Why do I always keep hearing that short girls want to marry a guy who's tall so their kids would be tall?
Don't they know that, though genetics, height is PASSED DOWN THROUGH THE MOTHERS SIDE? Case in point, me. My dad is 5'10" and my mom is 5'1". I'm a 5'5" 23 yr old male Stanford psychology student. Subsequently, I have remained a virgin, never had a girlfriend, and had to suffer my mothers repugnant genetic sins and live life as a 5'5" cripple.

Notice in the second paragraph of "Determinants of growth and height" it says:
"Genetically speaking, the heights of mother and son and of father and daughter correlate, suggesting that a short mother will more likely bear a shorter son, and tall fathers will have tall daughters."
I know some of you will say "not true!," but cases where a mother is short and her sons are tall are only if that mothers father is tall. If you're a short women with short parents your son WILL be short.
