    How is a 1.6m man useful for scale? That height is in the lowest 1% of males. Choosing someone of that height and putting them next to the woman is purely done to exaggerate the difference. This photo is just staged to be eye catching and make her look freakish.

    She is in the top percentile for women but comparing her with the bottom percentile for men is nonsense. She should be in a photo with a man of average height.

      This photo was staged.

      Fucking genius. Also, here is another picture of a tiny person next to a large person. Try not to get bothered.

      The average dude, by all global heights, not location/ethnicity specific…

      Is 5’ 10", 178cm.

      Anna is still taller than 99.98%-99.99% of adult men.

      She is literally off the charts by female metrics, she is one of the tallest women alive.

      Yes, the photo is obviously done to play up the anomaly factor, but she is still a giant, even compared to an average man, nearly a whole foot taller.

        When I was in college we had a volleyball player who was 6’ 7” and I stood by her one day, the only time I felt short next to a woman.

      Because short people are real? And you also know he is 1.6m tall, you can do math too.
