Lots of little people on the lounge ;P Me 193 cm = 6' 4" her 166 cm = 5' 5" dif 27 cm = 11" And even I have to look up to a lot of my fellow country men to look them in the eyes: they're over 200 cm = 6' 8"! VictorV

Really!?! :omg: I always figured that the Netherlands would probably be like my family reuniouns. (I am from HUGE, mostly Norweigan family.) The vast majority of us are 6' 4" tall, (plus or minus an inch), with only a couple of guys significantly taller. How common are people of the lofty 6' 8" + heights there? Are any of them Ladies? ;) I have always wanted to move to the Netherlands, considering my weakness for tall women that would be just one more reason. :laugh: Jason Jystad Cito Technologies www.citotech.net Sonork ID 100.9918 >-------------------------------------------------< Every program has at least one bug and can be shortened by at least one instruction -- from which, by induction, one can deduce that every program can be reduced to one instruction that doesn't work. >-------------------------------------------------<

OK, it's my turn to start a thread that gathers insignificant data about Lounge dwellers. I was wondering what the difference in height is between Lounge dwellers and their partners.

(Any viking ancestors?) :omg: The current Dutch youth is quite tall. How common are people of the lofty 6' 8" + heights there? Are any of them Ladies? I have always wanted to move to the Netherlands, considering my weakness for tall women that would be just one more reason. Like I said, the current youth is quite tall, even the girls! I don't have the true facts, but some of the girls approach my height with a few even top me! I do think your choice would be somewhat limited, considering you weakness. (how about this tall blond, a friend of mine) But, as the Dutch girls are the best looking in the world :) (at least my opinion), do migrate! VictorV

Victor Vogelpoel wrote: I suppose you wear funny pointy hats on the reunions? (Any viking ancestors?) :laugh: no, no pointy hats that I have ever noticed. As far as vikings go, who knows, lots of farmers and craftsmen in the family tree but that doesn't mean there aren't a few of the pillaging variety too. :) Victor Vogelpoel wrote: (how about this tall blond, a friend of mine Holy mackerel!

A good friend of mine has actually spent some time in various parts of Europe and he said the same thing. And he is from the same part of America as I am, so he doesn't even have the native bias going. :) I actually really would like to spend some time living in Europe, and the Netherlands would be my first choice. Heck, if I like the Netherlands half as much as I suspect I would I would probably want to move there permanently. :) Any idea how hard it is to get citizenship or at least resident alien status there?

Because it's true! I spent my entire youth being the shortest guy around, and the ladies have always pursued the big guys. And they almost always were treated very badly by my standards. But they never got one bit smarter... In reality, I'd actually suggest going where you're loved and appreciated, regardless of height or any other irrelevant factor. It must be nice to have a choice - I've never experienced that.

If you look at my signature you will see that the first line is my name, second is Australia and the third is my email address. I have always openly stated I am male, Australian and aggressive. Only Christian has cast any doubt due to Australians need to shit stir each other. Also Colin but that is due to his jealousy of being stuck in New Zealand with sheep while I and most of his country men bask in the great Aussie sunshine. :-D Michael Martin Australia mjm68@tpg.com.au "Don't belong.

This doesn't suprise me, all the shots I have seen of SA have been lovely. I would love to visit there someday. I don't know if I could live there or not, I have discovered that I not only like big cities but that I also like dense cities. I am living in a VERY big city right now, but I am about to move because it is so sprawling that it gets on my nerves. Phoenix has 7 or so million people, but the density is very low because it is not constrained geopolitically. It is cheaper to build sideways than up and we have a ways to go before that changes. I am moving back to Seattle for now, the weather isn't as good but I prefer the city. Victor Vogelpoel wrote: Netherlands is full", indicating the many fugitives that want citizenship here Yeah, I had heard that this was the case. It is too bad, because I would love to live and work abroad and out of all the cities I have looked at Amsterdam would be my first choice. Eveything I have seen and been told says that Amsterdam is dense, cultured, and beautiful. I have known some natives, and they have always been "my kind of people" as the saying goes - not taking things too seriously and doing their best to enjoy life and yet still acomplishing things that have to be admired. Ah well, we shall see. I am not in a position to move overseas right this instant anyways. Political climates ebb and flow, I will wait and see what it is like when I am able to actually go there. Victor Vogelpoel wrote: I knew you would like Mirella. Indeed, one would have to be dead not to appreciate a lady as beautiful as that. :) Convey my complements and thanks. Her picture brightened up my day significantly. For that matter, remembering it as I wrote this made me smile. :) Jason Jystad Cito Technologies www.citotech.net Sonork ID 100.9918 >-------------------------------------------------< Every program has at least one bug and can be shortened by at least one instruction -- from which, by induction, one can deduce that every program can be reduced to one instruction that doesn't work. >-------------------------------------------------<
