This is very true. Better nutrition and pickier females make the new generation guys very tall. 6 feet is the new 5'7'', trust me.

Then the "new 5.7" is the best height a man can have.
Update: I did new measurement. I used to place a book on my head and take the measure. Then I realized that in my subconscious attempt to be taller I placed the book maybe slightly upward so that I took 1 cm. I did more accurate measures today with boxes which cannot but be perpendicular on my head and my afternoon/evening/real height is 176.5. If I stretch a lot I can achieve 177 cm. I took some measures in the morning and I was 177.5 most of the times but that is not the real height. The real height is in the afternoon on my opinion. So I don't even reach the 5'10 I hoped.
In the meantime I read some articles which talked about new generations height and it is official: recent studies on 18 yo italian guys say that the new average is 177.8 cm. Which is even more than average of 18 yo American guys (177.2 I think to remember). This confirmed my perception of new generations being taller than me. The 177.8 was an average of Italians guys of every part of Italy, with Southern Italians no doubt lowering the average being known to be shorter. Since I live in Central Northern Italy I think that that average here could be at least 1 cm more and if we go to northern Italy I think they overcome the 180 cm no doubt.
This would explain why I feel slightly shorter when comparing myself with other young guys... Because I am probably on average 2/3 cm less.
If you want to read the article it's Italian but it gives all sources: http://www.lastampa.it/2016/07/27/societa/abbiamo-superato-gli-americani-ma-soltanto-in-altezza-ZFTFUVSSB46dNOYO65WUzI/amphtml/pagina.amp.html
Also in my last meetings with girls met online I have noticed once again how height was the first thing they all noticed and mentioned. ALL girls mentioned height among the first sentences at least once, usually to say that I looked taller in pictures or to ask how tall was I (after having asked it other times in chat but they forgot). I smiled and pretended I did not care, but innerly I felt so frustrated. Mainly because I was using lifters inside the shoes (about 1.5/2 cm) and even with the lifters (thus 179 cm) I was considered "shorty". I wonder what they would have though if I did not even have them.
