Word.

Sweet!

[–]DrShawshank6'5" | 195.6 cm 2 points3 points ago

mmhmmm!

[–]cirocinmycup6'5" 195 cm 3 points4 points ago

hell yeah

[–]Netcob6'5" | 195 cm 4 points5 points ago

I'll admit, I'm rounding up... (195 cm is 6'4" point something...)

[–]Tsoonami6'5" | 21 | Canada 2 points3 points ago

W00T

[–]RichardBehiel6'5" | Bacon 4 points5 points ago

Yes.

[–]cosmic_kid6'5" | 196 cm 1 point2 points ago

What is going on here? Don't tell me I'm late for another 6'5 Club meeting? And it certainly doesn't look like we are following Robert's Rules of Order.

[–]FuhQue6'5" | 63.50 attoParsecs 2 points3 points ago

I'm rounding down, so it makes it even.

[–]DidIGetThatRight6'5"/196cm @ 200 lbs (Ottawa, Canada) 4 points5 points ago

Booya!!

[–]sirchalls6'5" | Z cm 2 points3 points ago

6'5'' master race reporting for duty!

[–]walrus406'5" | 195.6 cm 0 points1 point ago

In.

[–]TracyMorganFreeman6'4"| 193 cm 0 points1 point ago

Well I'll make my own club-with blackjack, and hookers!

[–]Black_Ash_Heir6'2" | 188 cm 13 points14 points ago

How do you think I feel?

[–]davaca6'2" | 189 cm 15 points16 points ago

Tall enough with minimal tall-world-problems?

[–]Black_Ash_Heir6'2" | 188 cm 9 points10 points ago

Absolutely.

[–]yesukai6'2" | 188 cm 8 points9 points ago

Best height there is.

[–]Billism6'2" | 188 cm 7 points8 points ago

Fuck yea

[–]Tom_Z6'2" | 188 cm 5 points6 points ago

Party!

[–]TheEpicGhost6'2'' 6 points7 points ago

6'2'' Club! woohoo!

[–]am4zon6'3" | 191 cm 21 points22 points ago

[–]victorpeter6'5" 3 points4 points ago

Hi.

[–]victorpeter6'5" 4 points5 points ago

That was my best pickup line...

[–]panaz6'2" 188 cm 1 point2 points ago

Can I join this circlejerk :D

[–]zhiryst6'2" 0 points1 point ago

bring it in guys, group hug

[–]gropo6'2" | 1.87m | NYC 0 points1 point ago

Think about it.... We outnumber the pituitary freaks probably 2-to-1. Plus a lot of us have really long legs for our stature. We can kick.

[–]racken6'2" /r/tall manlet 0 points1 point ago

Yeah its where the parties at, we are still taller than most but can still walk through doors

[–]diablo_man6'2" | 188 cm 2 points3 points ago

Same as me I would assume.

on the other hand, people recognize me as tall everywhere I go, but i can also find pants and shoes that fit me.

[–]Black_Ash_Heir6'2" | 188 cm 1 point2 points ago

Pants are a bit difficult for me, since I have very long legs relative to my height. But the other advantages are still there.

[–]diablo_man6'2" | 188 cm 0 points1 point ago

i suppose im mostly torso, cause i wear 32x34 relaxed fit pants, pretty common.

[–]gropo6'2" | 1.87m | NYC 0 points1 point ago

That's average proportions. Going to high-end retailers and having to explain "no, really I wear a 36 inch inseam at 6'2" that's why I'm looking for this specific brand/model of expensive jeans" has gotten old.

[–]diablo_man6'2" | 188 cm 0 points1 point ago

I figured as much. You have an advantage though, long legs make motorcycle riding awesome, I can already ride just about any sportbike, dirtbike, etc i want without having to tippy toe.

[–]monathebeatnik6'2" | 188 cm | FL 0 points1 point ago

Probably the same way I feel.

[–]Black_Ash_Heir6'2" | 188 cm 1 point2 points ago

How you doin'?

[–]LogicalContusion6'7" | 201 cm 0 points1 point ago

Smoo <cough> ooth.

[–]Black_Ash_Heir6'2" | 188 cm 1 point2 points ago

Sorry, instinctive reaction to tall women.

[–]MartinH6'5" | 195 cm 6 points7 points ago

From what I remember of forum statistics a couple of months ago, you are pretty near the average here - or very slightly above?

[–]CaptainCard6'4" | 193 cm 2 points3 points ago

There is a huge hump at 6'4, 6'5 is slightly on the taller side of average here.

[–][deleted] ago

[–]CaptainCard6'4" | 193 cm 5 points6 points ago

It was the oddest feeling when I realized I'm average.

[–]jerschneid6'5" | 6'8" in heels 6 points7 points ago

That's why I wear heels.

[–]CaptainCard6'4" | 193 cm 5 points6 points ago

They're called boots when they're on men honey.

[–]goletaal6'5" | 195 cm 8 points9 points ago

Honey badger don't care.

[–]Crazy_G1raffe6'4" | 195 cm 0 points1 point ago

i don't like it :I

[–]CaptainCard6'4" | 193 cm 0 points1 point ago

Well you burst my bubble butt world so I don't care!

[–]Crazy_G1raffe6'4" | 195 cm 0 points1 point ago

serves you right!

[–]CaptainCard6'4" | 193 cm 0 points1 point ago

Are you just an insanely tall 6'4? Because I'm literally 6'4.1 so 193 but 195 cm is basically 6'5.

[–]Crazy_G1raffe6'4" | 195 cm 0 points1 point ago

i'm 6'4.5 lol.... i round down in 'murika

[–]CaptainCard6'4" | 193 cm 0 points1 point ago

Ah yea I did the same when I was passing through 6'3.

[–]goletaal6'5" | 195 cm 1 point2 points ago

I can be 6'6" if I let my hair grow out a little.

[–]akaxaka194cm | 6'4" 1 point2 points ago

Ladies, hear that? A huge hump at 6'4!

[–]herrjoe6'7" | 201cm 5 points6 points ago

As the tallest person to comment in this thread thus far:

SHORTARSES.

[–]EvilRay6'10" |208cm 6 points7 points ago

...

[–]herrjoe6'7" | 201cm 0 points1 point ago

Feck.

I shall pass the crown along upwards.

[–]ljones126'5" | 195 cm 6 points7 points ago

This is the exact emotion I was just going through!

[–]SkepticalExcitement6'3" | 190 cm 5 points6 points ago

[–]am4zon6'3" | 191 cm 13 points14 points ago

Hey, you're actually quite tall.

For a girl. <3

[–]WeWillFallTogether6'6" | 1.98 m 7 points8 points ago

How's the weather down there?

[–]MikeCharlieUniform6'2" 7 points8 points ago

Imagine how us guys down here at 6'2" and change feel. I strut around all big-man-on-campus, taller than virtually everyone I encounter... and then this. It's almost emasculating.

[–]POTATO_IN_MY_DINNER6'3" | 191cm 6 points7 points ago

Go to /r/short it's hilarious

[–]TylerMills6'0" 3 points4 points ago

I am welcome nowhere.

[–]POTATO_IN_MY_DINNER6'3" | 191cm 1 point2 points ago

go make a subreddit /r/tallinasia and move to asia. Sorted.

[–]Azhdarkho5'5" | /r/short Mod 0 points1 point ago

Why is it hilarious? Just curious.

[–]markjbell6'1" -5 points-4 points ago

That made me sick to see.

[–]monathebeatnik6'2" | 188 cm | FL 4 points5 points ago

pats on head

[–]provokedcarp6'7" | 201 cm Atlanta 1 point2 points ago

Seems like normal guys (5'8-6'1) don't mention my height much. It's tall guys that are shorter than me, or very short guys, that talk to me about it.

[–]Canadiangiraffe6'7" | 201 cm 0 points1 point ago

as someone who is pretty damn tall, its pretty crazy meeting someone taller then you are, like once in a life time kind of thing

[–]slimmtl0.0019999999999 km 0 points1 point ago

I hear there's a lot of very tall people in northern europe. It's like an IRL /r/tall

[–]Canadiangiraffe6'7" | 201 cm 0 points1 point ago

with lots and lots of hot tall blondes everywhere

[–]GGSkeletor6'8" | 203 cm 4 points5 points ago

You're not the tallest, however you are still very tall.

[–]goletaal6'5" | 195 cm 0 points1 point ago

Yep. That's why when I'm in public and I spot a fellow 6'5"+ individual, we share the look.

[–]youaretall6'8" | 203 cm 1 point2 points ago

i enjoy your username

[–]Bobxdd6'2" | 188 cm 1 point2 points ago

...6'5" isn't very tall now? Should I revoke my r/tall card? D':

[–]monathebeatnik6'2" | 188 cm | FL 2 points3 points ago

Not unless you grow some boobies. :)

[–]Bobxdd6'2" | 188 cm 4 points5 points ago

...oh, I should be good then.

[–]panaz6'2" 188 cm 1 point2 points ago

If only we could :(

[–]Ironic_Ali6'5" | 195.6 scenty metres 0 points1 point ago

I'd never leave the house.

[–]goninzo6'5" | 196 cm 2 points3 points ago

:hi5: for the 6' 5" club. It's the top end that cars tend to design for.

Unfortunately, I have the legs of a 6'8" person, so I can't fit in pretty much any car.

[–]Netcob6'5" | 195 cm 0 points1 point ago

Door frames are 200cm where I live. I'm glad I stopped at 195.

[–]relevantusername-I'm loads of cm, like more than 3 even 5 points6 points ago

Lol this is like a 150 IQ person joining Mensa and despairing over the amount of 160+ people.

[–]Billism6'2" | 188 cm 2 points3 points ago

6'5"? Nah. Now, I think us 6'2" people mostly just lurk here because we're too self conscious to post. Some people think we don't even belong here at all.

[–]diablo_man6'2" | 188 cm 3 points4 points ago

yeah me too. oh well, if you are 4 inches taller than average, are taller than most people you meet, and nail your head on all sorts of low hanging apparatus, then i think you belong here.

[–]Anglophiiile5'9": shorter than realized. 3 points4 points ago

Are y'all men or women in this thread? I'm 5'9" and used to think I was tall!

Edit: I'm a woman Edit2: my bad, I overlooked the 'flair' information on the side. Love that you're all so tall!

[–]SequenceofLetters5'9.5" | 177 cm 1 point2 points ago

I know that feel, bro. I feel downright short here.

[–]DyingBreed16'4" | 193cm 1 point2 points ago

Not enough 6'4" in here :(

[–]TracyMorganFreeman6'4"| 193 cm 1 point2 points ago

Normally I'd be /allmyfeels, but my experience in the military made me feel not nearly as tall.

Of course now everywhere I go I feel like I'm surrounded by ants.
