I misread, I apologise. Germany, I agree there are a lot of 185+. I was at frankfurt airport where itself I saw a large segment of people that range :/. Sorry bro, no offense :/

I watched the video and I'll agree with myloginacc. He is just pretty muscular and fit which might be adding to the perception of being tall. I watched more videos of him as well as photos and he's noticeably taller than most of the people around him which seems about right if he's a legit 6'1. Still I can see people about his height and even taller. He lives in a country with an average height of about 5'10 so he was about 3 inches taller than an average male there.

He looks a bit above average in that video. He has a skinny frame with low muscle bulk making him look taller

That guy Zyzz died in 2011 at the age of 21 and was a key promoter of the "aesthetics" gym movement.  His videos are quite entertaining.  Firstly he is 6'1 which is quite tall .  Most people don't know what 6'1 really looks like.  Many girls think that a 5'10 guy is 6 foot and many guys go along with it even if they have measured it as lower.  Secondly I agree that his build definitely makes him seem taller.  Even slim short guys look taller than fat ones.  The toned aesthetic look definitely gives him more of a projection and makes him look bigger still.

That's pretty crazy if there are that many.

Back on topic: Australia had mass immigration from Italy, Lebanon, and all of Asia. A 6'1, fit guy is going to tower over a lot of people there (whilst also being massive). If you live in a secluded, homogeneous town in Germany where the average guy is 184cm, you might not realize how tall you really are when compared to the rest of the world.

So yeah I understand that you would like to be taller.

It's obvious that among the people of your height, only the ones who really feel short will visit this forum*, while others (which is, I would say, the majority, at your height) will not come here. So there's a lot of selection bias in play here. Sure, there are 6'0 and propably even 6'1' and 6'2' men in the world who are "definitely sure they are shorter than average", but the majority of men don't feel this way. I haven't been to Northern Germany, but I can testify with assurance that, living in Austria, there have been plenty of times where I have not felt short, despite being almost 10 centimetres shorter than you.

* Except for trolls and some nutcases like Vader who "wanted to be 6'4".

What do you think about 6'2?

This guy spent his life looking good for aesthetic reasons died of a heart failure. The irony of it all. Take care of your health inside first.
