2. Hey..hey....I'm 5'9...careful now....

I have a low center of gravity.

3. Yes it does

I saw Sylvester Stallone in person years ago and I was shocked at his stature. I expected him to be 6 feet tall at least.

[Arkham House]

4. Others--Redford, Newman, Dean, Stallone...

Bogart, Tracy, Nicholson...all short. On the other hand--Welles, Peck, Heston, Stewart, Cooper were tall. But on the whole, movie stars are shorter than you think they are...and by the way, I'm 6'2"...:-)...

5. I keep hoping that I can find a woman around my height...

so that my kids can reach that height.

11. I'm 5'10 and single

I always hated dating shorter guys because, as my dad put it:

Nose to nose, their toes are in it
toes to toes, their nose is in it.

I hate it when men talk to my boobs, instead of my face.

There are some beautiful women in my office who are 6' tall. Most are married already, though.

[Fountain79]

12. Umm....since when did guys need to be shorter...

for us to look at women's boobs?

[noonwitch]

16. It makes it harder to turn away when their eyes are at that level

short guys can't even be subtle about it.

[Fountain79]

18. I guess that's true....

do you consider 5'9 short? shorter yes..but short?

[LostinVA]

6. Sly Stallone is only about 5'7"... Tom Cruise even shorter

[Deja Q]

14. Maybe THAT'S why Tom's so against the gay thing!

:rofl:

[wildhorses]

7. yep, I've noticed that...

prolly cos I'm 5'10":P

[liontamer]

8. Most people are under 6 feet

why would one need to be taller to be an actor?

[WoodyTobiasJr]

9. The camera adds 6 inches

[azmouse]

10. Here's a website that shows celebs heights.

13. Better that than being 6 feet under

:wow:

[terrya]

15. Yeah.I think Jack Nicholson is under 6'

[MadHound]

17. Average height for a male is 5'10

And god knows, Hollywood is all about playing to the averages. Plus cinematographicly wise, having a very tall person in the scene can sometimes distract from the movie, or be played for the laugh factor rather than the serious as would be intended.
