Quote from: endomorphisme on January 31, 2015, 08:19:08 AMIt s very subjective, and I don t think 183 cm is the 10 th percentile for young caucasian male, it s more in the 65 th percentile.
for a white young man 188-189 cm is the sweet spot, you are taller than 85-88 % of men
2 meters starts to be too tall


I think all this is delusion.
I used to think the average in Singapore is 172, but I see so many 178s I was convinced the average is 178 here.
But the official statistics from a tertiary hospital (in 2009) which measured 18 year olds is 172.4. Assume they grow 1-2 cm more, that is 174.
This means, at most, that the younger population is taller by only about 2 cm.
So if 176 is American average, 178 is the youngster average.
Its all just bull  perception. In Korea I thought the average was 178. But no, hell no, they measured army enlistees and average is 173.
Remember, when we go out, we tend to forget the short guys.

Also, considering that America is already developed by the 1990s, I do not think that there would be such a rise in height due to good nutrition. That's blasphemy.

Same for Sinagpore, we became developed since the 1980s  or 1990s; yes people do eat more now, but I do not think much. Our per capita income has all along been the same as America or higher.

The acceptable spot FOR ANYTHING is 5'9"-6'2". Less or more than that tends to be off for anyone.
