Average height.
(dozers, do fuck off ur a nob m8, Mon 2 Apr 2012, 19:01, 2 replies, latest was 12 years ago)

isn't the average male height in the uk 5' 11?

(berk, Mon 2 Apr 2012, 19:03, Reply)

No.
5 foot 9 apparently. Which makes me about a centimetre shorter than the average.

Hardly Battered, am I?
(dozers, do fuck off ur a nob m8, Mon 2 Apr 2012, 19:05, Reply)

I genuinely believe it is, you know
I'll have to check that when I get home. I know for sure it's 5' 3 for women.
(berk, Mon 2 Apr 2012, 19:07, Reply)

So there's an 8 inch difference between men and women?
That seems a lot.

One source says that as of 2008, 5 foot 9.

Oh well, i've been wrong before
could've sworn it was taller than that, though.

Unless there's been a drastic increase over the last three years or so, no.
5 foot 9.

says that average height for a man in 1800 was 2ft
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Mon 2 Apr 2012, 19:25, Reply)

It's quite clear that most men in the current time are noticeably less than 6 foot tall.

Nope.
The NHS state 5 foot 9 for men.

Mean height of 175.3 cm.

ANd if your source is correct, I'm even taller than I thought.

Edit: Ahh, I see yours is an average including people who are still growing, assuming you as between 25 and 34 Mine is more accurate.
( CQ Knows the truth, all of it., Mon 2 Apr 2012, 19:12, Reply)

175.
Unless I am reading it wrong.
(dozers, do fuck off ur a nob m8, Mon 2 Apr 2012, 19:16, Reply)

Only if you take the average, including people still growing and old gimmers who's shrunk.
You're short for your age, at the very least, unless you are 55 or over
( CQ Knows the truth, all of it., Mon 2 Apr 2012, 19:18, Reply)

175 is the mean for men.
and 'mean' is how most people define 'average'.
(dozers, do fuck off ur a nob m8, Mon 2 Apr 2012, 19:28, Reply)

And how tall is an average man your age Doze?
You know, one not waiting for that last growth spurt and who was born since the end of rationing?

Ahh fuck it, you are either deluding your self or arguing for the sake of it. I shall not get drawn (further) in.
( CQ Knows the truth, all of it., Mon 2 Apr 2012, 19:36, Reply)

I was born in 1872.

(dozers, do fuck off ur a nob m8, Mon 2 Apr 2012, 19:38, Reply)

If this is true, then you are indeed quite tall for your age.

What are you seriously going to do?

Type at me?

Wait, sorry Battered, I thought was aimed at me. I realise it was at CQ.

I retract that.
(dozers, do fuck off ur a nob m8, Mon 2 Apr 2012, 19:28, Reply)

And I will insist on a beer from CQ for his remark the next time i see him.
And you are shorter than me ha ha ha
( Fucking hell Jeff I am not a robot, Mon 2 Apr 2012, 19:31, Reply)

You are 5 foot 10?
EDIT:

I just saw your 5 foot 9 admission.

I actually don't know if I'm 5 foot 9 or less, I haven't had my heaight measured in years.

True, I don't remember you being particularly short.
True I can remember what the top of you head looks like, which is not true of Monty, but I am genuinely shocked that Dozer is a hobbit.

I donno whats wrong with being short.
I love it when my head is at boob-height of average women. It gets shit after that until you reach the height of her head being at around your weist height.

Aparently an average woman is 5'3"
well, 5'4"-5" actually but either way you're still not short enough for boob height.

Yup, pretty much spot on.
Maybe 5'8" if I got the right clothes on or I've let my hair grow a bit.

Surely Gonz is shorter?

Gonz is exempt. He make up for it in personality
He's genuinely not someone I think of a short

Exacto !
Height doesn't have much to do with stacture.

To be honest, I can't see how someone can get grumpy or insulted, even at jest, by their height. It just doesn't seem like something thats worth bothering about, its not like you can change it, and its not like anyone seriously cares.

Even if I was an actual dwarf, and especially after watching Game Of Thones, then I really wouldn't care.
