Post by: microman on June 14, 2015, 12:28:44 AM

Lets find people who are naturally 5-10cm taller than wingspan.

first video is here

seems some guy is 6.5cm taller than wingspan.

but surely if a girl would be that, would that mean if she is in high heels, would she look way off proportionally?

goes to show that wingspan doesnt matter too much.. the tallest guys ratio is pretty much exactly the same as mine and they look completely normal. you could almost say just by looking at them that his wingspan looks the biggest even tho its not..

Aren't they supposed to stand with their back to the wall? This way the wingspan 'increases' doesn't it? At least the numbers I got where higher this way, than with the back to the wall.
Edit:
I have a +9-10 wingspan but my arms aren't very long honestly. Shoulders have a large impact on the wingspan, so I guess this measurement isn't completely expressive.

shoulders dont vary too much.. its normally the arms that determine the winspan.. the tallest guy is broader than the shortest guy but has a shorter winspan

i don't Know hiM I just took a picture with my camera phone, goes to show people can be off naturally.

I will say it was really noticable though, i thought 'lol looKs liKe a 5 8 guy that did 6" LL'.

he was really tall though, so he wont need LL.
