Did you know that the gene for height, or "tallness", is passed from mother to son, and father to daughter? That explains why my 6'4" father (a one-time collegiate offensive guard), had me, his now 5'10" daughter. Do I mind being tall? Never.
So the likelihood of me having a son with a stature similar to my father's is good. I'm glad, too, because it would be difficult being a short guy in our world. Too much BS to overcome I think. However, if I have a daughter with a guy who was not-so-tall, then she wouldn't have my height gene whatsoever. That sucks, too, but being a short girl isn't the worst thing in the world. They make a lot of cute shoes for that!
The article is old, but I found it here.

don't be a hater - good things come in short packages! the man pool is a lot bigger when you're 5'3!
