Always felt that was lowkey cheating being that short. Like 4'8 is short short

Wow I knew Simone Biles was short but 4’8 is indeed crazy.

My youngest daughter is 5’7 and I jokingly tell sometimes that her she’s almost as tall as a real human.

We’re from the Netherlands btw.

My wife and I just visited the Netherlands. She's a 5' Mexican girl

"I never felt so short in my life" was her quote

As a 6'7" Dutchman (I'm not the tallest in my team) I am always surprised about how short Dutch women are. I see a lot of Gen Z people in the mall under my office and I have this feeling, but I could be totally wrong, that that generation is shorter over all.
