Answer 1

Ooh, you never know, I'm 6ft 4, my moms is 5 ft 4 and pops is 5'11...so anything is possible!!!

Answer 2

it's just genetics....you have a T s gene and the person you married would hve either two TT or two ss or one of each
so if your partner had two tall parents then you have a 1 in four chance of having a short person....if your partner has two short parents then you would have a 3 in 4 chances of having a short person and if you both have one tall and one short parent then you have a 50/50 chance of tall or short

Answer 3

my goodness you are so attractive and i think there is far too much talk about the value that is placed on tall people. They don't live as long in general, they eat more, their clothes cost more, they must have bigger cars, bigger living quarters etc etc. and the most attractive people are shorter -- like you. lol and may god walk with you. choose a good man, a smart man not simply a tall man. tall, short phooey. do the wise thing for yourself.

Answer 4

nutrition is important - feed them lots of healthy food and they will be taller. Americans were the tallest race but now they eat lots of junk food they are unfortunately shrinking

Answer 5

don't bother with your height,sometimes being shorty have an advantage
