    (hits up Wolfram|Alpha for a conversion) I mean, 1,70 m is not that small. It’s fairly average, even in The Netherlands. Speaking from experience.

      That’s 13cm shorter than the average in the Netherlands. Never been in the Netherlands, but even in Norway where the average is 181cm, 170cm is definitely on the short end. In the US the average is only 177 so it’s not really short over the pond though.

      I was initially thinking of adding “but who really cares about height in real life though?”, but then I remembered that height discrimination goes beyond women in the dating scene and is a serious issue.

      It’s small. I’m 1m70 and here in the south of France, most teenage boys are taller than me, and I’d say about half of adult women are my size or close. 1m80 is the new normal size.
