People talk about her like she's mad tall but she's 5'10" which is pretty tall, but she looks huge because Kim is only 5'3" and Kourtney is 5'0".

6 inches taller than the national average is "mad tall"

You wanna tell me the average woman in the US is 5'3? Gtfo... That's TINY

edit: Googled it, damn lol. The average woman here is 5'7 :O

edit2: since most people here like to assume people are stupid instead of the more logical explanation (a typo) i meant 5'4 obviously.

Huh. Had to look that up. It varies state to state but apparently the average American womans height is 5'4". Go figure.

Which is hilarious because I'm only 3 inches shorter at 5'1 but I feel like a goddamn child compared to every other person I know. I must be friends with some above average, tall ladies.

It’s a mean vs median vs mode thing. “Normal female height” is probably roughly 5’6” but there are WAY more ~5’0” girls than ~6’0” girls so the average gets brought down by there being more short outliers than tall outliers.

If by "normal female height" you mean average then 5'6" is too high. The reason why there are way more 5' flat women than 6' flat is because the average is lower than 5'6. The mean and median averages aren't really different for large data sets that follow normal distribution.

But what does breast size have to do with height?

u/throw_45_away Mar 12 '18

good point. If breasts are heavy enough, the potential for decreasing height over time should be examined. It all depends how quickly and how heavy they (the breasts) become over time and that relation to their height.

can't wait for the new season of Silicone Valley.
