Serious question. Every male seems to be the same height or taller than their dad. I am 4" taller than my dad. When will it end? Why aren't humans at least 8' tall if Napoleon was 5'8" 200 years ago?

All the tall men died in WW2 and the manlets inherited the Earth and started the height ladder over again

This is not correct.

>Why aren't humans at least 8' tall if Napoleon was 5'8" 200 years ago?

Clearly the selection pressure isn't enough to drive such a change. People also actually get to eat enough growing up nowadays so that helps.

For trees, height gives the organism a competitive advantage for absorbing sunlight. However if trees could develop advanced social capabilities, they would soon find that maintaining and not exceeding a certain height would be best for the species as it would conserve energy.

fucking genetics, how does it work?

Because we have reached the maximum typical height for humans. The typical height of a healthy "wild state" male as indicated by prehistoric skeletons was roughly what it is right now.

How do you know how big his erect dick is?

can you explain this? Were "wild state" males considered the tallest possible human beings or something? Do "wild state" people exist today?

Are you from an east asian country where people only started drinking milk roughly 50 years ago?

>>7994153
And is this why Asian women have big tits now, when I was growing up 30-odd years ago they never did.

i've never seen him erect, but my dad is a total hippy who will do naked gardening.

>>7992508
well obviously dick size doesnt trend upward like height, thats why the average has been in the 6-7.5" range since its been measured
>>
>>7994747
>thats why the average has been in the 6-7.5" range
At no point has any average been about 6"

Because standards of living, health and diets have been getting better everywhere. Western countries have all plateau'd though, and only Eastern Europeans, Asians, Indians, Spics are getting taller.

And no, if your father is under average height or above average height, you will be taller or shorter respectively due to the regression to the mean.

Dad 6' 3''
I'm 6' 3''

I guess it is 6' 3''

If it does, it should be minimal. The average dick size is 5'1''-5'5'' according to the three dozen penis studies I have from London, Florence, Toronto, New York, Berlin, Beijing, Seoul and Madrid, and the standard deviation is 1 inch.

The difference between 6'4'' and 5'8'' is the difference between 76 inches and 68 inches. That's only a 12% increase in length. I think you would barely notice if you had two hamsters with that difference in size or two baguettes. The only reason you notice such a small increment is because, as a human, you are attuned to other humans.

If the penis were 12% bigger in that case, equalizing all other factors, the 5'8'' guy would have a 5 inch donger and the 6'4'' guy a 5.8 inch donger (not taking into account the different proportions that people have, taller people generally having longer limbs). But the penis doesn't have any bones in it and the differences in height between people is caused by differences in bone length.

I would feel bad if I were white though.

Im 6'2". gf is 5'2". I also lift so my sex life is pretty fun and interesting. I think manlets should be gassed, along with fat short girls. (all fatties t b h) Petite hot girls are the only people who have an excuse to be short. They are fun to carry around and fuck in cool positions.

Cut your legs and lengthen them like they do in Gattaca.

Lift weights, eat more food. Read the sticky on /fit/ then never return to that god forsaken board. At no point should you read the actual posts, just the sticky.
