I constantly hear that young people are very tall
but with my 18 years (may be I am too old) it is not my point of view
I just feel that young people are lying about their height but the 70's 80's generation remains the largest (for men not for women)
but like you, I am always amazed at the height that I see when I read the newspaper or social networks
on twitter everyone (even the Chinese) is 1m90

https://twitter.com/infos140/status/706135431306473472?lang=fr
 watch this inquiry notice: they are Arabs (or Berber) - Algerian average is 1m72 for men so maybe 165 cm for women - 15 years girls and they are 1m76
but I never or rarely see this kind of people except Internet
I read even by some here that the average height is 185cm, in this case I do not want to live where you are (I'm in France to the north so more German-Celtic tradition that Latin)

people lie, I do not know if it's because they are complexed but on internet there is a lot of subjet, video, site about height (but ll remains unpopular even if i read a lot about this and many model girls of 170 are interested) and many site about celebrities height are significative
people are more interested by height than weight, even if in the first case we cant change it (except with LL)
but it's always fun to see these recurring topics on the height, see the number of stars with wedge shoes (John Wayne, Robert Downey Jr, maybe Tom Hardy)
for example my cousin girl of 13 years claims to 1m70 but I would put more than 5 cm (can be 10 cm) my cousin claims to 1m77 but I go over with my shoes (but dont care about this)
i know a 168 cm guys, many girls have his height and sometimes 10 cm more but i rarely see a guy put him one head (so 188) when i was on hight school, there was a tall guy anyone thinks he was 195 cm but he is 189-90 (he became model)
i know my experience is no scientific and just a point of view influenced by my height neurosis


about the average : the 184 cm in Netherlands take into consideration older people
http://www.noelshack.com/2013-05-1359330609-13593259021312.png : average male height in Europe
i noticed that Spanish guys are taller than French, but for my experieence (always) they are short
i see mugshots of Nazi prisonners during Nuremberg trials and they are tall, in photo with American,british soldiers they seems 190 cm but they are 179 - like Karl Donitz (https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a9/The_Second_World_War_1939_-_1945-_Germany-_Personalities_BU6711.jpg / 184 cm Albert Speer behind, the guy with no hat) and Joachim von Ribbentrop  - so German was tall during the 40's (Louis XVI who was 176 cm was described as tall / even for 174 cm Leonardo da Vinci (internet say he's 194 lol)


before modeling agencies accept girls 1m65, 1m75 minimum now and yet it is not enough and they lie in adding centimeters (like Elite model) but i think is to restrict applications
there are still medium-height mannequins look Cara Delevingne is impossible that exceeds 1.73 unless big
other interesting facts : http://static.vibe.com/files/article_images/vibe-chief-keef-arrested_2.png 170 here and 183 for google
and all of these are not a proof


do you really think that young people are taller ? i thinks the average for young people is 175-78 but on internet they say this average is lowed by old people because they are more 5'11 / 6' (i read this here too)

I think these days kids are growing to their full height potential faster, not getting taller. Probably has to do with the hormones in the food.

Younger generations are slightly taller for sure, at the same time that amount is vastly exaggerated. I would never really believe someone's height on the internet, whether it be famous people or dating site bios.

me too Nightwish
according to internet, my 188 cm uncle is a dwarf (even if he's taller than 99 %)
but all generation after second world war are tall because the new way of life and american food
it's fun because about male height i see many dating site and one day i go to a transsexual site (just to see, no subscription)
transsexual (male to female) people have a male height, but they was really shorter than men on the site (maybe 165-170 average for trannies - but a lot of asiats- and 180-185 for men)

or a see people I know on site who exagerrate her height

Young people are usually taller, but boys more than girls, and not all of them

young people are significantly taller than the generation before. I have seen it in countless countries in Europe now. there is just no way to doubt that.

you say that without any arguments
the 70's 80's have the same height average
see American actors during 50's, they was tall

lol i see your comment "but what I can report is that my estimation is that the average height will dramatically increase within the next  years (among young people). It's not uncommon at all that I see 14 year old male teenagers above 180cm. And usually a lot of the young girls at let's say 16-18 (within the legal limitations  Young people are really taller ? ) are around my height ( ~178cm)."
we know why you arent anthropologist. How old are you ?
