carlosj Posted April 24, 2019 Report Share Posted April 24, 2019 I feel excluded from the other groups. I want to stand up for the average person. Who's with me? If you've got grey hair and a monotonous office job, so much the better. Say it loud, say it proud "I'm average!" 5'10". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayrshire Chris Posted April 24, 2019 Report Share Posted April 24, 2019 Shite, I had thought at 5 8 I would have qualified for the average people thread. Now it seems I might be at the upper end of the wee folk thread if 5 10 is the qualifying height. Life is a bitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuartbert two hats Posted April 24, 2019 Report Share Posted April 24, 2019 I used to be 5'10.5" . I was very proud of the half an inch. Then I measured myself and found out I was 5'9.5" I'm getting old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it wasn’t just me who has spent the last ten minutes with a pen marking the back of the living room door then measuring my height with a Stanley steel tape!

crocodiles Posted April 24, 2019 Report Share Posted April 24, 2019 Ffs it seems like average people are 5 10 and the tall ones are 6 2 . What about us in the wilderness between those heights . Are we rejected by both groups to tall to small ....or does having grey hair put me in the average group ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMF Posted April 24, 2019 Report Share Posted April 24, 2019 I am worried we are wandering into a minefield here, with a lot of racial and sexual assumptions, The average height in some Asian countries, such as Vitnam and Malaysia is 5’5" for men and 5’1" for women. In Iceland or Norway it is 5’11 and 5’6" I just hope no one starts a Us Tall, Blonde, Blue Eyed thread, we all know where that leads (well maybe not Wayne Hennessay), come on people we are better than this.?
