No lah... City slickers get city smoke and fumes. Tt's why they have shorter lives. Lifestyle affects Lifespan

jay_rocks SG

Xiaozzhen SG

Not to worry, Maybe the next generation guys will be tall., then the tall girls don't have to worry.

My 12 year old son is now 1.62m. He will be at least 1.85m. Well, hopefully..

But I remember reading somewhere, that tall guys must mate with short women to reproduce taller offsprings.. Very Happy This is the case with me and my husband. My the other younger son should be tall too. Razz

The Brits and Americans were never that tall as depicted by Hollywood. Their Male average barely scratches 5'10" (178cm).

The tall people in the world are the Europeans. Serbia & Montenegro and the Dutch comes to mind.

SG girls getting taller? Laughing

mistyblue SG

Hai. Not my target. Thank goodness my husband is taller than me not that I mind short guys but I am quite big size so I tend to tower over people because of my bulk.

Laughing

I know, netherlands folks has been tall - 1.7 is short to them.

SG girls got very tall ones and they tower over the heads of average guys. I see a number of them on the train. Then again, I also meet very short and petite ones.

Xiaozzhen SG
