I have a relative whose mom is less than 150 cm and his dad is even shorter than your dad yet he is 179 cm even though he says that he is 183 cm lmao. He has a brother who's 173cm but it's still pretty decent considering how short their parents are. They got super lucky yet my dad is 15cm taller than me. Life is garbage

Idk how that's possible
my grandma is very short like 150 my grandpa has same height i have when he's younger, maybe even more taller than me he was probably like 180 cm.

my two cousins are 196 and 197 and my aunt is just 152 cm and their father 177-78.

Science won't be able to explain how your 2 cousins are that tall. Are you sure they weren't adopted?
lol xd they look like their relatives

also my other cousin he's from maternal side (the other 2 is from paternal) something like 192 cm and his mom probably something like 163 and my uncle is 179 cm. i'm the hobbit of my family lol.

Your cousins weirdly outgrew their parents. Again, Idk how that's possible.

Every one of my relatives who knew my dad expected me to be tall because as I said my dad is tall but when they look at me know they always ask me how the fuck I ended up being the height I am. They expected me to have grown taller

dad: 165
mom: 166
me: 177
I used the mid-parental height formula (it's kinda dogshit but you can use it to get a basic idea of how tall someone is going to end up) and your mid height should have been 172cm considering your parents' height. However, a person in general can end up +-5 cm from the mid height so you tilted towards that +5cm side and you ended up at 177.

lol . he is 175cm rounded up . also CH lists afternoon heights . so he has every right to claim 175cm anyway
I thought he listed their minimum heights not the mid heights. Then I can claim 176cm instead of 175cm but I lose height quickly throughout the day and reach my minimum height pretty fast. Anyway, I could still claim 176 because it's in between my max and min height. Is thag why you claim to be 177cm?

i claim 177 because thats about the midway between my morning and evening height

i will definitely not claim my low height while there are billions of men claiming a height taller than what they are lol . and i am not lying but claiming a height that i actually measure

also most people guess me 179-180
