Printablei'm 5'4, never had a problem in sports or with women, prince should take the final step and ditch the heels, he dont owe anyone any excuse. your height is beyond your control and more importantly a genetic trait, i dont want to look like anyone but my parents and my parents are short. when prince wears heels it's as self defeating as micheals plastic surgery. | |

Prince is small not a midget, so in that respect Prince is a normal height. BenS71 | |

JuliePurplehead said: If Prince were taller I don't think he would wear the heels. I think he would have worn them for a short period because that was the look in the 70's but I don't think he would have continued. I do believe his heel usage is due to his shorter stature. He just happens to make them look stylish in the process.
And Prince is normal height for Prince. I agree. I also think he'd probably wear really stylish shoes of the dress shoe type and possible still pull out the heels every once in a while because he just can rock them like that. follow the leader follow the leader | |

Morris wouldn't have been the only one wearing Stacy Adams.  We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

people even make jokes about tom cruises height, and he's 5 foot 7 inches. my husband isn't tall either, he's around my height 5 feet 5 inches and he's handsome!!! i don't know why there's this thought that only tall men are attractive?  | |

wow, the whole "diminutive rocker" subject is a sensitive one!
I believe Prince wears heels because he's self conscious about his height. But he's cool enough that he has incorporated it into his image as a whole, so it appears as more of a strength than an insecurity. Prince's whole image might be different if he'd been "born like my brother, handsome and tall." I am glad he wasn't, however! If he'd been born different his music would have been different. So no, I don't think he'd wear them if he was a "taller normal height."  And he probably shouldn't wear them now, they're terrible for your feet!My Legacy

No. He is insecure. Take away the need to be insecure & he won't need the crutch to his ego that heels provide. Too bad he can't man up like Billy Joel or Paul Simon, other short, but supremely talented writers & musicians & just be the height he is. | |

wtf is normal? You get the official "Dumbest Post of the Year so far" award. Even in your distorted view of reality that lionizes every aspect of Prince's being, you have to admit that 5'2" is at the very least significantly shorter than average height for a man. | |

Why does everyone assume that being short makes u insecure??  This is just from a female perspective, but being 5'2 has NEVER made me insecure...despite the teasing I've recived over the years.....okay...so I wear platform sneakers But thats cause I like them dammit  PRINCE IS WATCHING U  " When an Artist Creates, whatever they create belongs to society"

Apparently the average height for a male in the US is 5' 9.2"
http://pediatrics.about.c...t_male.htm So, like it or not, Prince is significantly shorter than the average. I'm not saying it to be mean, or put him down in any way, he's fine as he is. But facts is facts.  RIP  | |

Only thing I hate is pants always seem to be too long, even the ones that are petite and you're a woman. That's a fine height. Nothing wrong with a man who's 5'2, either, but I can understand how he'd feel insecure about it. I know plenty of women who have said they wouldn't date a guy shorter than them. Add to that that many women wear heels themselves, and it puts a guy like Prince in a tight spot. I think Prince's insecurities have made him what he is. He was born small but he made himself huge.

maybe you get shit, and I'm sorry (I understand, as I used to get shit for being skinny  ) But I think you might have gotten more shit if you were a foot taller than the average woman, just as I would have gotten more for being 400 pounds.
We're much more average, physically. My Legacy

I think the question should be:
"If Prince were taller would he still be the same person?" And my answer would be: "No. My speculation would simply be: If Prince were taller maybe he'd be playing basketball (we know he used to play); and then there's also the possibility of a "Napoleon complex;" someone with something to PROVE because maybe they're not given the attention of taller people. | |

They talked about whatever, then he asked her: "Does your pubic hair go up to your navel?" At that moment, we thought maybe we shouldn't encourage him to do interviews. | |
