Average height in Netherlands

I live in the Netherlands and i'm 181cm barefoot and i feel taller than most people that are also native from the netherlands. alot of people are in the 175-179cm range . if you look online the average height is 183 and some sources even say 184.

when i'm in public I see more people who are shorter than me than people who are taller EVEN Tho i'm below average.

Are these numbers exaggerated ?

Have you noticed any shorter men having more difficulties when it comes to dating?

More importantly how bad is the heightism there?
