I said it before and I'll say it again. My father was 5'5" and had 3 wives, all taller than him, and still managed to cheat on all of them. The only thing holding short kings back is themselves.

May all your holiday gatherings only last exactly as long as you desire, and may a refreshing alcoholic beverage always be at hand. πŸ“ΏπŸ™

My father in law was also that tall and somehow convinced several beautiful women to marry him.

[-] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago

Maybe you and stopforgettingit are half-siblings from different marriages

[-] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Quarter siblings, but yes.

5'6" who had a 4'11" roommate in college and both of us were absolute HOUNDS.

I am happily married now. To a woman an inch and a half taller than me

5'7" is the average male height in the US btw, so it's not like 5'6" is manlet territory. For whatever reason we have decided as a society that average male height is around 6 foot despite only 14.5% of American men being 6ft or taller.

I think it's 5'9", in the U. S.; 5'7" is the average for the world.

Y'all need to get your affairs in order over in the US so I can move over there because at 5'10" I'm well below average in my country.

CDC data does show the average for males being 5'9" in the US though. 5'7" is the average globally. Over here the average is 6' because I lucked into being a short king in the third tallest country in the world apparently.

It's so much nicer not having to work out logistics to smooch

maybe his growth spurt went into his dick instead of his height ? was his nickname horse ? Alas in my case it was the opposite.
