Whoever says height doesn’t matter is probably lying to you. According to the report ‘The Effect of Adolescent Experience on Labor Market Outcomes: The Case of Height’ published by a group of economics professors from the University of Pennsylvania, shorter men are likely to earn 13% lesser than their taller peers. While dating trends might be changing gradually, based on anecdotal evidence shorter men tend to be favored less by women, who traditionally go for men of the taller variety. Globally the average for mens’ height varies from region to region, with the average Indian man standing 5.8 feet tall (177 cm) while their American counterparts tower over them by a measly inch. Why are we talking so much about mens’ heights? © Eros Worldwide Well because it seems like even Bollywood’s macho-est of actors, Salman Khan, isn’t impervious to the effects of being on the shorter scale of things. A quick Google search will tell you that his official height remains a bit of a mystery, with figures being quoted anywhere from 5.8 feet tall to 5.5 feet. Over the years, he’s rarely been sported without his signature chunky shoes that he wears for all public affairs. And it looks like sometimes, despite affording him an extra couple of vertical inches, even that may not suffice for him. In a tweet that has been going viral, Salman bhai can be seen standing next to Telugu superstar Chiranjeevi (who himself is close to 5.8 feet in height based on publicly available figures), and another elderly man. Absolutely normal, right? Well, not entirely. A Twitter user called ‘Just A Fan.’ shared a zoomed-in version of the same photo, where it shows that bhai may have been sneakily standing on his toes, so as to elevate himself for the picture. Here’s the post for you to see: Salman Khan overcoming his Height! pic.twitter.com/NPocb2vtpj — JUST A FAN. (@iamsrk_brk) March 21, 2022 Twitter users have obviously been having a field day. This user commented, “is he short? I've never noticed... he always seemed tall to me”.While a second one noted the universality of this feeling, “Even They Wear Big Heel shoes to look Taller.”A third, more empathetic user shared their opinion, “There is nothing wrong with being short, the bad thing is feeling self-conscious about it so that all your shoes have 10cm soles that help you look tall” Needless to say, there’s nothing wrong with men being short. Sometimes it’s just that the insecurities we’re raised with take a lot longer to leave our side. Here’s hoping to see Salman Khan ditch his platform shoes and accept himself in a pair of flats View the full article

For a long time, society has kept coming up with different barometers to determine the worth of a man. Sometimes, it’s their profession that makes men important, sometimes, it’s their wealth, and often times the lack of melanin in their skin makes them more appealing. But far too often, a man’s physical attributes seem the easiest to target. While women have begun to find appreciation in all shapes and sizes, it’s not always been the same for men. A physically domineering man is seen as an ‘alpha’, whereas a shorter lad is considered a ‘beta’. Traditionally, it’s always been the taller and more muscular man who’s considered to be superior to the rest. While the entire concept of the alpha-male is quite ridiculous - an ill-informed piece of research that became a marketing gimmick - the impact of such a standard has unfortunately been far too real. But it’s 2022. And thankfully, more and more people are waking up to this scam and we’ve some celebrities to thank for it. While most of them may not be overtly public and honest about their heights like Tom Holland, their superstardom has gone a long way to show that times are changing and that there’s never been a better time to be a short guy: 1. Tom Holland © Reuters Standing a decent 5’8” tall, the Spiderman: Far From Home star has been doing the festival rounds with his towering co-star and girlfriend, Zendaya, by his side. Both Tom and Zendaya have been vocal about the ludicrous standards surrounding men’s heights, where the man is always expected to be taller than the partner. Good for them! 2. Allu Arjun © Allu Arjun Allu Arjun has always been a superstar, but Pushpa: The Rise has increased his pan-India appeal. He carried the entire film on his shoulders, and at no moment did you care about the fact that the stylish star is reportedly 5’6”. 3. Salman Khan © Twitter/ANI In a TV interview, Sushmita Sen had shared a nugget from the sets of Biwi No. 1. Reportedly, Salman Khan asked Sushmita why she wasn’t wearing her heels for the scene when the 5’9” actress replied that Director, David Dhawan, wanted her to wear flats so that she won’t tower over the 5’6” Salman Khan. To which, Sallu Bhai confidently encouraged her to wear the heels as he wasn’t insecure about a woman towering over him. Honestly, we’re a little surprised by this take coming from the Sultan star. 4. Shahrukh Khan © Twitter/ANI 5’7” - The man who’s stolen the hearts of millions across the world, Shah Rukh Khan is undoubtedly the poster-child for men who are comfortable in their own skin. He might be 5’7”, but the shade of his superstardom can dwarf anyone who’s in a room with him. 5. Shahid Kapoor © Shahid Kapoor Apart from playing problematic characters like Kabir Singh from time to time, Shahid Kapoor is actually a fairly charismatic actor. The national heartbreaker is 5’7”, but his fans don’t seem to mind that one bit. 6. Saif Ali Khan © Twitter/ANI Saifu’s versatility is one of his greatest strengths, and as an actor, he has an incredible range. Perhaps it may have something to do with his 5’7” build being easier to frame and shoot. 7. Aamir Khan © Twitter/ANI 5’5” - India’s 'Mr Perfectionist' has delivered hits after hits in his long and fabled Bollywood career. Whether it be as Sahir, the villain in Dhoom 3, or Siddharth Marathe, the scrappy protagonist from Ghulam, Aamir Khan has unequivocally captured the audience’s attention without them ever questioning his 5’5” frame. 8. Ram Charan © BCCL Ram Charan will soon be seen in Rajmouli’s epic RRR as the freedom fighter Alluri Sitarama Raju. The film has gratuitous action sequences and not once does the 5’8” star look out of place amidst all that tension and drama. So, it’s time to throw all your insecurities about your height out of the window. There’s no better way to be an attractive and confident man than to be comfortable in your skin. Disclaimer: Do note, all these heights are ball-park figures as different platforms record their numbers differently. Perhaps it may have something to do with short men being afraid to reveal the actual measurements, in case they’re seen and treated differently by their audiences. View the full article
