        162cm is average for women where you live with the other gnomes in your mushroom village?

              Nope.

              The CDC NHANES figure for adult women in the United States is 161.3 cm (5 ft 3.5 in). That’s approximately the global average. Dutch women, at 170.4 cm, are the tallest national average on record.

              Ok we get it you are Dutch and so on average taller than everybody else. But no need to be so dismissive with that attitude.
