How to Guess How Tall a Man Is

Need to guess how tall a man is without a tape measure? These steps plus Height AI give you quick answers from across the room or through a photo.

Key takeaways

• Start with visual benchmarks like door knobs, chairs, and friends.
• Let Height AI turn those observations into an exact figure.
• Refine your skill over time by comparing guesses to the app's results.

Step-by-step: Guess a man's height

1. Observe him standing naturally, not leaning or crouching.
2. Compare his head and shoulders to nearby objects you know the size of.
3. Snap a quick photo (with permission) and load it into Height AI.
4. Use the app's estimate to validate or adjust your original guess.

Practice makes better guesses

• Keep a mental catalog of friends' heights to use as references.
• Pay attention to footwear—boots and thick soles add height.
• Check posture; slouching can make someone look shorter than they are.
