[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]5'8.5" dad here. Height advantage in men is as real as looks and body in female, let's not kid ourselves. If you don't agree with this then you're either not aware of your privileges or have an agenda.

I have two boys, and their final height has always been a concern of mine. My 15-yo is now approaching 5'10 so I can finally relax; my 13-yo is 5'6"+ but doesn't have the long limbs and fingers and toes like his older brother, so I still worry about him.

Be realistic, moms, and do all the right things for your sons do at least you know you're doing your part. There's only one Tom cruise/RDJr/Napoleon.[/quote]

DP you may be right that there is a height bias in men but there are a ton of short and successful actors out there ( and other people too but we don't know them)  Just look at Broadway and the Hamilton cast.    If I had a short son ( I have only daughters) I would try to get him to love himself and that will give him confidence.  My brother is very successful and he is only 5'8" .  I know two guys also very successful and one is only 5'5".  Sure we all want to be taller, thinner and more handsome/beautiful but, you have to take life as you get it and be grateful for what you have.[/quote]
