I'm 6'1" and I begin to notice people's height around 5'10".0

I am 5'9 I was just in a meeting and most were shorter than me and some were by a lot. I don't think I am at tall till I go out to places and realise there are a lot of shorter humans out there.0

I don't know the cut-off but I am 6'5", and I have a 31" inseam! Doc said if my legs matched my torso I would be 6'10"! I figure if your legs touch the ground you are good:-)2

Average height for women is around 5'3, and I think generally 5'7 would be the start of calling a lady tall.
But it also has to do with personal perception. I have sisters who are 5'3 and 5'7. I'm 6' myself, so I consider both of them short. But the 5'7 one is tall to the 5'3 one (I'm a giant to the 5'3 sister and I love it!).0 -

This is so true! I visited Denmark and Sweden last fall and was totally amazed at how many 6' plus women I saw! My daughter is nearly 6'3" and she did not look out of place there. And I, at 5'9" (shrunk from 5'10") felt positively average.0 -
I'm dutch. 5'10" considered normal height by all my cousins. I live in the south in America. I'm considered super tall here!0

I found this site - it calculates height percentile by country. For me in Canada, at 6'1" - 1 in 1733 people would be taller then me. When I switched it to the Netherlands, it said 1 in 99. It is a very interesting site!

I am 5'11 and my childhood best friend is 4'11. She claims she is 5' now, but I don't believe her. My mom is 5'7 and my dad is 5'11, sister coming in at a whopping 5'5. I have always felt like I towered over everyone. I'm getting married next year and my tallest bridesmaid is my sister... I can't win for losing. HAHA!0

As a man, of 5'8" which I consider short for men, I consider a woman of 5'8" or taller to be tall. I had a girlfriend who was my weight, we were both ok with it, she wear flats most of the time when we went out. I believe it's all hoe one carries themselves. Confident and all is well.
Let me propose this question to you women 5'8" and taller - would you date a man that is 5'8"?

I wear petite pants (28" inseam) and that does not prevent me from being 5'10" tall.
O_o *sigh* and here I am being 6'1 and needing 36" inch at a bare minimum....
