This is a stupid discussion because you guys don't live in my county, so you wouldn't know. There isn't a single country where 190 cm isn't well above the average height. In Netherlands the average is 184 cm. But 190 cm is actually the average height of the Maasai people. Are you Maasai, Evan? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Believe it or not, I happen to be 190 cm (6'3) myself and most my male friends, co-workers are my height, give or take a few cms. The only time I am ever labelled a ''tall guy'' is when I'm abroad. Almost never in my own country. And that makes sense, seeing as so many guys here are around my height. I am not saying 190 cm is short by any means, but tall? Not really. I have a few friends and acquaintances that are 195 and over. They are considered tall for sure. So yeah, I don't know what google says about the average height here, but this is from my experience living here for several decades.

The reason you think it isn't tall is probably specifically because you are 6'3 yourself. People tend to see themselves as the measure of what is normal and average. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a stupid discussion because you guys don't live in my county, so you wouldn't know. One feet are 30,48cm. My converter says 6'3 are 1,92cm. If that's not tall in your country, well, fine but I think in the US it is tall. As it's probably everywhere else. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it's 190 cm, or maybe 190.5 if you want to be completely accurate But I never disagreed about it not being tall in other countries, I even said so several times already. But now people are trying to argue with me that they know better about what the majority in my country considers tall or not, and that's pretty weird!

It is tall in your country, too, at least a fair bit taller than the average. Maybe you stoop a lot? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you stoop a lot? This has nothing to do with me. Even if I was 170 cm I would still say that 190 cm isn't that tall here. It would be tall compared to me obviously, but not to the average male here. Edited July 31, 2022 by EvanG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you like 165 cm tall and you can't accept that in some countries even 190 isn't considered to be tall and that makes you feel bad about your own height? Clearly you didn't read my posts because I never commented on what the average height is, because I don't know. Every website gives a different number. I am sure it's less than 190 cm, though, but that's not the point. I am speaking from my own experience living in this country and what most people consider tall and what not. Why is that so hard to understand? If you want to speak numbers, I am sure 190 cm is only a few cms above the average height here, so yes, a few cms above the average height isn't considered to be tall for most. I just checked (can't believe I am doing this) that the average height in the US for men is 175 cm. Then I can understand that for most people in said country, 190 cm is tall. But only a few cms above the average height isn't considered tall for most people. Why in god's name is this such a big deal that people are aguing about something trivial like this? Fucking hell...

Why do you only hang with tall guys, bro, the average is 184 and the distribution is bell shaped, there should be just as many 178s as 190s there, what you got against short fellas?

Fucking hell... Because you are injecting your subjective opinion on something that can be factually proven and laid out in numbers - is why you have managed to garner like a crowd of people here trying to tell you why what you're saying is nonsense. If -anything- is above average in whatever measurement then it is considered big or tall. Applying this apparently hard to understand ancient logic humanity has used to this day means: if you are above average in height, then you are tall. And average height is clearly NOT 190cm anywhere, we can tell that even without a certified source.

Applying this apparently hard to understand ancient logic humanity has used to this day means: if you are above average in height, then you are tall. And average height is clearly NOT 190cm anywhere, even without a certified source that's pretty obvious to anyone. Maybe we have a different definition of what tall is? When you go somewhere and most of the guys you meet are around the same height, then this height is usually not considered tall. People who tower over most other people are usually considered tall. You understand? I realize very well that someone with my height is considered tall in most other countries. In mine, not so much. I'll give two random examples. In college, every class I attented, consisted for about 80% of guys with the same height as me, give or take a few cms. I was never considered short but not tall either. The other 20% consisted of guys significantly shorter or taller. I think that's a pretty good indication. My previous job consisted out of 6 guys. At 190 cm I was the shortest out of all 6 guys. The office I work at now consists of 4 guys. Two of them are taller than me, and the other guy is a tad shorter. These are two random examples, I can give a hundred more. But this is a good indication that 190cm isn't particularly tall here because you will find guys with that height more so than anywhere else. This is the tallest nation in the world, and it should be understandable that here the norm of what is considered tall is different than in most other countries. I don't get why this is such a big deal for some. Edited August 1, 2022 by EvanG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
