That sounds about right for Americans. Since the average height (or is the median) is 5'9."

Tall is quite a relative term. I am 5'11"; any guy my height /shorter is definitely NOT tall to me.
I think 6 feet is tall, you are super tall! The average american woman is only 5'4."

Its relative to location. In India, I was considered quite tall. In the Jersey shore, I am apparently short.

I am a 5'11" and 179 lb guy, which is the typical physique for a guy IMO.

You just have a tall family. I think for a woman 5'4 is average-least American speaking. So, you're a tall woman, with a tall man, and have a tall as heck son.



I am only 5'0, so a guy taller won't be hard. But I would love to snag that handsome 6'4 guy. My current crush is 6'4 lol

But really, I want taller than me. I don't measure guys, so exact numbers mean nothing. At least a head taller would be nice.

I don't know, 6'4" is just a little too far for me. I've gotta reach too far to give him a hug. 5'10"-6'1" is much better.

Yes. My sister is 5'3" and she thinks her 5'10" husband is tall. I'm 5'11" and definitely do not consider him to be tall. My husband is 6'3", and while he towers over my sister, he's not that much taller than me so I don't think of him as being particularly tall, either. When we're in a group, I sometimes notice how tall he is compared to most of the people in the room; but in group situations, I'm taller than a lot of the guys. Like Pitt Chick said, tall is relative.

Could it have to do with the fact that women are insecure over appearing tall at times? If not, then why do they find taller guys to be more attractive?

Some women prefer some guys and other women prefer other guys.

(I think "height" threads have been banned on the forum).

Not all women. Personally, I think women who need to feel protected are incredibly insecure and cannot get used to the fact that they are adults, not Daddy's little girls. It's just as shallow as men who place everything on boob size and other superficial features.

I'm 5'5" and 135 lbs; my wife is 5'9' and 180 lbs. I don't feel less masculine because of it. Society's rules are arbitrary and idiotic.
