If You’re Looking For A Tall Man, Move Out Of NYC
Dating in NYC is already hard enough. But if you’re committed to finding a tall man, New York City might not be the best place to look. In fact you’d have better luck in states like Montana, South Dakota, Alabama, Tennessee, Utah and Nebraska.
According to Newsweek using information from Data Pandas, the average height for men in New York is 5’9.8 ft (177.29 cm). When analyzing the average male height across the nation however, the aforementioned states including Montana, South Dakota, Alabama, Tennessee, Utah and Nebraska took first place with the average male height of 5’10.6 ft—maybe all that corn is really doing something!
And though western states have proven to raise the tallest men on average in the country, Hawaii (5’9 ft) and California (5’9.4 ft) are the outliers with the shortest men.
When looking at a global scale, the overall American male average height tops out at 5’9.7 ft. This makes the USA 47th in the global ranking for average male height. In fact, the Dutch lead the world in average male height, reaching 6’0.4 ft.
It’s particularly complex to understand which factors ultimately lead to greater height, be it nutrition, lifestyles or regional demographics. You can read more from the study here.
