As someone who's really short (157), I don't mind the occasional jokes about my height. I've learned to live with those.

It's one thing to have a preference for a certain height, but a whole other and much worse thing to be negative to people who are not of the height range that you decided is good. There's effectively zero control over one's height (some minor diet influence growing up but that's more to do with your parents than yourself, so again out of YOUR control), making it a really messed-up factor to rude or belittling or discriminatory to someone for. Nobody should ever be judged for factors which are truly out of their control, unfortunately we do not live in such a world. But videos like this help us collectively get closer to the ideal :)

We didn't grow that much taller until about a hundred years ago, due to improvements in living conditions not because we were chugging down milk every day. We're known for our dairy production, so I understand where that assumption comes from. Sources in the Netherlands however say that our average height hasn't increased in the last ten years but has been stable or declining since. According to national statistics men in 2020 were (self-reportedly) 182,9m tall and women (self-reportedly) 169,3m tall. I think we're so used to seeing straight couples where the man is taller than the woman, especially in media, that we've come to assume that this is supposed to be the norm in society. I mean, have you ever seen a romcom where the woman was taller than the man and the film wasn't about her height?

The world in general is taller because of better living conditions and access to more nutritional food for everyone.

I'm from holland and 188cm which is pretty normal for an original white dutch man. I'm 45 years old. Our White Dutch youth is growing even taller nowadays.

Interesting conversation. I remember seeing a national observational study conducted by Waseda some years back concluding that Japanese men's average height is increasing due to consistently better nutrition. Genetics may play some role but nutrition probably accounts for a greater proportion of the variability in the population. Japanese birth rate is declining fast though due to insane Japanese working culture "karoshi". I would love to see Asian Boss do a video discussing average age of Japanese getting married and having children in this context.

[@fairybreadjp]

I think that would be an interesting video and highly suspect this average age would be different for people in Tokyo vs suburbia or the countryside, with the average age of parenthood being lower for the latter. “Karoshi” means death by overwork so I think it’s a misnomer to say birth rates are declining due to “karoshi.” It’d probably be a bit more accurate to describe the situation as: birth rates are being affected by a multitude of societal factors or issues including (but not exclusively) the work culture.

In contrast, the heights of Northern Chinese and Koreans began to approach the level of Europeans.Especially the people from North China. The economy in North China is worse than that of South Korea and Japan, but they are actually taller than South Koreans. According to the latest survey and research, the average height of 19-year-old northern Chinese has exceeded 176 centimeters, and can even reach 177 centimeters in Shandong Province and Manchuria.Korean data is 174.9 cm. As China industrializes, the heights of Chinese are returning to their historical levels.The reason why Japanese are shorter is because of the "island effect". Mammals living on islands are generally shorter. This is because there is very little food on the islands. People with the tall gene will be eliminated by the environment if they do not get enough food.

Saying Japanese people were always short in the past is false. Actually Samurai were quite tall and this mainly because of their diet. No one likes to talk about this, especially the Japanese Government but the standard of food and how much milk/vegetables children in Japan eat now is lower than the past. Their diet is not as great as it used to be - lots of sugar in everything and bread is becoming more and more common for breakfast (asa gohan). You can look up the soldiers, warriors, samurai of Japan and compare their heights to the Japanese now and see a huge difference. Back then they trained, ate well and really built-up their bodies - it wasn't just the armour and facial hair that made them a scary force.

Among various physical traits, height is the one that is strongly determined by genetics. It’s a textbook example. Of course non-biological factor do play a role, such as nutrition. However, genetics constitute the largest share of the difference in height between unrelated individuals Sexual selection is a significant factor as well.

Female double standards. It's perfectly acceptable for a girl to berate a guy's height, something he has no control over, but if a guy criticizes a girl's weight, something she can change, he is labelled a fat shamer. The heightism is real.

[@suzyocean7392]

Asia is known for their very strict weight standards for women. You're considered fat if you're over 50 or 55 kilos. There are also multiple Asian Boss videos about it already. Stop coping, short king. The world isn't against you

Average young Japanese male height is probably over 5"7'. Japan has a large old and middle age population that can skew down the hright. Old Asian are known to be very short, that's why.

[@monsterego22]

@@JimmyBoosterCrate weird, young Korean men nowadays, as well as North Chinese, are tall. Tge stereotype of Chinese being short is due to most of them coming from se Asia and the far southern provinces historically, where they are mixed with the ethnic minorities there. But Chinese immigrants today cone from all over chiba, and they can get quite tall. Maybe tge diet in Japan is not protein and calcium rich enough? Anerucan fast foods permeate s korea society. Thry now have their own versions of fried chicken and corn dogs and donuts and there are major chains in the country and some have open branches in socal.

height for guys is like one of things where if you are past a certain threshold, you're good. there's no difference between a 170cm guy vs 180cm guy. but if you are 160 something, well, people will start judging. of course not everyone looks at height but you will definitely find people who do start looking at your height

[@dawnriddler]

depends on where you live and what the average height is

[@lolita960]

There’s the BIGGEST difference between 170cm and 180 actually. A lot of women that are considered tall are actually between 170 and 175. I am sorry but those 10cm make a huge difference and you can SEE it as well. Also for petite women that like tall guys, majority do not consider 170cm tall enough, yet will accept 180cm.

I would say men above 170cm have certain human rights specifically the right to be asked to grab that cup/bowl/can from the top shelf of the cupboard, change the light bulb, grab a book from the top shelf and pick oranges from the tree because their mothers/wives/girlfriends are too lazy to get a step stool. I agree that men, or women,who are shorter than that should have none of those rights.

[@KX5Kat]

Not sure if this helps, but my brother is about 173cm and I'm 186cm. Growing up our habits and diets were completely opposite. He didn't like fruits or vegetables and never played sports, while I ate a variety of home-cooked food (lots of vegetables, meat, fish and dairy) and played sports, constantly. I also read that after puberty, there's NOTHING you can do other than surgery to increase your height.

[@正卿-p9y]

I still think gene plays an important role. If you watch NBA, you will find sons of Lebron James have different height. They both play basketball and one is about 188cm, the other one is about 198cm and he is still growing. Probably your parents got the tall gene, and you inherited it while your brother didn’t.

[@myke9186]

Genes also play a major role I have worse habit and diet than my brother I am taller than him

[@ashwindfire8421]

I did exactly what u did but I am only 170cm lmfao.

[@aspect795]

I have pretty similar situation with me and my older brother. He's 177cm and I'm 185cm. We both played a lot of hockey and were very active growing up, only difference is he never touched a vegetable or fruit in his life, while I ate a lot of them. Genes obviously play a massive role, but a good diet definitely helps.

[@amukbir8777]

Its called recessive genes. Its very unlikely to happen. My big brother is 179, I am 180 and our father is 178. We both got dominant genes from our father. If the difference between brothers is bigger than 5-6 cm it means the shorter got his height gene from your mother or someone in your family (maybe grandparents or great grandparents) who had a short height gene. The chance of that "lottery" increases if the height difference between your mother and your father is bigger than 15 cm. But you still get to be taller than your mother because of the growth hormone despite getting a short gene. Only happens with males though,if women get height from their fathers or a dominant gene from their family their growth hormone will shut down her maximum growth potential. Thats why its pretty rare to see women over 185 cm. Even around my height in europe I dont see women taller than me most of the times at 5'11. But yeah nutrition helps with the growing process. I could have been 6ft if I had eaten better and worked out (veggies, calcium and more protein) during adolescence. So yeah you took advantage of your height potential.

[@mikila94]

I'm 172 cm. That's five centimetres taller than an average woman here and yet I was the second shortest girl in class during graduation. Sometimes being the short one sucks, but hey, yay for being taller than an average Japanese man.

[@naejin]

Actually, being shorter makes you more energy efficient. You require less calories to survive, and your lower center of gravity allows your bones and joints to last longer. In times of plentiful excess, there is room for bigger, but in times of scarcity such as post apocalyptic times such as after nuclear war, being smaller increases the chances of survival. Remember when big dinosaurs died out when resources/food became scarce, only the small animals survived. Diversity is valuable so a species can survive many different scenarios.

But japanese foods tend to be very healthy too, in fact, much healthier than Chinese and Korean foods, so I wonder why

The Japanese are genetically short, and the Japanese diet isn't healthy. They eat way too much white rice and not many fresh vegetables.

You must know that 20 years ago, there were very few Chinese people who were 185cm tall. It took 150 years for Europeans to grow taller. 30 years ago, there was a problem that Chinese people did not have enough food.
