Is dutch height exagerrated?
There is a big Nature study showing that native dutch people in their 20s are around 1m72 for women and 1m84 for men.(

Now for northern dutchies its like 1 to 2 cm taller. So like 1m73 for women and 1m86 for men for example.
But online you hear people saying I'm a 1m90 man and I feel short here, or all the women in my class are 1m80 or taller etc. How is this possible? I kinda feel like people(dutch people as well) kinda exaggerate the hight of people in their country....
