please read my post again. it is an observation that me and a lot of friends of mine (who are for example aware of height in general because of their job, for example professional coaches for sport teams) share. it goes from short guys (let's say 170cm) saying nowadays even teenagers are taller than them to tall guys (190cm) saying they for example are not as tall at a party with a crowd that is let's say 25-40 as on a party where quite young people are (18-25).
I have also talked about that phenomenon to an orthopedic doctor as well as two european LL doctors. all three of them shared my view and none of them was trying to talk me into anything.
I have visited a couple of schools lately. People are just taller than when I finished school.
the same applies to girls as well. I am in my twenties by the way.
It's hard to accept that although one might undergo this surgery younger generations get taller. that shouldn't prevent people from recognizing reality though.

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 
) are around my height ( ~178cm)."
we know why you arent anthropologist. How old are you ?
we both live in France, you should know that our generation is taller than our parents'
However, i don't thing there is a difference between 18 years old boys and 25 years old men.

70's generation is tall, there is many guy of 185 cm or more
and i see rarely people who are more than 185 cm on my generation
maybe young are slightly taller but i just found our average exagerated
and generally they are short older who say that young people are tall
what is the young average for you ?
Quote from: endomorphisme on March 08, 2016, 01:07:44 PMyes they are, i'am 182-183 cm and i often feel short, i think the average height is around 180 cm for young men.
lol its just your oversized ego

the average height is somewhere between 177 cm and 180 cm
but i feel it's more 180 than 177 cm

Maybe undersized ego actually that needs height to compensate
The average height for young french males can't be 180, if the overall average is "only" 175. The young generartion is probabaly 2cm's taller than the overall average. Young people are taller, thats a fact, but by not more than 2-3cm's.
Looking at average heights for the UK the difference before shrinkage from age could set in is fairly negligible, less than 1cm.

There is not much to say for this.
You have to be a really really insecure guy to think that.
Actually even considering this surgery at 183 can tell about your lack of confidence

Not in all cases. Professional models tend to be around 190 and long legs are not a problem.
