Posted January 25, 2008 I'm 6 foot and my g/f is 5'1" and it doesn't cause any issues and I don't think much of it at all. My Mum and Sister are also pretty short but I never really pay any attention to it, although they sometimes comment on it. I'm not very tall but even around shorter people I've never felt tall. On the other side, I always take note when people are taller than me, especially if it's 6'4" or above. So I often wonder if they really 'feel' tall....

Posted January 25, 2008 I know I don't feel tall around anybody until somebody mentions it. =] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 25, 2008 I'm 5ft10/11. My dad's 6ft2ish and my mums just a tad shorter than me. You can actually be a tall person if both parents are short. I think sometimes, quite rarely, it can skip genes =) So if one of your grandparents was tall, you had short parents, there is a slim chance you'd be tall. Please refer back to my genetics skipping a generation statement. It's actually a lot more than a slim chance, there is a 100% chance you will take after your grandparents more than your parents. average uk male = 5ft10.1 average uk female = 5ft4.6 I don't have the source but i remember readin it on the internet. Sounds about right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted January 26, 2008 Please refer back to my genetics skipping a generation statement.It's actually a lot more than a slim chance, there is a 100% chance you will take after your grandparents more than your parents. That is a very general statement and probably not true even in this situation. Check figures 2 and 3 of this document (found in the back). (Also posted way back on page one.)

Posted January 26, 2008 I tried loading that pdf last night Odders and it screwed my browser. Might be fine for everyone else but just a warning. And yes I agree. I wish people would stop making copy and paste comments about genetic inheritance. All inheritted behave differently based on the amount of allelles (sp?), current ratios of thos allelles and the nature multi-loci interaction. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 26, 2008 Well if environment includes diet, then it's a mixture of the two. See; "Third-world" inhabitants and people from the olden days. They're pretty compact. I'm 6.2 maybe. Dunno. Tallest in my family I think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 27, 2008 I dont know. Im probably about 5'10 as last time I measured which was ages ago I was 5'9 and a half. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 27, 2008 im 5'8 and probably one of the smallest in my group of mates. I quite like my height tho and personally don't think size matters. However if you are really tall and a girl you like is really short, it's not gonna work. As for baldness, yeah im going bald but looking at the blokes on my mums side and my dads side they are all bald so yeah I had no chance really unless to negatives made a plus :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 27, 2008 However if you are really tall and a girl you like is really short, it's not gonna work. You think, my wife and I have a 22 inch height difference, and have been together over 17 years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
