Tall woman argues dating a shorter man to make normal height children
I know this blog post has been referenced on this site as a source for a few articles, but thought it was worth posting again in its raw form as the blog is now defunct and only accessible through web archives. The name of the blog was "Slightly Awkward Shelly". The comments did not disappoint and went exactly as you think they would (with a few supportive ones here and there). |

4ft10 woman marries 5ft7 man but has kid with tall sperm donor
The irony here. Commentators immediately want to know the height of the dad. We all know who got all of the fun and who got all of the responsibility. Brutal. |

Dutch Chad fathers over 500 children globally. Gets banned by court.
Dude sought out women who wanted to conceive using social media and lied to them about how many times he donated in the past. When the Dutch court banned him after he was reported, he continued to use this "procurement" method. Now he has offspring all over the globe. Now guess why so many were open to use him to conceive. Some were even done the "natural" way... |

My mother's reaction to my final height
I had to be about 16 or so. My mother took me to my pediatrician and while there we were reviewing X-rays. The doctor told my mom that after looking at my growth plates, I would grow to end up anywhere from 5'4 to 5'6. She was bang on correct. At this time, my mother's reaction didn't phase me as I was just happy to get to be at least 5'6 considering how tall I was at the time, but looking back, I remember it like it was yesterday. My mother said, "That's it? Not even 5'8? His father is 6' and his uncles are all are taller than that!". I can't remember the conversation following that, but I didn't care. My grades were on point, I was on the baseball team, was one of the best saxophone players in my school and even had a high school sweetheart (we were together for a year at that point). What did my height matter? Her entire family is short. My aunts, uncles, grandfather; everyone on her side of the family is in the 5'-5'6 range. Her dad, my grandfather is the "tallest" at 5'7. Looking back at her reaction, it gets me a bit infuriated. Did she not think that I could inherit her genes? Also, it makes me think, would she have considered my father if he were my height? At this age, while I do okay in dating, I will not say that I don't get annoyed when women who are much shorter only leave themselves open for much taller men, not because of the preference, but because they gallivant around as if them having a short son despite how tall their partner is cannot happen. I'm literally proof that it can and does happen, and not rarely either.

Being short is fine. Combining that with hair loss is a killer
As far as I know, going back as far as my great-grandfathers on either side, no one is bald. Being a 5'6 man for me is easy. While I have visited many boards where shorter guys discuss their grievances, I may have been fortunate in that I am above average looking, have always been athletic and am talented musically. When you add hairloss to the mix however, it opens up a whole other world of unease. I have always been confident, but having two struggles, the second (in my case hair loss) amplifies the first tenfold. I wouldn't call it an insecurity, rather reality. Anyone else here losing their hair? Assuming most of the people on this board are short, so how are you dealing with both minuses?

Short woman concerned about her sons being short
Completely self-aware, but will be crushed if her sons end up being short and find out about how their own mother viewed men like them during her own time. |

You didn't eat or sleep enough when you were younger
Anyone ever tell you this? I went to Junior High and High school with guys who ate nothing but Doritos and drank soda. Some were my best of friends and their parents hardly cooked. I on the other hand ate lots of meats and leafy vegetables, never drank or did any drugs as a kid and only grew to a paltry 5'5". Go figure. |

Anyone feel cheated by genetics?
Are you the shortest in your family or significantly shorter than your father? If so, do you look around at your family and wonder why you are so much shorter than the rest of them? |

23andMe DNA test to figure out why shortness is prevalent in my DNA?
23andMe is a mail-in DNA test. You basically can swab your cheek and send it in for reporting. I already know my immediate background, but am wondering if some unknown connection can explain why shortness runs in my family. I am content with being short, but am just curious to know if certain populations running thick in my DNA can explain it better. Any of you ever do a DNA test and what are your backgrounds? |

Which country have you felt tallest in and what was it like?
I just came back from a trip to Colombia and never felt closer to average height. Just about every man I came across in Bogota and Baranquilla weren't that much taller than me. Mind you, Bogota is the capital, a major city. Last year I was in Germany and it was obviously the complete opposite. Which countries or cities have you been to where you felt the tallest or shortest? |

Average Height In China By Region (2018)
As expected, taller people are in the cities, but their average height isn't "catching up" to people with Northern European ancestry. |

Don't believe the hype, men in Hong Kong are not that tall
There is this idea that the men in Hong Kong are much taller than the men in mainland China (particularly those born before 1990) and are on par with men in the West. I just came back from visiting Hong Kong for business and the men on average seem 2-3" shorter than men in the U.S. Certain things are even designed for the smaller people here. For example, handlebars on Busses and Subways hang much lower. I recommend a visit for the culture and British connection! |
