Is tallness common among Polish people?

Sorry But average for a man I would say is 5 10 to 6ft, that extra inch is so important when I have 4 inch heels on women like tall men, I think they like to have that sence of being looked after, protected etc, we all like different things and see things in different ways, I just couldn't see myself with a man that was shorter than me.

I'm 183 cm (6 ft ?) It is pretty much normal here, average height is neither tall nor short compared to other Europeans, but I think It's more diversified, many people much shorter and much taller than average.

Post your picture, we will check out If we could wear heels for you...

Just over 6ft, a good height for a man Like you say it all depends Im 172 but I have friends that are much shorter and much taller

Hmmm I dont think Im looking for a man to wear heels for me, that's not really the kind of man I would go for

Don't be so pervertphobic...

What? He's 183 cm and he has a good height for a man, and I with my 181 cm am a short repellent and weak midget! How cruel!


Would you at least consider to wear one inch smaller heels for me? I'm maybe short by at least broad and I use my small legs like a bloody Baryshnikov! Even wear the same tights!

Sorry. At least you've got nice pants.

What?!

Seriously? I can't believe how tall people are over there. Even Matyjasz who is considered short in Poland is considered tall here in the US, at least in Los Angeles. I guess it's because there are many people here from Mexico and other Latin American countries and also many Asians (especially in my neighborhood) and most of them are not very tall. But even the Polish people here are not very tall.

As for me, I'm a midget compared to all of you. I'm 5 ft. 2 inches. I don't know how to convert to cm but I used an online converter and it says it's 157.48 cm. It's 62 inches total.

i am comfortably over 6 ft and consider myself above average hight in the uk and poland - i know people as tall, and taller, than me but this is not the norm

I am feeling smaller by the minute.

ahhh... but good things come in small packages...

Don't worry, we love you anyway

Girls are taller these days, Im average height at 172 but see young girls who are 183 and that is quite common place, maybe Americans are slightly shorter than their European counterparts. Im attracted to tall men and not short men, I have already mentioned that it all comes down to how you perceive things, Im quite tall so see men that are under 182 as short.



now I didn't say that, and I can see from your picture that you are certainly not a short repellent, weak midget. As for men in tights, no thanks they're in the bracket as men with high heels...

Thank you, Grzegorz.

We call women like that "Amazon women".

Thats funny because we generally call them models here

Both of my Mother's Father's parents were from Poland. My maternal Grandfather(my Mother's Father) was very short. He was about 5'5,at the tallest.His hair was black,and he never lost any of his hair. His eyes were Hazel. His skin was very dark. I remember him having a very slight yellowish color to his skin. But his skin was very brown. His Brother and Sister were both blonde headed and blue eyes. They were both his full blooded siblings. He changed his name in the military to make it sound more American. I am not going to spell his last name. Because,his Brother is still alive,and lives in Massachusetts.
He was born in Massachusetts. His Mother never denied or confirmed to being Jewish.
But,we believe we are sure she was born a Jew. I have noticed that a lot of Polish people are light complected. I have read that Huns invaded Poland,and that they were Mongolian. I believe that is where he got his looks. But,I don't know for sure. If anyone has any idea,please tell me. I have allways been very interested in history,and genealogy.

i just wanted a general answer, like mostly seafood or different types of meats. that sort of stuff




yeah a country can't be labelled tall ot short, but areas can. Most countries around the Baltic tend to have taller people, while the mediterranean countries have shorter people. On Average of course.

Thank you, BubbaWoo.

My bf is 6ft 5. I am 6ft 1. Hes Polish and I am British, but most people think Im Dutch or German...not sure this is representative, but just thought Id share..

Hehe.. More like a she-puppy then.

Alright, I'm about 176 cm tall, and I'm considered to be a somewhat shorter than average fellow in Holland. You shouldn't pin me down on this one, but I think the average height here would be 185 cm.

You would change your mind after seeing me dance wearing them.



All my girlfriends were about this size. I like petit women.

It all depends on our genes. Okay, my father's family is tall. His parents were 6'9(205cm) and 6'5 (196cm). My father and I are both 6'1 (186cm) and my youger sister 6'0(183cm).
Now, my mother side of the family is average I think. My mom is 5'7(170cm) and my oldest sister is 5'8 (173cm). My son who just turned 11 is as tall as my oldest sister and still growning.

Like I said it's all in the genes.

Yes, Poles are a tall people. Just about every dude in my family is in the mid to high 6' range.

OLD THREAD ALERT

It's also in things like diet during upbringing.

I know a tall Pole.
I know a short Pole.
I know one who bangs his head on the ceiling.
I know one when he's stnding it looks like he's kneeling.

my greatx4 grandmother was about 5'10 when the common height for women was 5'0 but i dont know what she was

Czechs are the tallest Slavs.Then come Poles.Czechs taller than Poles who are taller than Ukrainians who are taller than Russians.It is like that.
Tallest nations in Europe Dutch and Swedish.Then come the Slavs,that is the Czechs and Slovaks.Germans have the same height as Poles(except northern Germans who look like Dutch),so in european continent the tallest are the Dutch and Swedish,second are the Czechs,Slovaks and Serbs,third the Germans and Poles.
This is obvious if you cross the one country and go to the other.
