I'm only 5 foot 5, and I always where I reach on a man 6 foot 5. Would I be just at shoulder level? What are your methods of estimating someone's height?

Well, I guess it's hard because people are longer in different areas, but for reference, im 6'8" and this is where you'd be against me..

It doesn't always work because of the variation in body frames, but usually a good break down would be something like this: a man a foot shorter than another comes up to the taller one's shoulders. Two foot shorter - just under the chest. Three feet shorter - at the true waist line ( couple inches above the belly button). Four feet shorter - the crotch. and then it begins to get slightly skewed due to the height and size of one or the other. If talking a giant man then five feet taller about half way down the thigh, six feet taller three fourths down the thigh...

i know that my eyelevel is about 1,98 meters or 6'6'' barefoot, so i if people are shorter than me i estimate how long the top of their heads is from my eye level. and if im in doubt whos taller, i look at peoples eyes, if im looking up or down. but thats only somthing i have to do rarely like once or twice a year. and in the odd case of somebody being obviously taller than me, i know a guy who is 7'3'' and i can pretty much remember how tall he is compared to me, i just compare the "new" tall guy to my memory of his height. :) i have made an art out of estimating peoples height. ;)

I was just about eye level with her Breasts...
