There's nothing wrong with being on the short side. I'm close to 5'7" and I have no complaints. Sure the guys will make a few cracks now and again but its all in good fun. It also opens up plenty of doors in terms of women and athletics. Most girls are 5'6" and under and enjoy being with a guy whose around their height. I'm also a swimmer/triathete so my height makes me perfect for the sport. You're height doesn't constitute a damn thing in this world. And in a world where people suffer from cancer and poverty, you should be concerned with a few more things than what people think of you Arturo. The more time you spend complaining about life is time lost. So Arturo, put a tampon in your vagina and man up. People don't respect you because your a tool. bigballin says on 21/May/08
That is ridiculous, anonymous. The reality is that Arturo couldn't possibly be more right. It's pretty obvious that you are not a short guy. If you were, there's no way you could disagree. Being a short person myself, I couldn't even begin to tell you about the bull**** we receive ON A DAILY BASIS. Yes, every day I am reminded of my height. I'm 5'5" which isn't even THAT short. Although some of you would disagree. It's only a few inches below the male average of 5'8" to 5'9". But still, I find it pathetic that people seem to think so highly of themselves because they're a few inches taller.

I have to disagree with you, Arturo.
Unless the person you're talking to is 6'1+, then there's really no head tilting if you're at least 5'7. A few obvious inches in difference, but you're still looking directly at them eye to eye. Build can also affect the perception of height. I'm sorry you had to deal with what you dealt with, but that doesn't speak for everyone's experience in this height bracket.
There are many A-list actors in the 5'7/5'8 range - in many countries that is an average, even taller than some male averages. What a few a**holes say on a messageboard or in real life doesn't override reality. Arturo says on 14/Dec/07
Sigh. Why do humans crave a reason to marginalize each other? Are we so insecure that we need to sit around and feel bigger than the famous people who are physically smaller than us? If it's not obvious enough from the tone of my message I am a soft 5'7" and I can't tell you how much hell I receive. Women, employers, men...no one takes you seriously when they have to tilt their head down to talk to you and one's height is not a choice! It is a total crap shoot and the people who are "lucky enough" to hold their skull a few inches higher than other people LOVE to lord it over them. What can you do... Bserious says on 2/Oct/07
You know what? Regular guy is right. It all seems to be bottom-lined to the height of the short guy, like he is a genius for a midget... Let's you know why some fight so hard for that extra inch. Regular Guy says on 27/Apr/07
See it's so funny how people give short guys so much hell when they're doing all they can to be sucessful and acomplish their goals and when they finally do they'll get their credit for it but from generation to generation they're still gonna get picked on and laughed at all over again in a repeated cycle.

I think Martin Scorsese should team up with all the short guys in Hollywood on a movie Pacino, Pesci, Cruise and Stallone should all be cast in it. It would be very interesting. Comedy maybe. What should we name it? Mr. T says on 10/Feb/07
DeLaurentiis is pushing 90, though, isn't he? footballed28 says on 6/Feb/07
there was a teacher from Spain who claimed he was 5'2...tho I suspected he was more in the neighborhood of 5'...he was a head shorter than everyone in our school leonari says on 4/Feb/07
I say 5'3" was his peak height! Rarely does one see such a short individual as him...Departed sucked. the shredder says on 2/Feb/07
I say Pesci 5'4 peak , 5'3 now ! Gonzalo says on 2/Feb/07
Pesci I guess is around 5`4. Mario says on 1/Feb/07
And how tall you guy´s think Pesci is? To me they look practicly the same height. Glenn says on 1/Feb/07
Amen to that Gonzalo.and yes,5-3.just got Dino Delaurentis who was 5-4. Gonzalo says on 31/Jan/07
He is a midget. 5`3 sounds reasonable for him. He made Deniro a giant footballed28 says on 30/Jan/07
he is only 5'3? I guess I am just a little surprised...always thought he was around 5'5 Mario says on 21/Jan/07
Well he's exactly as tall as Joe Pesci, who is here listed here as 5 ft 4. Anthony says on 20/Jan/07
THANK YOU, ROB!
5'3 is bang on for his peak, though I'd wager closer to 5'2 nowadays. Small guy and along with Spielberg the finest director of the post-Hitchcock days of cinema. Marc says on 20/Jan/07
I always figured 5'4", but after seeing him on the red carpet, he seemed even shorter. 5'3" seems correct. leonari says on 20/Jan/07
absolute max height for scorsese. He never was above that. |
