Do men subconsciously pick their wives based on if they desire to have a boy or a girl?

Question

First … All women are beautiful (Peace)…
Second ... Men are picky on the types of women who they are attracted to; some men only prefer red-heads ... others prefer blonds ... some men only like short petit women ... other men love tall slender women ...

Anyways, I’ve noticed within my friends that when the woman is tall, her husband wants a boy when they talk about babies… and when the woman is short & petit then the husband wants a girl … or have I been over thinking stuff again???

Answer 1

over thinking it. I want a boy and like short girls.

Answer 2

Whoa - you are over-analyzing this way too much, sister.

First off, not all men fit into that neat typecasting of blond, brunette or redhead.
A lot of us dated women with many different hair-colors (some of which we really weren't sure WHAT their real hair color was!).

A lot of us dated tall, short, skinny, fat and just average women.

When I married my wife, I never really thought about her physical characteristics and its relation to baby boy or girl.

I did, however, know that based on my family lineage that the odds were better than 80% we'd have a boy...which we did.

The one thing I looked for in my wife was someone who was healthy, lived a healthy life, had a healthy diet.
If we were going to have kids, I didn't want some cigarette-smoking, booze-guzzling, fast food gobbling slob creating a child with poor health.

Answer 3

Over thinking. My husband wanted a boy and we got one and I am short and petite.

Answer 4

I'd say you've been over thinking but I could be wrong. As I am almost 100% sure that body structure has nothing to do with a child's sex, it wouldn't make very much sense. It is certainly interesting though.

Answer 5

I don't think so. Subconsciously their looking for their mothers qualities. And also, in terms of evolution - their simply looking for a youthful woman in order to procreate. It's all about the continuation of the species.

Answer 6

Hmmm, well that sort of makes sense. I could imagine that someone who wants a small wife is timid themselves. Maybe it's easier to have females around then because they would fit his submissive, in life, way of being. Now, my wife's large, big bones and strong. A tomboy of sorts. But she's luscious and seducable. Ooooooh...er uh...anyway. I've chosen not to have children because I'm selfish and don't want to share her with any rugrats. But if I did have kids I'd want her to pop out a couple of baseball players...

Answer 7

I think it is not correlated. More probable for men is to choose a wife-to-be if they have the same traits as their mothers are. Atleast thats what they say.

Answer 8

I think that men (when they have met someone they want to have a child with) have already decided which sex child they would prefer. I don't believe that height, weight, beauty or hair color has anything to do with it. - just my opinion. :)

Answer 9

i kinda think you've been over thinking things, but it could be possible; weirder stuff has been proved to be true

Answer 10

it is the guys fault what type of kid we have! (boy or girl)
