Title: poll: how tall are you?
Post by: franksolich on July 26, 2009, 07:38:55 AM: PLEASE READ THE CRITERIA FOR ALTITUDE BEFORE ANSWERING THE QUESTION.

This poll for statistical purposes only; I have about five more to post, in market research to determine what needs to be done to attract traffic to the Lounge.

I dunno what the national "averages" are, so am using the Nebraska standards:

If one is male, 6'2" and taller is "tall."
If one is male, 5'10" to 6'2" is "average."
If one is male, less than 5'10" is "short."

If one is female, 6' and taller is "tall."
If one is female, 5'8" to 6' is "average."
If one is female, less than 5'8" is "short."

I'm 5"7" and my oldest daughter is already 5"8" and she is only 15

Post by: Flame on July 26, 2009, 08:29:54 AM: I answered "average" per your instructions, Frank, but have been considered tall my entire adult life...I'm 5'9".

My daughter is 5'3"...I would consider her short.

I thought maybe you were looking for a taller than average, rich woman with an advanced degree who likes oval watermelons. :-)

Post by: franksolich on July 26, 2009, 03:10:39 PM: Well, all the unhitched women around here--there's not many, but some--in the Sandhills, they're generally pretty close to six feet, like 5'10".

I'm 6'3", and recall how when I lived in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, it seemed as if I towered over most people there. Here, I'm a little bit taller than usual, but not enough that I stand out.

I read on freerepublic once that Dutch and Danish males are the tallest in Europe; there aren't hardly any of Dutch derivation in Nebraska, but those of Danish derivation are one of the three major ethnic groups here.

Somewhere else on the internet (sorry, no link, because if I saved every link pointing to useful and valuable information, I wouldn't have any "free space" on the hard-drive), I read that South Dakotans tend to be microscopically-taller than Nebraskans.

Post by: BlueStateSaint on July 26, 2009, 05:31:41 PM: I think I'm average--by about 1/2".
Title: Re: poll: how tall are you?
Post by: Linda on July 26, 2009, 05:35:51 PM: It took me a while but I finally made it up to 5'1''
I think that still leaves me in the short catagory...where ever you set the mark....

Post by: Duke Nukum on July 27, 2009, 07:30:02 PM: I am the perfect height. Everything in the world, except old houses in Europe, seem like they were designed specifically with me in mind. Door handles, elevator buttons, windows in doors, are all the perfect height for me.

The world truly is my oyster.
