It really does make it that bit more difficult trying to fit in. I am just a bit over 5' 10" but I feel like a giant surrounded by all these munchkins. What is it like in your country? I always imagine Scandinavian females, the Dutch etc to be tall. So what is it like in your country. Amazons or escapees from It's a small small world?

All of the above, America is the Great Melting Pot! I'm 5'5  and shorter than most people as far as I can tell. Hugs, Devlyn

Not always the case,my Mum was 5'10" which was very tall for someone born in 1926.By contrast my Gran her mother was only 5'1"

I am an American of Dutch ancestry. The Netherlands is the country with the tallest people on earth, males average 6 and females 5 7

I know of a tribe in Africa, the Watusi, of the bantu group, where males average 6 7 and females 6

I used to be 6.0 but time and gravity had shrink me to a 5 11 which makes me just about above average =for a male- every where in world.

I consider being a tall women an enormous advantage....it gives second thoughts to the creeps and the haters...it adds to my sexiness....it makes other bitches jealous...

On the question of tallness...it has been clearly determined that the height of a human ethnic group is determined by diet and by sexual selection...

when it comes to the genders, estrogen during puberty closes the epiphyseal plate and thus stops growth in the females...

and so that is the way the cookie crumbles folks
