What height is considered tall for a woman?

[RandoBloom]

Over 160.

[Caismeachd]

5'11" or taller I'd say.

[Insuperable]

Somewhere between 180-185 cm is a starting point to consider some woman tall.

[Furnace]

175cm+ is pretty tall, 170cm is average

[Pleurat]

175cm+

[Aurora]

I think 5'9 (175cm) and up is tall. Most women I know are 5' to 5'4 they say I am tall, but I am only 5'6 (167.5)

[Artek]

175cm, IMHO

Women are on average 10 to 15 centimeters (3.93 to 5.9 inches) shorter than men. Let's say that the average woman is 12.5 centimeters (4.9 inches) shorter than the average man. I'd consider any man >182 (roughly 6 foot) to be tall. Therefore, women 169.5 (a little short of 5'7 feet) could be considered tall.

The minimum model height and up.

5' 7" (170 cm) is the minimum height for a female runway model.

i'm exactly 1,73, tall or average, then??
Btw it depends where, in S. Italy even 1,68 is considered really tall for a woman (i know coz i have a friend of that height), while me (1,73) among Scandinavians i feel really average. Among german women i'm a bit tall though, 6-7 cm more than average (let alone fairy tales that germans are giants!)

[Hadouken]

173cm and over is tall for a woman (169 - 172cm is "tallish")

183cm and over is tall for a man ( 179 - 182cm is "tallish")

[justme]

Anything over 175cm is tall between 166cm to 174cm is average for a woman.

[MissProvocateur]

1,40 m is too tall for a woman.

[RandoBloom]

1,40 m is too tall for a woman.

I agree :)
140-155 is perfect height

I'm from Kosovo I'm only 166cm tall, and for me sometimes it depends sometimes I feel shorter amongst other Albanian girls but then I are some short ones and I feel taller, I think Albanians from village areas tend to be taller then those of city areas

No, 1,40 is too tall. 1,55 is almost like a man. women should be 1,30 or 1,35. :P

[alb0zfinest]

Well since Gheg highlanders are each at least 7 feet tall, the average for gheg highlander women is about 6'8. So anything over 6'8 is tall for a woman.

[RandoBloom]

Bah still to high :O
I think women will evolve in next few thousand years to be able to do certain things while standing :rolleyes:

It's not true... It depends in Kosovo I tend to see more shorter people in cities and taller people in villages. 170 for kosovo girls is average anything under 166cm is considered short.

Dutch are the tallest with the average height of men being 190cm tall.

[Roy]

175 cm but it depends from proportions. Of course many shorter may appear taller because of usage of this. :rolleyes:
I know exagerrated example.

No, really man, without trolling, gheg highlanders, or ghegs form northern albania, montenegro and kosovo are all tall here to very tall, this is not a myth.... however for a gheg girl to be considered tall, she needs to be over 175

I think the minimum height for models is that. Anything under will not be accepted.

[EDMONDI]

Girls are getting taller. Most girls I know are 5'6-5'8. I would say that a girl who is 5'9 and above would be considered tall, since it is said that a couple should have at least 4 inches in between them and so her partner would ideally have to be about 6'1 and above.

[iNird]

So tall that guy needs to stand on a chair when receiving a BJ.

:icon_eek:

Tallest woman I ever saw was in Kosovo.. And she was Albanian, I swear she was some giant working in a clothes shop... Tallest group of girls I ever saw were Dutch and another group I saw were Albanian from Ulcinj, Montenegro... Now I can't make out which group were taller the Albanian or the Dutch girls, but they were both very damn tall.

Tallest man I ever saw was in England, one was a Serb I think he was Serb... He said he was Yugoslavian... and another was English. and another one I saw was in Bosnia, and this was in Neum, who are majority Croatian tallest group of men I ever saw were Dutch who were visiting London.

I would put my long distance cousin on the list too as well.. Dunno how tall he is but at least 210cm - 215cm tall for sure! Cause my close cousin is at least 192cm and he comes just above his shoulder... He has another brother who is much taller the him.. Very tall, they both live in Kosovo.

For women 175+ is tall, 174- 166cm is average, 165 or below is short.
