Should tall men stop dating short women (under 5′5″) to prevent passing on short genes to their children?

[verknallt]

Yes

No

I don't care

People should feel free to date whomever they want. There's nothing inherently wrong with being short, or having short children, anyway.

Taller people have a higher potential for health problems, so despite our height advantage, we're hardly superior. More joint & back pain, higher chances of cancer, and an overall shorter life span. If I could spare my hypothetical children those possible hardships, in exchange for not being able to reach the top shelf, then so be it.

Besides, I find shorter women more attractive, and I wouldn't turn one down just because I'm worried about her itty bitty genes "infecting" my children. You can take my shorties when you pry them from my cold, dead hands, lol.

I think you have that backwards. Men don't choose the women, women choose the men. Women just like to PRETEND that men are choosing them. I'm 6'5" and I choose the women that choose me. And by chance (and that's all it is is chance), women that choose me just happen to be overwhelmingly short.

So I'm not choosing to pass on my genes to a certain height woman. F***, I'm not passing on my genes at all.😆

[verknallt]

There are tons of tall women that would be attracted to you if you are 6'5"

Just look out for them

There might a fair amount of women enamored with my height. That doesn't mean me as a person. There's a lot more to then that my friend.

I think its the idiots who shouldn't procreate. Idiotic failure parents only create more useless people in society.

Being short and brilliant is way better than being tall useless and idiotic

We need more smart people to create a more productive society

[PretzelBeanie]

What's so wrong with short people that you think they should not exist?

[verknallt]

What's so wrong with tall people that should make us not want the new generation to be entirely tall girls and boys?

[PretzelBeanie]

That is a silly question. Nothing is wrong with tall or short people, or people who are average height. So we should want all of them to continue to the next generation.

[verknallt]

And there is nothing wrong with wanting the next generation to be mostly or entirely of tall people.

[PretzelBeanie]

Yes there is, because that means most or all short people would not have any kids, whether they want to have kids or not. That is the only way to make what you want to happen.

[verknallt]

Yeah welcome to reality, that's what we call "Evolution".

[PretzelBeanie]

Evolution happens naturally. What you are talking about is called "eugenics."

[verknallt]

Eugenics isn't bad if implemented properly.

[zagor]

Actually it would be better if the next generation was all short people. They eat less, take up less space, much smaller carbon footprint...

[chrissykerdock]

because it doesn't work like that
