Re: Why some tall parents have short kids Thread Starter

From what I gather, I most likely won't have a surprise late-bloomer growth spurt, but as I've said before, I am shorter than my father and the same height as my mother (maybe a smidgen less), so I am one of those less common cases where I end up shorter than both parents are close to my mother's height. It's usually taller than both or in between right?

But then there are those, I think of celebrity kids who end up much shorter than most people would think. Look at Michael Jordan's kids. They're both considerably shorter than he is with both of them being around 6. I think one of them is 6 even.

Well, that regression toward the mean might just be it. I always hear women running from shorter guys claiming they don't want short kids, they end up having a kid by a taller guy and then what if the kid doesn't grow to be as tall as they'd like. I've seen people talk about Will Smith here. His son is about 5'6. Yes, Jada Pinkett-Smith is only 5'1, but that regression toward the mean probably means that chasing height really isn't that serious.

You could both be short and still have a tall child and vice-versa.

Re: The Political Compass For Height

When older people say, "no matter who you vote for, they have disdain for you", I'm assuming this is what they mean.

Re: Women talking about height in public. Thread Starter

It's summer and I'm working in retail while on vacation from college. Yesterday while my colleagues and I were working at the register, two of my female colleagues to the right were discussing how many men they know who are 6 feet and the height of the boyfriends they had, with me in obvious earshot. They were pretty callous about it and did the "tee-hee" thing that people talk about online a lot. It almost seemed like a competition as to who knew the tallest people.

I know they weren't trying to make me feel some kind of way specifically, but it didn't compute that someone who isn't their preference was nearby when having the conversation. This is not the only conversation I've heard like this. Last week, these women, college seniors in front of my dorm building were arguing about some 5'8 guy one of them met with one woman exclaiming that "5'8 is way too short".

Is this really that common? Is that what women fuss about the most when discussing men? I have a lot of guy friends and we don't casually in public talk about how big a woman's chest is, or her weight. Even when chatting among one another, we rarely if ever do that. We just say, "she's hot" or "gorgeous" .
