French instead of Nordic bloodlines. Visit the Midwest, everyone is fricking huge


Not everyone. Have a few friends that are only around 5'8".

I'm 6'4". And yes, Nordic blood.

After compression fractured vertebrae, I'm 6ft flat

And I am easily the tallest person in my family.

I blame the French.

Germanic blood line is most attractive blood line. The variance of options alone in that blood line is quite remarkable.

All these assholes are lying. It takes a short fricker to stir a pot of gratons for 2 hours.

The families that came down from Quebec must have been a short group overall.

Folks in South Louisiana are overall pretty short compared to other parts of the country. North Louisiana is overall taller with the WASP factor

I will say that most 5'7" baws in South Louisiana think they are 6'8" after only one beer

French people aren’t short though.....

There average height is he exact same as an American male

5’ 9.5”

French are kinda short and thin. Taller in the northern parts near Germany. When I was in France I noticed less height deviation. Like everyone was average height, as opposed to here in Texas where I see a lot of men well over 6ft but then see some short ones, and all the Mexican dudes are short.

Now that I think of it, I think it’s the men of Mediterranean and Hispanic descent that brings down the American average.

French descendants. The French are generally shorter in stature. North of Alexandria, grant parish area, white people are tall as frick.

A lot of little sawed off Frenchmen in south Louisiana. Napoleonic complex with Cajun blood equals LSU fan. It's the stick that stirs the drink down there.
