who did the study? that methodology? which funded? what were the samples? how many subjects? an average of 1m84 is gigantic, we are talking here of medium

there is a difference between the average of all height and listed the most common height, especially as it is not a country known for its genetic stature, or to be in the sun, or for his diet, there is almost no factors that would justify such stature average

if you have links that I can read ...

it has not always been the case
and newspapers are not scientific evidence
i think there is a confusion between medium and median height

when I was in high school there was a school exchange with high school students in Amsterdam. I don't go in Netherlands but I saw the correspondents and the majority were below 1m85 (at the age of 16)

I'm a 5'8 guy who lives in Holland and I can tell you the dutch don't give a damn about height. Many of you maybe would think I would feel like Jamie cullum or Kevin Hart over here but i never got discriminated about my height, never been bullied about it. Never hear I'm short or something and never been rejected by a girl cuz of it. But everybody towers me over. But Holland is full off short immigrant. At college its very normal to be 5'6 I see those guys every day. But its also normal to be 6'8.

From the internet in appears to be an american problem. The USA just got another reason to be one of the most hated country on earth. Their superficiality is like a cancer to the rest of the world. I am glad I am not american
