Original caption

Turns out being 6ft tall is pretty rare in the U.S. Only around 14% of U.S. men aged 20 and over are 6 feet tall or taller, according to CDC data. The average adult American man stands at about 5 feet 9 inches - meaning the 6-foot mark puts you well above average. #height #viral #Science #study #men
