I also watched that programme on BBC 3 . It was very interesting and also funny in places - especially when the guy said that he was stopped by the policewhiledriving his car - the the policethought he was a child in his dad's car (lol).
I felt really sorry for theman - it must be very difficult to have self-confidence when you're only 4' 8". Personally, I think anything less than 5'8" can be considered "short" for a guy.
However,it's not really the end of the world - personality counts for a lot too.
Tom cruise - 5'7"
Ja Rule - 5'6"
Elijah Wood - 5' 5"
Michael J Fox - 5' 5"
These are all short guys who have made a success of themsleves because they have personality. So I guess the question we should ask ourselves is:
"Would you rather be a short somebody or a 6-foot nobody?"
That helps to get things like height into perspective.
