    Me is 5' 9.5"

    To be exact :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 425 ✭✭StephenInsane


    No, the average used to be 5'9" (20 years ago?) but we're getting taller on average, so I'd say it might be 5'10" at this stage.

    But it clearly seems the average height of the average ultra macho boards.ie alpha male is closer to 6'5.

    6' 2"

    that was about 2 years ago though. i might've grown/shrank since then...

    5'7"-5'10" - it varies for some reason. But I'm probably closer to 5'7". Also quite light - about 10 stone or less (I lost loadsa muscle after giving up meat :().

    a lot of tall people on here! i think some of you should actually go measure yourselves before posting, i did. remember to take your shoes off and if possible, get someone else to do the measuring because you cant do it accuratly by yourself.

    as a short person i would be interested in discussing the theory that:

    "short people got no reason to live"


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,458 ✭✭✭CathyMoran


    5'2" - great things come in small packages :p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,008 ✭✭✭rabbitinlights

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,598 ✭✭✭ferdi


    oh, i do irony alright...

    i dont mind being short really but some times i cant reach stuff, such as sky-lights and adult reading material.

    Anybody been to Mr. Big and Tall in Goatstown (D14)? In an old cottage with a door so small that neither big nor tall can fit through without ducking/diving/squeezing.

    Where's Merc? He'd like this thread for his experiments.

    I'm 17ft tall.

    Actually, I'm 5ft 11.

    I think I am 5' 7" or there abouts I must get someone to measure me - I think I am just over the weight for my height but it doesn't show too much ( I hope!!) :o


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,414 ✭✭✭LoneGunM@n

    6'7", damn proud too


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,505 ✭✭✭irlirishkev


    I'm 5'8".
    I'm shorter than most of my friends. This doesn't bother me though. It seems to me that tall people get more of a kick about being tall, than short people give a toss about being short.. if you know what I mean!

    going by the posts which aren't totally outrageous the average male boards member so far is

    77+69+72+70+77+71+72+66+76+71+72+73+70+76+71+65+76+72+73+71+79
    +72+75+75+71+73+72+73+72+67+73+72+68+69+74+67+72+67+74+71+68
    +70+75+75+67+75+70+71+76+71+67+74+75+79+68+69+74+70+78+76

    divided by 60 = 72.066666666666666666666666666667 inches tall

    or 6 foot, welcome to the tallest online community in the world

    You can't circumvent pointless polls by just not including the poll. Next one of these gets a ban.
