Ceasar, I go by what I see when I'm standing next to the guy, not how people appear in the movies. If I judged merely by photos and watching films, like you I'd be guessing. I can't tell you how many times I either met or saw up close some famous celeb who on screen always appeared to be tall and in person was my height or even shorter than me. And in movie after movie, some of these people were as tall or sometimes taller than actors I knew were in real life taller.

Brad Pitt was an inch shorter than Edward Norton he is not under 5'11'' regardless of whatever lifts he wears. He can look 6'2'' in lifts. MARK WAHLBERG ISNT 5'7. He's a solid 5'8'' as he was about a half inch taller than Glenn. Some of you are pretty histerical trying to make these guys an inch or 2 shorter than what they are.

If he was 2 inches shorter than Brad Pitt in the Ocean's movies that would make him 5-8, which he looks in just about every movie hes in. Pitt is 5-10 max If you look at most of the picture evidence on him.

Caesar, I've been next to the guy. Have you? He's short. Period. End of argument.
Again, if you want to believe he's 5'8, then you have to downgrade everyone he has ever worked with by 1.5-2 inches. Therefore Baldwin would have to be 5'10, DiCaprio 5'9, Pitt 5'9, Wahlberg 5'5, Sheen 5'4, Jude Law 5'9, Clooney 5'9, etc.

i just watched the bourne identity and he looked quite short in the whole movie,not just some scenes. i was watching talented mr.ripley sometime ago and felt like he was a true 5'8, until i saw his height listings at most sites.
he looks really short, and if he truly is 5'10, then its quite weird, considering that a 5'9 johnny depp can look tall in a lot of places,even barefoot.

A few shots to check out.
Here with several people including George Clooney:
With 5'7" Mark Wahlberg:
Matt Damon and wife Luciana Barroso enjoy a double date night out on Friday with actor pal Robert Downey Jr. (5'7") and his wife Susan.:
Seen here looking considerably shorter than 5'11" Brad Pitt:
(I wonder what the bags hide)
With 5'6" Don Cheadle:
I worked at Fox when Cheadle was in Picket Fences and I can say for a fact that he's no more than 5'6". I could easily look right over the top of his head.
Come on. In every single one of those pictures Damon is in the background, often considerably, except the one with Cheadle. Provide some unprejudiced pictures and then make your case. According to this web site, Cheadle is a little over 5'8. I can't take your in-person judgment on blind faith. Damon looks 5'9-5'10. I compared him carefully to other famous actors in The Departed. He looked three inches taller than 5'7-5'7.5 Wahlberg, nearly four inches taller than Martin Sheen, 1-2 inches shorter than Leonardo DiCaprio, two inches shorter than Alec Baldwin, who is at least 5'11.5 and probably 6'0. He is another type who has put on some weight and looks shorter than he is. Damon is a weak 5'10. Not 5'10.5-5'11 like Glenn said, but a solid 5'9.5-5'10.

In Ocean's 11 (12 & 13) he looks roughly 2 inches shorter than Brad Pitt who is listed at 5'11". I'd say Damon is about 5'9".

Baldwin is exactly 5' 11". I snuck into The Shadow stage at Universal right by the Seaquest stage and ran into him in period threads. You are right, he's owning Matt with ease. You might be right about 5' 8" . The 5' 10" figure is another Glenn fantasy over-inflating to adjust to his afterdark shortcomings. He looks 5' 11" in Glenn's world. Matt wears those big tread jobs in the Bournes. He's short in every film with male actors at his left and right. That's a great shot of Damon with Pitt, now put Glenn below Damon as he photographed. Ask Glenn to explain. "I wasn't in my Portman's".

Remember, Damon looked 2 inches at most taller than Glenn with very chunky shoes. And most people agree that Glenn was really 5-7 at the most. Plus Damon looks 5-8 in movies. Damon at 5-8 isnt hard to buy at all.

Damon is not taller. I've seen him. He looks 5'8". If Pitt is wearing lifts then Damon is wearing super lifts! Just look at his shoes. And at that distance, having Garcia a few inches in front won't change the perspective that much.
In your first picture, the feet of Damon and Pitt are not visible, but 9 out of 10 times Damon looks one inch shorter than Pitt, especially in the Oceans Films. I was just watching The Departed and Damon is 2-3 inches taller than Mark Wahlberg, who at worst is 5'7. How tall a guy "looks" is not necessarily aligned with how tall he actually is. Richard Ashcroft looks 6'3 and he's 5'10-5'11. John Rhys-Davies is or was over 6'0 and looks 5'9. Those are extreme cases, but body type makes a major difference as to how tall someone appears. Damon is a stocky guy who looks shorter than he actually is.

Picture 1: Pitt is clearly in lifts there, the same kind he used when he appeared a couple inches taller than Clint Eastwood. Do you believe Pitt is taller than Eastwood? I didn't think so.
Picture 2: Come on now. Garcia is in the foreground and in the centre! And they still look the same height if you drew a line! Damon is at least 5'9 and probably taller.

Now, in the next photo, notice that Damon (seen on the extreme left) is wearing suspicious shoes and still looks shorter by at least two inches than Pitt. He also looks about an inch shorter than Andy Garcia who's 5'9". Seen him, talked to him, no question he's 5'9". And in the photo, Garcia is wearing shoes with what look like a heel hight that's nearly nonexistent.

And in that shot, check out how tall Elliot Gould is and he's leaning over. He's a lot taller than anyone there. Gould is roughly 6'3" when he stands up straight or at least he was when he was younger.

I've seen Damon, Clooney and Pitt in person. Damon appears 5'8". Clooney looks like a solid 5'10", perhaps even closer to 5'11". And Pitt always seems to be my height or 5'11".
The problem is that whenever they are together, Damon looks one inch shorter than Pitt, and frankly, I would think Pitt is more likely to use lifts than Damon.

The problem comes in because the three main stars of the Ocean's movies aren't tall at all...and that's hard for ppl to face because ppl don't wanna see stars such as Brad Pitt or George Clooney as low as 5'10 or 5'9. If I had to throw my big money down, i'd say barefoot it's something like this: Matt Damon: 5'8-5'8.5 (5'9 Max) George Clooney: 5'9-5'9.5 (5'9.5 Max) and Brad Pitt: 5'9-5'10, probably 5'9.5 but (5'10 Max). Several times we've seen them all stand pretty much eye level, nearly the same height. I think Pitt just took the ball and ran with it because it was almost like they were all the top three goodlooking men in the business competing against each other, so how can Pitt get an edge on them, by looking taller. This is where his customs came in, in reality, barefoot, not much difference between these guys, and none of them hit 5'11 much less 6'0!

By the way, speaking of camera tricks, check out this photo of Bill Holden next to Audrey Hepburn during the filming of SABRINA on a New York City street:
Click Here
Holden was supposedly 5'11". But for some reason they felt they needed to make him tower over 5'7" Hepburn seen in ballerina flats which she wore in most of her films when her feet weren't seen. As you can see, they placed the boards so he could walk on them. They did this sometimes just to allow the proper camera angle so that with a specific sized shot, both actors would remain within the frame.

That's because he IS 5'8"! That or the two times I saw him it was a body double that's shorter. Or maybe he has very bad posture. I know my wife tells me I have bad posture. Many of her friends find it hard to believe I'm 5'11". Most think I'm around 5'9". Then I'll stand up straight in front of them and they can't believe it saying "I had no idea he was so tall!" I think I must gain about two to three inches standing erect.

Clay, have you seen Damon up close like I have? Trust me. He's short. No question. Clooney used to be about 5'11" but has lost some height. Why? I have no idea. Back when I first saw Clooney in the early 1990s, he and I appeared to be the same height or 5'11", but when I last saw him a couple of years ago he looked about 5'10". He's definitely taller than Matt Damon and from the photo he looks to be two inches taller. Also remember that Clooney has somewhat bad posture so had he stood up straight he'd have looked even taller than Damon.

I know about camera angles, and frankly, they are usually easy to spot when directors are trying to favour a particular actor. Pavement is a different story, especially if the feet can't be seen. In the Talented Mr. Ripley, Damon's feet could be seen next to Cate Blanchett, hence why I knew he was wearing dress shoes and she was wearing heels.
Damon is at worst 5'9, and even that is pushing it. Alec Baldwin was 6'0 or close to it in his prime. Jude Law is 5'11. He has strange posture and may have looked shorter to you, Frank. Again, one-time meetings are more or less useless for ascertaining with certainty one's height. The first time I met this one manager where I work, I thought he was 5'7. A few weeks later I saw him actually stand up straight next to a legitimate 5'8 guy, and was several inches taller, looking nearly 5'11. I was somewhat blown by how my height perception could be so off. His posture when he appeared 5'7 didn't even look that bad to me, but it was. Determining height based on brief encounters is actually quite difficult.
Glenn never said he measured at 5'6.5. He said he measured at 5'7.5, and Rob put this listing on a number of pictures, and Glenn forced him to change it back to 5'8. I suspect Glenn was a solid 5'7 at night regardless of how late he slept in the afternoon. However, he really thought he was 5'8, hence the standard inflating of every celebrity by 1-2 inches, and his belief that the average American male height is 5'11-6'0, which is clearly wrong.

Having worked in the entertainment business for almost forty years I can tell you that camera tricks are done all the time to make shorter actors look taller. Sometimes just placing an actor a few inches closer to the camera will make him appear to be as tall or taller than other actors who are in reality much taller.
The first film where Damon starts to look his true height is THE DEPARTED. He's several inches shorter than 5'11" Alec Baldwin. He's about the same height as 5'8" Mark Wahlberg.

Just watch the Ocean's films. Compare him with Clooney & Pitt and especially Andy Garcia. He had on his big ones with Glenn. He's 5' 9" with possibility of shorter. Glenn was probably at his 5' 6.5" after dark height. Getting owned by a person 5' 9" by a few inches must have irked Glenn. He really piled it on saying he looks 5' 11" at times. Wow.

Glenn said 5' 10" possibly 5' 11" next to Affleck. Weak 5' 9". He was owning Glenn by a few but then again it seems everybody does and it makes no sense when Glenn says he's 5' 8". The Baldwin comparison is great. You might be right on 5' 8". Damon wears the Vin Diesel chunkys in the action pictures.
Damon looked 5'11 next to a "5'8" Glenn. Glenn is a minimum 5'7, so Damon was 5'10. I think Glenn said he was wearing boots in that photograph too, while Damon was in thick dress shoes.
Frank2:
Damon is 5'8". I've seen him and no way is he close to being 5'10". Not unless he uses height enhancing footwear.
Damon was nearly two inches taller than 5'8 Cate Blanchett in heels in the Talented Mr. Ripley. He was in shoes, not boots. Even with lifts it would be impossible for him to look taller than her in heels if he were 5'8. Damon was only an inch shorter than 5'11 Jude Law. Again, Damon "looks" shorter than he is. I have known a number of guys that "look" shorter than they really are.

The Baldwin comparison is great. You might be right on 5' 8". Damon wears the Vin Diesel chunkys in the action pictures.
Damon looked 5'11 next to a "5'8" Glenn. Glenn is a minimum 5'7, so Damon was 5'10. I think Glenn said he was wearing boots in that photograph too, while Damon was in thick dress shoes.
Frank2:
Damon is 5'8". I've seen him and no way is he close to being 5'10". Not unless he uses height enhancing footwear.
Damon was nearly two inches taller than 5'8 Cate Blanchett in heels in the Talented Mr. Ripley. He was in shoes, not boots. Even with lifts it would be impossible for him to look taller than her in heels if he were 5'8. Damon was only an inch shorter than 5'11 Jude Law. Again, Damon "looks" shorter than he is. I have known a number of guys that "look" shorter than they really are.

Frank2, welcome back man! Did Glenn's leaving bring you back out of retirement?
As for Damon, 5ft8 huh? I could definitely see 5ft9 for him, not to mention my ex-girlfriend met him years ago, and at 5ft 7 she said he wasn't much taller then her. Also, she said I was considerably taller then Damon at 5ft11.75!

More like 5'8". I know since I stood right next to him. He was wearing enormous shoes and was still considerably shorter than me and I'm 5'11". Just look how short he is standing next to Alec Baldwin in THE DEPARTED. Baldwin towers over him. Baldwin is 5'11".
That's ridiculous. There are countless photographs of him, Pitt and Clooney. He sometimes looks the same height as those two, usually no more than an inch shorter. He's 5'10 with ease in every movie I have seen with him. Downgrading him two inches requires downgrading all actors he has ever worked with two inches as well. The man gives a "short" impression because of his low set, sloping shoulders.

Damon is no where near 5'10". A good friend of mine had a picture from her birthday in NYC and Damon happened to be in the restaurant - she got a pic with him - and he was shorter than her and she and I are both 5'9". He's 5'7" ish - and yes, guys that is short for a man. The average American male is 5'10".

-5'9 = Short
5'10-6'1= Average
6'2+ = Tall
Matt Damon is exactly on 5'10 178cm, 178 is just over 5'9 so they get called kinda short while 187 is just under 6'2 so they get called kinda tall
There is only a 1cm difference from him being short and this is not clearly noticeable so i deem him kinda short.

Look at the facts people 5' 10'' is a little bit over average in the US, average is still in the 5' 9'' range for a man in the United States. I'm 5' 9 25'' and I never feel short unless I'm around guys that are 6' 4'' and 6' 5''.
Now 5' 9'' is not tall at all by any means but lets get one thing strait it's not short it's 3 inches away from 6' 0 and 3 inches is a fare amount of height to have on someone but it's not towering at all, I have a lot of friends that are 6' 0'' and up.

Superman is spot on. The older generations did not average the height of today's youth due to less hermones and other junk in their foods.
The averages including full range of U.S. ages of men is not anywhere close to 5'10" as some folks believe. Just a decade and a half ago the male average was 5'8" among black and white males in the U.S. which means the average range was more 5'6" to 5'10". Also you have to account for the fact you see some shrinkage in height in the population over 60 in many cases, but records do not update as it goes unrecognized or ignored generally.

Jared with you on a basketball team your perception is slightly skewed.
Avg. range in U.S. is 5'7" to 5'11" with short avg at 5'7" and tall avg. at 5'11". Anything below 5'7" is start of short, and anything above 5'11" is start of tall. That is why when you are 5'9" you see many people taller and many people shorter because 5'9" is mid average range. You have to remember that averages may be a little higher if you only focus on an age group like 18 to 35 year-olds. You must consider 18 to 85 year olds now-a-days. Average male life span has increased to 78 in the U.S. so you must account for the shorter range of men ages 50 to 85.

GSP, I'd agree with those averages! 5ft8-6ft these days seems to be the average margin, and in fact it seems like I see more 5ft11 guys these days then ever before.
As for Damon, I actually watched The Bourne Ultimatum last night and it's funny how all over the place his height is in that film. At one point he's the same height as Paddy Considine(5ft9.5), then both shorter and taller then Joan Allen(5ft10). I do think Damon favors bigger heeled footwear, and at times wears a moderate lift. But 5ft9.5-5ft10 sounds about right. This would track with Glenn's observations and pic above. Damon could be 5ft9.5, and with a 1.5 inch gain from the boots Glenn says he was wearing, be around 5ft11. I'm sure his stocky build only adds to the illusion he's a short guy too!

Yeah, I think everyone can agree that isn't very tall. I'm 5'9" myself, and when out with other guys I either feel average and on par with my friends or shorter. If one of the guys is shorter than me it's obvious that they aren't tall to begin with. I also think that 5'10", if you have a big build or a muscular build can look short. Like 5'8". I think a good height to be is 6 foot or 6'1".

Anyway, my thoughts are 5.95 for Damon, especially seeing him in Good Will Hunting where he was nose to nose with Robin Williams.

benj, I totally agree with you man. I'm 5'10.5" also, and a coworker of mine is 6 ft(female, tallest female I know off a basketball court) and she thought I was 6ft also, but then the other day someone said I was short. The 5'10" range is very deceptive. Footwear can make all the difference. Same with posture. 5'10 can be tall and short depending on the circumstances.

What people seem to forget is how small a single inch really is. It's very difficult to see a difference in height within 1, 2 or even 3 inches. At About 5'10.5 myself lots of people think i'm smaller. Some people think I'm taller.

damon 5'10 even and clooney 5'10.75. Clooney has horrible posture. Clooney consistently appears under 5'11 even though he probably essentially is.

some girl on the internet wrote this big article going on about how Matt Damon couldn't be the "sexiest man alive" because he "has been reported to be very short and rather puny in stature in person." Jeeze I know height is important to women but c'mon she only doesn't think he's attractive enough for her because some idiots consider him to be "short",that's rediculous!

I wouldnt say 5'10 is short at all for a regular person but when your talking about an A list movie star to an average fan it does seem kind of short. Because to alot of fans in their heads these actors are larger than life so they expect them to be taller so when you see one that isnt you think of him as short. Other big time actors like Cage, Dicaprio, Hartnett, Will Smith, Affleck, Hanks among others are all around 6' or more so comparing Damon to them he is kind of short. I think thats what the fan meant when he said he was short, if he was some random guy on the street you wouldnt say or think that .

anybody saying 5'10 "is short has some very serious issue and should get his head checked somewhere. Really. This idiotic bull has to stop. Just becuase it's a height page doesn't make average height short or small. Any human being ith half a brain would say 5'10 " is average for a man.period.

Jude Law is 5'11? In Gattaca, they said he was 6'1 and that Ethan Hawke was 2 inches shorter(so i thought Jude would be at least 6'.....lol) anyway, Matt looks 5'10+ and can't be shorter than 5'9.5

Matt damon is perfect male height, if anything above normal average male height slightly, but most important of all he has great proportions (weight/muscle/stature ratio) which is why he can look tall, and one of many reasons he is an action movie star and you are not.
Keep in mind alot of these reports are out to knock an actors reputation. With that in mind, anyone who says 5'10 is real short either wants to try knock him his rep or must have a genetic height disorder & trying to make themself feel better about being lanky/unnecessarily tall (6'1+ approx).

If you watch Bourne Supremacy, there is a scene where Matt Damon goes to Berlin airport and they check his passport. On the passport is stated 5'9". Unless this is his actual height, they would have no reason to state his height otherwise. If any thing, they usually INCREASE a celeb's height in scenes such as this! So I think this is his actual height.
The photo above also suggests about 5'9".

He doesn't look very tall but never looks short. Matt is a good height as he could play roles that require height and roles that require less stature.
In the U.S. avg height ranges from 5'7" to 5'11" for males, with short to tall avg ranges. So Matt is in the taller avg range. No one should call him short, he has a couple of inches on Glenn who is in the shorter avg range. But both Glenn and Matt are in that avg range.

Well eddie, Jude Law is 5'11". And Paltrow has a long model-like 5'9" body, maybe 5'9.5" in slippers in that scene.
So, 5'10" sounds reasonable for Damon. He was also barefoot with 5'10" Minnie Driver before, and they looked about the same height.

I dont know if movies are a great guage of anything but in Talented Mr. Ripley, the scene where his character Tom Ripley is in the bathtub and Gweneth Paltrow's character calls him out about the rings...he gets up and is standing next to her barefooted and naked and is right about the same height...she appears to be in a robe and maybe slippers....Jude law appeared to be 1 inch taller than Damon in the film

He is average height. Get over it. Honestly I've seen pictures with him and brad pitt who is taller. Matt Damon still looks good. He doesn't look short at all. He is really well proportioned and knows how to dress himself and never looks short to me. Of course, he isn't short at all, but people in the United States are so obsessed with guys being 6'1, it's a shame that average height is branded as short.

Average height of the U.S. also includes all ages.
Everyone seems to forget this also. If you go to any place where senior citizens hang out, you will notice that they are noticeably shorter. At a college a guy may feel short, but at an old folks home, the same guy may feel tall.

On The Bourne Supremacy DVD it shows a wanted poster when you play the movie listing him as 5'10" and 175 lbs. Probably as a way to correct the numerous 5'9" listings in the Bourne series. I do believe he's a true 5'10"er though.

Am I the only one to notice how weird the quote is at the top of the page?
The fan starts out by describing Matt as "rather short." then goes to say he is 5'8 but Matt was "only a few inches taller." now if he is 5'8, then add a few(assuming 3-4) inches you get 5'11-6'0!!
Now, in what alternate universe is 5'11-6'0 classified as "rather short?" Anyone agree?

From my experience, height does matter to almost all girls. One example is that tall people loom over shorter people and this comes across as confidence to females; however if you are aware of it you can compensate. They have also done studies and have found that height does influence career success dramatically. oh and I am 5'11 without shoes and I am considered short.

Those average heights are generally for whole populations...including older people who have shrunk. I think the average height for 20-somethings is 5-10 flat in US and probably 6-0 in a place like Holland. In other words you have to add a little to the reported average to describe a typical guy on the street.

I think he's more 177, may be 5'10 right out of bed, Rob, you had him at 177, what made you upgrade him, and what are the chances for 177? Thanks.

Hey Marcus, are there areas in Sweden where the average height is above the national ave. ? For example, I've been in certain regions in countries, where the average is several inches taller/shorter than the national ave. What do you think?

To Whatever: 5/11 Is not short. The average man in Sweden wich a country with tall people is 179cm.ers The figures and numbers you have short or tall and average and so on is just rubbish. 5/11 is not short.Maybe youre list is in your head but it is NOT representative in the real world.

The same people who claim 5'10.5 is average in North America are the same ones that claim 6'1 is the average in the Netherlands. There is also the conversion from metric to customary that is usually rounded off, further distorting the data as presented to the rest of the world. In reality, average height in the Netherlands is 182 cm, or 5'11.5. Average height in North America for a white male is 5'9.5.

Thanks Greg, that's reasurring. It is definately a parrellel to anorexia (you sound pretty big to me). Your measurements are impressive. I think you'd agree that 180 lbs of muscle is probably better than 250 lbs of lard ass. I think I'll follow you're example and drink three shakes a day instead of one. If permissable, perhaps you could tell how much you bench, squat, shoulder/military press, deadlift, tri curl, bi curl and barbell or bent over row. Thanks again for your consideration. I get the impression that you speak from experience and know what your typing about, which is very refreshing.
Take care,
P.S. Glenn, I know this has nothing to do with height but I think I owe him the courtesy of a reply.

danius, doesn't make sense at all what you're saying. So we should list Glenn's morning height and Damon's nicht height? That would make Damon's height less accurate... And by the way, you're saying there is a 6 cm difference, so Glenns height (173 cm) plus 6 cm, that would make 179 cm which would mean a little upgrade for Matt...

then why does he look like an inch shorter than clooney?
Because Clooney is 5'11. More legitimate a 5'11 than Pitt, though they are both probably the same height barefoot. Damon is 5'10, possibly 5'9.5-5'9.75 at the absolute shortest.

With these statistics, I feel more slender and delicate than normal. I'd be interested in peoples thoughts. Apoligies if this segues off Matt Damon.

5-10 is what, taller than 65-70 percent of the population? Yet 5-9 is just one inch below that. Most people are in the 5-9-5-10 range overall. This guys perspective is all screwed up, lol. Its pretty funny. Im wondering If hes even the height he says he is. He says hes close to 6-1, yet doesnt feel tall? When I was 6-0-6-1 in high school I was one of the tallest. Even in college at 6-1 I felt like I was taller than most. Its hard to buy what this guy says when I can go out in public right now and see the najority of males in the 5-9-5-10 region. Even young males like he says, He must think the entire male population is short.

"But once again, that is perception vs fact. Average is average, period!"
100 percent agreed. These loonys think 6-0 is close to average, or that 5-10 looks 6-0. Yet 6-0 is taller than 80-85 percent of the population.
"Nevertheless, the overall male average is little over 5'9. By the way, why not ask someone in the average height range (5'7-5'11) if 5'9 is short? You simply ask women, who tend to look at tall men, and you ask tall men, to whom relatively speaking, 5'9-5'10 is short. It seems the heights of non-white men don't matter, nor do the opinions of regular average or short statured men. You are choosing a certain audience to get the result you desire. By the way, "I am 5'10.5, not 5'9. I don't feel tall or short, and never been called either since I have been an adult."
Right, nobody from 5-7-5-11 is going to call somebody 5-9 short for sure, and there is more of those people than over 6-0 by a wide margin. And I wouldnt even do it at 6-3. I actually just asked a 5-9 friend of mine today If hes ever been called short before, and he said no. He actually said that most people think hes 5-10 at least.

i chose white males, because asians and hispanics are generally short people. I could of said blacks, but the average height in blacks and whites are pretty much the same. i chose in their late 20s, because that is when you are at your peak height. I love how people who are struggling with 5 ft 9 or 5 ft 10 get very insecure about their height, and have to come up with every little excuse and research up every little statistic that doesnt even matter to try to boost their self esteem. ryan secrest is 5 ft 7.75 actually which is 5 ft 8. like i said, every little detail and excuse. only insecure people do that. 5 ft8 and a 5 ft 9 person will look the same height ok. the outside world sees 5 ft 9 people as short, and apparently even alot of people on here think so too. and no i didnt get turned down by a chick for being too tall because I actually face reality, and that is I am not THAT tall. I am BARELY over 6 ft. Measured last time at 6.05 which is somewhat tall. My ideal height is 6 ft 3- 6 ft 4. But I am almost 20 years old so I can pretty much face the fact that I wont be that just like how ya can face the fact that 5 ft 9 is still kinda short.

Any ten government and/or non-government websites will tell you that! Everyone have a great day. It's been fun.

Im willing to bet that anynymous guy got turned down by a chick for being too all. Hardly anyone is going to think a legit 5-9 guy is short. Anyone who thinks that is clueless. Especially considering 5-9 will look 5-10 or even over that too many. And Seacrest is 5-7 at most, which is short. The Anonymous poster must think a 5-9 guy has to make 200,000 to attract women as well, lol.

When Viper says that 5'9" is short, it's akin to someone saying a circle is actually a square.
To be fair, Viper said 5'9 was average, not short.

the 5 ft 9 people on here complaining about how they arent short reminds me of ryan secrest. he is 5 ft 8, and he gets pounded with short jokes all the time, and he cries about how he is average. you can not tell the difference between a 5 ft 8 and a 5 ft 9 guy. 5 ft 9 people are short, get over it. AND ACTUALLY, STATISTICALLY, WHILE MALES WHO ARE IN THEIR LATE 20S ARE IN THE 5 FT 10.5 RANGE!
Ryan Seacrest is called "short" because he is actually about 5'7. If he were 5'9 and people called him "short" it would be because they expected him to be taller. And we were talking overall averages, not strictly young white males. I didn't know young white males were the only group that mattered. Even so, MEASURED studies put it at about 5'10, interviews put it at 5'11. Nevertheless, the overall male average is little over 5'9. By the way, why not ask someone in the average height range (5'7-5'11) if 5'9 is short? You simply ask women, who tend to look at tall men, and you ask tall men, to whom relatively speaking, 5'9-5'10 is short. It seems the heights of non-white men don't matter, nor do the opinions of regular average or short statured men. You are choosing a certain audience to get the result you desire. By the way, I am 5'10.5, not 5'9. I don't feel tall or short, and never been called either since I have been an adult.

it really depends on whos judging the height. taller people will see people in the 5'9"-5'10" range as short. shorter people will view them as average. it also depends what environment you are in. I am 6'1" and whenever I go to say the grocery store, I usually am one of the tallest people in there and most people there I would say are around in the 5'8" range. When I am at school, I consider myself average because I am in usually in the middle of the crowd. I would say the common height would be around 5'11". When I am on the basketball court, I feel short, because I usually get towered.

By the way, I can honestly say that I know more guys who are roughly between 5'8" to about 5'11" than guys of any other height. Most of those fall into the 5'9" to 5'10" area. When Viper says that 5'9" is short, it's akin to someone saying a circle is actually a square. It is NOT logical. By the way, Matt Damon, while NOT being short, could be considered stocky just looking at his body type.

Let's talk in centimeters. It makes things easier.
Anything above 180cm is tall.
174-179 is regular or average height.
There. What so you guys think of that?

5'9" is still short, but you're not going to get short jokes for being 5'9". People under 5'8" range get alot of short jokes. Like 6'1" people aren't going to get tall jokes, but people over 6'4" probably will.

In the morning I'm 180cm, during the day and night I'm 178cm, but when I come back from running I'm 177cm.
I think I'm 177cm, normal height. I admit it, and I'm comfortable with my height.
And 5'9" is not short. What do say to the people that are 5'6"?

ok ok, we know 5 ft 9.2 is technically average height statistically, but lets just settle this right now once and for all. the problem is, most people dont see a 5 ft 9.2 person as an average height person, that person is still going to be viewed as an "short" guy in their eyes. hello, i was 5 ft 10 exactly and i was viewed as SHORT by people even though i was techically above the average height of 5 ft 9.2. the truth is people see a person not being short as 5 ft 10 min! so if you are around the 5 ft 9 range, statistically you are average height, but reality you are on the short side my friend. when you look at a person , you dont think to yourself, ok that guy looks about 5 ft 9.2 , he is a average height man, it doesnt work that way.!

Once again it seems like you are comparing statistics with opinon. First of all the 5'9.2" average is from one or two average samples that I have found while others claim it is 5'9.1 or 5'8.75". It all seems to net out to about 5'9". Secondly, I think you may want to visit the classroom for textbook definitions on average, mean, and median. What you are claiming regarding 5'10 or 10.5" to be ther real average, I think you are a actually referring to the median number(more men of this height that any other height) of men being approx 5'10" or so. I personally do not have that statistic at hand, but it certainly does not mean the average height of a United States-born man is any greater than 5'9" (or5'9.2", in your findings). And last, no matter how many people you sample for an opinion, opinion is opinion, not fact. By the way there are other postings that describe Matt Damon as 5'9".

to caesar :i have never heard anyone calling JT or arnold short, sorry... because their not, JT is listed as 5 foot 11.5 which is on hte tall side, arnold is 6 feet, also on the tall side, not VERY tall, but somewhat tall. i was 5 foot 10 when i was 18 and was considered short by my friends who arent that tall either, they were in the 6 foot 1 range...you know what, im going to do a survey and ask what do you think the average height man is, and ill get back to you.
It's irrelevant what people "think" average height is. The actual mean is what counts. Furthermore, your sample size will be so small and isolated that it will not reflect the population at large anyway. I think it's time that you looked at the methodology of height studies. In terms of the United States, whenever you see a 5'10+ average you'll notice that the study is survey-interview style. Whenever the average is 5'9, you'll notice the study consists of actual measurements from a statistically significant sample. People inflate their own height, and people on the shorter side are the worst for it usually; often times 5'10 is seen as the "minimum respectable height" and guys as low as 5'7 will seek to claim it. A legitimate 5'10er will rarely, if ever, look short, and a legitimate 5'10er will rarely, if ever, look tall.
If, as it seems, you don't care about the statistics, you should know the perception of height is often distorted by a person's weight and build. Overweight people with bad posture often look shorter, thin and lean people with good posture often look taller, and then there are things like head length, shoulder width, vertical shoulder position that skew height perception.

Just to clarify, 5'9" is considered dead average in the United States for a man's height...Neither short nor tall.. Just Average. By the way, the average height of a woman in the United States is 5'4". If any of you have ANY doubts at all you can look up the exact statistic just about anywhere.

And like another guy said, Damon "looks short" because: 1. People always expect "stars" to be tall and "larger than life"; and 2. Damon has a smaller man's body attached to a rather large head which gives him an inch or two. Justin Timberlake and Arnold Schwarzenegger are also called "short" and they are both around 6'1. So I guess by your inductive reasoning, 6'1 is "short" because a few people have said certain 6'1 people are short? Wow.

looks like you didnt read my post, basically there isnt really average height, your either short or tall, get over it. 5 foot 10 is still somewhat short, not very shot, but still short! sorry robert!
So 5'10 is both average and short? Your definition is so arbitrary and incoherent as to be meaningless. Most people do congregate around the mean, hence why people in the 5'8 to 5'11 range (5'9 to 6'0 range for younger people) rarely "look" anything, just normal. Furthermore, I could "buy" a 6'4 guy calling a 5'10 man "short", but you are 6'0.5! I have a friend who is 6'0.5-6'1 range and when looking in the mirror on flat ground inside he barely looks taller, and with his bad posture occasionally looks shorter. You clearly don't realize how small an inch is, which is part of your misunderstanding the concept of "average height".
Oh, and your evidence? 5'7 girl rejects 5'9 guy for being "too short".
About that: the average height difference between the sexes is five inches. Hence, the equivalent of a 5'7 woman is a 6'0 man. Thus, adjusting for that mean difference the woman is an equivalent of three inches taller, and consequently her view that he is "too short" is understandable to a degree. That doesn't mean the man is "short", because she is technically tall. Sorry, my explanation might be a little complex for you. Also, the fact that you don't "feel tall" is your problem; it doesn't invalidate the stats. There are five billion people in the world, and if you are in a crowded place you will see many men 6'2 and above. If you care to take notice, you will see many many more around 5'9 and 5'10, and a very big number as low as 5'6.

Thus, adjusting for that mean difference the woman is an equivalent of three inches taller, and consequently her view that he is "too short" is understandable to a degree. That doesn't mean the man is "short", because she is technically tall. Sorry, my explanation might be a little complex for you. Also, the fact that you don't "feel tall" is your problem; it doesn't invalidate the stats. There are five billion people in the world, and if you are in a crowded place you will see many men 6'2 and above. If you care to take notice, you will see many many more around 5'9 and 5'10, and a very big number as low as 5'6.

5'10.5 is real average: I am 5'9'½ and very skinny, people consider me average/tall because i'm so skinny and lean, I have never been called short, and i do live in a country with full of tall people(Sweden, where the average height's about 5'11). I wouldn't consider a 5'9 person short, neither a 5'8 person. Everything under 5'8 is short, and everything under 5'6 is extremly short. That's my and many of my friends opinion. And no, my friends are not short, most of them are above 6'.

Ok talking about average height is stupid. We should talk about median height. I agree that for younger guys the average is around 5'10'' - 6'' for western guys.

ok, someone made a comment earlier about how you shouldnt look at statistics when judging average height. for example, lets say you 100 people in a room, half of them are really short and the other half really tall, making the average height in the room 6 feet. that doesnt mean most people in the room are 6 feet! so forget all the numbers. in society, MOST people will considered a 5 foot 10 an average height man (regardless of race), and thats the bottom line, but 5 foot 10 to alot of people is still considered on the short side.

5 foot 10.5 is real average height - That's true, and it hurts when girls don't like you for NOT being as tall as others. But that shows that the girl is full of [yeah, that], even if that girl or woman is gorgeous.
But I've seen taller girls than me that get attracted to me, and even if nothing will happen between us(because of the height difference), it makes me happy knowing that sometimes height doesn't effect every girl. But in the end, I feel sad and end up crying. Wah!!! People think I'm short! Wah!!!
Not every person is the same, we are all unique. We're humans, with the image of God. We're the best.
The most important thing is personality.
You mentioned American football and basketball. I play football(soccer), and in soccer height doesn't really matter. The best soccer players of all-time have been very short, like Maradona for example. Zidane on the other hand is an exception(he's 1.85). Mostly, football has to do with shoe size and if you're playing as a professional in Europe, speed is very important.
I know this has nothing to do with Matt Damon, sorry about this guys.

That is one of the most stupid comments I've heard here. 5'10.5'' isn't the average height of US men. '80 - '83 born whites have the average height of 5'10.6'' in US, but it isn't the real average. For instance in that way Finnish guys have the average around 6'' in reality it is 5'10''.

thank you leung! i have alot of friends who are in the 5 foot 8 5 foot 9 range, and they were all considered somewhat short. only really short people considered 5 foot 9 average.
and alonso is right, being taller doesnt make you a better person, but it doesnt give you more confidence and girls. remember girls like : tall , dark, and handsome. if you are a average looking person, but you have good height(around the 6 2 range) all of sudden you are alot better looking than you truy are. also you step on the football field or court, and your taller than everyone else, people will fear you ..well unless they find out you actually sucks, BUT atleast you decieved them!

I'm 5'10" (178cm), and I feel quite comfortable.
But being a taller person doesn't make you a better person.
A person with a good heart is all that matters.

5 foot 10.5: No. Most people would not say 5'10 is not short. Fans who see a SUPERSTAR of Matt Damons caliber look for a larger than life figure. He is only average so suddenly when expectations are high people tend to see something which is not reality.
