Overeem etc... Why the Dutch are the Dutch

[Terrorist]

Overeem has a Dutch mother.
So he has these Dutch genetics.

And even if his mother was also English,
he has lived in Holland so long he built up Dutch genetics.

He looks black so he is black

You might have noticed that somehow most relevant Dutch fighters are heavyweights. The Dutch have been described by the Romans as giants. The Dutch have formed the elite guard of the pope in the middle ages and the Dutch have the longest average height in the world. All in all, the Netherlands house a lot of huge fighters like Overeem, Schilt, Struve etc.

Why?

the answer is genetics, customs and nutrition.

Genetics is a thing that one cannot change. It is just there. The Dutch have evolved on flat, open lands and therefore being tall meant a better view. Just like the Masai in Kenya who live in open spaces. On the other hand, races that live on mountains tend to be stocky and small (like the French).

Riding a bike is the second thing. In Holland, no matter if you own a Rolls Royce, once in a while you grab the bike, and using a car for short distances is frowned upon. Children don't ride the bus to school, they take the bike. This way being active and sportive is embedded in Dutch culture.

Nutrition is the third and maybe most important part. In Holland the traditional meal consists of potatoes, vegetables and meat. We eat that shit every day. It is almost like a bodybuilder diet, the reason why there are not as much obese people in Holland.

Concerning nutrition, one of the key factors in our physical build is the tradition of weekly eating "hamburgers". This is a typical Dutch dish named after the city Hamburg when it was conquered bij Dutch King Willem III in 1756. It basically is a bun cut in half, salad, some baked horsemeat, onions, pickles, salmon and mayonaise.

It is a Dutch tradition to eat hamburgers every saturday to remember king Willem III. The horse meat is very important for muscle growth. I've noticed that most Americans find it weird to eat horse, which amazed me. Eating cow and chicken can never fuel the muscle like a horse does.

Well that is basically what makes the Dutch the Dutch. As always: excuses me if i made any grammar errors, English is not my native language.

Thank you very much.

Old thread but gold!

Oh, innocent TS.
I assume the Serbs, the Bosnians, the Latvians or the Lithuanians have even a better diet since they are even taller.
Bosnians really eat well!

He looks black so he is black

Pretty sure the Dutch men are taller than us, but we do have the tallest women.

In my family, atleast, my grandmothers were both six footers, my mom is 5'9, my wife is 5'10,but my sister is 6'2. That's really common here.

But none of them are Ethnic Latvians, (They're German, Estonian and Kazakh) so it has to be a diet, or something else,you're right.

I am 5'11 and have to look up most of the Time

Europeans are tall in general.

Latvians > Dutc

I was actually laughing of TS's stupidity.
"the dutch eat meat & potatoes" - unlike other countries who despise meat and potatoes
"horse meat > cow meat" - yeah, because banana

Usually, the germanic and scandinavian people are taller than the latin Europeans. That's it! I've been to Netherlands. Yes, they are tall. I am 183cm (200cm on Sherdog, btw, 400 lbs bench) and many of them were as tall as me, others taller, others shorter. But it's not something special, they are not the only ones. Croatians, Scandinavians and others are also tall.

But then what sport do all the tall people play: Volleyball?. The dutch are pretty good at soccer, but I dont see too many huge dutch center forwards or backs like Peter Crouch.

Ice skating, kickboxing, judo, volleyball is relatively popular yeah.

Where in the Netherlands have you been?

 

[Xoleth]

Where in the Netherlands have you been?

Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Utrech

 

[Iroh]

Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Utrech

Especially Amsterdam and Rotterdam are poor representations of the Dutch population because they have huge swats of non-native residents. Rotterdam even has a minority of ethnically Dutch residents. And Amsterdam also is always basically overrun by tourists. Utrecht is a little less, but still has the biggest university in Europe, for example, with a lot of international students coming over all the time and is also just very diverse in general.

Ts should stay in school and read a book

 

[The Rivv]

TS stated the Vatican have Dutch guarding the Pope.

I could be wrong but I’m pretty sure it’s the Swiss Guard that protect the Pope.

Shouldn't be a point of pride to guard the head of s, anyway. So...

 

[Adamant]

Overeem is Dutch? I honestly thought it was an aborigine. Or at least part aboriginal.

 

[johnnybeebob]

Overeem is black. I don't think the Romans met Dutch people like him.

I am pretty sure his dad is Black and mother is Dutch.

 

[rottenapple]

I am pretty sure his dad is Black and mother is Dutch.

You mean Jamaican and Dutch I assume?

 

[pugilistico]

They have some of the funniest accents.

 

[BB in Crazy!!!!]

Overeem isn’t black. He is Dutch. He is just really tan from always riding his bike like the Dutch do. It’s also why they are so tall. Horse meat and bike riding.
