I am Dutch and 1.67. (Older generation) You can normally use the toilets and so on. Not everyone is tall. Here everything is made for an average height. No ladder necessary 😊
I have also 167 cm, I am Czech and it's really pain to be that small here, everything is designed for tall or fat people, the worst problem is cloths, t-shirts are not that big problem, but trousers...that's impossible to buy something, it happens like once in 5 years that I find some that fits without modifying it. When I wanted original Levis jeans with my size, I had to order them from England. And sizes like they had 20 years ago don't exist anymore, it all starts with like W32, but I need W29 and even when with some miracle I find jeans in this size, it's still like 15 cm longer than my legs. For what people they design it? Can you imagine a person with my waist size but having 190 cm? Such person would look like a skeleton. Maybe I should move to Korea. 😀 I would say that it went to such extreme that government should seriously make some laws to protect smaller people, because we are seriously discriminated by corporations. I guess it must be even worse in Netherlands where you are even taller. When I want some cloths, I have to go to some Vietnamese mall. But it's weird that I see a lot of smaller people around me, but corporations don't care, they target only tall and fat majority. I think this also very discriminates woman, beacuse when I have problem to operate some buttons with 167 cm, how should do it 1,5 m woman? It's discrimination. I am that desperate that I want to buy sewing machine and learn how to use it, because if you don't make it by yourself, you just can't wear anything, even cloths from kids section is too big.
i been looking yours videos for a while and you are defenetly one of the best and positive reactors on tube but i must say this, i know that video is good when you say impressa something, and wery good when you say mios dios but as a fin to my ear every time you say caramba it just makes my day and then i know that the video is absolutely gold.. sory for my bad english and hello from finland, keep doing these briliant reactions it brightens my days, and thank you.
I am Dutch and average height, 174 cm. Good food, good healthcare and of course, genetics. Really funny to see is that the 3rd generation of immigrants from for instance Marokko are getting really tall. I see young Marokkan women who are taller than me. Whenever you visit Nederland...you will notice that in most places toilets or showers will be at average height. However: beds are longer these days, 200-220 cm... They are making ceilings in houses a bit higher. Being so tall is definitely not always fun and can cause problems with backpains. Girls who are growing rapidly in puberty may need special exercies. The muscles cannot always keep up, so the body can become unstable temporarily. The long legs of tall people are often giving them discomfort. Sitting in a plane or tourbus can be really uncomfortable... With 174 I have an ideal length, I can reach almost everything and do not bump my head... I hope that one day you will be able tot come visit The Netherlands... We will love to hear your Caramba!
I'm 185cm, that's average. The younger generation is probably even a little bit taller on average. Also the average is lowered because we have many people who moved here from around Mediterranean countries. So the native Dutch people are taller than 185cm on average.
Im Dutch and 2.05m, i grown up in the north of the Netherlands and never had problems buying clothes, but when i moved to the west (now living in Haarlem) i always have the problem that they never have my size. I always have to buy them online now or i have to take the train for a few hours to buy clothes in the many stores over there where they have to sizes for me. So also in The Netherlands there is a small size difference.
We in the Netherlands are so tall because we use a lot of dairy products with calcium, I am 71 and 1.86 cm but my sons are taller. Greetings from the Netherlands.
It also has to do with social issues. Netherlands has been a relatively egalitarian society. This insured that the gap between rich and poor was relatively small. The poor had also access to dairy (milk and cheese) food.
What people seem to not know is that historically speaking being tall was a sign of wealth. Because it meant that your family was able to properly feed you year round during your childhood, so your growth wasn't inhibited. This made tall people more eligible and thus more attractive as partners. So there was a socio-economic pressure that selected for people who are genetically predisposed to be tall and who were wealthy enough to not have their growth stunted due to malnourishment. So yeah, tall people married tall people and had tall kids. Heck I know plenty of men who are 2m or taller, who won't date women who aren't at least 1.80-1.85m tall.
We have business partners in the Netherlands, and the few times I've visited I always feel like a shorter than average guy, never get that feeling of being short anywhere else...I'm 186cm 🫣
I am 190 centimeters in hight exactly (it says so in my newly made passport... had to renew it). One brother is 191 and and other 192. I live in Luxembourg so it is not super tall but over the average. You ask a good question as how the Dutch got so tall... I don't know but I can tell one one thing for sure (absolutely); we have a large community of portuguese people in Luxembourg, and all, yes, all the parents where very small compared to the "local" population. But somehow all their kids are much taller. I mean, I had a lot of portuguese friends when growing up and most of the kids where taller than the parents at 13-14 years old. We don't have growth hormones or anything like that in our food, so I don't know what it is. So that is why it is a good question... maybe the portuguese and asian people eat more fish and we eat more meat and that could cause a difference in height. Of course there is a genetic factor but don't tell me that raising your children in another country sundenly makes them much taller because of the genetics... but it is like that. The Portugese born in Luxembourg are mostly the same height as the rest of the population (I can not explain that)
8:59 Watch Nightwish - The Gereatest Show on Earth ( live in Tampere ) please.. Finland symphonic metalband with Dutch female voacalist Floor Jansen, at the end they walk up stage and greet the audiance and stand in line for a group photo.. it looks like Floor and the Elves, she is the tallest of the band, she is 1.86, and she on stage wears high heels, so she is about 1.90, the tallest member comes to her shoulders
I think Dutch drink a lot of milk. They say here you grow more if you drink more milk hahaha I am 190 cm. The average male is about 184 cm here i think and female 174 cm ( that is my estimation though )
I'm Dutch too. 1.64m and i can't reach top shelfs in the kitchen or in the supermarket. Clothes are too long with the arms and legs. But the different hights make everybody adjust.
Yeah it’s crazy. When it’s really I won’t be able to see past the crowds, because I’m just 1,75 meters tall. Especially concerts are bad, because I won’t be able to see anything with all these tall people in in front of me.
Im dutch, im 184cm and i feel small compared to other dutchman in general. i know the reason why were becoming taller. its all about high quality food.
In my country (Germany), I have the correct average height of 1.80 metres (for men). I've been to the Netherlands several times and never had any problems with the height.
Eventually someone will pop up and tell us that the males in a tribe in South Sudan are even larger then the dutch.. comparing half of a tribe to the entire nation of the Dutch who doesn't classify people into tribes because they are basically mixed into oblivion over hundreds of years here. We still have traces though up north people males are 185cm while down south the average is 181cm.
But I am a tiny old dutch granny, just 157cm tall/small. I used to be 162, like my mom and granny. My father used to be 176cm. Nowadays people are around 180cm.
I'm 1.75 but the mother of my daughter was abot a head taller than me. I never had a problem with that. Because horizontally it did not make any diference.
Funny and I think when he would have traveled to a student city he would have seen more tall people. Amsterdam is not the Netherlands with a lot of (smaller?) tourists.
My nephew is 20 and 1.99, his other aunt is barely 1.50 and his grandmother (my mother) used to be 1.57 but is now closer to 1.54. I myself am 1.69 which is pretty average in the Netherlands I think?
Mainly were this tall because of our way of life, from the age of about 4 you get a bike, you play and run around a lot, because you can play around all day when growing up, streets and neighbourhoods are mostly safe, we ride our bike a lot, and eat healthy, since we grow most fruits and vegetables ourselfs there relatively cheap for us so most people can afford to eat healthy.. When I was growing up my mother would used to say, you play outside all day (when not a school day, off course), just come home when it starts getting dark, and many parents here raise there child like this My grandparents and my mom, and other relatives around me when growing up always sayd, we grow this tall because are getting kicked in our asses a lot (by our parents) because when growing up, we all are very naughty, we joke around with each other, test your limits in all things, make many silly mistakes, live with the pain of your wrong doings, and that needs good discipline, so we as children get your ass kicked often, it's also sayd, spoken around in our culture amongst family members, considered as a pleasant way of joking around too (it's told as a joke with a serious side eye along with it).. If you don't behave we'll kick your ass, your parents would say with a smile or big smile on there face Btw: I'm 1,86cm (average height), that's 6 feet 1 in the other metric

Nah, we are not giants. I am 1.75, that is just above avarage for a woman. The tall ladies are 1.80. How ever we have a dutch Giant, His name is Oliver Richters he is 2.18 That is tall.

I'm Dutch with a height of 1.80 and i always feel very small here in the Netherlands. But when i visited South-east Asia, i really felt like a giant 😂
High livingstandaard .almost 500 years the richest country off the world ..Good healthy food we can pay .
I'm 185cm, that's average. The younger generation is probably even a little bit taller on average.

So the native Dutch people are taller than 185cm on average.
