6'5", plus hair, if it decides it wants to point up today. Do I win?

In my head, you're all tiny. Tiny tiny tiny. Like my pinkie finger. You're so adorable.

But I am a towering giant of a being! I'm so tall I defy measurement! Rah, I tell you!

I'm 5'4 and lord henry wotton is 5'10. Don't we make a lovely height-couple?

Keggers, I was Brigade's first. Everyone will be measured against my huggle now!
 
 
Suedey! SHOT FOR MEAT!

Precisely the same height as Bed Head, I believe.

Strix, please ... I - I just can't handle this anymore ... god I wish I was two people so I could be huggled first by both of you ... (cries into sleeve)

Five feet and nine inches.
It would be more but I've just shaved my head.

one hundred and eighty three centimetres... do you do metric in the old dart yet?

(that would be six feet one and one half inches, unless i stand on tippy toes, where i can get to six three)

can't jump, though....

as the other brumaloids will testify I'm tall.

6' 5" at the last count which I believe is just shy of the two metre mark in your metric measurements.

and yes it is annoying finding trousers that fit and don't get me started on the problems finding shoe shops that stock my size...

Five foot three and a half, with straightened hair.

Taller than G-d with unstraightened, frizztastic wall o'hair.

6'. And a wee bit.

Let's call it a half-inch. 6'1/2"

Just under 6'2"

Did this stuff ever get compiled, Bed Head? Get yer graph pepper oot.

178 cm, which is a bummer because the girl I fell in love with, prefers men who are at least 180 cm tall.

I am a glorious 5ft 8in tall. That's at least an inch taller than the average Scot. About 2 inches shorter than the averave Sassenach or yank.

I spent a fabulous summer in Denmark as a boy, when I was a student, and all the men were so tall that every time I opened my eyes, I was crotch height with a Dane. Mmmmmmmm...

Triplets, dude, you know I bought myself some graph paper for this thing, but it all looked a bit dull when I drew it up. Maybe I should have insisted on centimetres and millimetres from the start, I think inches might be too big to make for a really interesting graph. Far too many people are 5'11''.

Hm. I’ll dig it out and see if I can’t spruce it up a bit, somehow. It’s still in this room somewhere.

Far too many people are 5'11'

I do most heartily concur.

I'm 4'11", or 150 cm, so I'm probably the shortest man on Barbelith.

Yay! *loomage*

5'8" pink dot.

Tall enough to join the police (if they still had a height restriction) and to be annoyingly taller and heavier than a lot of friends (male and female)*. Nothing like being made to feel like a heffalump in the company of your pixie-like mates.

*the towering Haus is a noble exception to this rule.

5' 8" as well. that's right, baby. five foot eight inches of unfettered, unrestrained, keto-dynamic karmic fabulousness. except when i'm channelling the drag queen, when i spire up to a whopping 6' 10" in stilettos.

. . .i blame the hallucinogenic properties of the english gubbmint.

(Convo is damn quiet today, so I’ll just quietly slip this in while no-one’s around...)

Accurate graph, mapping all the figures in this thread:



...and, God, too late do I remember just how fucking boring graphs are to do. So then I rounded all the half-inches up and did this as I had my coffee and elevensies:



'Scuse the biscuit crumbs. Anyway, that looks a teensy bit nicer, and you can colour it in yourself. And then I started trying to map it all onto a giant graph that would plot everyone's RL height against the number of posts to their suit, so we might see for the first time the overall SHAPE OF BARBELITH. But by that time my coffee had gone cold, so maybe, er, tomorrow.

Still. I’m sure we can all agree this has been a fascinating exercise so far. And in no way has it been any kind of displacement activity, slippery work-evading strategy, or anything useless like that. No, this is SCIENCE. And therefore automatically worthwhile.

Ariadne is the same height as the aunt I refer to as my "pocket aunt".

That side of the family are all Hobbits.

Second breakfasts, however, are a great invention.

5' 10". (pink.) And, Whisky P, speaking as one who has enjoyed the privilege of sharing dank and ethanol-laced meatspace with you, you could never, EVER feel hefty. Surely?
