Anthropology tells us that the men of that era tended to be in the mid 5' x" range -- also that the Jews of that time and earlier had short hair (unlike Absalom).

And, you think Jesus was like everybody else because.....?
He was different, he preached a different message.

I'm certain Jesus didn't come across like everybody else. However, did he look especially different? Consider this:

Isaiah 53:2 -- He grew up before him like a tender shoot, and like a root out of dry ground. He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nothing in his appearance that we should desire him.
