I'm 5'11 180.34 cm

 

[Guivre]

As a 5'6" lady, I am the shortest person on either side of my family. Many of the guys are 6'6" on the Bulgarian side. Needless to say, disappointed.

I'm almost 5'6"(167cm), which was also my mother's height. That was tall for an Italian woman of her area and time, and she's told me she never wore much of a heel on her shoes when she went dancing. As contrast, my father's mother from the Apennines was over 5'10".

I've seen lots of families where an American diet heavy in milk and meat, and all the attendant hormones, drastically increases height (and weight, unfortunately), in succeeding generations. It didn't happen in our family, though. My brother is about 5'10, and my father was 5'9", the shortest of seven boys.

I emigrated here, so no milk or formulas for me, so I don't know what would have happened if I'd been exposed to that diet.

When I was in my teens and early 20s, and more superficial, I did notice if in 4" heels I towered over a man. Now I wouldn't give a damn. If it doesn't bother him, why should it bother me? My dad was 5'9", and there was never a tougher man in every respect.

My dad is 5”10, and so is my mom. Both of them born in Italy.

However, people on my mom’s side are generally tall. My grandfather was 6’1”, my uncle 6’4”. My mother’ grandmother’s family was also over 6 feet. For some reason, there's some pockets of Puglesi that are pretty tall, like this guy.

My dad's side is shorter. My brothers and sisters took after him, in that regard.

But yea, my dad is really tough too. His hands are freakishly large, and look like they’re made out of sand paper.

I don't think people should feel bothered by that anyway. The high heel was originally invented for the purpose to tower over people.

I dated a girl that was 6'0", I didn't care when she wore high-heels.

You're right of course. That stuff is nonsense.

I watched the finale of this season's Game of Thrones last night. I used to think Kit Harrington's sole claim to male beauty was his glorious hair. I stand corrected.

He's 5'7, and I can't imagine any woman in her right mind complaining or turning him down.

That's over and beyond the fact that looks or physical attributes shouldn't be the only consideration.

Certainly,

Good sensibilities, intelligence, compassion, and loyalty all serve to make the partner more attractive. I can't see myself marrying a woman that lacks in any of those qualities. In addition to physical beauty.

I've based my Y-HG assumption on the region I come from and the physical appearance, before all the hight in my family (I'm 198 cm and all of them are and were far above the average). So for 2 years I've been reading everything on this forum about I2a. Finally I decided to do the testing. The results came and caugth me really unprepared. Instead of a confirmation of what I was 99% sure about, it turned out to be E-V13. Well, just a small anecdote about making assumptions and generalisations...
