According to the website elifesciences.org/, being taller is associated with enhanced longevity; and higher education and earnings. 1472 population-based studies with measurement of height on more than 18.6 million participants indicate that the tallest men are born in the Netherlands, whose average height surpass 182.5 cm, while the shortest women are born in Guatemala and grow to become only 140.3 cm.  |

I think their study is flawed.

You may be correct, Joey , we never know, but I though it was funny with such big differences. There is about a foot between me and my wife (Norwegian male - Brazilian female), while - if we can trust the study - an average Dutch guy would have to look down at his Guatemalan partner by twice that much.  |

Tall men do turn me on for sure I have a thing for height ...and you're obviously not alone, since the height of an average human is steadily growing. Well, to be honest, the father's gene pool is just one of several contributing factors. Better nutrition and health care must share the credit.  |

I think I'm getting shorter as I get older.

For sure. I was measured to 192 centimeters for many years, until I was walking around the Italian city Brindisi while Lys was at the hairdresser's. I passed by the train station and its cargo part, where there was a device that weighed and measured packages, which I had to try. To my great surprise, I noticed that I had shrunk 1 centimeter and I have since confirmed it. What happens, is that as one grows older, the spine becomes slightly compressed.  |

191 cm is about 6 feet and 4 inches. I have lost 0.4 inches since my prime. LOL
