I'm 6'1", and currently about 220 lbs (hoping to cut that down to under 200 though )

In.......

Minneapolis: I felt almost small, or average at best. Even some women towered over me!
Chicago: I felt pretty tall compared to the Italians and Poles I associated with
Columbus: I felt fairly tall, although as a college student I was surrounded by many people from different regions, so it's hard to say
Cleveland: I feel fairly tall. I'd say I'm taller than 75% of the male population here, but that's just a guess.

I'm 6'6" so I feel tall everywhere except when I was playing basketball in college. Right now I'm in Peru and I'm pretty much a giant here.

At 6'3", I'm a giant where I live (Phoenix). Growing up in the midwest, I was still tall, but not "out of place" tall.

At 5'10", I don't feel nearly as short in Los Angeles as I did when I lived back east. Thank you, latinos!

I'm 6' and feel quite average. My dad is 6'5" so quite tall. Growing up I just assumed it was perfectly normal for you dad to be 6'5". People would tell me he was so tall when I was a child and I would just look at them and say "no he's not".

I'm 6'0'', and I feel slightly above average here in the Virginia Beach area. I also have a bigger build and broad shoulders, so I never really feel small anywhere I go, even if I'm not the tallest guy in the room. Definitely taller than everyone at my office and taller than most of my friends.

You would love St. Louis then. Everybody there is really short.

Obviously. College basketball players are known to be taller, lol.

I'm 6'1. Tall here in Dallas, tall in Los Angeles where I hailed from. The majority Latino population as well as Asians in LA severely drive down the median height. Dallas seems taller than LA though, still on the short side imo. LA is just shorty central.

The height range seems to vary a ton in each county in Texas. Some have tall people, while others have places where people who are 5'11" will possibly feel really tall in.
