Year 12s: what will be the first way you research your future options? >>

Why do People who are 6'0" think they're tall?

I hear it all the time, they almost boast about being that tall even though it's bang average in this modern day. Rarely do I see men below 6'0", that's average height nowadays (inb4 but 5'10" is as our generation are clearly taller).

as of now - its above the average height.

You are right though, that it will become average, and then maybe below average in the future..

But as of right now, they are above the average height for a UK male, and are there for.. 'tall'

Whether they are tall for their age-range etc. is a different and more specific claim.. but as an overall statement including everyone.. they are tall.

Overall (including all adults) it's actually above the average... so technically it's tall. But I do expect that for males under 30, the average is nearer 6 ft haha. Actually the only males that have bragged about their height I know of are above like 6 ft 3.

But compared to my height, 6 ft is like a giant hahahaha
