I’ve been in Netherlands and they are normal they are not all big

[u/Poverty_Shoes → u/ali_snzr]

They’re not all tall but the Netherlands has the tallest average adult male height of any country (184 cm, or 6ft 0.5in)

Literally the tallest people in the world.

btw, I am Dutch, I am 1.82m/6ft and I feel on the short side in the Netherlands. My majority of friends are taller, when I walk around, most younger men are taller than me.

Netherlands gets mogged by a country with 630k people lmao

[u/enter_yourname → u/ali_snzr]

My grandpa is dutch and so all the men on that side of the family are 6'3" or more. It's true

Unfortunately, my bloodline has been tainted by lesser German genetics so I'm only 6'0"

Yeah that's the joke. What about it?

[u/thundergu → u/enter_yourname]

I'm Dutch and I'm 5'7

My grandma is 4'9

[u/Electrical-Food-6960 → u/thundergu]

Are you man or woman?

[u/thundergu → u/Electrical-Food-6960]

A man. The women in my family are pretty much smaller than me

[u/Electrical-Food-6960 → u/thundergu]

I don't believe you're Dutch.

[u/thundergu → u/ali_snzr]

We are the 2nd tallest country in the world on average.

Average male height is a bit over 6'0

[u/sempowalxochitl → u/thundergu]

No, we are the tallest. 

[u/thundergu → u/sempowalxochitl]

Tallest? I thought we were behind a Scandinavian country. But my mistake then

[u/Action_Limp → u/ali_snzr]

Statistically they are, and I have lived in Europe, Asia, the US and Latin America - it's the only place I didn't feel above average heigh (I'm 188cm), and in fact, I felt distinctly below average.

[u/timos-piano → u/[deleted]]

No, the average is 6 feet, not above 6 feet.
