Alt text: Chart showing average height, but incorrectly scales the entire person instead of just the height, with the Netherlands as the tallest and Indonesians as the shortest. Bottom image is the Bane vs. Pink guy meme showing Bane as the Dutch and Pink guy as the Indonesians.
Lol why are the british and americans so freaking short. I never understood why 6 foot was such a big fucking deal but apparently in hungary, one if the shortest non-southern nations in europe, its still much likelier that you are 6 foot than in the uk or usa. Yall are shorties, explains all the male insecurities /s
I'm not walking around measuring people... ever since the restraining order, but just looking around it seems like guys here in the US are around 5'10" or 5'11" on average. I'm 6'2" and don't really feel tall.
Someone else guessed maybe it's because of the higher proportion of people from other regions where average height in their place of birth (or parents' or grandparents' place of birth) is shorter. Makes sense to me that our immigrants and their offspring could be bringing down average height.
Maybe there is something to it but the uk for example has really low immigration and where i libe now in sweden, like one fourth of the population is recently immigrated people and even the immigrants are taller than youd expect tho there is a lot of mixing between people. I also think the immigration from for example the balkans could have actually pushed the average height up because croatians, serbians and even more so bosnians are tall af.
I wonder if this is a regional thing in the USA? I'm 6 ft tall and only encountered 4 non-relatives taller than me in the past 20 years. Most don't even come close to my height.
It's so rare that I remember them to this day despite just seeing them in passing. 3 of the 4 were when traveling across the country.
Yes, the height of black and white men averages close to 5'10" here, and the height of black and white women around 5'5" I think, we do just have a lot of everyone here, except apparently not Dutch?
My husband & I are both about 5'9" and he says he feels dead average because sometimes he goes out and is taller than all the guys he passes, and sometimes goes out and is shorter than all the guys he passes, but usually doesn't notice, I feel tall because I don't notice if all the women I pass are shorter than me but really notice if many are taller than me.
5'9" is average for an American male, a mere 3" shy of 6'. Plus, this graph is not only false, the scale is laughable.
Average for the US is 5'10" apparently, but given our melting pot status id still say it was pretty tall.
