5'9"
Isn't it weird how it's okay to ask about height but not weight? I guess it's because we have less control over our height.
ETA: If I'm not mistaken, 5'9" is average for an adult North American male. I just thought I'd mention that since it seems every guy here is taller than me.

I think you mean, "bunch of agendas".
6'-something. I really thought the average height for males was 6' for a long time. It's really as low as 5'9", though? Pshhh.

I tend to think of the median height for guys being around 6' or a bit taller, where most guys were 6' or 6'1" or 2". I think almost every guy I know offline is 6'+.I really thought the average height for males was 6' for a long time. It's really as low as 5'9", though? Pshhh.

The book Blink has a lot of very interesting info on average height and also the prejudice towards taller men, especially in business (they earn more money than shorter men).
But yes, the average height for men is around 5'9" to 5'10" in the US and it varies by country. For women it is around 5'4".
Which I tell everyone who tells me that I'm short! I'm 5'4" (and 1/2!).

I'm about 5'8" or 5'9". Taller than average, on the books, but I never feel particularly tall.

And there will come a time, you'll see, with no more tears.
And love will not break your heart, but dismiss your fears.
Get over your hill and see what you find there,
With grace in your heart and flowers in your hair.

As I said, big bunch of giraffes (no zero, not agendas or ajendas).It certainly seems that pweb has taller than average boys and girls...
I'm 5'1 3/4" (Yes, I cling to those 3/4", thank you very much). But there was this AF recruiter I really liked; he measured me at 5'2".
Nomi, Ela, DP, and maybe Jan can continue being my Pweb friends. No one else, though.

Screw you all. 6' is still considered tall. 5'9" is average for a man, and 5'5" is average for a woman. I will not be made to feel short just because Pweb is home to a bunch of freaks, and even some of the women are my height or taller.I tend to think of the median height for guys being around 6' or a bit taller, where most guys were 6' or 6'1" or 2".

I'm 5'11", and I'm taller than most of my friends (females, obviously, but also males); though I would like a few more inches =)
