I'm 5' 7"...
Other half is 5' 8 1/2", so if I wear heels I'm taller 
. But I don't wear heels that often.

On the small side - my kids are rapidly overtaking me

Not good - but potentially amusing...
I feel duty bound to point out that I'm female and the other half is definitely male!

So, the half that doesn't wear heels very often is the female half?
I think.

Women are generally smaller than men because they need something to look up to.

He once commented that he would be happier if I was about 3" shorter - that way he could properly rest his arm on my shoulders. My response was it'd be better if he was 3" taller

now you've done it
in my meanderings on this site, as soon as woman kind is baited, they will bite and keep chewing long after we stop listening

Posted by ORCUS:
*Given that the average male, when asked, will exaggerate their height by around 2 inches and that the average female will do so by 1 inch then what are the implications for this thread?*
Maybe us researchers arent average.

I was told at my son’s birth. “Take the smaller parent height form the taller parents height that equals the growth levels (GL) for your kids”.Add to GL to Mom’s lower limit and Add to GL to Dad’s for the upper limit. My dad was 6F6 and mom was 5.11. “My Boy is 6F3. My girl is 6F0”They say the human race is getting bigger.

Not sure I followed all that...
I understood that a girl will never be taller than her Dad, and a son will never be smaller than his Mum.

Humans may be getting taller but I'm still shorter than both my parents.

Orcus does make a point: the people posting here do -- for the most part -- seem taller than average.
