Amsterdam. I got to go there last year, and it was amazing. I'm tall, and there I feel normal (and get talked to in Dutch occasionally, although I don't speak a word!). I also love how matter of fact they are, I'm the same way! Although I would probably want to visit a number of places or cycle like a snowbird.

- hiram112 6y ago> I'm tall, and there I feel normal I've enjoyed numerous trips to the Netherlands, but one thing I did NOT like is that, as a 5'10 guy who dresses like a typical American (i.e. not so well), I felt even shorter and less attractive than the very well dressed, handsome, and uber-tall Dutch men. I know it's silly, but it does create an inferiority complex. It wasn't as bad living in German, but it still made me realize that there is a huge advantage to being bigger, stronger, than average. When I lived in India, not only did I enjoy the benefits of being white, but I was also taller and far 'bigger' and stronger than most other males, due to 30 years of eating more protein. Which is kind of interesting now that we're all talking about our dream locations. I would definitely choose somewhere where 5'10" is taller than average and caucasians / Westerners get an automatic status bump. It does make life easier.
- cbanek 6y agoThat's really interesting, thanks for the insight. I think I have the same issue that you do, only in reverse! ;) I'm a 6' tall woman flat-footed, so here in the states, I feel like some kind of redwood tree.
