    Average Height and Weight for Men and Women

    According to the Centers for Disease Control, the average American male is just under 5 foot 10 inches, weighing at 195 pounds and sporting a nearly 40 inch waist.

    Stop laughing, GG’s. The CDC says you're 5-4, 166 pounds with a 37.5 inch waist.

    So I’m the average height for a man, and the average weight for a woman! Where are you on the scale?

    I am the average height for a woman, but less in weight and a much smaller waist.
    All I ever wanted was to be a girl. Is that really asking too much?

    I am shrinking down to the women's average height (5-5 1/2 now based on my annual physical this week, down from a top height of 5-6 1/2), and way below average weight for a woman (139 per latest physical) with a so inch waist give or take a few fractions).

    I wonder where I fit in with the average foot size for women, which used to be around 7 1/2 based on the size of the sample shoe out of the box on the store shelves or tables. I am 8 1/2 male and from 8 1/2 to 9 1/2 female depending on the shoe style and brand.

    PS: Thanks Sarah, but you could have saved us some reading by not posting at all! LOL

    I am 5'6" (still waiting for my growth spurt . . . seriously my Mom told me it would happen when I was 13 and moms never lie) and weigh 155 lbs (30 inch waist). So I guess I am below average.

    Accorfing to the BMI charts I read I am on the low end of the spectrum for men and fitting in fairly comfortable in the ladies scale. I wont give out my weight because I always get yelled at when I do. But Im 5' 7"

    5'10" (was 5'12" about 20 years ago), 182# (was 212# about 4 years ago, still need to lose 20#) with a 34" waist (was 38" about 4 years ago).

    Same as Karren but 32' waist. I'm too lazy to do the corset thing.

    I just knew I was Karren's sister from another mother!

    Based on those guidelines, I'm taller than the average man, taller than the average woman, weigh less than the average of either and have a smaller waist too.

    I'm 5'8" tall and weigh 139 and have a 31" waist so by CDC standards I must be petite.

    So I’m the average height for a man, and the average weight for a woman! Where are you on the scale?
    Just goes to show you how fat we are. In 1970, average woman was also 5'4", but only weighed 140, while the average male was 5'10" and weighed 170. That's also up from 1930, woman 5'2, 115 and men 5'7", 135. Or at least, that's what I remember reading back in the 70's. So in 80 years, we've gotten a little taller, but much fatter. Good nutrition maxes out our height; big macs max out our waistlines!
    Me, I'm in the 99th percentile in height, as well as weight. Mensa says I'm also there in intelligence, but I usually feel stupid as a log, so I think as IQ's tests are made by people good at IQ tests, that's a lot of baloney. That's all I'll say.

    There's an addendum at post # 82 on that thread, too. It's about a ten minute read.
    Why don't we understand our desire to dress, behave and feel like a girl? Because from childhood, boys are told that the worst possible thing we can be, is a sissy. This feeling is so ingrained into our psyche, that we will suppress any thoughts that connect us to being or wanting to be feminine, even to the point of creating separate personalities to assign those female feelings into.

    Agree. The waist measurements seem odd.

    I am 6' 1", 185 lbs. Down from 195 lbs earlier this year. Trying to lose a little more. I am between a 33" and 34" waist. So that makes me above average on height and below average on weight. Before I got married 34 years ago I weighed 145 lbs. I was a stick. Now I wish I could get back to 175.

    You do realize many would be jealous of your size?
