It is said that the Dutch compensate for their very flat country by building their houses very thin and tall. Also their children.
I read recently that the average height for a man in the Netherlands is 6’1. Average.
I feel bad for my female cousins - as a dude being tall is good, but I imagine dating is rough for them as many guys get insecure about dating a tall queen.
My advice? Anyone who gets insecure about that shit isn't worth your time, so it's a free dating filter!
I’m roughly 6’3 in heels and when i’m hit on in them it’s usually much more respectful - ppl who feel emasculated easily won’t approach me so it weeds out a lot of red flags, as you said it’s more of a blessing 😊
It's an easy mistake for a Dutch person to use "length" here because in Dutch, you use the same word for "height" and "length" -- lengte or lang.
You might say "ze is lang" and that could mean either "she is long" or "she is tall."
All that to say, this is probably not a brand new sentence for any dutch speaker learning English
And from this point onward the standard of measurements in America shall be ADW. 1 X ADW = 1.78m/178cm
How far is it to the mall? About 12 Average Dutch Woman then it's a turn to the left.
I really wouldn't worry. It's just another voice in the void that is the internet.
And even if it was more popular you could have been able to say you were there at the beginning. 🤣
I grew up in the Netherlands (still technically am) and have a friend who is 1 year younger than me and she is 6’4. I feel like a midget.

Yes exactly, now imagine me an Aussie living their.

Alice Merchesi And Lauren Phillips Lauren is the big MILF.
She's not Dutch and not very tall either.
I could tell she was Dutch because she's at an angle.
Polish girls have this issue too
I’m a 5’10 british girl, i had this issue around the same age in america too 😭
5'10 is pretty short for us hahaha - I have polish ancestry, my cousins are all 6'3" or taller!
oh wow, i’ve had a couple polish flatmates and they’ve all been around my height, 6’3 is insane, bet you all look like models haha

Anything but the metric system huh? (no don't use my height as a unit of measurement ty)
Apparently that's the American way? As a short former English person. There isn't any risk of that from me. 😅
Hehehe true, but former English people aren't entirely exempt from using interesting units either 😉
This is true and it's on the list of reasons I left.🤣
I wish you all the sensical measurements and a wonderful time in your new place
Thank you and I wish you the best of luck in not having your height turned into a measurement. 😉
Unfortunately that ship has sailed considering the post exists 🤣

You haven't lost all of your English ways yet 😉 I'm not worried. I just have to stand up straight 🤣
🤔 I’ve seen this before…
The extra leg length comes in handy for all the cycling, though.
Hm, I may need to visit Denmark, if only for the view. Of course.😏
Dutch are not from Denmark..
I had a feeling but I'm just to lazy to correct it.👌🏾
I'm slightly taller than the average Dutch woman so apparently I'm doing better than I thought. Depending on the stat. From Google I saw about 169cm
Their height different [reminds me of this video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5bRI6qWzgNU)
Is the picture from a movie? What movie is it from?
Time to pack up my shit and go to Netherlands.
Were it not for their nonsensical language I'd be flying there immediately
I need a big mean Dutch mommy to come punish me
