Even in Europe 6 foot is actually quite tall
I'm here in the UK visiting my inlaws, I do this regularly and have previously lived here as well. I'm from the Netherlands and i'm 1.87m. Except for my inlaws (who are all exceptionally tall) i'm almost always a fair bit taller than most people i see. I can say the same for all the other 26 European countries i've visited for work/travel & lived in bar NL & Northen Germany
The reason I posted this is because i see so many comments in this sub where mostly US based posters claim practically everyone in Europe is at least 6' 2 or 6' is now just average. As a European who has travelled extensively through Europe this really sisnt true
