In Japan, when are you considered tall ?

Did this song inspire you to create this thread?
Good song. Good meaning behind lyrics. I came.

Don't listen to Richman, he's just a 12-year-old that doesn't know what he's talking about.

Since 6 feet tall is the cultural "oh wow you're so taaallll xD" cutoff line in burger units (mostly due to it being a nice number to be a cutoff), it would stand to reason that non-burger unit users would have a similar cutoff line for "tall".

Which would be 180 cm (70.86 inches in burger units, so basically 5'11").

These are actually Imperial Units. Respect the Crown, peasant.

As for me, in my country (Germany) the average male is 179.9 cm tall while I am about 15 cm smaller. Physical disability stunted my growth. But at least I am not of average height. That would be boring, after all.
 
At 176 cm I'm right smack on the average for swedish men of my age group. My son (15 yrs) is rapidly overtaking me, though, and one of his schoolmates is already 183!
