Is it normal for women to ask "how tall are you?" Or "wow just how tall are you?" I am six foot one inches that dose not seem tall to me I have seen people taller then me.
Is it normal?
6"1 is fairly average, I would say, although slightly on the tall side.
I think some people seem taller or shorter than they actually are, for various reasons. Maybe you are one of those people.
I'm 6'2, 17 years old, and disrespect women, so I can't help you. I have a dolphin fetish.
Not sure why height matters to ones worth. You can be super tall and play on a national BB team, you can be short and a renown surgeon.
Or you could be average, yet sitting at home complaining how you are neither tall or short.
For the most part, the size of body parts and appendages are relative to the overall size of the body. Big people = big parts. It's not always true but mostly it is. They are inquiring on the potential size of a given appendage. Not if you want to be center on their basketball team.
Yeah that's a bit odd. Maybe they're subconsciously happy about it, dude. Women like tall guys; although your height isn't unusual it's in the "golden range". Maybe they're kind of like "ooh you're tall" in the same way you'd go "ooh you've got big eyes" to a girls who's eyes you like.
I assume you live in the USA, and according to the CDC, the average height of American men is currently 5'9". So you are above average, although the bell curve distribution means that guys your height aren't all that unusual. I just put your height into a percentile calculator, and it indicated that nearly one in ten American men is at least a little taller than you are.
I'm 6'4", and people regularly commented on my height when I was younger. I'm not sure why, but that seems to have become less common as the decades passed. It might be because I was born in the fifties, and the average adult height of people born after me has been creeping up.
I know being tall can be a pain in some ways, particularly if you're not the sort of person who likes to stand out in a crowd. But there are advantages to it: studies have consistently found that women find taller men more attractive simply due to their height. The hypothesis is that, at an instinctive level, women prefer mates who appear to be healthy since this means their offspring are more likely to be healthy. Being tall is instinctively interpreted as a sign of good general health and good nutrition in childhood. (This doesn't mean that the women consciously want to have the tall guy's babies; it's all on a subconscious level.)
Women possibly comment on your height because of some subconscious, "Wow, nice!" thing going on in their heads, but it could be just because it's a safe, complimentary conversation ice-breaker.
If you want to feel short, have a vacation in The Netherlands. The average height of Dutch men is very close to 6', and the average height of Dutch women is just over 5"6'. There are a lot of people of both sexes who are much taller than that.
My wife is Dutch, and the first time I visited her I suddenly understood how the people I'd encountered through my life must have felt when they saw me. Also, after a lifetime of relationships with women who were all nearly a foot shorter than me, I suddenly realised I found tall women alluring just because they were tall. So maybe that instinctive thing I mentioned earlier applies to at least some guys as well.
Yeah, low cost airlines in EU have so little legroom you can't even get your legs in normally. Gotta sttetch them on the isle or spread but what if next to you is another tall leggy person or the wall?
I avoid flying as much as possible, and lack of legroom is one of the reasons. When I do fly, I make sure I book early and get an exit seat.
On one of my transatlantic flights back when I was in the USN, I got stuck in a normal economy seat. This was in the late seventies, so they were cramped, but not quite as bad as these days. It was a night-time flight, and there was a family with a couple of kids in the row ahead of me. The parents wanted the kids to sleep, and the brat in the seat ahead of me decided she wanted her seat back. The moment I saw it move, I jammed my knees against the frame on either side and shoved it back upright. She whined to her daddy that she couldn't get her seat back, and he came over and started shoving on the top of the seat. I was jammed in so snugly that all he was doing was cramming my hips into the back of my seat. Since I had fairly well-developed butt and thigh muscles back in those days, it didn't take much effort for me to resist.
I guess because the lights had been dimmed and I was pretending complete indifference to what he was doing, he never realised what was going on. After a minute or so, he told the kid her seat was broken and she'd just have to sleep with it upright.
These days, I'd be sorely tempted to periodically jam my knee in the back of the seat to make sure the brat didn't get any sleep at all and she made the next day miserable for her obnoxious, entitled parents, but I was a nicer person back then.
Yeah you are tall by their standards. 6ft+ guys are tall.
Just be glad you arent in the -5'10" crowd.
They’re checking you’re over 6’0. I’m a 5’0 girl and I get guys (mainly creepy middle aged men) telling me that I’m a dainty little fairy that needs to be protected and other weird shit like that.
I bet you are a chunky hairy jobless man in your 30s, probably balding as well, idling all the time and wasting time sharing boring twisted fantasies here.
