Guest Posted November 7, 2000 Report Share Posted November 7, 2000 I am sorry but i just had to open this topic.I would like to know if anyone here knows the average height for an armenian male so i know where i stand. Does anyone think that height is a sensitive issue in our society? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 7, 2000 Report Share Posted November 7, 2000 Just when we thought we had figured out every way to divide ourselves... Don't worry about. I'd say you're the tallest Alex around here. Oh, and the smallest Alex around here, too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 7, 2000 Report Share Posted November 7, 2000 Yes, you are both right. It doesn't matter an inch (excuse the pun) But I still like to know? Are we short or tall or both? My uncle's a great long string bean and my aunt and dad are short. By the way, open collars and silk shirts? Still popular? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 7, 2000 Report Share Posted November 7, 2000 I think we are average right? im 5'11 but i just wanted to know where that ranks i think silk shirts are still in style kazza oh by the way do girls in here prefer taller guys??just a thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 7, 2000 Report Share Posted November 7, 2000 Alex, I maybe beat you by a half-inch or inch on a good day, but otherwise I'm right there with ya. For some reason, I think Armenian men are short. But my cousins and uncles are all my height or taller. One of my great-grandfathers was 6'7" so maybe that's where it comes from. In terms of women, a man who is 5' 11" is A-OK. I once dated a girl that was my height--that was COOL.

Guest Posted November 8, 2000 Report Share Posted November 8, 2000 Alex, I am 5'10''. It is about the average height of the armenian male. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 8, 2000 Report Share Posted November 8, 2000 Height matters SOMETIMES, gentlemen, not always. Besides, I think Armenian women are used to resigning themselves to marrying a man who doesn't look all that great anyway (bald heads and pot bellies, anyone?...lol) But seriously, if I were considering talking to/dating/marrying/whatever a man, height would be one of the last issues I'd consider. How it all fits together is more important in terms of looks, I'd say (that's having dated guys 6'4" and 5'4" and in between...lol... don't ask) Above all, confidence in a man is absolutely mesmerizing!!

Guest Posted November 8, 2000 Report Share Posted November 8, 2000 id say that on the confidence issue im not too good on can someone define confidence? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 8, 2000 Report Share Posted November 8, 2000 Vay, Mike...lol It's now DSM-IV (what can I say, psychologists like to revise things just cuz they have nothing better to do...lol, joke) LOL, Mike, sorry to disappoint you, you don't have any identifiable disorder out of the DSM...lol...I know the symptoms of every single one, mostly because (just like the med students) I've tried convincing myself I have a disorder or two at different points in time...lol...no luck so far though...lol... and hey, if I'm normal, think how normal you must be...lol Oh, and it's Betty Friedan, if I'm not mistaken. I wrote a paper on her back on high school, not a very exciting woman, and ugly too!!! astvats im! Alex, re: confidence in a man...my definition It's in the way they walk (I don't mean the gangster walk, I mean something entirely different), enter a room, greet people, summon the waiter at the restaurant, it's in their smile, their manner of speech, their manner of dress, it's in their treatment of a woman, in their ability to show emotion and still be a "man"...I could go on and on, but those are just the outward signs of it, not the core of being confident. Psychologically speaking, it's all in your head, however. If you think you're confident, you'll act confident (you can't fake it). It's a little like those girls who starve themselves trying to get into those size 4 dresses, thinking that if they could only lose that last pound and a half they would look great. I laugh at them, sometimes to their face...lol. Anyway, the point is, you have to KNOW you look great, you have to KNOW you're confident for you to look great and be confident. How do you get there? Well, you could do what I do: be ****y and you'll come across as confident (joke, joke...lol). The best advice I have for you is the following: look around you, is there a man around you you absolutely admire and would love to be like (perhaps one that you know is confident or that people talk about as being confident)? Start emulating him, I don't think that's wrong or that it would detract from your individuality. Not at all, I think that's a perfectly good technique for getting ahead and developing the traits in yourself you find desirable. This wound up being longer than I intended lol Gayane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 8, 2000 Report Share Posted November 8, 2000 Im not sure what planet's Armenians some of you are talking about 5"10 is the average height of Armenian men? I don't think so. I have see very few Armenians, men or women that surpass 5"6. If they do, there is some Ruski or other odar in their family tree! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 8, 2000 Report Share Posted November 8, 2000 I'm not saying it's an average height for Armenian man but they are not as few as you say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 8, 2000 Report Share Posted November 8, 2000 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 8, 2000 Report Share Posted November 8, 2000 Alpha, How long ago did you graduate from 'SC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 9, 2000 Report Share Posted November 9, 2000 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
