The inevitable average height thread

According to the Office for National Statistics the average adult height in the UK is 5ft 9in for men and 5ft 4in. This is slightly smaller than I thought and fabbers, my question is are you about average height and how do you feel about it? Or if you aren't, do you wish you were?

And I'm 6ft which makes me tall, I think, but not so tall that it becomes a massive problem so I am very happy with my height.

"I'm 5ft8.

I'd say that puts you at the lower end of the tall bracket. Most of the tall advantages, few of the drawbacks.

I'm below overage (f) and husband is above average.

I'm happy being short.

Although husband has to stoop to kiss or hug me when we're stood up. I don't think he minds.

Being shorter than average is making efficient use of overall land mass/population density/flying freeholds/listed buildings with low ceilings/differential between pavements and streets. I could go on.

50% of men in the UK are below 5ft 9 inches and 50% are above with 10 - 15 % being over 6ft tall.

So most people who are dating must be with men shorter than the average.

I'm 153cm or the female average of 5ft 4in.

That's what I thought too. But then I've thought about it and of the 10 men that live in my bit of the street, only one is taller and 4 are a lot smaller. And in my area at work there's one man who's the same height and the rest are all smaller. We're just not so big that we tower over everyone.

This seems to be a common trait, unawareness of being a tall person. I bet you struggle on planes and trains though.

That's the thing, if you want to appear taller there are options. To appear smaller it's either walking on your knees, surgery, or waiting until you shrink as you get older

I just like being tall, it's a better view flights are fine it's the sleeping pods on the buses in Asia even sleeping diagonal, just not quite big enough.

Always been short

Never bothered me in the slightest apart from the practical

Every pair of trousers I buy needs turning up.

Even short leg fit is around 3 inches too long for my leg.

It works out about £15 I need to add on to the cost of every pair of trousers I buy, just for the alterations.

We all have wardrobe struggles. I avoid trousers that don't come in variable lengths, they a almost always just a bit too short.
