I’d say my dick solely for vanity purposes.

I am with Csulli on this one. And inch of height doesn’t make much difference, especially compared to the difference of an inch of manhood. Now 4 inches of height vs 1 inch of length would be a more intriguing question.[/quote]
See I would absolutely take 4 inches of height vs one inch of length.[/quote]
I concur.

Height, my manhood is just fine and Id rather have an anatomically correct dick than a kickstand. [/quote]
Nah I’d definitely say dick. An extra inch won’t really turn you into a freak, but you’ll get a lot more bang for your buck(huehuehue) with an inch down there. I don’t feel like my life would be much different if I were 5’11 as opposed to 5’10.
I mean even for a shortish guy an inch is only an extra 1.5% of your height as opposed to getting an extra like 13-17% of length to your junk. 10x more efficient.[/quote]
So you would say more of a bang for your buck? lol
On the height or length question; I would go for the length, I’m 6’3" and I already feel freakishly tall but I don’t feel freakishly endowed.
I never understood people ~6’ saying they could do with a couple more inches of height, to me that seems like the perfect height. Maybe it’s because I’m tall but I can’t imagine actually wanting to be taller than everyone else. Especially by a good 3-5 inches on average.

You kind of brought out a point; I guess a guy could feel too tall, I’ve heard that before, but never heard someone say he wishes his penis was smaller.
Maybe we can get someone a female to weigh in here?

I did once, it was a documentary about a man with a 13 inch penis (flaccid) he had literally ripped girls open.
I suppose it comes down to people in general not wanting to be too much of an outlier either way.

I knew a guy in high school who frequently wished he was smaller. He was freakishly huge in the girth department though and said that it cost him far more than it earned and it rarely ever got a repeat customer.

I’ve thought of this before and I think I’d pick my height.
Don’t overlook the effects of a phenomenon known as ‘hybrid vigour’. When your parents are drawn from disparate gene pools, sometimes you are bigger and stronger than both of them. It doesn’t always hold true, but I’ve seen enough dogs, horses and guinea pigs bred to know the power this can have.

Hello, I did not know where else to post this, there does not seem to be a General topic, so here it goes.
I have looked at every single family that I have come across, from school, friends, extended family, wive’s friends and so on, and in all those families I have noticed that :
Even when I go holidays, meet other families, and social circle, basically everywhere, I am not aware of one single family where the boys are shorter than the dad.
In all except my family, my eldest son who will soon be 18 is shorter than me, and my youngest son who is 15 has reached his brother in height but still shorter than me. All their friends from school who I have met have reached or have overtaken their dads, easy.
So I am wondering what’s happening here. Do you have any stats or any views on the matter?

There are two major genetic factors involved in height. One is a combination of genes, maybe 25 that act in polygenic fashion to set one’s “target” height. If it is typical of polygenetic traits, then you get some from your mom, some from your dad, and they are spread out on different chromosomes.
The second is the age of puberty, and growth plate closure. This MAY be more like a single trait inherited from one or the other parent, at least because it is “all or nothing”. If you get a signal to close growth plates then no different signal is going to matter.
But plates close due to activity levels, and exposure to hormones and nutrition as well. Generally speaking if you delay puberty or you have kids lead an inactive lifestyle, their limbs will grow longer before they stop. If puberty occurs earlier or kids do a lot of impact activity they close earlier. Perhaps it is estrogen in water or food that is making boys stop growing taller at a later point. The same thing might cause earlier puberty among girls, but I’m not an expert in endocrinology.
I am 5-9, but I was 5-9 in 7th grade. My brothers both kept going to 6-2 and 6-4, and my dad, his dad, and my dad’s 2 brothers were 6-1 to 6-4.
I was on the same growth path but hit puberty before I turned 12.
