Height of young people

[JohnD]

Just trying to get an idea of trends.

Do you know any people between 18 and 20 years old, who are 6ft 3in (1.9m) tall?

How many of them are women?

You can always spot the Dutch fellas when skiing. It's like land of the giants when they are in a crowded bar. Lots are over 2m tall.

Not sure about the lasses though. Both my sprogs tower over me and I'm 5'11".

Neighbours kids are 5'11" (daughter, 25) and 6'3" (policeman son, 20)

Better diet (or fattier foods?) and health means many offspring tower over their parents.

You won’t get much of an idea from a tiny response on this forum .
Try google .

Are you including people pretending to be women, or just real women?

When I say "women" I mean women.

Anecdotal, I know, but when I was a teen and out and about, I wasn't short (at 5'10").
Nowadays, every bugger and their dog seems at least as tall as I am.
Many, a lot taller than I am.



Better nutrition for the majority, I guess.

I'm getting shorter. I must be getting younger.
