Somalis are not very tall

[union]

Me thinks the average Somali male height is 5'7.
With less than 10% being 6ft or above.
Yay or nay?

[Estarix]

Most common height i would say is 5'9.

Ive notice a lot of Somalis who are 6 and above though.

Actually no
My father is 5'11
My 15 yr old brother is 6 ft
Im 5'9
my older brother is 5'10
my 1st cousin is 6'3
my inabti is 6ft 5

[AhmedBoqor]

Actually a good estimation would be 5'10''.

[DisplacedDiraac]

5'7? That is short.. Even Im taller than that.
All my brothers are 6'2 and above.. My oldest sister is 5'7 and my youngest sister is 5'9..

I would say its about 5'11 for males..

Meh, 5'7 through 5'9 sounds reasonable. But I disagree with a lot of Somalis being over 6ft. I am really good with gauging height, and most people who claim to be 6ft are damned liars and rounder uppers.

[Mondey]

absolutely u are right. i think the last generation was much taller than this one.

im now the same height as my father 6.1 but when he was my age he was taller.

i would give it 5.9 average

Those who grow up in Western nations probably had access to better nutrition. And by Somali standards, you come from a tall family.

So your younger sister is the same height as the average American man?


Most Somalis females are around 5'5.
it's a lot taller than it sounds.

[lilsaf]

I think thats not true most men i met or saw is 5'9 to 6'4 but in women they all 5'0-5'5 i think our women are short seriously

[Beenaale_No1]

I'd say for males its 5'11. Somalis are actually quite tall people. Even my Pakistani friends have asked why Somalis are so tall. Srs.

For females I'd hazard guess average height is 5'7

I think you people are really bad with gauging height. Only a small percentage of people are above 6ft.
The average world height for men is around 5'6.

This guy is obviously an anomaly. Most Somali men would stand at his belly button.
