6'4" ... which usually seems tall in meatspace, but maybe it's just about average in ATOT.

yes the average e-height is 6'4" on ATOT, in reality it's more like *gasp* the national average of 5'10"?

Heh, yeah..I thought it odd that so many people on here are apparently 6' tall, or taller.

Edit: Seems like everyone I run into is more around 5"10-11 or so.

Anyone else notice what an extremely tall group this is? Average male is only about 5'8" 5'9"... 6' seems to be average here, and last time I was average in height I was on a basketball court.

Most likely a bit of skewed data. A number of those who are more of the height-disadvantaged persuasion are less apt to respond, especially moreso if self conscience about said height-disadvantage.

That said, happen to be 6'1 myself (barefoot). Under the GreasyBurger system, approximately 6'5.

I'm second to last in height in my family. The guy in last place is about a half-inch shorter than I am.
