What gives you your height?

>dad is 6'0"
>dads dad was 6'3
>mum is 5'2"
>mums dad is 5'7
>brother is 6'2"
>sister is 5'7"

So how the fuck did I end up so short?

My brother and sister got height from my dads side and I got height from my mums side?

Also, dads dad (6'3) died from a heart attack at 64, and he wasnt even fat.

Mums dad is 86 (5'7) now and still active.


Does their height have anything to do with longevity? They both come from the same place in Greece.

Maybe your mom fucked a different guy than your dad? A little manlet maybe?

Impossible. My parents were KV before they got together. They weren't effected by the whole sexual revolution meme. They're really old fashion when it comes to relationships.

Also I've never seen my parents even give a single sign of ever flirting or being attracted to another human. They're pretty autistic when it comes to this stuff, considering they were both KVs this isn't really surprising.

This, nofap is more health and fitness than this bs.

>dad is 6'3"
>mom is 5'11"
>I'm 6'5".

I remember the day I outgrew my father like it was yesterday. He gave me a huge hug and told me how happy and proud he was about my physical development.

I miss lifting with him...

I'm 6'5 with a 6'1" wife, 7 months pregnant.
OP's story is my secret fear. What if my son is less than 6 feet?

Of course I'd love him, but maybe a little bit less.

I don't think height is always pure genetics. In my case
>Father is 5'9"
>mother is 5'4"
>I'm 6'4"
>little sister is closing in on 6'

My mother says her side of the family has a lot of tall guys though so maybe that's it? Dunno.

>Dad's 6'
>All of Dad's brothers are over 6', my godfather being the tallest at 6'4''
>Mother is 5'11
>Mother's Dad was 6'2
>Sister is 5'11''

With your power combined I am now 6'8''

>Dad is 6'
>Dads Dad is 6'1
>Mum 5'5
>Dads Mum 6'1
>Younger Brother 5'9
>Older Brother 6'2

I'm 5'11, I'm good with it

>Dad is 5'10"
>Ma is 5'4"
>Brother is 5'8"
>I'm 6' even
Tallest of all of my grandparents' descendants an taller than a good chunk of my extended family.
Feels good, but I'm not that tall.

>Dad 6'1
>Mum 5'10
>me 6'8

For reals.

Chad height is between 180cm and 195cm.
Everything taller or smaller is S H I T

But how tall are you?

>dad is 5'8
>mom 5'7
>older half brother on dad's side is 6'1
>my younger brother is 6'3
>I'm 5'9
life is suffering, when will I learn?

>What gives you your height?
Random combinations of your parents' genes.

>So how the fuck did I end up so short?
Random chance.

Also children are more likely to be closer to the population average than farther away. Meaning, taller than average people's children will most likely be shorter than their parents and shorter than average people's children taller than their parents.

>tfw just a few mm under 180cm

JUST

>dad 6'0"
>mom 5'0"
>me 5'5"
help

>dad 168cm (5'6)
>mum 154cm (5'0.5)
>their parents are even shorter

>sister is 172cm (5'7-8)
>I'm 180cm/5'11 (and we both look like my dad, so no milkman shit)

what the fuck?

Yeah actually, taller people on average live shorter.
More work for the heart and joints and body etc.

Before this thread 404's, what age were you anons when you stopped growing?

This!

Also:
>Dad: 6'
>Dad's dad: 5'9
>Dad's mom: Don't know but tall for a women in her time
>Mom: 5'4 (brothers are tall-ish tho)
>Mom's dad: 5'5
>Mom's mom: 5'5
>Sister: 5'8
>I'm 6'1

Makes sense

I'm tweenty and grew Half an inch in the last three months

>dad 5'7"
>mum 5'2"
>younger brother 5'8"
>me 5'5"
Don't know about your case OP, but my height is probably my own fault. After getting to HS I started playing WoW and almost stopped eating becouse it seemed like a "waste of time". My brother didn't and he has outgrown me swiftly.

>dad is 6'1"
>mom is 5'2"
>im 5'9"
im the shortest male in my extended family.

>dad:5'9
>mom:5:7
>me:6'3
>uncle who isn't actually related to the family:6'5

Kek do you look similar to him?

5'6"

>dad 5'4
>mom 5'8
>me 6'1

wonder how tall the mailman was...

5'8 is pretty tall for a woman, and the exact equivalent for a 6'1 male. Sorry buddy, you're most probably your dad's son, thank your mom for not being a manlet.

I never got to see him often, so I really can't say for sure. I just know that whenever i needed new clothes uncle johns hand-me-downs always fit well and were in constant supply.

I'm probably just over thinking it...

>6'2" dad
>no joke 4'11" mom
Haven't had the "late teen growth spurt" yet, 5'10 is fine but two more inches would be a blessing.

>Dad 5'9
>Mom 5'3
>No grandparent over 5'8

6'2 master skellington

Lots of short guys can actually have tall sons.

Me, for example, my father's side of the family is normal height/tall (1,80m+), but I'm 1,65m because of my mother.
I could and probably will have a taller son because of that.

>Dad is 5'7
>Mom is 5'3
>I'm 5'11
I am king of manlets

>dad 6'3"
>brother 6'2"
>me 6'
>mfw they both started balding severly at 19 and i'm 23, hair still thick
