I plead you all to critically think when looking at studies of average height online, for example I was shocked when this study claimed the average height for Germans in Hamburg is 183 cm which is taller than the average dutch. But reading the methodolgy closely you can see that it's a very innacurate study because they used survey's to ask men their height most men nowadays lie or dont know their height and add 2 inches to their height

Article is in german but you can translate it


I've seen other studies like the dinaric alps study that actually added over 2 cm to their average for their "estimations" making men 185cm which is another false number

Likewise  any dutch study you see claiming 6'1 as average was calculated using surveys

Usually good reliable studies on height have a good sample size aka they include a lot of people that represents the country. I think the netherlands study that shows a 182 cm average did measure people from north and south. Also I dont understand why you think just rural people or northerners are taller sometimes its the opposite since richer people live in cities and have better nutrition

That being said in small socialist countires like netherlands or UK if we are talking about the same ethnicity of a person there should hardly be difference in height between locations in the country

Check this out if you click on the citation number on dinaric alps average height's source it tells you they added more than 1 cm to the final height , this is very unscientific

I do see your point, bruv but like I said usually good studies do indeed seperate based on ethnicity or background. In fact I remember seeing a study saying that both of your parents needed to be born in netherlands to participate in study. But Im sure it can be possible that non ethnic dutch can have also have non ethnic dutch parents

Also would you happen to have any height studies from england? From different regions? i would like to see them so i can dissect them and see if I find anything biased or subjective

I believe those statistics as well also dont fall for that meme that younger generation is a lot taller it's bull  1 generation height difference is so slight you cant even tell it  apart assuming there even is a difference. Just considering it takes half a century for men to increase by 1-2 inches tells you the same thing.

Also how much height are going to lengthen, O'l chap?

Otavio, I have nothing against tall men wanting to be taller, I just want you to know that if you are getting height neurosis from reading  ty studies then that's one source you can cut off from your life and simply not have heigh neurosis anymore.

Also may I ask how you came up with "6'3" as "the best" height?

"there may be many women who will reject you for being too tall"

That's definitley true, just check out /r/tall subreddit and you will see countless guys over 6'1 admitting to having been rejected because of their height

Sure it doesnt happen as often as short guys but it still common

"agree with this
i think shoulders length is the most important"

But cant you just make your shoulders bigger and upper body wider by lifting weights?
