Must be a genetic mutation passed down through the generations from an over abundance of Heroin consumption.

I'm short even by UK standards.

I wonder why you Dutch people are so tall? Is it good nutrition; or is it because you live in one of the world's lowest-lying countries, and you're somehow trying to make up for that lack of altitude?

That was an interesting read. I'm tall as are the rest of my family. We would fit right in with the Dutch!

usually, over abundance of heroin consumption leads to death tho.

Well, nobody consumes heroin (or other controlled substances) like the Dutch, and I'm not buying into the national heathcare nonsense that's in that article...so that's the best conclusion I could come to =p

Aside from that, many Dutch addicts procreate before they parish from overdose I'm sure...

The Greeks are most likely short due to years of communist/socialist oppression.

Commie/left wing radical rule leads to stress, and as we all know stress can definitely stunt growth!

There you have it!!

I'd love to be with some 6-3 chick! :tw:

I'm only 5-7, myself. The only time I don't like it is if some tall bastard is blocking my view of a concert. I like to get there early, anyway. For non seated shows, cause I like being on the rail. :D

that's true... Dutch people are really tall. (mmm, but personally, i dont care)

many Dutch ladies i saw were very pretty.
what i just can reproach is the size of their feet. Yes, some of them have very big ones. that's not so nice.

i realized this detail one day, when i went shopping in a Albert Heim market in Amsterdam... queuing for paying.

Tallest I been with is 5-10.

Girls can be with guys much taller, what is wrong with it the other way around? I wouldn't be bothered by it, as long as we liked each other.

nothing's wrong with that. it's just a matter of tolerance

i saw some couples where the girl was taller than the guy... many people watched them... but they seemed to be very happy.
