[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've never understood the &gt; 6'ft thing. The average woman is 5'4. A guy who is 5'8 - 5'11 should suffice. [/quote]

Women don't want short sons [/quote]

+1.  Taller men have a lot of advantages and moms want the best and most for their sons.

- Mom of 3 sons[/quote]

Again. Sons take height after moms [/quote]

That's an old wives tale [/quote]

Haha - I wish. Plenty of examples I know personally where mom was 5’4; dad 6’2 and son ends up 5’7[/quote]

And there are plenty of actual studies debunking your anecdotes. If you want to rough calculation for a boy's height, it's the mother's height to the father's height in either inches.
Add 5 inches for boys. Divide by 2.

That’s just a rule of thumb.

I have a husband who is 5’8 on a good day. I’m 5’3’.

Our older son is 6 feet tall but our younger son is in the 20th percentile for height so he’s going to be single for a long time, apparently.

My grandfather and DH’s father were/are both 6ft.

Height is polygenic. It’s not directly inherited. I can’t say I gave this a whole lot of thought when I decided to bang DH the first time, but it’s worked out fine.[/quote]

Well, it only worked for one of your sons. Which proves the fact that mother’s height is just as important for sons predicted height, if not more [/quote]

What you just typed doesn’t make sense. Did they teach a genetics unit in biology at your high school?[/quote]

Of course they did. And the formula you provided above proves it [/quote]
