This is WHY SHORT WOMEN (5'4" and below) SHOULD STOP HAVING KIDS!!!!!!!!!?

Question

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.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/human_heigh...

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.

so, SHORT WOMEN - Please consider not having kids especially males so they won't have to suffer like I do.

And another thing, stop blaming short men for everything. They're the ones suffering from the repugnant genes of short women.

Answer 1

In the overall scheme of things how tall you are is really not a major issue. As I have said to my kids many times when they ranted immaturely about inconsequential things, "Get over it!"

Answer 2

All this hate for your mother just because you are short?Maybe your psychology class should study your problems.
By the way,my father is 5'9 and I am 5'1...my son is 6'0,so there goes your theory.
Your height has nothing to do with you still being a "virgin",it might be your negative attitude against women.I prefer short men,I even dated a man that was 5'3,one of the nicest men I ever met.Your stature does not make you a man,your attitude does.An ugly attitude is a sure way to keep you a virgin for many years to come.

Answer 3

My mother is 5'2", my father is 6'2". They had five boys and the shortest is about 5'9". The rest of us are 5'10" - 6'0". My neighbors had eight children. The mother is 4'10" and the father is 6'2". They had two short boys and two short girls. The others are average to tall (one girl is 5'11", one boy is 6'2"). The same holds true for most families that I know; there is no correlation between the mother's height and male children. Are you sure you're not studying phrenetics?

Your virginity, on the other hand, may have more to do with YOU than your mother.

Answer 4

Oh no, not you again. I thought we set you straight the last time you posted this silly question. I will tell you again about my friend who is slightly over three feet tall, is missing one arm completely, the other arm is shortened and malformed. Also missing part of one leg. What he is not missing is a lovely wife, two great sons, and productive job as a banker, a great home, tons of friends, and a life he is glad to be living every day. He drives a car, plays golf, is involved in our community, and lives a full life. He never complains even though I know he is pain. You should be so ashamed of yourself. Maybe some of your psych classes will help you figure out why you seem to be " short" on brains as well as stature. Shame on you!

Answer 5

Who the hell do you think you are. Obviously your personality is prevents you from having a relationship. I'm 15 so I'm not having kids anytime soon. I'm 5'2 1/4 I'm not super short. That is average. If I want to have kids I can, what someone looks like shouldn't be a factor in whether or not they can have kids. Only someone pathetic and fake like you cares so much about looks. There are plenty of short guys in my school and they have had relationships with girls tall, short what ever. Get over yourself, shorty!

Answer 6

Huh, I never knew that. Y'know, I used to really underestimate the ordeal that guys under 5'9 go through until I was reading an issue of "Men's Health" (just for an insider's perspective, y'know?) and I read about a procedure that perfectly healthy men undergo to become just a couple inches taller. The surgeon actually breaks the leg bones and inserts pins in them. As the bone heals, the patient goes home and turns screws sticking out of his leg to make the bone *stretch* as it heals! Yeow! Its very painful and in 10% of cases, the patient stands up for the first time in weeks...only to have this legs break. What's worse is that the procedure leaves the people who undergo it unable to run as fast as they could before--and that's when everything goes as planned! I showed the article to my sis. It really made us think.

Come to think of it, her last boyfriend was 5'5. My second guy was the shortest out of the three guys I've been with, and I find him to be the most attractive by far.

Answer 7

I undestand that you are very agry at the fact that you're parents where poor and couldn't afford to inject growth hormones since you were born. I come from a short family and my older brother was suppose to be 5'5 too but he went on growth hormones since the age of 2 and up until he was 19 (he's still on them...it cost my family 30,000 a year (so you can do the math)) and he is 6'4...so instead of telling short women not to have kids ...tell that to short, POOR women not too instead.

Answer 8

I do feel for you, but its not your moms fault.

5'5" is not that short and ask the Girls, if you have a really good personality and you don't worry just about sex, hopefully you will find some one. Religious people, in my experience, often look over such differences.

Secondly, personally my father is 5'6"ish my mom is 5'2"ish and I am 5'11" so the theory probably has something else to it. Don't worry, look for guidance and such petty issues will go away. By guidance I mean divine guidance.

Answer 9

My mom is 5' 4". My brother is 6' 4". Sort of blows your theory. If female height comes from the father, then tell me why my dad was 6' 2" and I'm only 5' 4".

Answer 10

Cheer up, when you first started posting, you were 5'4" (http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20061211193611AAkpgjO)and now you are 5'5"!!

You think what happened to you is so horrible, yet you feel so powerful that you want to determine what everyone else does?


Obviously you can do whatever you want, but if you just get married (tall, short, whatever), stay commited, and stop obsessing over your height, I think you'd be a lot happier.

Answer 11

Not all girls care about the guy's height. Me and my boyfriend are the exact same height and I don't care. I'm even willing to wear high heels when I'm with him. If you don't want to date a girl taller than you date a really short girl. You're 5,5 so that's not that short. A lot of girls are under 5,5. Good luck!!!
