These are the numbers of our bureau of statistics. It's in Dutch though, but the graph shows that the average height of a Dutch male is 1.81m in 2011 (between 5'9" and 6'0"). Could not find more recent official data, but it might be slightly higher now.
I myself am 1.80m in length, and I'm the shortest of my 3 younger brothers.
That's a beauty. Reminds me of a joke on Dexter's Lab when Dexter asks his sister why a certain animal's legs are so long: "So their feet can reach the ground."Parasitic_Chick said:
I'm 6'1" and still growing a little bit at age 30. It'll be interesting to see where I end up. Some members of my family are 6'7", and I'd hate to be that tall: I hit my head enough at my current height.
I'm glad how over time average height has increased for most areas on the planet; although island dwellers still tend to be a bit short, statistically speaking.
I'm 1,88m in old world units, that translates to about 6 feet, 2 inch and a little bit.
Somehow I don't consider myself to be large, but in my work/friend/family environment it looks like i'm one of the biggest people (except for my boss, who is about 6 feet 4/1,95m).
Being dutch seems to help elevating things.

About 2/5s.
Or something closer to 5'6"
I feel short, thought most of the time it's because nearly all of my friends are tall.

I'm about 6'5" (198cm according to a converter).
Wow, lotta short people 'round these parts.
Don't worry, when the sky falls we will be the ones to give our lives to keep you safe for further evolution.

5' 9". You'd think in China I'd do well, but a lot of these newer generations are now easily breaking 6' over here, so I feel short again.
Hell, I had a girl guess I was from Britain. I asked her how, and she said "Oh, you know, Americans are really tall and rougher, but Europeans are smaller and more delicate".
Talk about a back-handed compliment.

I'm about 5'10". I'm actually really self-conscious about it; my dad is really tall, and I always wanted to be his height.
Now, on the other hand, I can never seem to find pants in my size. I seem to be unusually slim for my height. My preference for jeans that fit loosely around the legs doesn't really help, either; most companies appear to assume that preferring loose-fitting jeans means that I'm somehow fat or something.

My driver's license tells me that I'm 5'11". And if you can't trust the New York DMV, then really, who can you trust?
At 22 I'm a healthy 6ft 2in or 1.88m tall 
which was fairly tall but not monstrous. I was probably the 6th or 7th tallest oke in final year of high school. It's probably the tiny bit of dutch blood in me as I am a white South African and I am descended from a wide spectrum of europeans.

Beh. Anyone giving their height to an exact number of inches is lying by default whether they know it or not.Imperioratorex Caprae said:
A person's height changes through the day, because when you sleep, your spine stretches, and when you sit or stand upright, it starts to compress again.
Typically this means from getting up to going back to bed, most people lose 2 inches (5 cm) in a single day.
Now, I wasn't originally going to say it, because it makes me feel freakishly tall, but for me that means something like 184 to 189 cm...
And if you can't convert that, just remember, 1 inch = 2.54 cm
That makes me between 72.44 and 74.4 inches tall.
And since a foot has 12 inches (60 inches = 5 feet)
That puts me between about 6'0.5" and 6'2"
Which is... really awkwardly tall. I have such a hard time finding clothes that fit properly, because they are always too short, especially if they are otherwise the right size...
Yeah, being a 6'2" woman is... Awkward...
