 1000 NSers, a grand total of 5 should be 6-4 or higher. Count them in this post alone and there are dozens.

When i walk into any random room im almost always the tallest person in the room. However if you ask what peoples height is on the internet im just slightly taller then average. Conclusion: People are full of shit.

Your logic is SEVERELY flawed, you assume that EVERYONE on NationStates comes from the US, this is NOT the case; therefore, it is perfectly plausible that there will be a higher number of people over the average height on NS, compared with the US average, as you have to include people from the entire world in your calculations. Conclusion: your logic is full of shit.

For the last 200 years right up to a year or two ago, the US was the tallest nation on average in the world. So since the rest of the world is much shorter on average it BOOSTS my logic not refutes it.

So that makes 3 of us that are 6'4" or taller, and not lying.
It's the same thing for me, almost. I'm usually the tallest when I walk anywhere, but not by much.
But when I was in the army, I was the 3rd tallest in my platoon (actually tied with second but for the pic I stood in 3rd), 4th or 5th in my whole company, (Same kinda deal as with my Platoon)

Stop being dramatic over nothing. Its boring. The US was the tallest country for almost 200 years. In the last decade Europe on average surpassed the US in height. However, 75% of the rest of the planet, Asians etc are shorter in comparison and inarguably including ALL the worlds statistics as you so strenuously insisted i do, still provide a boost my point rather then proof against it. Stop being silly.

Reorder it. The US average for all people is a fair bit lower, the 5' 10" is for white Americans only. Sweden is 4 centimetres taller, and that is a measured value. Norway and Denmark are also taller than exclusively white Americans.

yes, they are taller, and actually have measured values. Of course I doubt a majority of posters on NS come from those countries. Most people are likely form the US, UK and Australia. The Uk having the same, NZ and AUS having lower avg heights than the US.

According to that there are several countries (mainly in Europe) with greater heights than the US 20-29 sample.

The rest of the world "on average" is certainly shorter than US people "on average". There are a lot more Indians and Chinese, than Dutch or Germans. And they're several inches shorter, not one inch taller.

You can call bullshit on "the US was the tallest nation" but I think Intestinal Fluids' point stands.

Ah, I got a bit confused. Countries which use the Imperial System should be banned.

But you'll note that one of the two studies for Australians has them with on average taller heights than the US on average. At least, that's young Australians So according to that the Average Young American is shorter than the Average Young Australian, but overall the reverse is true.

Also, apparently American Women are shorter than those in the other "similar" countries, meaning the UK, Canada and Australia.

Naturally I keep looking at the imperial measures... haha, units disaster. Regardless, the difference is pretty small, so unless theres a ton of guys here from Scandinavia, it won't make much of a difference.

Also, apparently American Women are shorter than those in the other "similar" countries, meaning the UK, Canada and Australia.

Thats unlikely to have any effect if we're talking about people whose height is over 6'0", so few women are that tall- particularly due to lower avg heights than men, and iirc, lower std dev
