Thread 76623597

Honestly, is there even any point in working out if I'm a 5'8 midget? And if there other manlets on here, what's your motivation to workout? Men tower over me, middle schoolers tower over me, and the average woman is as tall if not taller than me nowadays, it was over before it ever began, all because I lost the genetic lottery by missing 4 inches of leg bone. If I bulk up, I'll just look like a tree stump and I'll be accused of overcompensating. Men will never respect me or see me as an equal, and women will never find me attractive or as a viable partner. Because I'm short and thin with no wrinkles or balding, I'm 26 and get mistaken for a teen, when I'm in public I get called cutesy names like 'bud' by men and hon/honey by women because they think I'm a kid, not a man.

I feel like an adult mind trapped in a child's body, I feel utterly emasculated. I'm not just a physical midget, I'm a mental midget too, heightism destroyed my mindset and trying to self-improve in any way feels like a cope. I would get limb-lengthening surgery in a heartbeat if I could afford it, but it's not an option right now. What is lifting going to do for me? Will it actually improve my mental health and give me the confidence I need to accept the body I was given?

>>76623597 (OP)
you are a narcissist

If you're short don't over do it and become one ofthose dudes who are wider than tall. Or do. It's always funny to watch them.

>>76623597 (OP)
Its never been about height, it was always about frame. If you are wide and thick boned 5'8 man, you have unironically made it. If you are small and thin its unironically over even if you are 6'2.

It's quite simple, some of us aren't only born manlets but also as massive pussies. The latter have a hard time making most of what they've got and cry about not shagging women on the regular.

>>76623597 (OP)
Bulk up and weigh as much as you can without having a huge gut

>>76623597 (OP)
come back here when you actually try lifting, if you're not gonna put any actual effort working out, i dont see why any of us should put any effort guiding you or giving you advice.

>reminder that women are more attracted to this man than the one in OP video

keep lifting weights and after see japanese east asian men fuck blonde white girls and japanese asian girls and go to the gym

>>76623597 (OP)
I'm 5'7 and it doesn't bother me

OP, you are short. You will always be short. You can cope, wear lifts, get weird hairstyles to try and hide it.
None of it works. You. Are Short.
Now you have a choice.
You can be short and skinny, or you can be short and jacked.

>>76623597 (OP)
Focus on being good looking and get a good face.

>I'll be accused of overcompensating.
As opposed to what, undercompensating? is there someone you know who is entirely well-compensated, inside and out?
>Men will never respect me or see me as an equal
Why do you want respect, how does this help you?
What does equal mean? equal under the law?
>women will never find me attractive
Women don't find 90% of men attractive, big or small.
>or as a viable partner.
i've seen women date complete druggie losers, you're fine

>>76623942
Which, unless you're rich means gets lean. That's really the best an average dude can do. Get lean and run with the genetic dice you rolled.

>>76623936
'Weird' hairstyles and lifts are totally fair game though. It isn't a cope.

Just like how some hippie old dudes wear cowboy boots everywhere, it's not a cope- it's just their style.
Sometimes, a sickass style (which can include clothes, accessories, muscularity) can absolutely make someone more attractive, which is the only reason why dudes care so much about being short.

You'd be surprised how much taller you seem at first glance when you wear boots w/lifts, some pants with a slight flare, a shaggy haircut, good posture and some nice delts.
Still, you are right that it's kind of a lost cause if you want to look super tall when you aren't. Not every person has the body type for every aesthetic.

>>76623597 (OP)
These are the type of men calling women "mid" on social media

>>76623597 (OP)
Ive had a bunch of tape measures be like .5in different per ft and a lot of tall hollywood guys wear +1in shoes. Maybe ive just been consistent enough lifting productively but its pretty rare for someone to have a build thats natural for strength, it took me forever to get going because im tall as shit, was lanky as fuck for a few years before learning how to lift well and making decent gains.

>>76623952
Its pretty standard to have 2+in running shoes, i feel like itd be pretty easy to knock over a super tall person if they were standing straight up. And then its like are you even that strong? Jon jones is like 6ft5 and vs mma mike idk if anythingnhe can throw but an elbow or maybe a kick is gonna do anything. Yall are obsessed with height when mike israel has the same size chest as the mountain.

>>76623708
>>76623803
How am I a narcissist? The only person I hate is myself and the only people I resent are my parents for passing this curse onto me. I don't blame women for not seeing me as an option or men for not seeing me as an equal, I'm a genetic failure. I can make the best with the cards I was dealt to a certain extent, but I'm always going to be inferior to the average man.

>>76623797
>>76623753
What's an ideal physique then? As a 5'8 manlet is it better to look like the left or right of pic related? Left is more aesthetic and doesn't look like you're overcompensating, but right is obviously stronger and would make you less of a pushover

>>76623762
My torso is average size I think, it's just my short stubby midget legs that didn't grow. If my legs were more proportionate to the rest of me, I should've been at least 2 inches taller, I think I may have stunted my growth as a teen because of a lack of proper nutrition.

>>76623947
I'm short, thin, and young looking, so I get treated like a kid, I don't get taken seriously. I just want to be seen as a fellow man, not a permanent child. To stop being emasculated. Maybe growing a beard, bulking up, and wearing boots with lifts might change people's perception of me.
>Women don't find 90% of men attractive, big or small.
My height automatically filters out over 90% of women on dating apps which makes online dating impossible, and trying to connect with women in-person nowadays feels like an insurmountable task. I don't know how other manlets keep their sanity in check being dealt with such a shit fucking hand in a time when heightism has never been more brutal. I feel like I'm going to die alone over something I had no control over.

yes manlet here.

>>76623952
I think the problem with that is that it shows you're insecure about your height. Nothing gives women the ick more than insecurity. It's kinda like how Jason Statham embraces his norwood. If he wore a toupee he would come across as an insecure fag.

>>76624085
Eh I wouldn't say so. Things like lifts and fake hair only signal insecurity if they're obvious/egregious or if the person wearing them is particularly unlikable.

Robert Downey Jr wears lifts all the time and publicly admits it and yet nobody ever talks about it or cares about it.
If he acted like a pompous weirdo and wore lifts that were retardedly huge then perhaps people would think negatively of it, but it's not affecting him at all.
Jason Statham is more unique since he's one of the few people who looks better bald, but again, people don't really question it because it goes with his aesthetic.

It's a retarded argument that anything used to enhance someone's appearance in one way or another is based in insecurity.
I have long hair because I think it suits the shape of my head better. I'm not insecure about my head shape, I just think I look better with long hair.
Some people just look better with a toupee, or with lifts, or with a beard. It's all fair game.

There are guys out there shorter than you bruh stop cucking yourself. you're being such a typical manlet

>>76623597 (OP)
You're not that short, you're about average.

I'm only 6'0" and I tower over most zoomer men.

>>76623957
>me on the center right

>>76623597 (OP)
Well I'm 175 cm and DYEL but I've started seeing results so I'm addicted. Better chest, shoulders, and posture, even forearms, I think. I'm gonna go swim today and there's nothing you can do about it, OP.

>>76623597 (OP)
i'm 5'7" and i get laid all the time. i even banged a girl like two inches taller than me last night. i'm not even ultra confident/charismatic. I'm just not a pussy (like you) and i try.

>>76623983
Self hatred is a common expression of narcissism. No one cares that you’re short, get over it little man

Would you feel better if you were born as a 6ft somali man stuck in some shithole hut?

Now you know how trannies feel, chud.

>>76623983
Narcissism means 'compulsive self-obsession'. It doesn't neccesarily mean you think you are amazing or perfect, it just means you are obsessed with yourself and think about yourself all the time.

>"Am I a good person?"
>"Am I tall enough?"
>"Why do I fell the way I feel?"
>"What is my purpose?"
>"How do I feel about this?"
>"Am I taking myself into account enough?"
>"Are my needs being met?"
>"Why do I hate/love myself?"

It's not healthy to be constantly self-conscious 24/7. I don't care if you love or hate yourself, but nobody likes someone self-obsessed.

>>76624304
>Narcissism means 'compulsive self-obsession'.
That's not the only definition. In psychopathology it means you think your wants are infinitely more important than others' wants because you're better.

>>76623947
>i've seen women date complete druggie losers, you're fine
My neighbor was one of those with 2 baby mommas. Guess what? He wasnt a manlet.

>>76623597 (OP)
5’8” is below average but you’re being a bit dramatic here, the average height for women is like 5’5 depending on where you live. You are not a midget. Get in the gym and workout, if you reach a point you think you’re getting too “wide” just stop bulking. And yes from personal experience it will improve your mental health and self image.

>>76623597 (OP)
All manlets need to work out and improvemaxx what they can, since they are already one thing short which is out of their control. Focus on what you can change.

>>76623597 (OP)
I'm an inch shorter than you, and I'd recommend you stop being a whiny faggot.

>>76623983
>I should've been at least 2 inches taller, I think I may have stunted my growth as a teen because of a lack of proper nutrition.
Same, i grew up with asthma and i realized it was because of hellicopter parenting and my dad is 6'2 and i ended 5'9,5. Is so fucking over

>>76624441
I'm 5 inches shorter than you and I second that notion

Stop frying your brain and confidence with internet heightism bullshit. Work out, feel better about yourself, carry yourself with confidence and the women will come.

>>76623597 (OP)
Just be yourself

>mfw being 6’ isn’t even impressive anymore

Used to think you blackpill retards were winers but after a girl told me my height is below average j can’t even cope

>>76623921
this guy is
>moisturised
>happy
>in his lane
of course that's attractive to whamen

>>76624762
Depends on where you live. In most of the modern western world, 6ft is dead center of the bell curve. Everyone is either there or close to it.
It's only when you get to areas with less white people that height starts to stray further from that.
