I'am 183 cm at my lowest, i went in Germany where i just felt average , when i compare the youngs in germany and in France, the difference is not so perceptible.
The average for young german is 180.5 cm, the average for french between 18 years old and 65 years old is 176 cm, which means the average height for french young men must be 178-179 cm.I correlated those statistics with dating websites and you know what ?I found similar results
Besides , i have graduated from one of the best engineering school in France, i am a good observer, i know what i am talking, german are just a bit taller.
At 183 cm, i often feel dead average with other white young men, so i'm sorry for you, but even in France you're not above average

I was in Paris two or three weekends ago. Went around 175 and felt completely average. Even went to a club and felt average

i went in israel when i was a child, i visited a university , i was only 140 cm but i remember that everyone were much shorter than me.

Do you get it?It's easy to write a fake testimonial, i'm giving real fact, the average height for young french men is not below 177 cm, especially in Paris, just like the average height for young german is not above 182 cm.

this is for you, as you can see the average height for 18-22 years old conscripts was 176.6 cm in Paris, 25 years ago...

Not a single average height is 180... You just debunked yourself. Thank you

Edit Post

I never said they are short, I said the germans are "noticeably taller" , which is true. A 2-3cm difference is a noticeably amount (for someone who pays attention to this like me), so don´t twist my words.
In addtition to this saying france is on the lower end of the european scale is true as well, why arguing?
178 seems like a plausible average compared to the 176,6 25 years ago. That would be a difference of 2,6cm´s (180,6 in urban germany) which correlates exactly with what I´ve said. 

Edit Post

It is difficult to calculate an average
but all that I can say that French 1m77 is a median height a lot of people did and that's probably the fairest average


I went in Norway and norwegians are not so tall, like german i think

Quote from: Alittletooshort on March 28, 2016, 04:32:55 PMThe germans are noticably taller than the french though, I´ve been to both countries several times and I can tell you that the french are on the lower end of the european scale when it comes to height.
Non the less, 180 is what many consider "normal" so below that you are somewhat short. A friend of mine was called dwarf by a girl a couple of weeks ago and he is 175.

lol, a true 175 ?
I have a friend who is 5-10 cm shorter than me and said he is 172-73 (my height)



I do not think the French are so small on a European scale
already it is taller than all the countries further south and east, taller than the Russian
it was the same height as the Belgians or the British, and if they claim to be taller they lie
i have belgian blood
i travel in Norway, in UK, in Swiss and i dont think they are taller or maybe 1-2 cm

1-2 cm is like a head and a half on this forum though...
