What is too tall?

Other video games, TV shows, movies, general chit-chat...this is an all-purpose off-topic board where you can talk about anything that doesn't have its own dedicated section.

I think about 6'11 and over is too tall. The doctor said Im supposed to be 6'9" so I have no idea if that is too tall.

I think no one under 6'11" should be considered "very tall". But I see people above 6'3" everyday so I think that conditioned my opinion. I had a basketball teammate that is 15 and is 6'9", and he's still growing, so he's got signed by AJ Milano.
Being tall is so fucking cool, I wish I'd have the oportunity to be taller than most of the people, in the future. And...personally I think most of the people would rather be 7'1" than 5'1".

Well im turning 14 in a couple of weeks and I am 5'11. I am one of the tallest in my class and no on eever said im to tall unless it was a short person.But, I dont care really about size. Unless the guy/girl is like 7'0 foot and doesnt play ball, then its just kinda freaky. :lol:

Joe, I would definately rather be 5'1 lol. I cant imagine being a 7'1 giant. :lol:

Same reaction: no way. :roll:

Those high heels debiler posted are rediculous, I bet your sister wears shoes of about half the height max. And those on the picture probably don't even make you 4 inches taller.

Holy mother of Christ! Aren't you 15 or something like that? I mean, if you're supposed to be 6'9" then now you must be something like 6'4" or something.

I don't see how people are saying 6'3" is the average height. I know maybe like 20 people personally that are over that height. Most of the people I know are between 5'9" and 6'2".

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Average_height

Most countries' average height is between 5'9" and 5'11".

Australia's is 5'10".

I'm exactly the average Korean height :shock: .
