Other parts can be a factor. Some good, some bad.
I can't buy cloths, boots and shoes or even jewelry at regular stores. My wrists are so big, I can not wear ANY mens wrist watches. I've always had to mount the watch onto a custom made band. I have size 15 feet. I have to wear the tennis style shoes, so my feet aren't so heavy to pick up and double clutch. Also, when I wear my steeltoe Redwings...I have a hell of a time on most forklifts, or climbing around on my flatbed loads. Big hands too. Size 15 1/2 ring finger...but rather than a disadvantage, for the most part my manhandler hands are a huge plus. I can still do delicate stuff too. I play Satriani style guitar...although I had to learn to tiptoe above the 17th fret. But I have one hell of a stretch/reach...and can blaze off lagato's and do massive bends and hammer on/pull off's like no ones business. Wide shoulders...not easy getting between stuff. I usually have to climb over, or shove stuff aside. But the big bones are a plus for brute work. As a knuckle-dragger, I can also quickly convert to running on all fours, to chase down some of those fast as hell wimmin. :P

Six foot and size 12, and 210.
And, I don't have enough leg room either.

5-7 in barefeet
5-8 in my shoes 5-9 in my boots 180-ish which is funny, came out of high school at 5-8 and 120 and 9 years later I'm up to the 180's but my body physique has barely changed.

survey should say female and male then height
a more accurate survey would have male and female then height also? I am 5' 6" considered normal height for a female, but for a male it would be considered short.
