How Tall Are We? : Othor Games

» Sat Jan 22, 2011 9:30 am

Either the average person is far larger than I estimated or going to a Bethesda Game Studios Convention would be a bad idea if I don't want to feel like a hobbit.

You're our hobbit mascot. Own it. Be proud of it

Just for a little side question from a worried wood elf, how much more can males grow if they have been 16 years old for about two months? :unsure:

quite a bit actually

depending on your genetic history you could get significantly taller. My grandfather was very short, only around 5 feet throughout high school, then at 18 he shot up to 6 feet (!)

I believe it goes that only girls stop growing taller at sixteen, boys stop growing taller around twenty or twenty one.

Well if you can use "ninja" as a verb, you can so totally use "Assassin's Creed" as a verb... :whistling:

Well in that case; practically all nouns can be used as verbs.

5'6'' short, male. I don't understand why, because my mom's 5'9" and my Dad is 6'3". I used to hold out hope that heredity would make me as tall as them, but since I'm 16 I'm increasingly worried that I'll be stuck where I am.

I will Fallout you! (I will Fall, while asking you Out!)

That, or "I will fall out of you.", i.e. "You'll give birth to me." :hehe:

You can't depend upon genes entirely. My dad's pretty tall, my grandfather was 5 '10 and my uncles were 5' 11 and 6 '1 respectively. I turned out to be 5 '8.. :shrug:

That, or "I will fall out of you.", i.e. "You'll give birth to me." :hehe:

That's disturbing...

5'9'', I think I'm taller than the average here in Portugal. We're the country with the shortest people in Europe :shrug:

Indeed, I have a friend who's 5 '6 and she says she's taller than most guys there...

Ah yes, another point came to my attention.

Number 1 Footballer in the World: Lionel Messi
Height: 5 '7

Short people rule!! :celebration:

» Sat Jan 22, 2011 12:13 pm

5'7 is not that short. It is slightly below average.

» Fri Jan 21, 2011 9:04 pm

5'7 is not that short. It is slightly below average.

It depends where on Earth you are. When I went to Holland, every other guy was 6'. In South America, people are rarely above 5 '10. In America average male height is 5 '8. In Portugal it's 5 '5. (IIRC, not 100% sure.)

Arguably greatest basketball player of all time: Michael Jordan
Height: 6'6''

Possibly greatest in the NBA at the moment: LeBron James (I stress the possibly)
Height: 6'8''

Shortest player currently active in the NBA: Earl Boykins
Height: 5'5''
Is he good: no.

:D

It's a sport geared for orangutans. What do you expect?

Im kidding, Im kidding! Don't crucify me! Atleast not yet..

Anyway, you proved my point by adding Michael Jordan into the list. Him along with Kobe Bryant (my personal favorite) are both 6 '6. If you watch a game, they usually stand out as the shorties. (Despite being huge people, outside the court). Most players are taller..

Honestly, I never thought height has anything to do with success.

Nor did I.
I also don't susbscribe to the notion that somehow, height predetermines your life's path.
Or that the taller one is, the better one is. Or the shorter. People just are.
I pretty much judge people on their personality and actions, not on heriditary characterisitcs no one has control over like height, weight, skin, hair or eye color.

That poll is catering to the short

6'6"

» Sat Jan 22, 2011 11:18 am

About 5' 9".

I'm short.

(Which is odd considering my dad is 6' 7"...But my mom is only 5' 5" -ish)

Short? I wish I was 5' 9''.

» Sat Jan 22, 2011 5:53 am

Well, in my area that's short. Most guys around here are at least 6' 0".

Most guys over here are in the 5'9" to 6'0" range. For a New Yorker, I'm really tall.

How tall are you, rmctagg09?
