I just heard on Good Morning America that the average height of a man in in America is 5'9" and a female is 5'4".

So....I was wondering, are you above, below or about average??

At 5'7", I am above average!

Thanks, your daughter should be just about finished growing right? Or was it just me that stopped at about that age?:thinking:

Well, I hope she knocks out a few more inches...but if not....there is absolutely nothing wrong with being shorter "than the average bear" :rolleyes:

Well that puts me just right around the average height...but then again, most Asians are short in stature. I'm 5' 9". I know my parents are much shorter than the average. I think my brother is just as tall as I am.

She has been 5'2" since she was in 8th grade.....she has actually dropped from 108 lbs at the end of 8th grade to 95 lbs now.

Abe Lincoln was a tall man especially for his day and he was once asked by a reporter how long a man's legs should be. He replied:
"Just long enough to reach the ground."

These poll results are fairly amazing! Practically everyone that responded is Above Average (physically) and by quite a bit!

Hmmmm....maybe the short people just passed on this thread?:confused: :D

Ranger Mom

I think they are probably fairly accurate results.

Out of me, my husband and our 5 kids.

One is below average.

Two are about average

Four are above average

AP Panther Fan
10-28-2004, 03:19 PM
Wow...5 kids! To heck with their size, just their numbers are amazing enough to me!:D

And you are still completely sane. Incredible and I struggle with 3. Of course, I always have spares at my house.

Geez, just think 5 kids and then add the spares....you are to be admired!:D :D
