I'm 169cm and I'd say you need to be 179cm or up to look tall from my perspective and 5'11" looks quite tall. Try not to be biased by numbers, just trying to find out on average the difference required and mention your height as well.
Quote from: Infinity on November 11, 2020, 10:08:45 AMBeing tall can be looked into relative or absolute terms. Relative to you, your social circle or the country you live in, when it comes to this aspect its very individual depending upon your current height and the other factors i mentioned. This can also be a shifting target as your circumstances change.
Absolute is more universally accepted. so looking from absolute perspective tall starts from 175+ in Asia and 180-183+ in Europe/North America.
I'd say 5'10-5'11" onwards is tall in Asia, 6'0-6'1" in America and 6'1-6'2" in Europe
What I meant to ask was what does tall look like from your own eye ignoring other factors.
Quote from: Harmonica on November 12, 2020, 04:40:04 AMI thought you were 168cm?
Turns out I'm more like closer to 169cm midday height (or a comfortable 170cm out of bed or 168.3-168.7 cm at night)
Did I grow? I'm not sure. Could be that or measuring error, this is likely much more accurate because I used a stadiometer and spirit level to confirm.
Quote from: Iron_Man on November 11, 2020, 04:59:46 PMFor me, men from 182-183 cm seem tall (I'm 173). I think after the difference of 9-10 cm everyone starts to seem tall
Agreed, visually that seems to be the point
Quote from: Harmonica on November 12, 2020, 03:02:52 PMThe night height is your actual height.
Mm, no. Your "actual height" is what people see you as during the day, not the complete compressed version of you late at night after a long day. And even if we take my low I end up around 168.5 cm night height which still rounds to 169, I'm 169 for a much larger portion of the day.
The guy who runs celebheights.com said he'd list me at 5ft 6.5 with my stats which is 169 cm.
Virtually no physical examinations take late at late night, mostly earlier in the day, morning or afternoon, sometimes evening but never immediately out of bed. All heights you can measure are real but what you look like is what you are, if you're fine underreporting yourself relative to others that's up to you.
