What is you reach?

Described here in a very short informational clip:
To measure the arm span, the person must be standing up against the wall with their arms extended sideways at a ninety degree angle. A person with a length measuring tool (usually a tape measure) will measure from one end of the tip of the finger to the other. This method can be easily done at home and it is not necessary to see a physician, unless for a checkup.
Reach is important in boxing/mixed martial arts,swimming,basketball and more importantly in getting a suit that fits properly!
Depending on the sport shorter or longer reach can be advantages, though it seems a vast majority of the time it *longer is better. Shorter is good for weightlifting and power lifting .... can't think of anything else off the top of my head :cringe:
My reach is 2 inches less than my height, hopefully I will meet a nice long limbed girl and have some balanced out kids 
Wait for the poll.
If it is more than 3 inches + or more than 4 inches less just go with the closest option.
P.S. in case you are wondering, my high school's boxing coach told us that statistically speaking the average persons height and reach are a plurality of the same.
P.S.S. Yes I know the metric conversion is not exact, but quite close - for simplicities sake.
* That's what she said.
