How tall is YOUR country? Men from the Netherlands top the table at just under 6ft while women from Guatemala stand at 4'10

We are the shortest because we are being crushed under the weight of all the migrants/refugees from the taller countries !!mark williams
I am surprised it is politically acceptable to report that average height varies by country. To suggest there is a variance of average intelligence by country could cost you your Nobel prize. So why is height acceptable but intelligence not?Bush Pilot

I have a feeling that the influx of millions of people from Mexico and Central America has had an effect on the stagnation of height in the US. Guatemalans are often under 5ft. In 1914, Americans were among the tallest in the world because, compared to other countries at the time, we had a very good diet full of protein from meat. After WWII, many countries have advanced in this way and caught up to us, even surpassing us. I think average white male American height is 5'11" today. Not far off the top.Stu
US have gotten shorter due to massive Mexican immigration influx. Short Latina women yum yum.DaveReply toStu
Yes, Quangos, it is. I found this online. - "gotten - - Pronunciation: /¿¿ätn/ North American, Past participle of get, Usage - As past participles of get, the words got and gotten both date back to Middle English. In North American English, got and gotten are not identical in use. Gotten usually implies the process of obtaining something ( ¿he has gotten two tickets for the show¿), while got implies the state of possession or ownership ( ¿he hasn¿t got any money¿)." Don't you speak Middle English in your Ivory Towers?Tim
A legacy from WW1, that generation of Netherlanders stayed neutral, and were not butchered in massed machine gun fire.ANDREW1414
Think the perfect height for a man is 5'10 to 6'0 as men too tall are often skinny with a stoop & think being fit healthy & not being obese is far more important than just height !!Katie Everett
