A few centimeters actually do matter. You definitely notice and you know which friends/family are on the tall end and which are on the short end of the spectrum. I'm quite sure height can matter a bit in dating too.

Well idk, i am 190 and i wouldn't really consider someone 10cm shorter than me short, or someone 10cm taller than me (my father for example) a giant.

I'd agree though that it probably can make a difference in how one appears in social contacts, probably also in dating.


edit: thinking about it, i guess a few cm can matter in big crowds, because they make the difference between seeing only the backs of heads or above them.

Maybe your perceptive ability is mediocre haha. I consider friends that are 10 cm taller to be very tall and friends that are 10 cm shorter to be quite short.

Well, it really depends on a lot of other factors rather than height, as long as you are within the average.

Curious as to why the average height is going slightly downwards in recent years according to that graph

The rise of veganism perhaps?

It might be because during the last couple of decade the increase of population in the world is way more important in country who are under the average size so it makes the average lower over the time.

Also because Asian population rising faster while western is stagnating or growing at slower speed. Average Asian height is shorter than western

Yea people in America and Europe are slowing down in terms of reproductive rate while other places are not for example. Even places like China are reproducing more than 20 years ago.

This. Population growth has exploded in the poorest parts of the world and that's also where nutrition is the worst, which stunts height growth.

@RefluxSemantic being Dutch definitely makes a big difference. In the UK I'm quite a bit above average height but amongst Dutch guys I'm average height, possibly even slightly below average.

The most surreal thing happens at airports on the way home. You're constantly so much taller than everyone you see, until you find the queue for the flight back home and suddenly you're average at best.

If it was a joke, A) It was not easily discernible and B) In bad taste.

180 isn't that huge, I'm 183 and I'm on the shorter side of my group of friends and family. A friend of mine is 190 and once dated a Thai girl who was 145. That was hilarious to say the least.
