How Long is your...
body

Use the poll to vote for your height. Round to the nearest inch

If you are some weird country that uses that new-fangled metric system use this link for conversions.

http://convert.french-property.co.uk/

As a side note, are women really attracted to short guys? I'm not really short, I used to be average height. But I think the average height for americans has risen. Americans are becoming huge.

I heard that taller men get married earlier then the shorter variety. Apparently height is a desirable factor.

What I find disturbing is that I seem to be shrinking. 15-years ago, in my mid-20's, I was just a hair (or, more accurately, a quarter-inch) under 6' tall; now, at 40, I appear to be 5'10.5" (which I'm rounding UP, dammit). I have no explanation for this.

Its a well known fact that folks become shorter as they get older. Something to do with cartilage in the spine becoming less springy as you get older I believe. A couple of inches (5 cm) seems to be average.

6' 3 inch. I hate this "imperial" system.

I'm considered a tall man here where I live. It helps with the girls, believe me.

Same here.

Well, not dead on, actually, but that's as close as I got.

(This @£$§^?!# stupid "imperial" system is inaccurate! )

Yeah, but it's cooler than metric.

I'm between 5'6" and 5'7" probably closer to the former, so that's what I voted.

How stupid must a system be if you can't even exactly tell how tall you are, and you have to chose between the two most close values

Viking Berserk,

The version I heard is "You do not win a war by dying for your country, you do so by making the other side die for his."
