six foot

Above average stature

Six foot is a measurement of height equal to six feet (about 183 centimeters), used as a compound adjective: a six-foot fence, he's six foot tall.

The singular "foot" rather than "feet" is standard when the measurement modifies a noun or follows a linking verb.

Six foot carries cultural weight as a threshold for male height—dating profiles and casual conversation treat it as a benchmark: He's not six foot but he's close.
