You're sp9t on based on the calculation of

Father's height + mother's height in inches +5 inches divided by 2.

Your dad 73 + mom 59 + 5 ÷2 = your height.

I never understood why we judge people on what they can’t help.

People say “omg you’re tall!”. Like I can change it or I had something to do with it.

I’ve noticed this for a long time.  Most Arfers are oddly short, or grotesquely tall.   Not a lot of normies like me.   The Bell Curve is inverted.

I was 165 back at the end of 2020.  I looked absolutely scrawny, and had I been counting calories, I'd probably only get to 14 or 1500/day.

My scale tells me 195-198 throughout the week.

Getetics I guess. My sister is  5'-9". Everyone in my family is semi tall except for my mom. Had an aunt that was almost the same height as my sister. My girlfriend is 4'-11". She gets the stuff low down and I get the stuff she can't reach out of cabinets and shelves. Works out well.

I personally don't care. I did know a guy a long time ago that wouldn't let it go about how "tall" people had it made, made more money than him, got better women than he did and several other things. Guessing cause it's all he talked about it didn't help. He wasn't that short but he sure talked about it a lot. Went to school with a guy that was just over 5'-0. Didn't bother him and he slayed the women because of his personality and attitude.

6’3”.  Worked at an agency with plenty of folks who were pretty tall, lot of college ball players (mostly football).  Would forget how fucking short the general population is until out in a crowd…. 6’3” is 98th percentile for height for males in the USA…

Hit my fucking head on stuff a lot more than short guys for sure though…

Truth. Samuel Colt equalized us all.

I am a little over 6’0, but I don’t feel ‘tall.’
My oldest son is a little under 6’4” now.
I have a 17YO daughter, and 14YO son who are both already 5’9”.
They get it mostly from mom. Her bro’s are 6’5” and 6’3”. Her sis is 5’10”. Nordic heritage is real.

I'm 5'8.8536" which I round up to 5'9".

My dad was 6' and my mom is 5'7", so by way of calculator, either I should be 6', my dad is not my dad or my mom is not my mom or both, or I the midget gened sperm that is half of me was the fast one of the bunch.

At least my son is on track to be 6' even though my wife is only 5'4.5".

My sister tells people that she is 5'12", instead of 6'0".

I'm 6'3" and I'm the shortest male in my family.

Both my brothers are 6'4" and our father was 6'5".   I don't know why I got the short gene in the family.
