It doesn’t seem that uncommon to see a 6 ft tall women any more. I guess they’ll be as tall as the men in a century or two.

Another interesting side note: The average woman was like 141 in the 1960’s and the average man was like 163. Now the average woman is 170 and the average man is 195. This means that men are larger than women by a smaller percentage than they were before.

Everyone is getting taller on average, and the tall are likely getting even taller due to height not only being an acceptable, but attractive, attribute among women.

Everyone is getting taller. My daughter is almost 5'5" at 12. I might have made another evil little thing

She might be close to being done growing taller. How tall are you and your wife?

Taller, hairier, more muscular, and with a y chromosome too.

Go ahead, blame that one on boomers too!

Girls stop growing a lot earlier than men. It wouldn't be surprising that she's about done.

Humans in general are getting taller on average. However both men and women are getting fatter at a much higher rate.

I thought girls grew until about 16 and boys about 18?

The average weight for a woman in 2019 is the same average weight as a man in 1969.

I think it's a statistical floor problem. A grown woman can only weigh so little, but there is really no ceiling, so the average gets skewed up. It's the same kind of issue you see with "average" salaries for a profession. At this point, median would be vastly more useful.

I blame the readily available, steroid and antibiotic ridden 22 pound chickens.

Nothing wrong with a tall woman. If she is comfortable with her height, that is even better.
