Some girls do think we're cute(and guys, too), and I look a good 10 years younger than my age, or so I am told. Maybe everyone's been lying to me all these years.A lot of Italians are vertically challenged. We can be mobsters, cook wonderful food, and be great artists, but a lot of us don't have tall genes in our families for some odd reason. If there are any tall guys out there who would like to donate a few inches of height, I would really appreciate it. :wink: :smile: :biggrin1:
I guess the advantage would be that certain body parts look good on a smaller frame. :biggrin1:
I think it depends on what part of Italy your ancestors come from. My family (Italian on both sides) is all tall, especially the women. The shortest women are about 5'8' and the shortest man in my family (my cousin) is about 5'11". Two of my grandfather's sisters are about 6', his brothers were all 6'2" or more. I'm 6'2" and am built and look just like my great-grandfather, who was a little over 6'. Both sides of my family come from northern Italy, but being major port cities, (Genoa and Venice) God knows what else is mixed in with the Italian blood from generations past! lol
I have seen that northern Italians tend to be taller and built more like central Europeans while the southern Italians are shorter and built more rugged.
