I'm not saying it's an average height for Armenian man but they are not as few as you say.

Half Breed jan I am pure Armenian, and I am 6'ft. And most of my friends are Armenian and they are from 5'10 to 6'2, so we can say we are pretty tall people.

Alpha, I am 5'10 and I tower over most of my Armenian relatives. When I am among Armenians I am usually the taller one in the crowd. I am by no means some Teutonic giant either. Among Anglos I am usually just average. Of course I am talking in tendencies. I have met tall Armenians. My mom's good friend is tall for anyone, woman, man, Armenian, she is 6'3! I am sure the average height is around 5'6 or 5'7. Am I the only one who sees this? What are you going to say next, that most Armenians are blond and blue eyed? LOL! Sure there are some, but we are talking about a majority. Does this mean Armenians are inferior if they are a little shorter? No way!

I said up above that for some reason, I think Armenian men are short. Just my family isn't and appartently, people around here aren't either. I searched earlier on the Net for "Armenian" & "height", but no luck (hey, you never know what you're going to find).

(Here, Steve) As a statistician, I have to say the sample we have here is not fully credible and therefore we cannot extrapolate our heights to the entire Armenian male population.

What can I say....
I am about 5'5 and I think it's OK for an Armenian girl
What I noticed is that Most of the Armenians are either very short or VERY tall!
Have you seen some of those SASUNCI guys???
They are giants!
There is no doubt about their "pure blood",Steve!
Armenia once was a very big country and people from different geographical regions looked different.
As far as I know, the oneS that lived in a valley (like araratian)used to be darker and shorter.And the once that lived in high mountains (like Sasoun)used to be lighter and taller.

Damn i would never have thought to get so many things on this subjetct
Well i have just one last question. I am almost 17 and 5'11 i wanted to know the age that males stop growing ( i heard 21-25) but im not sure. my desired height is 6'2 3 more inches some people predicted id be 6'1 because they are "experts" on this subject. but seriously though does anyone know when a male stops growing (average) i think it would be possible for me to reach that height i have a not so short aunt on my moms side and some her relatives are from 6'1- 6'8. her uncle is a football player somewhere in armenia i think.

Alex, I think it's 21, on average, that is..

Nvard jan, Sasuntsi guys rock, don't they... lol...I was filled with such pride when I read that...It's said in my family that my great-grandfather was so tall and so strong that he made a pillar in our ancestral home bend(!!!) by rubbing his back against it every so often...lol...so there we go, no argument about the undisputed height and strength of sasuntsi men here! (although their manners should be questioned given this story and given the temper of the men in my family...lol)

(and davit, i'll brag about my roots all i want, thank you very much!!!!...lol)

(by the way, we still have that land and that huge house, although i don't think anyone keeps it up anymore...any ideas about what we could do with it????) (talk about digressing...lol...sorry)

Its hard to figure out the average height of Armenians, but in general in comparison say to Rassians, Armenians are short. However in comparison to Asians, Armenians are tall. I think it depends on racial characteristics, so we Armenians in my opinion are average and similar to people of south Europe,and Caucasus.

OK,

Let me try to summarize the results.
Those of us who are tall believe that we are tall race. Those of us who are short think that we are average or above average.
My conclusion is that we are TALL,DARK AND HANDSOME!

btw MJ is 6.2!

Ay ay ay - Steve - where did you get that?

Ruski Muski? He he he...

Yes, you have seen very few tall Armenians - that is because you mainly deal with Iranian Armenians - and (no hard feelings) Iranian Armenians tend to be shorter on average. Not sure why.

For the record:

I think we are average as a race. I am 5'7" myself and think that's not bad for an armenian girl. I have mostly had a problem with guys being shorter than me not taller Which brings me to my next conclusion - most Armenian guys seems to be short. But I don't think this was always the case. What are you guys doing that stops you from growing????!!?!??!?!?!?! He he he ... Lav chi

During my last two visits to Armenia I noticed that the new generation girls are talle than the guys. While it used to be the opposite during the 70's and 80's, even the early 90's. Do you think it's the western influence? He he he ...

Sulamita jan, I have seen the whole gamut of Armenians, I assure you. Most of the Armenians I went to High School with were Lipanahays. I run into Hayastansis all the time, and I don't see much difference.
