[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm 5' 8.5 and consider myself tall. But when I walk around I'm sure no one's thinking, "now there's a really tall woman" the way they would if a woman who is 6' or taller walks by. That's an outlier.[/quote] As someone explained up thread: you are taller than the median but only a couple standard deviations taller, so you are not an outlier but you are still on the taller side of the bell curve. Most women are shorter than you and only a very small number of women (who are outliers) are taller. Likewise, a woman who is 5'0" isn't going to catch stares for being super short but she's still shorter than most women and only a small number of women are shorter than she is.[/quote]
