Lol, you are doing this at 1m82?? Thats crazy dude. And no way is French people that tall. I ve been to Europe for 1 month. French are definitely shorter than British, German, let alone Dutch, Danish.... I found many young guys at my same height -1m72- on the street. I would say French, Spanish, Greeks and Italians are the shortest in Europe. The average for young male is probably 1m76.

There is very much a way to doubt that. There have been several posters on this forum that have - backed up with real facts - shown that in industrial nations, the average height is not getting much higher than it is already.

I dont believe that the younger generation is getting taller. What I do believe is that due to lower rates of malnutrition there are less "very short" folks... Therefore, the average height is going up. Going in the streets it's not rare to see 50 years old people that are 177-180. Only now, that there are less 160 and below guys, the average is going up

Nutrition hasnt been a problem for the Western European / USA /CAnada countries since the industrial revolution. At least not to the extent to which to impact the average height.

  That is simply not true. During WWII almost half if not more of US's conspripts were underweight. 
 Lack of nutrition really started to dissapear during the last 50 years or so.
