Dr Scroopy Noopers Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 I am 6' 2 1/4''. I was over 6' by the time I was 13 but strangely I don't have any tall people in my family. 6' 2'' = 1.88m Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomTervo Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 (edited) I am 6' 2 1/4''. I was over 6' by the time I was 13 but strangely I don't have any tall people in my family. 6' 2'' = 1.88m Similar, but not as extreme. I'm same height as Ethan - about 5/11, but a tiny bit more, so I round up to 6", though I have a hunch I'm trying to address. And nobody else in my family breaks 5/7. Super weird. Put it down to WWII malnutrition I guess, in their generation (though I recently heard tell that people were better nourished during WWII then ever before or since...) I often put my height as 184 or 185cm, which is roughly 5.11. Edited November 10, 2014 by kenshi_ryden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 I'm 6'1" or there abouts. It fluxuates, I'd imagine mainly due to folks having to measure up, but even on the digital sonar thing it's jumped around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 5'10" or 5'11", depends on the day and what shoes I'm wearing. Occasionally I will round myself to 6' for rough scale purposes. And nobody else in my family breaks 5/7. Super weird. Put it down to WWII malnutrition I guess, in their generation (though I recently heard tell that people were better nourished during WWII then ever before or since...) My older brother and I are about one head taller than our parent's generation and we absolutely tower over our grandparents generation. Better nutrition in action but I guess genetics is a factor since, generally, both sides of my family are considered taller than average for their area(s). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
