The height poll - are you a real Dutchman?

[a space oddity]

I'm 1m76 (~5'9''), female and very much Dutch. (Not that the latter needed to be said anymore. )

You're still not a real Dutchman!

No-one under 170 yet? No shorties play civ?

 

[nonconformist]

I have no idea, but most of the day I'm around five foot. That's most of the day meaning the time I speand on these forums.

I'm kinda expecting posters at the limits to chose the higher one ... (at least if we don't have any very tall women here - they tend to round their height down, IME).

I think women will round their height and bra size up, and their weight, dress size, and age down. Just my thought.

I'm 5'11''

Well, as said, IME, tall women tend to round their height down. At least where I come from, being very tall is not seen as positive in a woman.

The weird thing is, trad Dutch houses are very small

Only in Madurodam though...
I'm a dutchman but you wouldn't tell if you see how tall I am: 5'9'' or 1.72 m as I prefer to say.

There's no "brazilian gene" because there is no brazilian ethinicity

The heights over here vary alot.

the male Brasilians in My family are all about 5 foot 7 to 5 10. The Females are all under 5-3. The American Males are all above 6 feet. maybe there is something there?

I'm close to 180 cm's the last time I checked, so does that mean I can vote twice>

5'9". Granted, you're talking about heights of 2 different genders in 1 poll, so it's going to be somewhat skewed with 10% of CFC'ers being women.

 

[insurgent]

1.92

Grr... ten characters... what does the forum think it is, some nutty kookoo super forum?... Grr... Gonna teach it some manners some day... Grr...

 

[Immortal]

5'7" to 5'11

 

[Sarevok]

5'9".

That's five feet and nine inches of pure hatred for the 10-character minimum.

BTW, i am 5'11''

That rather depends on what I'm trying to measure, doesn't it?

Well Brazil is very diverse, and there are all sorts of genotypes over here.

My family for exemple is all of very tall people. I'm a moderately tall guy by most standards(180 cm), and I'm short compared to the rest of my family. My father is 187cm and I have 3 cousins over with 2 meters in my direct family
And we're all brazilians.
