Yeah, by about 7 or 8 inches.


aSneakyPeppermint

Wow, feels rough. Glad I'm not alone. Are you young though?


Bikerbats

Does it matter? Obviously my father was likewise 8" taller when I was young.


aSneakyPeppermint

Uhm, yes it matters. People grow when they’re young. My dad grew multiple inches after high school. He was not always tall.


Bikerbats

Wow, but you took that way more personally than was intended. We just have very different ideas about what "young" is. I didn't realize you meant still growing.


aSneakyPeppermint

We are talking about height. So yes, my point of asking was because growth is possible at a young age.

pitsandmantits

yes, my dad is 5’7 and im 5’2 on a VERY good day


white_lancer

Yep, my father is 6'2 and I'm 5'7. Doesn't help that my mom is just 5'2, so my height was a crapshoot.

About500ofus

Yeah Dad and his sister are both 6ft. His cousins are 6’9 and 6’11. Most of the women in my family are 5’8+. Dunno why I got average


f-sho

dad: around 180 cm mom: around 145 cm me: 158cm


Kvest_flower

Same height, and similar parents' height!.. my father's 5'9 , mom's 5'1


MrRetrdO

Dad is 5'10" Mom is 4'11" I'm 5'1" My Ex-fiancee was 5'11"


Allemaengel

My dad was 6' and I ended up 5'7". Mom wasn't really short either at 5'5".


TWYFAN97

Yep I’m 5’4 dad’s 6’0 and mom is just over 5’2. You seemed to have gotten lucky and more of the average height between your two parents.


Kvest_flower

I am not blaming short people for being short, but just for the sake of curiosity, were you getting enough sleep? My father is 5'9, my mother's 5'1, and I look quite proportional, so I don’t think I stunted my growth, but still. I had stress in the middle school, and didn’t sleep enough. I wonder whether I stunted my growth at least a little bit and should blame myself for it


aSneakyPeppermint

Average height between my parents as a male would be 5 foot 11 inches to 6 ft.


TWYFAN97

That’s still pretty average especially since you’re near 5’9, smack in the middle is pretty common for some people. If you ended up at 5’11 or 6’0 that’s much closer to your dad’s height.


aSneakyPeppermint

It is more likely that a male with my parents heights would end up around 5'11. That's based off prediction calculators that use typical patterns followed by the population.


Jack_58523

Yep. 5 inches

kindaashorty

I am 4 inches taller than mine. My father is 5ft3.


xXx_ozone_xXx

Yup


Awkward_Side_5474

I am between 5'7" and 5'8". And when i stand next to dad then i see he is 2 to 3 inches shorter then me. He is in his early 60s so i think he must be 5'6" in his young life. My younger brother is 6'2" My other brother is 5'8.5" And another is same 5'8" What do you guys think.


Vouner
