The effect of height Options

[alienshards]

Height seems important for boys. You can read the statistics, and you will find that taller men do better in the corporate world. Boys are often obsessed about thier height. This is, however, self perpetuating.

The key to the sucess of taller men is the extra confidence it gives them. The reason it gives them confidence is the sucess of taller men. This makes sense. Do not question it.

Added later:

So, your job is to tell me why I am wrong. My reasoning is not backed up by any research, but logic and intuition. Sharing your own experiences could constitute a good contribution. Please discuss. If you agree with me, please say why. In general, discuss the topic. Is height really that important, or is it mainly the confidence it brings?

so ... you're letting God to do your height thing?

wow, you dont have to drink milk at all ! Try not to get any calcium. that means, you're not trying to get taller.



If you want to be tall/average, drink milk, excerise, swim, stretch, pills, or whatever to grow "taller".


You're the one who's giving yourself the height, not God. right?

I think DNA's the one giving it.

Yeah. i know about these old people. it's natural.

about your friend ... did he meet his bodyrequirement to grow tall? Or, did he had big muscle? super big muscle at a younger age can prevent you from growing taller.

but i could be wrong though.

anyways, i know there's a gene that makes people a midget.

I think DNA's the one giving it.

No it doesnt. It tells you .. when to stop? idk.

My family had a certain DNA information which enable them to be tall.

a few of my family are short because they didnt drink milk anymore, eat cheese, and etc.


they're suppose to be tall but they didnt have enough nutrients. they eat ALOT of junk food.

We're not talking about tall people who ended up short. We're talking about short people. Clearly you need nutrition to reach your maximum potential height, but the inverse—that good nutrition automatically makes you tall—is not true.

height is strictly also base on gene?

It is true that good nutrition not always make you tall. It's because of the genes.



i'm confuse. i dont know what i'm saying.

Height is not strictly based on genes, but they do play a major part in it. Sure, good nutrition, stretching and whatnot is recommended and helpful, but it won't gain you an extra six inches. The information encoded in your genes is pretty much what you're going to get. You can help it reach its potential or you can hinder it; there's still room for variation, but either way, the range won't differ much more than a quarter or half inch at best. And even though you come from a family of tall people, it does not necessarily mean you're going to be tall. Tall parents can have short kids and it won't be the kid's fault. On the same note, short parents can have tall kids.

And to reply to the topic, the benefits of height is a mixed bag. I believe its both about the obvious physical and the confidence it brings. The first impression is the longest lasting one and the first impression is appearance. The tall guy in a suit a suit looks better than a short guy in a suit, so the boss is automatically initially attracted to Mr. Tall. And then yeah, Mr. Tall plays it up and Mr. Short, though with the same credentials, is looked at as second. So basically there was no discussion here; I pretty much agree with guy fawkes as much as I hate to admit it

Is it ... gene fuse ? LOL.

thank you for speaking it straight. my thinking was mess up.
but, thanks

but it's strange, my parents say, all my past blood-related family generation are tall due to arranged marriage, status, and etc.
