I'm 6'4"+ 205 (and dropping - yeah) 44-46L

average height in USA 5'10.4 (White+Black males - hispanic males 5'7")
average height in Netherlands 6'0.75

Tallest average male population is in the Dinaric Alps 6'1" (Croatian/Bosnian Alps)

Changes in the American Diet (obesity), and lack of micronutrients found in say fruits, etc, has probably lead to the height shrinking.

6'2 with no shoes, I'm stunned again to see this being the most popular height so far

1m86, which is halfway between 6ft1" and 6ft2". No shoes of course.

I believe that we all look taller than that, thanks to the fitted clothing and heels of dress shoes (taller than sneakers, etc)

Yes, the Europeans are getting taller. Quite natural, if you come to think of it. It's only during the last five-six decades the political and economic climate has been stabilising, with the subsequent rise in living standards, health care and nutrition. Greeks used to be short, and now we field one of the best basket ball national teams in the world.

And the Dutch are indeed huge.

I've spent quite a bit of time in Split, Croatia. The height of many, if not most, of the males there is quite noticeable. Although I've observed this in other areas of Croatia, it seemed more pronounced in Split.

I don't see how anyone thinks they can verbally add 2 full inches to their height and not have the person they are lying to immediately think, "yeah, right." Not saying it doesn't happen...but it's dopey.


Perhaps he will weigh in.

Didn't we already have this. Anyway 5'8 (I think) around 130-135lbs and size 35 jacket or so. I have an imposing physique that intimidates my interlocutors into submission. I'm also very quiet with a great sense of humour and like long walks on the beach and having ******** to Panthera. Serious inquiries or seriously hot nymphos only. Call now.

6'6" This poll wil not get the nice bell curve if it throws the small and (also) the tall in one heap.
