I happen to be 2 m (6'6) tall and French-Irish. When I used to go out with a Scandinavian social club in California, we were always far taller than everyone else. More than 0.25 m difference in height makes for difficult conversation, so there's a tendency to only talk to other sized people. I also know a British guy that is 2.3 m tall and a Stanford chick whos 2.5 m (how does one get a date if you're ungainly tall?). Perhaps in a millennia, humans will be 4 m tall on average?

Let me get this straight - the "Stanford chick" you know is the tallest woman in history? (qv. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tallest_people#Women)

He probably meant 2.05m (2 meters and 5 centimeters).
