I sometimes wonder if it's nature trying to breed us to average height. Like, I'm tall, my ex was around my height and our kids (girls) are around our height, only one taller than me though.

My mom was kinda short and my dad very tall, so their kids were tall but none of us as tall as my dad.

So, like, if you are already medium to tallish, no need to find a tall partner, but if you are short and want medium to tallish kids, you will need a tall partner to do that. And if you are quite tall, maybe you don't want your kids to be even taller, right? At some point that can be problematic. So then you are attracted to shorter partners.
