Do you think Prince really hates not being just short but overall small boned? I wonder if he has grown into full acceptance of his body type and shape? Or he still has moments of feeling envious of men with Tony M's shape.

I actually like his small stature. I'm not short but I think it really adds to Prince's mystique and intrigue. It kinda makes him seem more unusual and unique in my opinion. Actually I think trancending the physical to make your talents that much brighter has worked in his advantage. I think him adopting the heels is something on he can do. I think it IS Prince!
When he was dancing with the Game boys even though they were taller and more muscular Prince really looked larger than life.

Besides Prince, shouldn't worry. He has the bomb body shape anyway! That upside down triangle shape is my FAVORITE!!!!!

It Probably Does Bother Him..But I Happen to like him Small Boned and Short he's more Childlike and Elfin and I Just Love it. I Hate Overpowering , Aggressive , Hulking Men.....I Prefer his Magic.

Men are sterotypically tall and broad shoulders to be seen as conventionally attractive. So he might think about it from that point of view.

I always think it adds to his attractiveness because he does seem a bit insecure about it and that just makes him more human in my opinion.

I think everyone wants to feel attractive and we all worry about whether our nose is too big etc.. I suppose his height has always been pointed out to him so he couldn't help but feel that IT was an issue.

He's always refered to as pint sized, etc... That must be a bit of a bash to the male ego I reckon..!!

Anyway he did say this....

This is 4 the cab U have 2 drive 4 no money at all
This is 4 why I wasn't born like my brother, handsome and tall

So I reckon it does bother him a bit..

no.

I think he is happy with how he is

hell yeah....

HE WOULDN'T WEAR HEELS IF HE WAS COMFORTABLE WITH HIS HEIGHT.

I think the heels have become his trademark and its kind of cool.

I think P has accepted his shortness a long time ago and found a perfect solution:those high-heeled boots,makes us ladies go GAGA... :drool3:Thanks Prince I,m drooling again.....

What's an "upside down triangle" shaped body like?

I think when he was younger it probably bothered him a lot more. He must've put up with a lot of teasing during his teenage years. But by now he's probably accepted himself for the way he is.

Have we ever figured out how tall he really is? I've heard 5-2, 5-3,and 5-4.

Broad shouldered, flat stomach, normal waist.

A V shape is another name for it.

The way most guys want to look, basically. Regardless of height.

I wouldn't say Prince DISLIKES being short, but I'd imagine it was a hassle when he was younger with the name added as well. In many ways it has probably helped him become the man he is now.

Yep I've heard he doesn't like his name and I bet he got a bit of stick for it when he was at school and stuff.

I always wonder if that is why he is so keen on alias's. Like Jamie Starr etc..

It's like the name sounds more real and "normal" and dare I say it slightly "cool" and "trendy".

But then "Prince" does always stand out from the crowd.

But I bet he can't count the times someone has said "My dogs called Prince etc..."

Must be a bit of a knocker..

No wonder he turned it around and REALLY did stand out from the crowd.

The only reason why I do is because of what he said in the song "Lady Cab Driver" Kinda of the rapping part(that's what I call it.)

There is no way he's that short. The average number tossed around is at least 5'2"".

sosgemini said:

agreed.

No man wants to be shorter 5 "8

Personally I think men who are on the shorter end of the spectrum end up having more bubble like butts, and ladies dig that shit.

But every guy I've known who is shorter than 5 "8 or 5"9 has LMS (Little Man's Syndrome) which is a disorder in which the overcompensate for everything, and they can't take a fucking joke. And Prince is 5"3!

I'm not saying there is anything wrong with being short--I don't even think it's unattractive. I'm just saying, short men don't like being short.

He probably still doesn't like it, but it's part of what makes him so great @ what he does. He took a lot of shit, had a lot to prove. If he was average he may have never gotten into music seriously - may have been content just being gorgeous, fucking chicks, could have been a basketball player I guess (he's supposed to be really good)... But he was different & in his case different turned out to be fucking amazing.

i agree with this.

the actual "being short" aspect he's PROBABLY come to accept by now, and probably isn't the major issue it most likely was when he was younger. however, i have no doubt that his issues with being short contributed to, and helped form, a lot of his personality traits - which DO stay with him till this day.

youngstud98 said:

Are you people kidding?? He has the distinction of being the finest, sexiest, most talented "short" man ever!! He accepted and embraced that fact long ago!

Just watch him walk if you need to see his confidence in action!! But truthfully speaking, the man is such an amazing "giant" at what he does, I don't even think about his height until someone else brings it up.

any man prince's height would wish he was taller. i mean just look at the 6 inch stiletto heels that prince wears. i probably would b wearing them 2.

youngstud98 said:

What difference does it make how tall us girls are? The man is universaly considered short

CalhounSq said:

i want to know if girls that are taller than him still like him??? is it possible?

youngstud98 said:

I would be considered tall & I love the shit out of him He got heels, he can climb

CalhounSq said:

If he was taller then he wouldn't wear high heeled boots...
