Why do men want to be tall?
First things first, why do men and women even place any importance on height at all? In general terms, men seem to all want to be tall and women tend to prefer men who are also tall. Being tall lends itself well when coming across as more dominate, confident and successful.

Your perceived height often has much more to do than just the physicality of it. Your confidence, the way you hold yourself and even what you wear can impact how tall people perceive you to be.

These celebrities are much larger in stature—but it was Post Malone’s charisma and confidence that made him seem to fit in with that crowd a bit better.
While some may argue that height has helped Post Malone with his career, it is something that probably has very little to do with his actual success.

And let’s be honest, there are many celebrities that would make Post Malone appear short!
