The Dutch may be tall, but do they meet your other criteria too? See for yourself.
A Closer Look at the Dutch Data:
Age distribution: Balanced across age groups — 12% of the adult female population is aged 18–24, while 19% is 65 and older.
Marriage & children: Netherlands follows a nordic (later marriage, high cohabitation, lower formal marriage rates) pattern. Among Dutch women aged 25–29, roughly 65% are unmarried and 70% don't have children yet.
Income: Earnings brackets come from Dutch full-time female worker data. The national median sits at €38,000, and the top 5% earns €100,000+.
Body type: National health surveys put the Dutch female obesity rate at 16%. That leaves 84% of women classified as not obese. Within that group, 42% are in the normal BMI range and 43% are on the slimmer end.
Height: The average Dutch woman is 168 cm (5'6").
Sexuality: High identification (high social acceptance) — about 96% of Dutch women identify as straight or bisexual, and 90% as exclusively straight.
Eye & hair color: Blue (35%), Brown (30%), Green (15%), Hazel (12%), Gray (8%). Hair: Brown (45%), Blonde (25%), Black (22%), Red (6%).
The bottom line: Here's the pattern we see over and over: people are confident going in and humbled coming out. A sub-1% result doesn't mean your standards are wrong — it means the math of compounding is brutal. Identify the one or two filters doing the most damage and decide if they're truly non-negotiable.
