Is 5'11" short??? I ask this because... ?

Question

my sister's new boyfriend (who is 5'5") upon seeing me (I'm about 5'11") looked up at me and said I looked short. I was like what the h**l? Has he ever looked at himself???

Question; Can 5'11" be considered as short? Have you ever been criticised by someone who has even less/is lacking even more?

Answer 1

5'11" is average, if not tall, for a guy. :)

Answer 4

nooo!! your perfect trust me, im like hafe your size. you are pretty tall and he is fine. alot of guys are that tall. he was probably joking around with you, because he knows how much shorter he is compared to you.

soo dont worry ;)

Answer 5

I'd say that about 6' is average for guys. 5'11" would be below average in my opinion, but not so much that I would label someone "short".

5'5" though...that's a dwarf.  

Answer 6

Of course not! Keep in mind that 5'11'' is almost 6'' tall, that's pretty tall.

Answer 7

he's just an a**. im 5'9" and im even considered tall at times.

Answer 8

NO WAY!

Im 5'10 and people tell me im tall. 5'9 and 5'10 are mostly the averages around the world so ignore that midget and tell him hes a hypocrite lol

You are fine, 5'11 is a tall average

6'1 would be tall and 5'5 would be short for a man

Answer 9

He was obviously joking and meaning the opposite.  You are probably average or alittle shorter than average (in the US).  

Answer 10

i would LOVE to be 5' 11" as a volleyball player but i am unfortunatley 5' 2" ya so i consider you VERY tall =]

Answer 11

he is jealous and has a small p***s. next time he talks to you tell him to speek up and lean into him and say that you couldn't hear him from up here.

Answer 12

lol no 5'11 is normal for a guy, he must be jealous of u or something lol=]

Answer 13

5ft 11" is tall he must ahve been joking. But it could be considered short to a 6ft4" man.

Answer 14

5'11 is a typically short height for a male...

Hope I answered your question well enough.

But the boy who criticized you had no room to talk,

he's a lot shorter than you----so he was just hating.

Answer 15

i think that's the tall side of medium!

that guy is clearly jealous lol or he was being sarcastic.

:]

Answer 16

Are you kidding me? 5'11 is deff not short lol my bf is around that height. I'm 5'2 which is short for a girl lol.

Answer 17

No thats pretty tall to me. Around average height for a guy i would say.

Answer 18

Thats tall maybe even a bit above average

For an adult, American male, 5'11" would be about average.

Answer 20

Nope thats tall. My Bf is only five foot 6.

Answer 21

Answer 23

Answer 24

5'11" is not short at all.  Maybe he though he was being funny, but failed.

Answer 26

no 5'11 is not short, unless the person telling you is a giant
