Did I waste my gene?

Quote from: myloginacc on May 13, 2019, 10:43:39 PM5'8 seems accurate for South Koreans. Probably pretty close to 5'9 if you only take men under 22. 5'8 and some change is accurate for young Chinese men from specific regions. However, a 177cm+ (essentially 5'10) average is too much.

Yes 177cm+ is too much.The average height around 18 is only actually 173-175cm.And older one should be lower

I guess you're right but it also depends on which type of Chinese and Koreans you usually meet. Here in the UK they all come from Northern China so I think that's why they're taller, North China average height is 5'10, South China is 5'8

It's just completely impossible that every (young) man in the UK of East Asian heritage is at least 5'9'' or above. That's just a stupid exaggeration like OldieButGoldie when he said he was the shortest guy in his university in Germany at 5'8''. I also doubt the 5'10'' average claim for Northern China. You're a young guy on the shorter side going through LL which will NOT be an easy endeavour. I have trouble seeing why you would be so insistent on these exaggerated numbers...do you like to feel short?

I can't believe the amount of people with negative IQ's finding their way onto this forum now. I don't like to waste time on trolls but my god.... Do you guys actually go outside or look at ANY data or statistics at all before coming to your conclusions?

Fking "every East Asian I know is under 5'3 with under 5'9 kids"

How much worse can your perception of reality possibly be??? There are legitimately zero East Asian countries where the average male height is below 5'3, not even North Korea with it's starving population, and slave camps.

And suddenly their children are now supposed to grow 2 standard deviations in height taller than them, and this is your observation for EVERY East Asian you've ever seen? fking looooooool tbh.

LL, height, short complexes, anxiety, everything aside, it's just insane the kind of bull  you can read in general posted by retards on the outer rims of the Internet. It's truly mind blowinglg dumb.

OP, you didn't stunt your height. Once I read you parents height in the first sentence I glared at my screen and rolled my eyes. Even amongst wealthy first wordlers, it's not uncommon to be slightly shorter or the same height as your father. Just think about it logically, if everyone was taller than their dads: why aren't we all 6ft10?

Also lol at the other thread where some guy conducted that "survey of 112" women or whatever. I'm seriously more concerned for the intelligence of these people than thejr issues with heightism, maybe the struggles they face in life are more due to their retardation rather than lack of height.

Well I'm 5ft 5. My father is around 5ft 6-7 and my mother is about 5ft 4.Height genetics are incredibly unpredictable it seems.

All my brothers grew to 5ft 9- 6ft. I was born 3 and a half months prematurely which I'm certain affected my final height.

Hopefully this means my genes aren't terrible so my children don't have to suffer lol.

But honestly yes people on this forum act as if 5ft 9 isn't average male height in the west and that there's some worldwide conspiracy that covers up the ' real average height' of 6ft lol

Cause everyone always adds an inch or two to their actual height plus people mostly are seen with shoes which give a little bit of height

Someone that’s 5’10 is 5’11 with some air maxes or something and they round it up to 6ft

I have been living with 3 guys from Jordan (Arabs) two of them around 6 ft 1 and one 6 ft3, also I know Chinese guy from Hong Kong and he is 6 ft 3 (24 years old), but also most of them from kind of wealthy families

You are at your full natty potential
