Where does "Tall" start?

Haha maybe because I'm "tall" it's skewed but 6'2" for a guy and 5'10" for a woman in my opinion...

I'm about 5'7 1/2 and I constantly get called short at Volleyball (but I can still block on a guy's regulation height net).... But then at work -I'm called tall because most my coworkers (mostly women) are about 5'3 or 5'2

So, it also depends on whom you're surrounded by - basketball, volleyball players or non - sports people :-D

Tall starts where short ends

Funny. Because I'm 5'6" and have always been called tall. :laugh: I guess it depends on your vantage point.

I'm 5'8" and have always been told I'm tall.

I think 5'8" for women and 6' for men.

I have to agree with this.

I am 5'8" and I was always considered tall.. I think woman's average height is 5'4"?

Average height (ask.com) for men 5'9", for women 5'4" - sounds kinda puny to me... I'd say women 5'8" + and men 6' + could be considered tall.

6'10' women, 6'3" men. Anybody under can't ride my roller coaster unless they have heels on...

6"10" women! That is tall.

Lots of leg room on my roller coaster. We tall people need some perks!

6'10' women, 6'3" men. Anybody under can't ride my roller coaster unless they have heels on...

6'10" for women???

Damn. And I thought I was tall at 6'1"! LOL

I'm 6'1" and so a man 6' or shorter gets called shorty by me. "Tall" for men from my vantage point starts at 6'4". I rarely if ever see women even close to my height, so I go by the average woman being approximately 5'6", so anything maybe 2 inches taller would be tall?

I realize that for men, the average is 5'10", so by the same principle I use for women, tall men would start at 6'. But that's so short!

Being only 5'0, I'd say tall for a girl starts at 5'6. For a guy, like 5'11.

Well, I am 5'0, so my view may be tinted, but if I'm describing a woman to someone else, I'd probably call her tall if she's 5'7 or taller. For men, probably 6'0+. I have a friend who is 6'4. I call him super tall. I also think physique has a lot to do with the appearance of height. If you're really skinny, you'll look taller than you are and vice versa. One of my best friends from childhood is only 5'6, but I've always thought of her as being tall because she's so thin.

On a related note, I learned fairly recently that only 15% of men in the U.S. are 6'0 or taller. So all the single ladies who insist on dating men who are taller than 6'0 ... good luck with that. (I know, I'm a shortcake, easy for me to say.)

I'm 5'9" and always wear 3-4" heals. I figure why not? I feel confident. If someone feels I'm too tall, that's there problem, not mine. I feel statuesque and model-like. ????

I'm 5'11" I'd say tall starts at 6'1" for men, probably 5'8" for women.

Side note: I've long observed two things about women and height. 1) Women don't want to be seen with a man who is less tall than she is, even if he's not really short. When I see a 6'2" woman, she is always with a man 6'3" or taller. 2) This seems to matter more to women than to men. Am I wrong?
