At What Height Do You Consider Someone To Be Tall

What height do you consider tall for women?

Probably 5' 6" or more----can be considered tall for a woman.
At 5' 5", you are not considered short. You will add more inches in growth---well beyond 15.

Is a 1.68m tall (~5'6") man considered short in the US? At what height is a guy considered to be short?

“Short”, to some people, has to be at least one standard deviation below the average height. In the United States, the average height for men is 5′10″ (if white and under 30, otherwise 5′9.5″), so one standard deviation below that would be 5′7″. If going by data and statistics, 5′7″ and under is considered short for men in the US.However… if we go by society at large, who don’t give a damn about statistics, then anything below “average” (even in the slightest) would be considered short, by them. Assuming these people knew what the average was - 5′10″ or 5′9.5″ - then going by society at large, anything 5′9″ or less is considered short for men in the US by a LOT of people in society. Especially considering how women are commonly 5′10″ and above, nowadays.Furthermore, some people only care about how ‘tall’ someone is. (Mostly, other tall people.) And if you were defining it by whether or not someone was tall, then going by the elites in society and all tall people, anything 5′11″ and less for a man is not considered tall (i.e, short).Keep in mind, “short” and “tall” are always 100% subjective and the only statistical fact is the median height.

What height do you consider tall for a guy?

Poll: What height would be considered tall in the NBA?

Short: anything under 6'. Tall: anything above 6'6"

What height can be generally considered short?

Most people (around two thirds of the population) are within about three inches of the average height for their sex and ethnic group/nationality. That is the “average” range. If we extend that range out to about 5–6 inches (5 inches for females, 6 inches for males) from the average height, then just over 95% of the population will fall inside the range.So … if you are more than six inches below the average height for your sex and nationality, you could be considered “exceptionally short”. For an Australian adult male (me), the average height is about 175 cm (approximately 5′9″). Now six inches means that any adult Australian male under 5′3″ would be exceptionally short. And someone under 5′6″ would be moderately short.As I am 5′2″, this is just another way that I am exceptional.

What is considered tall for a woman?

That depends on what country you are comparing to.Women are considered short if below 5′3″.“Average” is anywhere from 5′4″-5′6″“Tall” is any woman over 5′7″.I'm in the 6′1″ “Amazon” catagory…lol I have never heard anyone say anything different than “you are tall”. To some, I'm a giant. I wear high heels, which makes me 6′5″ and have actually been told that “I have no business wearing high heels”. By complete strangers…lol. I think they escaped from The Lollipop Guild and were out to break some knees.. ;-)

Do you think someone who is 5ft. tall would be considered a midget?

First, you should know although midget and dwarf are often interchanged, according to the Little People of America,the term "midget" is considered a pejorative term (ie. offensive) to many of those who suffer from the condition called dwarfism. The acceptable terms are usually "dwarf" or "little person".


Second, Little People of America (LPA) defines dwarfism as a medical or genetic condition that usually results in an adult height of 4'10" or shorter, among both men and women, although in some cases a person with a dwarfing condition may be slightly taller than that but they are often far shorter than 4'2.
Dwarfism also consists of more than just being short in stature.


Welcome to the GWS club of short people. Rio and myself are also people who have a height of 5"0-5"1.



*Know It All, I don't personally define what is considered offensive or not, I simply gave the questioner an extra tidbit on information per the Little People of America website. I consider their opinion on what is offensive to them the most important.

**What height do you consider too tall for a 12 year old girl?

It doesn't matter much. Girls grow faster and earlier than guys. So you'll be taller earlier.

It depends with whom are you comparing him with ? A guy who is 6′1″ is :Not tall. Not even close.2. Tall. Enough.Depends on your perspective ;)
