6 ft is only a little bit above average.

If 6 inches is ‘a little bit’ then sure.

"Western" nations average 5'9" to 6', so yeah, Mandy (Inego) is about average height, like 2.5" taller than average for Spanish people.

[–] grue@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Average is 5'10". 6' is 2" above that, not 6".

[–] atomicbocks@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago (2 children)

You’re going to need to specify what demographic you’re talking about when you say average. The global average is 5‘6“.

Men in the U.S. (Mandy Patinkin is American, despite playing a Spaniard in that movie.)

The global average includes a bunch of Asian countries that are significantly shorter. Average in the west is taller than that.

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 month ago

That just depends on your geographical location and gender. He's not even above average where I come from, he's perfectly average. I feel pretty short at 5'10".

Your people are 0" tall?

@West_of_West@piefed.social lifted me up, @grue@lemmy.world brought me back down again.

Don't worry, you're well past the 75th percentile and near the 95th worldwide, you're plenty tall.

The army put me at 6'4 20 years ago, barefoot. My last Drs appointment said I was 6'3 while wearing New balance with a fat cushy sole.
