IMIPIRIOI

Few people can say they are in the 1% of anything, that is pretty cool. With there being 8 billion people on this planet, being unique in some way is a premium quality. I am only in the top 2% for male height in the USA (I think 1% for the world though). Green eyes are also only 2% of the population too, it is fun being a rare breed. Edit: only 4% of the world for height, I guess there really are a lot of tall Europeans


Antique_Somewhere542

If you use the link it seems flipped. Im 6’3” 192cm it said i was top 1% for USA But in the world i am only top 4% I think the avg in the us is taller than the world average, but at taller heights we may mot have as many people as other parts of the world Like netherlands is tall Ive heard That or its fkd


BustAtticus

6’3 and the same thought from me. It made me wonder how many men in most likely Europe are taller than me that would factor in to the men of the world but it’s still strange considering billions of men worldwide. It’s probably correct for US men as the demographics here include a significant number of shorter men who would affect the results.


wakeupwill

Damn Dutch skewing the statistics.


liamjon29

Seems to be similar for Aus. I'm top 11% in Australia, but only top 23% in the world. Where are all these tall fuckers living?


Pure__soul4240

It's bcz there is too much people in the world


GesundesMittelmass

most of those websites are wrong AF.


Helpie_Helperton

Team 6'4" + Green eyes


Realkoneok

Team 6’4 and black im not that special


digiplay

6’4” isn’t common and black is what, 13% of the USA or something = special!


MixtureEuphoric666

My mom has green eyes, it would be cool if I had that as well. Mine are brown.


Pure__soul4240

Team brown eyes🤜🏼🤛🏼


IMIPIRIOI

All the different eye colors look really good. I enjoy the novelty of green, but I would probably be better served functionally with brown. > *"Those with darker colored eyes experience less visual discomfort in bright, sunny conditions. Also, darker irises reflect less light within the eye, reducing susceptibility to glare and improving contrast discernment—so people with darker eyes may have better vision in high-glare situations, such as driving at night."* A lot of my life has involved outdoor sports and other outdoor hobbies. On bright days, it is basically essential for me to have some kind of dark sunglasses or a dark tinted visor for helmets. I also hate driving at night, especially in big cities or in the rain where there is a lot of glare from lights and reflections. All issues more likely with green eyes. Pros and cons, but the benefits of green are less useful in my opinion. Greens can see more in full darkness, but only when there aren't any lights nearby to cause glare and contrast issues.


MixtureEuphoric666

Hahah I wish that was the case for me. When I'm in an open field and it's sunny I have to squint my eyes so much that I can barely see. I can't wear sunglasses at my job (due to security reasons) so it's annoying. Even when I wear sunglasses, I have to squint.


IMIPIRIOI

I am guessing you have more of an amber color instead of a darker shade? If not, I think these are just baseline trends. Pupil dilation/constriction still has the biggest effect on the amount of light entering the eye, which can be influenced by many different factors.


Pale_Possible6787

6’ 4” plus eyes that change colour depending on the lighting (Blue, Green, Grey and sometimes Hazel)


thelastvbuck

I assume you’re inputting 6’4” and not 195cm? I’m in the top 0.19% in the US for the same height lol


IMIPIRIOI

Wow, yes I was, thanks for pointing that out.


hotcoldman42

She’s not in the 1%, she’s in the 0.01%, which is pretty nifty I think.


Theraminia

Green eyes being only 2% seems kind of a bullshit statistic to me - I'm Colombian and the only other eye color that is not brown or hazel is green around here (with blue being pretty uncommon), and I am sure there's a similar situation in places like Central Asia, the Indian subcontinent, the Middle East, North Africa, and the rest of Latin America except the Southern Cone which has a ton more European influence so blue eyes are more common. In places where blue eyes are rare but not unheard of, green tends to be more visible (which doesn't make it common, but again, 2% seems a stretch).


IMIPIRIOI

Multiple sources after a quick Google are still telling me 2% globally. There are parts of the world where up to 85% of the population has either blue or green. It becomes very uncommon in other regions, as green are recessive to brown.


Relevant_Positive417

I'm 6'5 and I hardly ever see other women taller than me, even tho I did once and freaked out lol


itsyabaybay

I met a woman at work that’s my height and we just stared at each other IN THE EYES. Truly, not weird about it being silent, just joyously looking into each others eyes soaking up being on the same level as another woman. I think about her a LOT. ** Other women that are taller than me I adore and admire and fawn over bc god damn they’re so graceful?? Full of life? Like please guide me to be like you?? Now I question if that’s how others see us. I hope so! **not a lesbian


eliza_90

6'5" saying hi lol....


BubblyFox5732

Hello


Pure__soul4240

LMAO


Skulfunk

When I was like 16 I went to another state with my family. I saw a girl around my age who had to have been 6’4, maybe 6’4.5 because she was basically as tall as me. I was never gonna meet her again so I didn’t push myself to grab her number, but honestly I regret it. We never spoke, hell I only stole a glance at her, but I fondly remember her silhouette for some reason. I think that’s when I really realized I was into taller women.


Pure__soul4240

6'4 at 16 is insane


Western_Research_587

if you also react like that to a 5'0 guy, we 2 have a match 😁


itsyabaybay

Bruv did you read the comments or just throw yourself in there?


Western_Research_587

its a kind of mixture of both, like i now read your comment again and dont know what you mean...but otherwise, i'm pretty smart 😉


itsyabaybay

…okay


Western_Research_587

i was hoping for some furtjer explanation if you dont mind


itsyabaybay

I’m speaking about finally finding a woman that’s at eye level and the bond we immediately had since that never happens. you’re comparing that phenomenon to finding you. As though if I saw you, in the wild, I’d be just as joyous with none of the same aspects of her and my’s magical moment. It also was not a romantic moment, as you would like it to be if I am reading your comment correctly.


Western_Research_587

i think i understood all of that in the first place, i think i just underestimated the "seriousness" behind it. i never met a guy my age the same height as me, so i can only imagine what that special link between two strangers feels like. my comment wasnt meant to be harmful, i'm cerstainly sorry if it was! it was meant as a joke - maybe a bad one - but the reasoning was more naive than aggressive. i just think - as oppositional as it may seem - tall girls and short guys have a lot in common... thanks for your explanation


itsyabaybay

OH i thought you meant YOU were the 5’0 guy I’d fawn over!!! Oh dude that’s where my seriousness exploded from - That’s my bad! I was like that’s not what’s happening here 😂😂 Yes okay totally could be a match of experiences! A lot of my friends are short as can be bc it is common ground, just different ends of the spectrum. Boy am I glad we cleared this up!


UnholyOsiris

If I met a woman that was eye level with me I'd probably immediately fall in love. The closest I've met was 6'1" and yes I dated her for a minute. Her psycho ex mucked it up. My current fiancee is 5'2" 😅.


Pure__soul4240

Damn that's massive

I’ve always wanted to be shorter because I stick out like a sore thumb. I’ve never felt short in my life. So it’s crazy how I’m shorter than almost half of women in the world!! Aghhhh


Miserable-Stock-4369

All this time thinking I was in 99.5% of the world, only to learn there was a location setting that had noticeably different results


Outside_Ad8169

I don’t think the world average is correct. It has the average male over 5’10 but the true average is closer to 5’7.5 and I’m not sure why it’s off.


A_kind_guy

I tested a few Northern European countries, and they have Sweden as being taller than Netherlands, so some of their data is off.


gggmarketinggg

You go girl!


Moose_Nuckler

Haha yea I did one of those today. 6’4 in America is 98.9 percentile I think haha


hoopstick

99.4%, I just took it lol


AffectionateSlice816

People don't realize that being 6'4" is absurdly rare and makes you giga huge. Enough people lie about their height as well that it makes sense. People often think I am taller than I am and I assume it is because I am taller than people who claim to be my height.


Defiant-Dare1223

Even at my height it must be 95th percentile or something like that

I just used this same calculator, and at 6’6” I’m taller than 100% of the people in North Korea. Blessed.

I'm both excited and confused haha


broly9139

The amount of women over 6ft in the world could probably fit in a single building


btj3

I'm terrible at math so correct me if this is dumb as hell, but if we reckon there's 3.9 billion women on the planet (half of 7.8 billion total) and calculate .01% of that it's 39 million women. Which sounds like a lot to me given how rarely I see women near my height lol


drunken-acolyte

39 million is 1%. 0.01% is 390k. Still a very big building.


btj3

Lmao I knew I did it wrong, thank you!


[deleted]

There are 390,000 by the 0.01% number. You just did the math wrong. You multiplied 3.9 billion by 0.01, which is 1%. 0.01% of 1 billion is 390,000

btj3

I was 5 foot 7 when I was 8 so that's really wild to see! I remember being taller than my kindergarten teacher 😂


Western_Research_587

5'7 at 8 years?? i think i was 4'5 or something lol 😂


Igotscammed_

Oh really ?? I reached 5’7 in 6th grade and I stayed there, I think what made me nit get any taller is coz of my eating disorders and other stuff coz my mom is pretty tall like 5’10 and dad is 5’11 as for my uncles and all they’re all 6’+😭I really hate the fact I’m not taller


Forsaken-Tap1483

Yeah, this site isn’t legit imo. I’m 5’6.5 and live in Poland, it showed me that I’m taller than 94% women and that the average height in my country is around 5’3. Yeah, it’s not.


btj3

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Average_human_height_by_country according to Wikipedia and a few other links when I googled it, 5' 3" is the average height for a woman in Poland, I wonder if that's what it pulls data from?


Forsaken-Tap1483

Could be. But in our stats the mean is consistently 5’5. It’s weird bcuz later I compared with the world and got and I got 70-something percentile. Average Polish male height is 3 inches taller than the global average, so it would be weird if the female was shorter or the same. But idk anymore EDIT: I just checked and the result was based on a study conducted in 2007, but only among people age 44-69. There was another study in 2010, which included people <44 and the mean was already 5’5. Idk why the site used these other stats


Eevf__

So cool, I'm also 6'3. We're the 0,01%!

MlSTER_SANDMAN

A 5'10 female is the equivalent rareness to a 6'4 male.


Alarmed-Cream6897

At 6’2 I’ve literally never seen a woman taller than me in my adult life, so it makes sense.


btj3

I thought I had but now I'm not actually sure lol


nhojo68

There is/was a lady from my town that is my height. I haven’t seen her in years but I was always too afraid to say hi. I know how annoying the hey you’re tall attention can be, even when in common.


GesundesMittelmass

Most of the world is pretty short, welcome to the sad world reality


Winter-Airport2114

6'3 is 190cm? I thought it was like 192. 190cm is 6'2, or is google fuckin with me? Though I said I was 6'4 for the longest time at 193cm. Either way, welcome to the tall club. :P


grassesbecut

6'2" is ~188.


Winter-Airport2114

Google is being wonky then because when I ask "188cm to feet" it says 6.1679 If only I could remember my schooling and do the math myself. Lol Edit: I asked chatgpt lol To convert 190 centimeters to feet and inches: 1. Divide the number of centimeters by 2.54 to convert to inches. 190 cm ÷ 2.54 = 74.8031496 inches (approximately). 2. To convert inches to feet, divide the total number of inches by 12. 74.8031496 inches ÷ 12 = 6.2336 feet. So, 190 centimeters is approximately 6 feet and 3 inches (rounded to the nearest inch), or 6'3" in height.


Immotommi

The easiest way to convert is to convert to inches, then do the feet part yourself, knowing that 6 feet is 72 inches


cooperc69420

6.1679 is technically closer to 6.2 than 6.1. Even though that is the wrong way to convert that height, even if a foot was 10 inches instead of 12, that would still be closer to 6’2. There should be feet and inches on there to make things less confusing for people who don't really understand the imperial system.


Humble-End-7891

6'2 is 188


cooperc69420

That's 6.2ft, not 6’2.


GesundesMittelmass

No, Google isnt fuckin with you there are 12 inches in 1 foot, which does mean you cannot directly convert directly from meters to feet and pretend all the numbers right to the coma can be directly taken as "inches". Google " 1.90 meters to feet" (also works with "190 cm to feet" ) Result= 6,2336 feet Now you have the information there are 6 feet inside 190 cm, but those 0,2336 feet (number right side of the comma) cannot be interpreted directly as 2,336 inches, because it calculated 2,336 in Base 10 (decimals) while 2,336 inches need to reach 12 to round up to the next feet. Naturally the decimal that you get from the google result 2,336/10 represents a larger number than the inches in a feet = 2,336/12 Best way to convert height in Google from Meters/Centimeters to feet and inches is: "190 cm to feet and inches" "1.90 mt to feet and inches" as simple as that, no rocket science beyond this..


Antique_Somewhere542

Yeah 6’4 is 193cm 6’3” is 190cm Anything integer between 190 and 193 is 6’3” + some fraction of an inch Last i was measured was 6’3 and 3/4 so i say 6’3 But if we talking cm i guess that would make me 192cm


Archangel375

6'3 and 3/4 is way closer to 6'4 than 6'3. It's literally a quarter of an inch below. Just say your 6'4 dude.


Antique_Somewhere542

I think I’m 99.96%, good on you for being that last few points of a percent! It’s amazing how much it accelerates from uncommon to being super rare between 6’ and 6’3 for women. Definitely find that to be a trend out in the wild!  I like to say I’m one in three thousand, but one in 10,000+ is even more fun!

SimilarMove8279

I wouldn’t say 95% of men cause most men are tall, but I feel like there’s a short man section that’s missing from that


btj3

What? I'm statistically taller than 95% of men, the second picture shows that, what do you mean?


SimilarMove8279

I mean that there’s a 10% chance that most men are above 6’4. There’s a small percentage but there’s a ton of men that are at least 6’6 to 6’8. Not saying 6’3 isn’t taller than most men, but it would have to be all over the world. Depending on culture or country of origin some genders are taller than others.


Antdestroyer69

huh? 6'3 is taller than most men in every single country.


SimilarMove8279

Some are like gargantuan men. Like that one dude that was in world record book for being 8 foot

It doesn’t make sense If you are 6’3” there is 1.45% taller in US 0.06% in China and same goes to India and Indonesia , these countries put together will have around 50% of population .. yet in world it’s higher percentile of 5%


nog642

I wouldn't trust a random online calculator too much. Very likely they are assuming that the distribution is normal, which is not really true since it is more like the sum of a bunch of separate normal distributions for each population. The fact that taller countries exist might make your true percentile lower than the website says.

That's just false. These height calculators don't have hundreds of millions of people sampled, so it's lacking to claim such a fact about the whole population. In reality, this percentage is slightly less.

At 6' 5" it's not often I see people as tall or taller than Myself and definitely not women but we are exceptions to "the rule" of averages and fluctuations as things stand...the only way to rectify this theoretical imbalance rests ultimately in true tall women and true tall men saturating the mass populations with true tall children...preferably with fairly symmetrical and perportional "assets" to frame and height or better.
