Artaxias Posted September 21, 2005 Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 The Ossetian women are very pretty. No wonder so many of our ancient kings married their ancestors the Alans. Satenik is an Alanian name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arpa Posted September 21, 2005 Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 They all look five feet tall or shorter.I like tall women style_images/master/snapback.png Armat, may be you should go to Amazonia or Masai-land in Kenya where the women are tall and statuesque. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Takoush Posted September 21, 2005 Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 They all look five feet tall or shorter.I like tall women style_images/master/snapback.png Armat: Of course. In the 1800's everyone was shorter. Haven't you noticed even how Armenians got taller? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SanVal Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 Armat: Of course. In the 1800's everyone was shorter. Haven't you noticed even how Armenians got taller? I think people in the US are getting shorter, though...no doubt due to immigration. I remember I looked it up about 10 years ago, and the average height for women was 5'4. Now I hear it's 5'3...I'm finally average. I lived in Minnesota for 3 years, and they have many more tall girls than here in California. Go to the upper Midwest, Armat.

SanVal Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 The sleeping woman I'm looking at you, You are sleeping quiet, Your crystal breast Is making me dieing. I hear it is moving Nicely and gently, And your heart is beating With its honest ethics. Your tender cheeks Are red as a fire, And lips made from ruby Are covered by smile. Your sleep is magnific As vision of Heavens, And shadows of Angels Are covering its innocence. Your breathing is pure Like you and your soul too, He is the happiest Whom you belong to! What does "is making me dieing" mean? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yervant1 Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 IMO whoever wrote this poetry is thinking in another language. I think "dieing" mispelled meant to be dying so the whole sentence would probably mean "It's killing me" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eva Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 The sleeping woman I'm looking at you, You are sleeping quiet, Your crystal breast Is making me dieing.

Your sleep is magnific As vision of Heavens, And shadows of Angels Are covering its innocence. Your breathing is pure Like you and your soul too, He is the happiest Whom you belong to!

DominO Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 I think people in the US are getting shorter, though...no doubt due to immigration.

I lived in Minnesota for 3 years, and they have many more tall girls than here in California. Go to the upper Midwest, Armat. I doubt it, immigration can't explain it, while it is true that some are taller than others, African Americans, Europeans etc., Russians etc., are all in average taller than the average American, and there is no selective immigration of one group in particular which could explain a 1 inch difference, even not excessive Chinese immigration. Some other factors such as environment should probably be where to look at first (I am talking about average), factors such as life expectency increase, food intake etc., are all factors which alone could explain a sgnificant difference.

SanVal Posted November 18, 2006 Report Share Posted November 18, 2006 Well, you live in Canada, where the demographics are very different. Here in the US, the fastest growing group of immigrants are Hispanics, and, on average, they're definitely shorter than most white Americans. I live in a predominantly Mexican neighborhood, where that's very evident. In Minnesota, in contrast, there are lots of people of Scandinavidan (especially Swedish) and German descent, and it's overall a much whiter state than California. Hence, the height difference.
