I used to work for a Dutch guy whom I considered very tall; he was 2 m (6'6"). He then introduced me to his brother, who turned out to be even taller: 2.15 m (7'). 🙂
You could definitely work as an English teacher here! In highschool English, Dutch and Maths are what we call the Kernvakken (Core Subjects) so you have to pass these 3 to be able to even graduate. They also teach other languages (German, French, Spanish, Latin & Greek) depending on the level of education you choose at highschool. I'm 1.63 cm, so very short compared to all my friends and family. I have to constantly look up lol
Dutch isn't even a requirement if you want to teach English at a highschool. I had a teacher from Romania who just got here and taught us English and we helped her a bit with Dutch. Because the whole year of English class was completely in English I did learn a lot quickly.
I'm about 168. So as a woman around the average height. The reason I've heard we're so tall is actually because we have been a very stable and wealthy country for a long time. Because of that most people could exactly reach the length that their DNA gives them and evolution can act more efficiently. Growth is hampered by a lack of food and stress. We also haven't had that many wars with lots of people dying in the last couple of generations in which healthy grown men are more likely to die since they're on the front line.
Yup, I've also heard the genetics argument is bunk. I wish I remembered what the issue was, but it seemed to be about diet in the end. Considering the tallest people in the Netherlands are in Noord-Holland, it makes some sense.
I am 1.86... now.. at 64 yr. I" blame" the cod liver oil, Milk, etcetera. My mother was low key vegetarisch.. lots of seisonal vegetables.. fruits.. i love them all.. exept ... sprouts 🤢
I'm not Dutch myself, but I have to say the extent to which they've gone in taming the sea is just incredible. While on exchange there I got to do a tour of the Delta Works (the series of flood prevention measures mentioned in this video) and the amount of work, money, materials and engineering know-how put into keeping the land from becoming sea again is simply on a different level.
I am from North Brabant, which is in the south, male, 1.91m. I can tell you we Dutch are still getting taller. In my twenties, I would walk around and be one of the tallest people there. Now (20+ years later) I regularly encounter people that are noticeably taller than I am. It makes me realize how some of my shorter friends must see me.
i'm 180cm but i am not a dutchman i am a somali man. The thing is my whole family is below 170cm, the food and the pshyical education here is amazing. thats why i am taller than my family
Mfw I'm 178-180cm and Dutch. It's like being ''tall-ish'' everywhere else but ''a bit below average'' in your homeland. Not necessarily that short, I see plenty of guys my height or shorter but just below average. I ain't too worried about it, lol.
I am 1.94, and reached that when I was sixteen. I was considered tall for my age at the time. This year however, I met a 17 year old at my college who is 2.01, and it made me feel extremely small.
I am a tiny person. The tallest person in my immediate family is 171. I am the shortest one with my 163 cm. I am also the shortest one of my friends. Some of my female friends are like 185 cm.
@14:00 you would, English is a mandatory course on all highschools, part of the language curriculem at higher levels and quite often part of primary school
I’m a 176 cm woman, so I’m not considered that tall!! Half of my female friends are around my height, and the rest of my female friends are like 165/170 cm. Most if my male friends are above 185 cm :) except one lmao
Im born and raised in amsterdam and I have a few more weird facts for you. I am 1.86m and usually one of the shortest guys when I hang out with my friends. Also we are friendly and polite but at the same time usually want nothing to do with you. We like our own little safe places, and if you are invited or accepted in those places I can assure you, you will have a friend for life.
05:00 Why though?.. ok here we go.. When these islands were still part of the Netherlands Antilles they used the Antillean Guilder, that country and with it, her central bank were going to disappear. The Netherlands herself uses the Euro, the Netherlands has no unilateral power to implement the Euro in the BES islands, they needed approval from the European Central Bank, as well as all member countries of the Eurogroup. This was going to be months of work. Secondly these countries trade with nations in the region and not with European countries, to have the Euro as your currency in central America would not be a benefit for trade, also it is a popular tourist destination for Americans. The US allows other nations to use the dollar, so it was easier and more beneficial to the islands economies and trade. Implementing the dollar originally was a quick fix to later implement the Euro, thankfully they thought about it and implementing the Euro would simply not be in the interest of these islands. So they simply kept the US Dollar.
I’m a 1,93 male, my sister is about 1,76, my brother 1,88, my parents both 1,72 and my grandma was 1,52. (She’s the only grandparent I have known, the others had died before I was born). My grandma was so short because of malnutrition in her youth. She was originally from a village near Budapest in Hungary. Born in 1915 she was growing up in a country that had lost WW1. The economy was a mess, so much so that there was widespread malnutrition. The Dutch and Swiss offered a helping hand, getting children over to stay for a year to regain some strength before going back to their families in Hungary. My grandmother however was given the opportunity to stay in the NL, which she took. The damage done by a prolonged period of malnutrition could not be entirely undone, hence her being so short.
I am a 1.78 cm male person and that's quite small for my country. But since I live in Amsterdam, where a lot of people from other countries and/or immigrants are living as well , I never had the feeling being too small ! :-)
1.89 meters tall, living in the middle part of the country. I think with every generation we get taller and taller. My dad was taller then his dad, I'm taller as my dad, and I see many younger guys now that are taller as me. Good thing we prepared our houses for it with rather high ceilings xD ps. We don't bully short people.....It will hurt our neck having to look down for too long.
I'm around 176cm. Average woman height here in the Netherlands. But I'm only 15 yrs old, so I'll grow a bit more. I grew tall really fast. When I was 10 I'd be like, 15-20 cm taller than classmates...
Haha I am from The Netherlands but my parents are Asian so I have an Asian height: 1m70. The door for my apartment has a small window (actual window, not one of those sort of looking glass thingies) but it's placed on Dutch height so my family and most of my friends can't even look through that window. If I want to look through it, I have to stand on my toes and then my eyes will reach the lower part of the window so I can sneak peek but I usually just open the door without looking haha
actually ... the netherlands sounds plural ... but it is the netherlands alone where as the low lands (de lage landen) actually is the netherlands and belgium. i'm slightly over 1.94 aka 6'4'' - ish
I am 5'7 ft which is about 1.7 m for a woman. Most men and women I know are taller then I am. My cousin is (female) is almost 6 ft tall at about 1.8 m. So yes, we are generally tall on average.
I'm a 1,74 m (5'8"5), 20 year old female. There are many moments in which I feel very tall, but the times I feel short happen more often than I like to admit... 😂🤣
You dont necessarily get bullied when youre short in the netherlands, it can happen though. but then again you can also get bullied when youre really tall. for example something you could say to a tall person: "Hey is het koud daar boven?", which translates to "hey is it cold up there?". or if they are a redhead and tall they could get called "vuurtoren" which translates to "Lighthouse"
I'am Dutch Carribean from the ABC islands, and I'am 1.70 meters. But yes I can asure you that the average Dutch are very tall, atleast 1.80 meters. Men of 1.95 to 2 meters are not unusual.
Clogs were also very practical on the clay acres. Leather shoes were quickly ruined by the water and you sink more into the clay. You slip more easily and your feet get wet. It is not completely clear why we have become so tall. We were not really around 1900. Genetics could be part of it, but cannot be the only reason because the increase in height happened too fast. Another theory is the food. Over the years the protein content of food increased. Lots of dairy products for example but also a high variety in vegetables. Because of the protein content you can become taller. While this was going on the women were able to give their babies a boost toward growing taller because of the high content of protein in their diet and their own height. Newborn babies were heavier and taller. Also people who moved from other countries to the Netherlands tend to get taller with every generation.
15:56 that’s Sinterklaas it’s the original Santa Sinterklaas has “pieten” and some ppl see it as black facing and rasist but ather just see it as a children tradition and don’t really care
I'm 60 year old and I'm 186 cm tall. My 27 year old son however is 198 cm tall. If you're short they may ask you if it's still cold down there. Best thing is to reply with the question 'does it still smell up there'?
wasn't released in 2016 because he made these films about every country in the world alphabetically, so Netherlands is further away, he's still not done, his most recent one is about Suriname
@1:43 Im 1.75m but im generally short for Dutch average, we have the 2nd or 3rd average largest male pop and the largest female pop worldwide, so yes that's true enough
@11:30 true story... carrots were purple and brown , and then we made em orange for the kings birthday and now the whole world eats royal birthday present carrots
there's no real controversy surrounding it. just people that forget what that holiday is. people claimed something that it wasn't they claimed it was racism while not even knowing anything about it. basically it's St Nicolas and is helpers come to the Netherlands each year for his celebration, where his helpers would go through the chimney and give out gifts (and if you were bad, they would take you away to Spain) but what causes the skin to become black is sut. the make-up they use for the black skin tone its just representing sut (since a lot of houses don't have chimney's anymore
Most of the dutch are tall yes, but the average is highly influenced by the northern parts of the netherlands. That’s where the giants live. Yes short people get bullied on extremely hard. I’m 1.88cm
In my friendgroup of around 16 men, im 1.82 and Among the shortest in the group. There are a few around the same hight and then we have some giants too.
Fun fact also what isn`t mentioned in this video there 2 discoveries these days no one in the world ( maybe in africa or the rainforest you don`t have it) can life without. The dutch are the inventers of bleutooth and wifi
Used to be 6'3 but after multiple back hernia operations I've shrunk to 6'1 And the full saying isn't just "act normal ", it's ; 'act normal then you're already acting weird enough'. I suggest watching the vid about the Netherlands and hierarchy. Kinda let's you know who we aw as a people :)
i am a dutch women, and i am 1.58,5 cm or for the freedoms just under 5ft2inch tall (i am half polish tho) i live in the east, near the german border, in which is called Overijssel, or Twente, which is a subdivision of the greater province. alot of the things they have said are true, but keeping in mind this was a bit older, things might have changed it was funny to watch And at the end he mentiones Floor Jansen!
Im dutch and im 6"3 Thanks for liking my comment. If you would like to know more about The Netherlans or a reason why we do certain things in a way. You can ask me, the same thing counts for commenters
Not all people in The Netherlands are that tall. I'm 1.59 m. ;) and actually living just a 150 meters away from the tiny area that was mentioned in the intro of the video, called De Hulk. The Hulk owes its name to the sign of the skipper's inn that stood here in the second half of the seventeenth century, with an image of a hulk, a large bulky freighter.
I'm 1.83cm and I feel short reading the comments 😂
How tall are you?
191 cm
1.97 cm
185 cm, so about average.
185 cm or 6'1, so I'm bassically the average height.
1.80 , I felt short at school.. but in the south I would have been fine with my height

If you would like to know more about The Netherlans or a reason why we do certain things in a way. You can ask me, the same thing counts for commenters
Clogs (wooden shoes) are not just for tourists. That's a mistake. Many people living in the 'country' still wear them.
what are you talking about haha no-one wears those things anymore hahah
yes, the clogs are still worn but not the wooden ones...

Not all people in The Netherlands are that tall. I'm 1.59 m. ;) and actually living just a 150 meters away from the tiny area that was mentioned in the intro of the video, called De Hulk. The Hulk owes its name to the sign of the skipper's inn that stood here in the second half of the seventeenth century, with an image of a hulk, a large bulky freighter.
No mention of there being more bikes in the netherlands than people. A big omission
