When we were children my dad always told us to eat all our meat so we can grow to be big, strong and tall like him. There was a servant next door who was very short and my dad said that it was due to lack of protein in her diet. That has stuck with me since then.

Imagine what it does to a gymnast. It is not like they wait for a gymnast to stop growing before they train.

That makes sense. The bones are growing. You don't want to interfere with the growth. There is also something like muscle memory. Someone that doesn't reach a peak when they have the potentional are probably at a lower level later. I read that about testosterone. If I was beast, but you never became a beast. I am more beastly after time has past. My body remembers being a beast. Your body can't imagine it. The body tells you when to ease up. I imagine sprints or American Football is worse than weight lifting.

I can't see how this can be based on a scientific study. I have heard it as reason for children not to do weight training. I don't think it has any science behind it. Weight training isn't exactly hard physical labor. There are also child labor laws so you wouldn't be able to observe the effects.

Bingo. Because it's not backed up by what we know about physiology. So long as adequate nutrition and rest is provided to meet demand and traumatic injury does not occur, that claim had no basis, just an urban legend perpetuated in the 90's. Stressors such as proper weightlifting or any high intensity exercise, even in adolescence, promotes human growth hormone release, the major player in bone length promotion during adolescence (most certainly not testosterone).

Don't listen to the bad science below. Testosterone doesn't make women taller. It's not Testosterone that increase height, it's growth hormone. Any correlation with testosterone is because growth hormone (hGh) stimulates testosterone release in parallel to hGH's own effects.
Sure thing. I could have written that also, just wrote a quick summary, so skipped some small details. For once you managed to use google correctly. Tiny improvements. I'll give you that.

So current global politics are in fact massively anti-majority women. As well as anti alpha males. And pro beta males and minority women. The same can be said about vaccines trying to reduce alpha males into betas and later even kill them off too.
This is only loosely related to the posts. Have you even had your testosterone levels checked? There is talk about them falling and the level considered normal being reduced. It is somewhat of an interesting subject. I would not want to be on replacement myself. I imagine mine was fairly high when younger and still at a healthy level. I am sure it is a complicated topic.

Very low vaccination rate, 58 doses per 100 population. Denmark has 152 per 100 population. I think EU average is about 130.
Someone should do a study worldwide to compare death rates with vaccination rates.

The alpha wants to rule alone, so he want to keep as many small women as possible around him. The smaller the girls are, the more feminine features they also have. So that could also be a reason why alphas are more attracted to the shorter girls. And after awhile, the alpha didn't have the means in order to fend off all the beta's, so he settled for just one. Thus taller females get their place also, since the alpha let the beta's procreate with the ones he preferred less. Usually the ones needing less energy to control. And so possibly he managed to keep 2 or even 3 to himself.
As soon as we left the trees, probably due to the invention of fire (or climate changes in eastern Africa), the beta's banded up in order to take down the alpha. And so democracy was invented since everyone needed to get close to the fireplace, and so we turned less hostile. The bonobo did the same democracy without leaving the trees, but there they have shorter height difference between the sexes due to less sexual selection since they have orgies all the time. Thus everyone can reproduce. They have no dominant alpha like the gorillas or chimps, and so for the bonobo, their taller females compared to their close cousins chimps even rub their clits together, so they don't need a large one to get as aroused as for example with the gorillas or the chimps..
Are jealous bullshiting followers ranked around epsilon? When I need to be impressed to desire, I would not pay just to empty balls, when I left so many times GT Bruggen, Sharks, Oase, Globe, Wellcum with full heavy balls when I didn't want to waste my money when no dream in my mind.
