I really had enough of boasting about a country's average

height,especially my peers' cuz I'm just one of millenials and I can see

stloads of craps like:

'How tall in 2000s these middle students are!I was feeling tall at

180cm+ but now I can't even tower over middle students!'

'I can feel the epic average height growth of our students.180cm+ is a

normal height for boys at 11-12!'

'I'm really experiencing pupils' horrendous average height growth today.I

can see a helluva primary students over 175-180cm.Taller than most of

adults!'

More and more stupid boasters are opted for ignoring truths but bluffing

ppl about young students' heights.

I dunno how it is like in your countries but on Chinese Internet,if you are

'only' 180-185cm tall,it seems like you can't win even most of junior

students over the height.

who cares

who cares

One of my anxious triggers is my diffidence of height in reality,and the other is these boaster' bs.

What you are experiencing is selection bias.

When others brag about height, only the "tall" ones will be mentioned, because that's considered tall, and it adds to their social prestige. Do you want to be known as the person with only short friends?

As such, they will never mention their cousin who was 168cm, because it's embarassingly short and they will be associated with short genes.

This results in a sample that is overwhelmingly biased towards tall references. While averages are rising, there is very little chance that youths in Shanghai or Beijing average more than 177/178cm.

I'd rather say involution in China is the prime criminal,driving Chineses

mentally competative and physically tired out of occupations or studies.

But it's a matter of fact that the average height is rising but not that

rapidly and drastically otherwise Chineses can compete Serbs and

Montenegros over heights.

But actually I've seen some millenials under 160cm even 150cm online

and offline.I really consider them doomed and fked up.

178cm in Beijing?  Not a chance.  178 is the height of young south Europeans, not Chinese.  Visited China before and spent 2 weeks in Beijing.  I was only 175cm back then but I was much taller than most young people which is the demographic I was hanging out with.  I’d guess 172cm with very few men over 180cm.

Thats the truth.
People almost everywhere have peaked their average heights and that won't increase further. Maybe future generations will be shorter as much people become poor in the world unfortunately.
But for sure, 1.80 and 1.85 are not common heigts even in youths in most europe countries, not even China where 1.80 and over must be less that 5% of men, even the young ones.

I would say that 1.80 is fairly common in European countries but 1.85 is less common.  I think most of the average heights from Wikipedia etc. are inflated 1 or 2cm but not any more than that, so European young male average is probably somewhere from 1.77 to 1.79, making 1.80 fairly common.  As someone who is over 1.83 during the day now I am taller than a huge majority of European Americans who aren’t really too much shorter than European Europeans.  1.80 is a very solid height everywhere in the west and 1.85 is a fantastic height anywhere.

Unsure about future generations but immigrants keep coming into Europe who have 1.75 or lower heights, many from MENA.  In the United States we have almost 25% of our population from Hispanic countries, and they tend to be a lot shorter than the other demographics, maybe 1.68 to 1.70 on average first generation for men.  So that’s also going to impact the future of heights.  Not that I hate immigration at all but it would be silly to pretend this doesn’t have some impact.

I think the truth that young Beijingeses ranging from 20% to 25% are around 180cm can be guaranteed cuz I've ever seen Beijing Medical White Book whose height demographics manifests as 177cm in total of all districts
But Beijing is the tallest region in China and I can say except Beijing,the rest are shorter than Beijing's average height so it's ridiculous to brag that 180 or even 185cm can't tower over junior students although it's true I've seen several junior students in Shanghai over 180cm.But most of them are around 160-173cm and rich nutritions offered in Shanghai will accelerate students' puberty spurts and their growth will cease at 15-16 y.o.
If you misunderstood they could still grow until 25 irrationally,they would also outgrow even Southern Sudaneses,the tallest race in the world at present.
Several days ago,I've again seen a retarded middle-aged lady stating that there are lots of primary pupils over 170cm,either boys or girls....

Maybe I was excessively crazy and incel but I would be disconcerted if I were that short cuz even LL couldn't save me out of height dysphoria.

I learned that demographic standard deviations of Caucasian average height are higher than Asians' and they are around 7-8cm per unit,which means you can see very short people in all occasions and very giant ppl as well.One of my acquaintances residing at Andersen's hometown said he could usually see any man over 180cm and he wouldn't feel strange to men over 200cm in cities with top 5 average heights.But European average heights are not that horrendous and only around 179-183,and Montenegro is the tallest country maintaining 183.8cm average height,having surpassed the Netherlands.
BTW,Balkan peninsula maintains an insanly tall average height at present and I think that's why Meck went insane to lengthen himself by 18cm cuz he is a Bosnian LOL(sorry no offsense to him).

[HateLAPELoveSTEM]

let's say Chineses born in 2030s are on the average height peak and ones born after 2030s will cease to increase average height.
wanna fk some Korean manas also
