I'm an average Asian male, 171cm. My growth spurt may not be off yet, though.

Another 5'6'' (1.68 m) male here.

6'8" here--Probably the largest black guy in North America who is an avid classical collector.  :D

And NO, I DON'T play basketball.  ::)

Isn't measuring up an infancy fixation...?

Wait until a thread called "the longest GMG member" comes up.

HIP for all and all for HIP! Harpsichord for Bach, fortepiano for Beethoven and pianoforte for Brahms!

Wow, not intending to offend, but I really haven't heard any African-americans listening to classical. Bravo.  :)

One would think they possess ears, a brain, and the capacity to use both, so why not?

Perhaps a portion do not possess especially deep pockets, true enough. But I think that also applies to many white people, asian people, etc.

Edit: Oh, my height? I'm not even sure. Probably around 1.75 though, more likely above, rather than below...

Jazz cats know all about classical. Well, a lot of them do anyway.

5'1½"... it wouldn't cost very much to produce a full scale model of me :P
there was someone shorter, who isn't posting right now: Philo, who was 5'. So you don't get the trophy for the shortest GMG member, unless you only include people who are currently posting.  :P

me neither, then again..... i've never known anyone who does



i'm only about 5'9 or 5'10".... my drivers license says 5'10" (they had to do a measurement), but when i measured myself, it was 5'9", i think. That's about average height, i've always wished i were exactly 6', though.

Haha I love that you said you don't play basketball. I am 6'4" (193cm) and people ask me all the time if I play basketball.

Daidalos

187 cm, so.... about 6'2"? 6'1,5"?

I'm what I believe we call 'average height' for a male in the UK: 5' 10".

I'm 6'5 if I comb my hair back like Elvis

I'd be around 7'7" if I'd comb my hair like Elvis (though that would look more like Johnny Bravo). Otherwise I'm 188 cm (6'2")

I used to be 6'2" but I've shrunk a bit in the past 30 years.
