Well, I’ve always been curious about how different height perceptions are in various countries. So, I decided to dig into the question of whether 1.87 meters is considered tall in different places.
First, I started my research by hitting up the internet. I googled like crazy, looking through travel forums, cultural blogs, and even some random social media posts. I was trying to find real – life experiences from people living in different countries about what they think of a 1.87 – meter – tall person.
I found out that in the Netherlands, the average height for men is around 1.83 meters. So, when I say 1.87 meters there, it’s just slightly above average. It’s like being in a crowd of basketball players, and you’re just a tiny bit taller. You won’t stand out too much. I mean, you’re still tall, but it’s not like you’re a giant.
Then I looked into Japan. The average height for Japanese men is about 1.72 meters. So, at 1.87 meters, you’d definitely stand out like a sore thumb. People would probably stare a bit, and you might have some trouble fitting into small spaces like traditional Japanese houses or cramped trains. It’s like being a big bear in a small cave.
I also checked out some African countries. In some parts of Africa, height can vary a lot. In countries like Sudan, the average height for men is around 1.76 meters. So, 1.87 meters would be pretty tall. But in other areas, there are tribes where people are generally taller, and 1.87 meters might be just an ordinary height.
To get more accurate info, I even reached out to some friends who live abroad. I messaged them on WhatsApp and asked them directly about the height perception in their countries. One of my friends in Argentina said that 1.87 meters is considered quite tall there. People would look up to you, literally and figuratively.
After all this research, I realized that height perception is really a cultural thing. It depends on the average height of the population in a particular country. What’s tall in one place might be just average in another.
So, if you’re 1.87 meters tall and planning to travel, just be prepared for different reactions. You might be the norm in one country and a giant in another. It’s all part of the fun of exploring different cultures!
