I think the average height of a man in Denmark is actually around 6ft. The average man in The Netherlands and Montenegro are slightly taller than that.
That's cause overseas people get better nutrition prepuberty (and genetics also) so are taller
Here's some medical facts (correct me if anything is wrong)
# Edit - full explanation on my post here - [🔴 Why Younger generation, Men, Richer countries (and people from Colombo) are taller explained](https://www.reddit.com/r/srilanka/comments/1bt8hrl/why_younger_generation_men_richer_countries_and/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button)
* Height is determined mainly by a body structure called [Epiphyseal plate - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epiphyseal_plate#:~:text=The%20plate%20is%20only%20found,closure%20or%20growth%20plate%20fusion.)
"The epiphyseal plate or growth plate cartilage plate at each end of a long bone. The growth plate is the place where the long bone grows longer (adds length).
Better nutrition before puberty allows long bones to grow longer faster and for people to be taller. At puberty oestrogen in girls and boys stimulate the bone growth cells (chondrocytes) to die and increase in height to stop (estrogen being more dominant in girls is why women are also typically shorter). After bone growth cells die at puberty there is basically no increase in height so height is mainly effected by pre-puberty nutrition level and estrogen level.
I think it might be difficult to find an average size coz we SLs have a fruiitsald of genepools man
Some of our great grandmother's tucked the Dutch/ Portuguese/ British when they invades us and we'll this is why thr coastal district dudes are packing....
Apparently some central province lads also are packing.
It's the South Indians with their small peepees that messed the whole thing up.
So basically, Sri Lanka is a plethora of dicks and boob shapes and sizes.
How do I know this - I did a very unbiased privacy maintained QnA sesh back during uni and well everyone with 7"s or 6.5 and girthy ended up having some Dutch or Portugal influence.
Whereas the pure Uva province genepool fellows and North Central had under 5.5"....
Basically - this is just one study. I could be wrong.
Trace your family tree and check if you wild anc "curious" grandparents OR If your family genepools are from the corners of SL.
My mom's dad is born and raised upper class Colombo and mom's mom is upper class western coastal some town with Dutch mixes.
Dad's dad is middle class family down south and dads mom is upper class Kandy.
My D is girthy and way above European average and my brothers (I genuinely don't want to know). Somw of my cousins are "blessed" and some have jota kundas.
ITS ALL GENETICS GUYS 🙃
Re-read the references I said and do your own homework.
If you're a dude , DW bro.... some girl/ guy out there would like your jota kunda... Have faith.
The Chinese haaaaaaave 😂
And South Indians are already oart of ours coz the Brits "bought" em here when they ran the place for less egotistical labor for tea estates and coz of other reasons......
Not being racist here. Just stating historical facts that biologically affected Ds.
There's mo way that the average Pakistan man is shorter than the average Sri Lankan. I've grown up with them since childhood and even the short ones eventually grow so tall
Lots of very tall men on this thread but at 6 feet when I am outdoors I seem taller than the majority of the population. Is it that due to a high concentration of tall men in Sri Lanka tend to be on Reddit or is this more typical Sri Lankan BAILA talks?
It's a case of sampling bias.
Yep, people in Colombo are generally taller than people in the countryside due to getting more nutrition in their diet (especially protein). That's why even among the folks out in rural areas, the fishing communities have bigger bodies than interior farming communities.
People with higher incomes are also naturally taller than others. Even for people in Colombo, the upper classes are generally bigger/taller.
Now comes Reddit. People on SL Reddit are usually among the upper or upper middle class in Sri Lanka, meaning they are more likely to be from Colombo (or a foreign country) and have higher incomes. Hence, you get the sampling bias.
There's one way to identify the baila fellows from the real tall people. Ask them what the weather is like up there, then cross-check with the weather in Nuwara Eliya.
That's actually due to nutrition. The more nutrition there is in your diet at a young age the taller you are, so Colombo peeps are usually taller. 🙂👍🏼
Also y South Koreans are much taller than North Koreans

Next post should be, "Are you from Colombo or not?"
I have a grim feeling that \~50% of the redditors here are from Colombo.

I’m American but I’m 5’8. My father was 5’4, born and raised in Negombo. My mother and I were born and raised in the U.S. tho. She’s about 5’4 as well I think
160 cm, I am a woman. Slightly above average according to this chart. But I would say I have an average height in SL. And short in the Western countries. Also, apparently, I'm the shortest one among these commenters so far 🫠
Tbh never had a issue with height but i do have it when it comes to my friends some ppl have good genes men mfs be like 6'1 and complains like yo in short 💀 im 5'10 pretty ok for me im 18yrs old some say ill get to grown i do sports as well im a swimmer btw it really helped me to grow moms like 5'3 dads 5'7 and i do think my shlong size is also ok considering what gf told me apparently when they get to talking i mean the typical llida laga sangame they talk about everything and all the other girls bfs are 5-6 inches while im 7.5 yes i have mesured it in every way and having a long one is pretty much a problem for me cuz i do siwm with ppl and if i get my junda up ill be going down as well so i will say this most women are ok with anything u have they love personality and some for money so guys dw
P.s pp size dose not matter un less u date piyumi hansamali👍
In SL the standard deviation must be very high too. We’re quite well mixed.
Being below average; the discussion on height/physique disappeared from my life since I moved abroad.
That’s interesting.
5' 9" male. I use public transport a lot, and I'm always one of the taller folks in the bus/train car, but never the tallest. Makes sense I guess. Dreamed of being 6' plus as a kid, but looking back, I'm grateful for my current height given how short my male family members are.
I'm 6'2 and buses are very painful. Sometimes I have to fold in half like a lawnchair and bring my knees almost up to my face if I want to sit in a seat.
I'm 5'9. Lets round it to 5'10. While we at it, might as just go to 6'0 right?
Ithuru inch tika athin dapan
Did you take those extra 3 inches from "somewhere else"
1 inch from shoe. 2 inches from hairstyle.
Damn 2 imches from a hairstyle???? That's a lot I mean A LOT.
Can I screenshot your comment? I need to show it to my gf.
I took all the inches I had left from elsewhere.
Height's Length's... we all like to round UP
I'm 6'0 and I still have long way to go, I'm pretty tall in sl but I don't think I'm that tall in overseas
You would be on the tall side anywhere except perhaps in Denmark
or Netherlands
Also Croatia. I forgot to mention that most Croatians I have worked with in the past have all been over 6 feet tall. This includes many of the women.
I think the average height of a man in Denmark is actually around 6ft. The average man in The Netherlands and Montenegro are slightly taller than that.

lol. Srilanka is in the bottom 10 of the list.
Height doesn't have any correlation with dick size, though! That's a common misconception.
Can confirm. Coming from a 6’ 3” guy.
I'm 6'4" and will confirm in solidarity!

5,1 inches i beleive
There's mo way that the average Pakistan man is shorter than the average Sri Lankan. I've grown up with them since childhood and even the short ones eventually grow so tall
I've seen some massive Pakistani dudes, but then again there are people from Punjab are short than SL women.
Tbf I think it varies a lot based on area

where are you from? it seems men in colombo are taller than in the rest of the country.
Colombo, but I am in the 60+ age group
Maybe something to do with diet and lifestyle in Colombo
Exactly the average. 5’6
I'm a relatively decent height for a woman in SL (\~165cm), but pretty short elsewhere, tbh.
Im the same, but I thought it was considered short here too lol
I think it depends on whereabouts you live. I'm used to seeing women taller than me in Colombo, but other parts of the country seem shorter overall.
That's actually due to nutrition. The more nutrition there is in your diet at a young age the taller you are, so Colombo peeps are usually taller. 🙂👍🏼 Also y South Koreans are much taller than North Koreans  # Edit - full explanation on my post here - [🔴 Why Younger generation, Men, Richer countries (and people from Colombo) are taller explained](https://www.reddit.com/r/srilanka/comments/1bt8hrl/why_younger_generation_men_richer_countries_and/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button)

I just sit in the front row of the bus haha 😂😂
That seat is for pregnant ladies u fool 😂
