I need some of yall opinions (HEIGHT)

[raconeater21]

For reference im 6', my brother father grandpa and great grandpa are all between 5'11-6', me and my bro did not grow in an optimal environment, like we lived a pretty shitty lifestyle full of candy, video games and sedentarism. My gf is 5'2 and htb non makeup(she had an earlier puberty due to lifestyle), her mom is like 5'1 and her dad 5'9 3/4. Im worried that if this relationship would last (which ig it will since we ve been together for more than 3 years), we d have short children. Her uncle (moms side) is between 5'7 3/4 and 5'9, and her male cousin from the moms side is 5'10-5'11. we re all from eastern european country, so looking at her moms relatives doesnt help(they mightve been more supressed, 4 children in her fam). I d really appreciate some of yall experiences or knowledge.

was going to read until my eyes stumbled upon this
dnrd nigga

 

[Niebvll]

You will have short childre

 

[Jordan Barrel]

cant be bothered to read right now mate, cheers

Do embryo selection or expect a genetic disaster

bro is hypergamous

Lol its annoying when people come on threads just to say dnr, thats why i said if youre not going to read dont bother saying dnr

 

[raconeater21]

bro is hypergamous

How am i hypergamous lol

 

[raconeater21]

Why should I? She doesnt have anyone in her family below 5'7-5'8. And again, im eastern europen, we ve gone through several diet restrictions due to political problems and her mothers side has gone through way worse than ive gone through

Why wouldn't you want your children to be as genetically advantaged as possible? It seems irresponsible to me, it's kinda like smoking and drinking while pregnant imo

Youre right man, but besides height not being prioritzed in my country (there are several 5'8-5'9s doing very good) im not going to breakup with my gf whos been with me through soo much just for this shit. And again, her dad aint even short and she s got very robust and beautiful genes from her moms side

But why would you limit them to living in a "country"?? Also the genes can always be better and genetic recombination can also happen downwards you never know

Like just do embryo selection its 100000% worth it for your children, just wait a little and save money if you're not rich (also mark my message as solution please lol)

I really appreciate your response. you are 100% right but i was thinking abt doing a dna test to get raw dna file to then get a pgs for height to see what her real height potential was

The thing is that every ovule or spermatozoid would carry the same genetic code when combined, it's a very unreliable way to do it because genetic recombination is a real thing especially for height.
I would still recommend embryo selection but I guess getting her dna scanned is a good idea, won't change your children's height tho

I mean yea it wouldnt, but i also do not suspect that my childs height would be short, her cousin from the mothers side is the moms sisters child, she s also 5'1 and she had a 5'10-5'11 child, proves there arent many so called "short genes". i mean i guess in her family (reffering to her moms side) the males are taller than the females with more than 13cms (which is the avg)

maybe they wouldnt be short but they probably wont be tall either, why not improve their lives if you can? (also mark me as solution please im trynna farm them, upper arrow on the right if you dont know)

I have been stressing over this shit for some time, i mean i ve talked to her abt it and shit, for reference avg height in my country is 5'9-5'10 and universally these heights are not as bad tbfr. i got 2 tests for us from myheritage since im not interested in anythting but the raw dna file so then i could get a pgs score that would maybe at least tell me something(her genetic predispotion for height) which could pontentially help me

Theyre lives would already be improved from how robust her family's features are, she has thick zygos thick jaws, both families have rather more deepset eyes, im kinda the opposite, i have more longer features and more rounded jaws, neutral set eyes.

yes helping them out genetically is literally the best thing you can do for them not even exaggerating

I mean what can i even do more than what ive done? shes also kinda rich, i mean her mom is her lawyer she has a shit ton of money that she d all inherit(only child) and 3 fuckass cars + 1 house + 1 apartment

literally genetics, it's the absolute best gift doesn't come close to being rich but obv its a nice plus

I myself was lucky, mom has an average frame dad has a narrow one, i ve got to have the largest frame from both our families, im also the tallest, since im european ill tell u in cm, im 183 and my bro is 181-182, not much of a difference but i mean just to also kinda point out how close and effective my fathers genetics are (my moms brother is 5'9-5'10 and shes 5'6)

But i mean, what would u say i should do

Since you're rich (or well your gf's fam but its the same bc its ur child) I'd start researching into embryo selection and potentially genetic modification and the potential technological advancements in the future so you're ready by the time you guys decide to have a kid.

what the fuck is genetic modification

 

[Gudlifer]

what the fuck is genetic modification

like modifying specific genes in ur dna, its not advanced enough yet and not commercialy availablebut probably in the future

how do you even find sexually attractive a 5'2 girl?
when you are walking and you see taller girls does that make you feel better?
because you are also the best looking in the relationship(you say she is htb but liekly you are overrating by a lot lets be honest she is mtb so avarage)
also growing early isnt actaully good(early puberty is worse, in nature we know that males and females mature later)

i simply do lol
there arent many tall girls in my country avg is 163-164, and anything above 167 i just dont find attractive, and when i usually find a woman attractive shes in the 165-155 range
I am not, also im not overrating at all, we are a looksmatch she s not more attractive than me nor am i
I know, she was on the fatter side as a kid which i cannot change or do anything about, no one in her family had a puberty as early as her so tehnically it was the environment. I also matured early, i havent grown since like 15? 15 and a half at best cause i was also a fat fucking kid.
And why are we judging? is like judging manlets and saying that they should not be found sexually attractive
