I really dont get it... I mean, I rarely see people this tall (And I have met people from around the world). Mostly I see guys 175-180/1 range).
 
I have seen only two or three 185+ guys in my life.

At university I lived with two 6ft people, one 6'4 and one 6'6... Two of my close friends from where I grew up are 6'2...

I am in a class of 360 people. There was only one who was 190cm tall.
 I really think that people exaggerate the heights....

A lot of people exaggerate their height. Being over 185 is very tall, but it's not a once in a blue moon thing! I will see someone who is 190 everyday on the tube to work, same way I'll see someone who's 160.

Dont know man.. I mostly see people at the 175-180 range... Even when I go out clubbing... I dont reckon seeing somoene who is 190 more than once or twice... I only one time saw a 200 guy. I take the bus everyday.... I know that these guys exist... But I think that people here really really REALLY exaggerate on their quantity...

Most people are in the 175-180 range. But there's an absolute ton of people at either side of that. Of course, I live in London where there's an absolute ton of people, so see wider sample daily.

I am friends with a 6'5 guy, and my cousin is 6'7.

But yeah, I agree the average is correct at 5'10

My business partner is 6', and he is not much taller than me when I am in boots. That's why I wanna be 5'9-5'10, because 80%+ of men would be within 2" of me either way. (shorter or taller)

I think it has to do with your starting height of 166. I am 171.. I believe that at my height I can really see that there arent so many super tall dudes as this forum and the other one are trying to say that there are... I have my "club shoes" which make me 175 tall. With them I feel at the low end of average actually. And once I am 175 tall, some people that I thought were maybe 185+ actually turned out to be much much shorter.

Don't be a condescending prick. Statistically around one in every ten adult males (UK) are over 185... That backs up what I see.

I not being a prick. When I wear the shoes that give me a 4cm boost, people around me look much much shorter. Again, I rarely see anyone at 185 or above. And this is why I dont get it why everyone want to be 6' or more so much...
