You go girl@!

6'1"ish to her 5'10"ish.

Luckily when she wears heels I'm also usually wearing a dress shoe or a boot, so I get to cut down on her advantage.

Not necessarily, I could see your kids being a couple inches shorter than you at most, but I wouldn't sweat it. My friend is 5'9.5 and his brother is about the same height. His dad is 5'8/5'9, and his mom is only 5'/5'1. Although, I think Michael Jordan's kids were shorter because of his choice in marrying.

My dad is 6'1", my mom is 5'3".

I'm 6', my brother is 6'4". Obviously there's more going on that just the limiting height of one parent.

Well, I hope you are right for my son's sake, but my experience as a basketball coach has been to look for the height of the mother as a better indicator of the height of the child than the height of the father. Well, that and the fact that the mother is definitely the mother whereas the father ...

It is humilliating for the man EGO to be smaller than a woman, ofcourse if the girl is a freak forget it or have more than 1,80meters. Dont you agree ?

I'm more than a foot taller. It's weird and I'd prefer someone closer to my height.

when you're 5'2" there are not nearly enough short girls in the world.

I'm 6'3", she's 5'10".

Tall girls seem to care the most about how tall a guy is. I was once approached on the street by a >6' woman with a tiara and sash that read "Ms. Tall California," who invited me to join the Silicon Valley tall people club. My theory is that it was created by tall women who wanted an easy way to find guys tall enough for them. I mean, being tall isn't exactly something you can have a lot of conversation about...

same height. I am short, so its pretty hard to find a girl my size. I wont date taller girls AT ALL. I ruined some poor girl in college's life apparently by not dating her. she was like 5/6" taller than me. Things were in the wrong places. the sex was weird. She weighted different..... I get mad at my fiance when she is taller than me for some reason. I tell her to shrink or the wedding is off.
