@Speel,

In my experience, the Dutch seem to be unfeasibly tall in general.  Some time back I dated this Dutch girl who was the shortest in her family but was eye to eye with me in flat shoes.  

Over in sunny England I'm a not unreasonable 5ft 11", but in Holland everyone seems to tower above me.

I have a theory that the Dutch are so tall out of genetic necessity, after all it's a country prone to flooding...

That said, I'm 6'4" and most of my male friends from my home town are 6ft or above.
In fact, some of the female ones are tall too, one of them being 5ft 11

I had a worrying realisation just now...  There's a full twelve inches height difference between the last girl I was seeing (a positively amazonian 6ft 2") and the lass I'm dating now (a very petite 5ft 2").

I wonder if they'd refund me the cuban heels (joke)?

Btw. you English must be the most pale people in the world.

and what's wrong with that? pale is good. i only say that because i have the complexion of a corpse. :lol:

as to being tall: i had this constant problem growing up that i never fit in clothes made for girls. i gave up and wore guy's pants. (I even know my shoe size in men's: 7 1/2 - isn't that sick???)

I'm not a big fan of feeling my skin burning in strong sunlight so I'm one of those who's pale and proud too.

Cecila, 7 1/2 in a US size is equivalent to 6 1/2 here which is truly in the realms of girlie sized feet.  Maybe we Brits have big feet or something?  I take an 11 (US size 12), two of my mates take an 11 also and there's one guy who's a (UK) sized 14!

I had a female pal at college who was on the slim side of slender and happened to have size 8 feet.  When wearing Doc Martens she resembled a golf club side on...

makes me think of those big dogs that as puppies have really oversized, sloppy feet  :-D

i may not have really big feet - but when i was a girl i was bigger first. and wearing size 9 1/2 to 10 was considered large. alot of folks have caught up to me by now. anyway, my feet don't look big. they and my ankles are my best features.

Big feet have their advantages, I'm a pretty mean swimmer too!

Except if you have a gay sex pest who drinks in your local who keeps looking at your feet and saying, you know what they say about big feet, nudge nudge, wink wink.

There is one thing true about guys with big feet:

It's bloody impossible to find decent shoes that fit.  Worse still, something that looks good in a size nine looks like a pair of flippers in an eleven...

You heard it here first.
