How Tall Are You?

[bignick]

at first i had problems with shorter people closing on me...now it doesn't matter...and sometimes i'll take the fight to the smaller people and close on them...not only is it unexpected...but there's a bit of an intimidation factor sometimes too...

6'1........

BUT.....all round I am slightly larger than your average bear

also I learned,many moons ago, "image projection" does wonderous things for size.................................................................

5' 8" here.......haven't really had any height issues over the years with myself or anyone else. Sometimes it's hard to work out with the kids in class though.......they are a bit short!!

If I stand up very straight I can be 5'3". My diminutive stature tends to be an asset when confronted by those who think because they're bigger... KT

Oh, I know. I didn't mean my reply to sound like it was defensive or anything either. I just didn't think the average height was that tall, so I looked around for some info. I'm not sure if the sites I found the 5'9" number on would all be "reputable" or official in some sense, but it did seem like that number was coming up more than something like 6'. You can take a look around if you like and see what you find. I just did a quick search, so better search terms might get better restuls. BTW, the number for women was like 5'4" IIRC, but I could be wrong of course.

My height's fine with me, it's good for ballroom dancing, my main social activity, because most of the women (sometimes with heels) are around my height, give or take a few inches, so neither one of us towers over the other. A large height difference makes dancing together a bit harder, you have to adjust your hold more. Being of an average height, I normally don't run into that problem.

In Med School you're taught that the avg. ht for men in the U.S. is 69" and 65" for women. At 71" I find that I'm taller than most cats. When I say cats I mean male Homo Sapiens not male felines .

Peace.

I am 5'10 - I prefer to spar taller people. There is more surface to hit
