Just curious. Most middle eastern and north african men I see here are fairly short. But Egyptian men seemed taller. Egyptian women still seemed somewhat shorter to me as well.

I heard height and length are important. Especially length. LOL! If you volunteered height, please go ahead and volunteer length. Posts: 989 | Registered: Aug 2004

Someone should run the poll. Please include all sizes. - medium ( it's ok, I am happy, she is VERY happy) - large ( it's "oh my God", it's wonderful, irresistable ) - small ( well, it's not ok but I am technican. )
Or you can do in numbers, whatever you want. Volunteers who gave height should go first.

Wow.
LOL! Pleeeeeeeeease, everybody knows that Somali people are the tallest on the planet.
Most Somali men are over 6ft tall. My daddy is 6ft3 and my brother is 6ft4. Unfortunately though, I'm only 5ft8 I so could have been a model if I were taller, and a non-muslim. But thank God I AM a muslim.

Show me documented proof of this and not just your anecdotal evidence, and I might change my mind.

My Egyptian is 185cm (6'1) but most of the others I know aren't much taller than me, 167cm (5'6).

Snoozin, you don't seem to have any proof either. You only "hear" that Dutchmen are tall.

Cheffie (Egyptian) is about 184cm, and I'm 177cm (English). In Egypt I thought the range of heights was greater than England (I saw more really short men, about 160cm, but I also saw more taller men) so I guess the average is about the same, 173-175cm - most men in England are shorter than me (despite the fact a lot of them claim to be 182cm - they aren't!)

Actually, MaliG is correct about Somalis and they tend to be very tall and slim people. Another tall people are Nilotic people in Southern Sudan. Most are generally very tall with a very slim frame. You might remeber the basketball player Manute Bol was a Nilotic person from Southern Sudan.
Here is some information:
Although persons of Nilotic tribes in southern Sudan are among the tallest in the world, this genetic characteristic should not substantially influence WFH (in contrast to height-for-age).
However, you also have to taken into consideration that height is many times influenced by nutrition. Height can change in various populations so it should be be used soley as an ethnic marker.
You do realize that the following website is a right-wing white supremist website right? Not saying the article is incorrect but thats not the best place to get information from.

Yes I do mind. You should not give white supremist advertisement on a web forum that gets lots of hits.

This an interesting topic. When I left Egypt, I was probably around 6'6 (~167cm). I came back three years later at 6'2 (~189cm) and my friends were blown away. They thought it was because of the American beef or something
Do guys think were not utilzing our full genetic capability in Egypt? Posts: 44 | From: USA | Registered: Apr 2005

Do you think you're in trouble there? I'm 180 and still wearing high heels (10cm at least) Try to picture me in your mind! This way i can look down to people without being condescendent! {[giggle]) Sometimes, whem i'm in a room with men with average height i'm a little bit embarrassed (for them not for me), but they don't give a s**t about that. They simply love tall women!
