[Cutlass]

5'9" maybe 210 pounds.

 

[madviking]

i weighed myself at 187 lbs.

so i'm 187 cm and 187 lbs.

 

[Zelig]

18 dm, 77 kg, 10% bf, 120 systolic, 60 diastolic, 50 bpm resting.

Pretty much every male under 6'8" wouldn't mind an extra couple inches.

Nah, I'm happy with my height.

 

[Leifmk]

6'2" and 260lbs

Same ballpark as me. 190 cm = 6'2.5"; 115 kg = 253 lbs (although weight easily fluctuates a kg or two up or down).

And no, I absolutely wouldn't want to be any taller. Airplane seats and the like are cramped enough already.

Oh yes, and also:

Ooh. Fierce-looking Nordic guy.

 

[warpus]

I'm like 180cm and 190lbs or so.

Stupid mixed Canadian measurement system is confusing my inner metric.

 

[Arwon]

That's amusing since I think of myself in feet and inches but in kilograms.

Ditto...

 

[Borachio]

Yeah. I agree. I've no idea what my height is in metres. Though I'm guessing it lies in the range 0.10 to 10.0.

When I was getting my driver's license, it asked for my height in centimetres, but I only knew it in feet and inches. So I just ball-parked it. As a result, I'm 6 inches shorter on my driver's license than in actuality.

 

[GoodSarmatian]

1,85m and 90 kg, bmi on the low end of 'overweight'.
Moderately muscular with padding.

I know what it is because I remember it, but I haven't figured out what other people's measurements are in relation to mine. Obviously I know 175cm is 2cm taller than me, but I don't really have a feel for how tall that looks in reality. I know that it's roughly 5'9" though - and I know what 5'9" looks like in reality.

I also don't know what counts as "tall" or "short" in cm either. I know that 6' is "tall" and 5'6 is "short", but I don't know what tall or short is in cm. I'd have to work backwards: 6' is such-and-such centimeters, so that's what "tall" is in cm, etc. I couldn't say what is tall or short in cm directly. I suppose I should learn it really...

 

[Borachio]

You should if you think it might prove useful.

I've never found it so.

 

[Mise]

It'll be useful in 20 years' time when all the kids have grown up and don't know what inches are.

You know what else is weird? I measure furniture, room dimensions, etc, in metres, but TVs are still in inches. It would be useful to know how big my TV is in metres, if only to know whether it is appropriately sized for my living room...

 

[Borachio]

True.

Kitchen appliances are usually in cms, though. I think.

 

[dutchfire]

The inches in your TV screen are diagonal, your living room isn't.

 

[Borachio]

I beg your pardon? Parts of my living room are distinctly diagonal. For the most part, the diagonal lines joining opposite corners are diagonal.

 

[Cutlass]

True.

I sit 3 feet from the screen and have a 32" tv.

 

[GenMarshall]

5ft, 8in. I don't know my exact weight since it's been a long time since I've weighed myself. I'd guess roughly about 170lb.
