This is my reaction to What Happens When a 193cm Korean Goes to the Netherlands?
In this video I react to a video from a tall Korean man who travels to Netherlands to look at the differences between life in Netherlands vs Korea for a tall person.
Original Video - 193cm 한국인 네덜란드에 가면 생기는 일 - • 193cm 한국인 네덜란드에...
1.83, a 71 years old Dutch woman. 50 years ago I was one of the tallest women. No longer so! Which is nice for buying jeans and shoes.
Man here with the same length but one year older. My mom was 1,52 m, had six children, ruled them all, died at 99.
59 year old woman here.
Dutch.
190 cm
I am 176cm (5’9) and I feel very short here in NL. I am half English and when I visit my family in the UK I can definitely see and feel the difference
I'm 170 and I have literally failed to use the urinoirs in a Eindhoven bar's toilet because I wasn't tall enough...
come on ddue.!! i am 1,77cm...
did you get bullied at school for your height.?
@@ricokramer7716 No?
At 185cm I'm a little bit above the Dutch average for men. However, I am one of the shorter males of my entire family, so there's that. 😅
haha me2 man, i am 177 but my brothers are all 185 or above.! XD
in public it might be above average, but if you go to any school you'll definitely be below average
@@ricokramer7716 same for me, 177 and my brother and most of my family is above teh 185 with a few outliers who are 200 or taller
The migrant population lowered the average height of the dutch 😅 When I moved to the Netherlands the avg height of the dutch army was 193cm.
I bring down the average in the Netherlands:-)
I am a 160 cm tall Dutch woman.
Something that is funny but also very difficult in a world with giants. I can't easily reach anything in shops, shopping for clothes is a disaster and sitting somewhere where I can put my feet on the ground is no longer possible. But the plus side is that everything that is old in the Netherlands is suitable for me again :-)
Old houses, for example, are ideal for me. The steep stairs are no problem with shoe size 36. I don't have to bend over to go under a old door frame :-)
you single and ready to mingle aswel.? XD
i am 1,77cm and my shoe size is 41/42 gheghe
Try Belgium for clothes shopping.
They also have better taste in fashion ;)
My mother is too, Dutchy here. But we do get used to it anyway, we don't know any different, besides always looking up. I am 169 myself
I'm a 5'1/158cm Dutchie, and my height is one of my greatest insecurities. My father is average and my mother below average, and I got the short end of the stick (pun intended). They often say, "you're average for the rest of the world", but I don't live in another country, I live in the Netherlands.
Dutchie here. Bit taller than average at 190cm. Played darts and for a while I was the shortest player in the team. All others were at least 195 cm for a couple of seasons. Family is reasonably tall too, but the males in my mothers family were the largest by far. My grandfather from that side of the family was somewhere around 200cm and large, at least 125 kg, but probably closer to 150 kg; without looking overly fat; he actually was nicknamed "de reus" which means the giant. It was a thing in those days, Netherlands wasn't as rich back then in the twenties and thirties, so the food wasn't as good back then. My uncle was a bit shorter around 195cm, also a big man. He was a butcher with hands the size of hams. Because I am a bit smaller I always joke that evolution is going backwards in my family.
There are also regional differences. People in the north tend to be a bit taller on average than people from say Brabant and Limburg.
I'm Indonesian in the Netherlands...let me go to Korea...
I'm pretty small for a dutch woman (1.65) but when I went to Portugal I felt so tall! I felt like I was almost stepping on other people cause they were so small!
Lol So only midgets in Portugal ?? 😂🤣😂🤣😂.
haha as someone who is 1.90, i realy understand your feeling
LOL, same for me when I lived in Italy as a Dutch person, I am 169cm , I guess we are so used to everything being tall
I am German, have a few Dutch friends and Dutch colleagues, in average they are between 190cm and 200cm. With my 180cm I am always the smallest in the group. When I moved here 20 years ago, my Apartment had doors that a 2 meter person can easily pass. I felt a bit the apartment doors are oversized. But architects consider already the taller dutch people, so doors in new buildings cope with their hight.
Sheesh don't exaggerate, the average between Germany and the Netherlands is just a few cm. Kind regards a 1.79m Dutch guy who's slightly below average here
I used to be a tall Dutch man with 187 cm (60 years old) but nowadays I’m average against the younger generation. They seem to grow taller every generation.
I was one of the tallest of my family and at school, but new generations are taller. My youngest son did not want to be taller than me (1.90m) but ended up 1.95m. He's happy with that now. Averaging between 1.90 and 1.95 feels like the perfect length here.
I'm a 1.71 m dutch woman. I'm not tall. Especially compared to the younger generations. They're definitely getting taller.
I'm 203 cm tall, and everyday i see people taller than me, and yes im Dutch also. So yeah 193 is like normal.
Growing up in the Netherlands it feels normal to be taller and taller. I always been very happy to be average with 180cm. It's not very tall in Dutch standards but a gaint for asian average but still very average tall for most of the world.
What is uncommon is my short legs and very long upper spine.
189cm here. I'm considered tall but not very tall. It only happened once where I was in a group of ~5 people and I was the shortest.
I'm a 197cm Dutch guy. Years ago I went to Hong Kong and entered a 300m+ sky scraper: de ceiling of every floor was 190 cm so I had to bend over constantly... When I entered the elevator, everybody was staring at me, and one guy couldn't help himself out of utter surprise saying I was "a f--ing giant". I know he didn't disrespected me (as Chinese people are very respectful), but I found it funny he just was so honest. We had a good laugh at it.
Been there 😁
I'm 183cm and feel normal in the Netherlands, still there are many people that tower over me. My uncle is 2.18m and that's very tall even for the Netherlands. When i go to different countries i always get people telling me i'm tall but i am not at all actually.
Dutch and 186cm, I can attest. Tall people are very common in the Netherlands. Women too. I live in France and I tower over most people.
Me 196cm and my little brother 203cm. Father 180cm mother 174cm.
Same, me 203, my brother is like 1.95, my dad 1.85 and my little sister also 1.85 my mom 1.70😅
With 175cm I’m short as a Dutchman but not everyone is 2m. A lot of people are between 165-190cm It’s more that the younger generation is taller than the older generation
It’s the opposite!
The average height in the Netherlands is about 185 cm, but elderly Dutch people tend to be around 175 cm, or smaller to 160 cm or even smaller. depending on their age and of course their DNA. A good healthcare-system and availability of healthy food, contributed to the increase in length. It also "helped" that Western-European women (not all!) are attracted to slightly taller men.
I was 1,86 but now at 71year 1,83 , my grandson is 1,96
In 2007 I have been to Taiwan and South Korea on a study-trip.
25 students, 2 professors
11 were taller than me (I'm 1m90)
So it was not hard to find eachother in the subway as the girls didn't have black hair and the boys were taller than the rest of the people.
Riding the bus was quite a challenge as you could not stand up straight in the middle path and in Taiwan the offices in some buildings were quite tricky as you would hit the sprinklers on the ceiling.
I think this Korean guy should also have visited the north of the Netherlands (Groningen) as here I do not feel tall at all, but when I visit family in the south I'm significantly taller than the rest.
My best male friend is 2.14m (7ft) and he is an attraction abroad 😂 He gets so many stares and comments everywhere we go, especially in the States and Japan. In Japan I became the designated photographer, even being a 1.80m (5’9) woman.
2m used to be too tall in the Netherlands
But houses started to get doors that are 2.30m since 2001 so now it's getting better
Being Dutch and being of average height, I've noticed that the older a house is, the lower everything is. And that when you buy a kitchen or a toilet in the Netherlands, the sales person will actually look at the height of you (or the both of you if you're a couple) and recommend a certain height for your toilet to be mounted at, or how high to make your counter top.
Buying houses, I remember a particular occasion where the realtor explicitly stated: "Actually, the toilet has been recently renovated (year), but the reason there's a standing toilet in stead of a hanging one, is because the owner of this house is really tall, and a wall mounted toilet would have meant less legroom. (Because toilets in the Netherlands are typically claustrophobia inducing cupboard spaces.) So to make a long story short, we've just adopted it. For that matter, I also know beds of 220 cm are not a rarity.
1.98 meter Dutch guy here....and a really big guy.
I used to be 187 cm but I'm 185 cm now, roughly the average height as most males. Now and then i see people taller than 2 meters though. In my entire family including extended family members everyone is taller than 180 cm. I do have 1 male friend that's only 170 cm. He's very short in my eyes. For a guy.
I'm a dutch woman and only 1,66. Now living in Belgium and I feel tall over here. Most Belgium women are smaller then me.
I’m a dutch 49 years old man and i’m 188cm. When I was young I was skinny and let’s say more upper average group, now when I go grocery shopping I see a lot of late teens and early twenties that tower over me and have a muscular well formed body and can be really intimidating.
Im 186 cm and almost 67 years. When younger i was 190cm
I'm average with a height 180 cm. And that's also how I feel here. Some are bigger, some are smaller.
How's the weather up there?
I’m a 1,65m woman and short compared to the average. I married into a family of taller than average. I barely reached the shoulder height of my husband. Yet the height difference was never an issue.
Dutch woman here, I'm only 1.56m., so very small.
I'm a (Middle aged) 191cm. That is clearly taller than average for that generation which was probably 182cm or so, but nothing more than just "tall", a handful people in my class alone that were in the same category. Only special consequence that I can remember is that in kitchens I could comfortably put tins on top of the cupboards or the highest shelf that drove my family and flat mates nuts sometimes, having to fetch a ladder/stepup to get to the coffee tin. I've been in an Irish B&B that was in an older property, with 180cm doors. My grandparents house from 1911 or so had higher doors.
The Dutch, Tallest people in the world. 196cm myself, and still there are taller people wherever I go.
I know what he feels like; if I go shopping in Buchana Street, I tower over folk and I'm only 195. And seeing what Korea is like, I'm not jumping to go there, even though I'd love to see the country.
When we went on vacation in Italy in the 70's, my father had size 46, when we went to a market he wanted some slippers but they only had up to size 42 or so, all other market people came to see and marvel at this huge feet! Nowadays we are still tall compared to Italians but not by a lot. They also grew over the past decades!
Vinz is talking about shoe size if it wasn’t obvious…
Very interesting video indeed!
I'm Dutch and have a height of 1.78m and is below average for my country..
I'm quite small for a Dutch woman (159 cm). it can be frustrating, because the average height is quite tall, that a lot of basic necessities are catered for a certain height. Reaching top shelves in stores is difficult, the toilets are always too high, at work I need the office chair at it's lowest which is then just about the right height for me, and the thing I hate the most: pants are always too long (they barely carry shorter sizes, so online is the place to go) and sleeves are too long. but people call me cute a lot because I'm small according to them, so there's that🙃
1,77 Dutch male here (mom is 1,54 and dad 1,83, so my length turned out pretty ok) I'm always on the shorter end of whatever group of people I'm hanging out with. I visited Toronto a few years back, which has quite a few Asians from various countries walking their streets at any given time and I felt like a giant 😅
I am 169cm, my mother being fully Dutch is just a tiny 165cm, my dad being asian, I am pretty small for the average Dutch standard, I lived in Italy for 8 years and i felt really tall there, then I came back to Holland again and only then did i realise how tall people are here. I am so used to it and to looking up. My cousin is 212cm , we have all heights in our family. Thought nothing is too heigh here for me, as in toilets or sinks, I am so used to it , I never thought about it until this video, then I remembered how in Italy the sinks were a lot lower too, which felt uncomfortable to me. You just get used to that what you grow up with, I guess
Als de dijken beken.. kan iedereen het hooft boven water houden.! 😊
@@eelcowolbers1150 Tsja… da’s een ander ding hier… ik woon op -4,75.
Im 5'4 as a Dutch teenage girl, and i feel so incredibly short all the time its sad
But most men love short girls, so enjoy ❤
I am 1.77m/5'11 Dutch woman. Feel pretty average walking around town in Utrecht.
Im 2m from Denmark living in Netherlands. Surprisingly I'm experiencing a lot of issues being tall here. My height is primarily in my legs, and having very long legs and big feets makes it so difficult buying pants, shoes, sitting in public transport and finding bikes. Yet I've meet people similar height to me,. not having the same issues.
(Also I'm not skinny like a lot of Dutch people. I'm quite thick build by nature so very wide shoulders and hips, long feets ect.)
Maybe I'm just looking the wrong places.
I am Dutch and 1.98 m tall. In Wales the ceilings of pubs were too low for me to stand up, and I didn't fit in the beds of B&B's. When I was in Jaipur India, I was used to be looked at as a giant, but at a busy street crossing where I waited for a friend, there was this Indian man across the street who was as tall as I was, and we looked each other in the eyes for several minutes;
Sounds like true love.
I’m 15 years old and 191 cm, witch for my age is definitely above average. But in public I still feel like a kid regardless of my height, cus there are still many adults taller than me.
When I was young I had a classmate off 15 years who was 2,15cm ….. he broke his own hip trying to do a karate kick but his other leg swept and he fell and broke his own hip.😂
Holy Smoke! Never thought of this. Here in Germany im average but in the Netherlands im on the smaler site. Im 1.88, too.
I am Dutch and 2,14m tall, well above average. I have never known differently (2 brother and 2 sisters all are tall + my dad). I am not considering moving or visiting Asia any time soon, my height is going to be a massive obstacle.
As an example, I joined a rowing team (height was a big +) and a teammate went and visited Indonesia, he was 1,93m. He was seen as an... circus attraction to the point that it wasn't funny anymore. The stories he told me were fitting with what I already knew.
In the Netherlands my height is a small inconvenience that I can work around, in other places in the world it is an abnormality. So if I visited finding a bed, toilet, shower, clothes, space on public transport, room when visiting temples etc. everything would be a challenge and at this point I just don't want to deal with that.
At 6’2’’ I’m tall for a man of my generation, and about 2’’ above average.
But looking at younger people, I feel as if I’ve shrunk
When visiting Southern Europe or the UK or US, I suddenly feel very tall again 😅
Also when going south or across the pond, I find that on average worktops and sinks are up to 4’’ sometimes 5’’ lower than at home
And there’s way less legroom onnpublic transport etc
I'm 1,83m and I even although that's average over here, I feel short.
Our Dutch men are the tallest in the world and I believe Latvian women are the tallest women in the world.
I'm a 1.76cm Dutch woman, I think just a little bit over the average.
i am 190 ...we dont want to be tall we just dont want to be short..because you wont see anything at a concert....
I'm 1,97 myself. That's quite normal here (it's because of the cheese and the kale :) Love the clip. He's a giant in Korea but just one of the guys here.
I am 193 cm and 65. I used to be one of the tallest but now I am just above average.
Going to aria is aways a thing. People are always looking.😂
I’m 175,5 so pretty average for a local woman. I’m still a little bit surprised when men are a full head taller than me despite having tall family members, because I used to be taller than everyone my age until I was 14 and the boys started catching up…
1,71 cm Dutch woman, I'm exactly average height for women here... My sister and one of my brothers are about 1,80/1,85 I think and my twin brother is approaching the 2 meter mark. Dad is around 1,85 as well and mom was about 1,58 😅.
I am Dutch, coleague of mine is 227 cm tall...
Why do I have the feeling that I need to see braveheart again.
Im dutch im 198 cm and 110 kg
This so weird. Lived in the NL my whole life. I'm male and 169cm tall I never seen myself as exceptional short. Or ever had the idea that everybody around me is taller than me.
I'm a 1.94m Dutchman, and I can confirm I'm just the middle of the heights in my friend group. 😂
I am 1.87m and that is a very avarage height but often I feel quite small here in The Netherlands
I used to 1m90 but these days at my age I am shrinking. When I was working and we had standing receptions (which was often) I must admit I felt dominated as my colleagues were not only tall but big as well.
Dutch houses have higher ceilings; those in my own home are 2m75. Beds are longer as well; 2m10.
There's about a 10cm average difference between the countries, almost the same as between North and South korea. One is due to genetics the other is due to nutrition
Dutch one here. 6'8. But tbh, just stop at 6'5, just a bit more manageable. Most people in my family (male) are between 6'3 and 6'7.
I’m 193-194 or so. Just the same as this guy. So pretty normal ish.
My son is 1.95 which is always a problem when going on vacations. Beds are most of the times to small. His feet stick out.
Statistics (according to the CBS, Central Bureau of Statistics) show that the average height of men born in 1930 was 175,6 cm. The average height of men born in 1980 was 183,9 cm. So in 50 years a difference of 8,3 cm.
Women in 1930 165,4 cm and in 1980 170,7 cm. A difference of 5,3 cm.
Statistics show also that the generation born after 1980 is a bit smaller, men just a bit and women 1 cm. ☺
I wonder if the shorter average in the last decades has to do with the increase of the Moroccan and Turkish community. They are Dutch but with a different heritage. I feel like people of Dutch descent have kept growing.
I'm Dutch and 1.76m so I always feel short.
I have to say after being abroad many times; I hate those low showers and you have to mess around with showerheads (1,93m Dutch dude)
I am Dutch, my father was 1,76 m tall. I am 1.80 m tall and my son is 1.90 m. tall. So, yeah, I wonder where it stops?
lol such a funny video.!!
i am 1,77cm.. its pretty average i think.?!?! i dont feel small but neither do i feel like a giant... XD
At 185, I used to be tall when I was young, now I am just average 😂
bro im 181cm and dutch, people call me short all the time but im above global average 😢
Problem for tall people is finding clothes that fit , coss it's usually sold out.
Im 195 im dutch
I am 198cm and still I am the little brother 😆 Well, I'm the youngest, but also my brother is 204cm.
I,m 1,74cm and I am considered a small man here , I also feel small as a Dutch guy . I,m considered a monster in Thailand tho 🤣😂🤣😂
Most people do not want to be 2m tall, it's a bit to tall for comfortable car use and stuff. There is no standard want here like 6ft, but I'd geuss most men would want to be somewhere in the 180 to 190 range
Im 193cm from The Netherlands, haha.
Even for a Dutch guy I am tall so I kinda got used to pee in sinks... Specially when I am in other countries where people are smaller.
i am small 1.65 mtr by dutch standard, but my nephew, (17 yrs ) he is way much taller than me.
I'm Dutch and 186cm.
i am a dutch male and 1.75. take one guess who always has to sit in the back? my 1.90 and up friends don't fitt in thr back of an car 😂
190cm Dutchie here
I am 2m but I think everyone above 190cm is tall.
My 1.92m (6.3?) is pretty average over here in the Netherlands. I never feit tall.
1.87cm … but i think the elderly men average around 1.80 but the young adult men are more like 1.90 on average
So I am dutch about 1.80. I always felt very small compare to all my friends. 2 to 2.2M. funny thing is when is visit some other countries i am normal or height or even a bit tall. but with those friends with me is makes for a funny sight
I’m average…
to Dutch standards, and I’m Dutch 😅
We pronounce that 1 meter 93 btw.
I'm feeling small with 185cm lol
They will call him shorty.
I'm 2m Average dutch people are smaller due to import people.
Iam 180cm (5'11) and pretty average. Sometimes i feel tall, overall i feel a bit short. I don't care though..
I am exactly the average height for women in the nl (170cm) and I feel so short here 😭
Compared to my friends I’m one of the smallest I’m 1.83m
