You might have Googled it and found that the average male height is 5'9", but that number isn't very accurate. Let me explain why...
When they calculate these height averages, they include males aged 8 to 60, divided into 8 age groups (8-10, 11-14, 15-21, 22-25, 26-30, 31-40, 41-50, 51-60). They then take the average height from each group and combine them to get the overall average. You can look up the study if you don't believe me. Here are the average heights for each age group:
- 8-10: 4'5" (53 inches)
- 11-14: 5'5" (65 inches)
-15-21: 6'1" (73 inches) your competition
- 22-25: 6'3" (75 inches)
- 26-30: 6'3" (75 inches)
- 31-40: 6'0" (72 inches)
- 41-50: 5'10" (70 inches)
- 51-60: 5'8" (68 inches)
The average height of all age groups combined is 5'9" (69 inches)
