No particularly good reason for this thread, just random curiosity. I’m 5’10", which is firmly in the average category in the US Midwest these days. Which means that I alternately feel really short…trying to see through the crowd at concerts…or really tall…like when I spent a few weeks in Malaysia for work.
5’10"! I used to be about 5’11", but I seem to have shrunk about an inch over the last few years. Making me the same height as my partner. Good thing I’m into tall women!
(I was briefly the tallest boy in my eighth grade class after a growth spurt. That was the last time I ever grew. Woops!)
So when I was in India for work I don’t recall interacting with anyone taller than I am. Not that they felt particularly short, just that most people topped out at 5’10”.
But there is one Indian guy at work who is easily 6’5”. It’s kind of incredible. Tallest person in the building almost, and not a single other person on my team is over 5’8” otherwise
