>Tfw manlet (5'8)
>One and only shot at life, will never exist in any capacity again for all of eternity, lost the genetic lottery and ended up a fucking midget on planet Earth in the 21st century

I feel like I've been personally cursed by a higher power to deserve such a humiliating fate, fuck my selfish parents for bringing about this hellish existence, to think I've been deprived of what could've been a normal life over 4 inches of leg bone is so fucking comical and yet it's the absurd reality I live in. To women and taller men my existence is a joke at best and a person affront to them at worst, like I'm a disease that needs to be wiped out, I'm genetically inferior and it innately disgusts them. Taller men will never see me as an equal, women will never see me as an option, I am figuratively and literally looked down upon by society and I am so mentally checked out, I give up, genetics made sure it was over before it ever began for me.

Height is irrefutably the most valuable trait for a male to have, not looks or race. Your career, social life, romantic life, the chances of success increase exponentially the taller you are in almost every aspect of life. I'm 26, I have no friends, never been in a relationship, never had sex, and my height is the main factor. Heightism fucked my mental health, I am as much of a mental midget as I am a physical midget. I don't know how other manlets cope with life, it's like living on nightmare mode. I hate this useless, worthless, pathetic little midget genetic waste of a body I'm stuck in, and if I wasn't such a coward I would've roped myself already. No, instead I'll coast through life, coping with materialistic goods that only bring me fleeting happiness and do nothing to fill the void or give me a sense of purpose, never knowing companionship or love because society has convinced me I don't deserve to ever experience those things, and dying alone and miserable all because I'm missing 4 fucking inches of leg bone.

5 8 has a significantly easier time than say 5 2, yes some girls are off limits but your potential is not as bad as if you were uber fucked
>women only want 6 feet
Then die alone, kill yourself, you have more of a chance than an actual short dude and bitching about it at your height is just spitting in their struggles

Who are you interacting with daily that 5'8 is a manlet? You are taller than most women and 1 inch short of the average male height in the US.

I think you need to re-evaluate your perspective and not blame genes for your social retardation. I'm 5'10 and I felt pretty small when I played sports, but nothing even close to manlet vibes. Just be a jacked chad to make up for the lack of height, the same way bald dudes grow out beards and get tats.

bro shut the fuck up. you don't know shit
t. 5'2 male

I'm so tired of other people telling me I don't have it as bad as sub-5'5 manlets when it genuinely doesn't make a fucking difference. If you're below average height, it doesn't matter if you're Warwick Davis' height or 5'8 like me, it's the same thing to society. Online dating automatically filters out over 90% of women at 5'8, and the vast majority of leadership roles belong to men over 5'11, I am in NO better position than you. My existence is still a fucking joke. To the 5'2 anon, if you woke up 5'8 nothing would change, it's still suicide-tier and it's only when you reach at least 5'10 do you have a sliver of hope.

>>82558662
I'm in the US, but studies don't reflect the reality I live in. It's not at all uncommon for women I see in my daily life to be taller than I am let alone men who very commonly seem to be over 6 feet nowadays. Bulking up is just going to scream that I'm even more insecure and I'm desperately trying to overcompensate, accepting my status as a low value male is the only thing I can do. There's no reality where the average people sees me as average, I'm not.

>>82558621 (OP)
FUCK YOU NIGGA FUCK YOU YOU ARNET 5'10 AND INVISBLE FU

>>82558918
I am 5'10 and with my boots i'm 5'11 :)

>>82558954
okay same but then you arent op and youre still invisible. 5'10 is hell

>>82558894
The man in your webm is a chad because he was able to pick up the manlet. Not because he's tall. Nobody is going to sense insecurity if you're a gym rat, unless your a fag posting selfie online.

Stop making excuses dude. If you went to the gym every other day for 2 weeks, you would see an improvement by October.

5'8 men should be banned from whining about muh height in here, because they CAN actually get pussy, if they also had a job and something approaching a personality.
for chrissake I'm 5'8 (probably more like '7) and a near autist, and I was doing fine when I still cared. Once I had a job of course, when I was a NEET they all saw me as a loser because I was.

>>82558621 (OP)
>>82558894
so true brother. chads, foids and turbomanlets are denying our true destiny-reducing all others to being our subordinates and slaves.

>>82558621 (OP)
Mood, brother. Being 5'5 and baldceling in my mid-20's destroyed me. Though I am an autist NEET anyway, so I was doomed on multiple levels.
I get occasional likes and matches, but they never lead to sex. Only had (crappy) paid sex, and I am now 39. At least I can grow a good enough beard.
I have wanted to die for years.

fuck off, 5'8 will never be a manlet

imagine being 5'8" in germany (and i am white)

turn 31 next month, ,never even touched a female

poorfag family too

>>82560385
Tell that to the millions of women that would reject me for being too short. At 5'8, I get automatically filtered out by over 90% of women on dating apps. Short women don't want me, average height women don't want me, tall women don't want me, no one wants me. Tell that to the millions of taller men that openly degrade and dehumanize my height, that I will never be considered a man to them, and how I'll never be hired or promoted over a taller man with the same qualifications. I am barred from having a social life. We need solidarity as manlets, I don't care if you're 4ft or 5ft9, anything below average height in western countries is life on nightmare mode for males.

>>82560255
Yeah, heightism destroyed my life. I will never be able to have a fulfilling life because of this shit. I hope I get cancer or some other terminal illness so I have an excuse to die already. Average height and above men really can't seem to comprehend just utterly fucked it is for us, how much it destroys or psyche.

>>82560736
I empathize with you. I'm white and grew up poor too, but I'm from the US. White males are expected to be taller, we're held to higher standards and this whole 'JBW' shit people spew here doesn't apply to us manlets. Being born to poor parents was just the cherry on top, it wasn't bad enough that they had to spread their shit genes onto me and bring about my cursed existence. I'll likely never be able to afford limb-lengthening surgery, the only thing that would help me to escape manletdom

Indeed. Heightism was always there, but fuck apps made foids even worse with that, as well as making them Chad-only. Hence the incel boom. Also completely agree with you on JBW not applying to manlets. It certainly hasn't applied to me, in my experience. Sooner my death comes, the better. Life without pussy or money is a total waste of time. TFW my family have already died out too. Just waiting to join them.

I'm 6'0 and life isn't any better. I feel short and get heightmogged everywhere. I feel like 6'3 is the sweet spot.

>>82560940
I'm not trying to invalidate your experience, with younger generations we're going to see more and more people over 6 foot and at some point not even a flat 6 foot will be enough anymore. I'm not surprised if you feel short even at 6 foot. But the difference is that you will never be openly dehumanized for your height, you've hit the magical 6, you're not filtered out by the vast majority of women and you're not at the constant mockery of taller men. I genuinely feel actively barred from having a social life at 5'8, the number of opportunities I would have if I was at least average height let alone above average would be astronomical. The grass is always greener, I guess.

>>82558621 (OP)
As a 5'8 manlet, this is exactly how I feel. I can't shake this feeling that I've been completely locked out of life due to my height.
I notice most people who whine about height are also in that 5'7-5'8 region. My guess is that it's the most carrot on a stick height. So close yet so so far. Shorter manlets swallowed the heightpill a lot more easily and taller people are retarded if they're insecure about height.

>>82558894
fucking retard youre 5'10 with shoes youre not a midget to any normal human
fuck off

>>82561049
I wholeheartedly agree. Our height range complains the most because we were so close to just hitting 'average' height (In the US, at least), it just feels particularly unfair for us and that's why it's such a bitter pill for us to swallow. At 5'6 and below, it's probably easier to just accept your fate and embrace the dwarfpill. At 5'8, I'm 2 inches from being 5'10 average in the US, I had stomach issues since a young age and had very poor nutrition and sleep all throughout my teenage years. By 16-17, I had weighed as little as 98lbs, there's a non-zero chance I stunted my growth and if I had done things differently perhaps I would've been average height, that's a thought that will always stick with me. It's exactly as you said, I feel locked out of life, if I can never get limb-lengthening surgery then I'm going to spend the rest of my life feeling this way.

>>82561074
That's simply not the reality I live in, it's not the experience I've gone through. I could start wearing boots with lifts in them, but it's still just a fucking cope and it's obvious I'm overcompensating. I'm below average height, if you're shorter than me we need to stop arguing and show solidarity, it's suicide-tier for below average height men in 2025, whether it's 5'8 like me or 4ft, it genuinely doesn't matter. It's so exhausting arguing this point with men shorter than me.

Though I have not criticised 5'7-9 manlets in this thread, I do think you guys can fraud to 5'10-6' much easier than the rest of us manlet incels. At 5'5 I just can't fraud enough, even with thick soles, or slight heels, without wearing elevator shoes. kek
I had considered trying out lifts, but my feet would be coming out of my shoes, as most footwear (at least mine) are not high-tops. Last time I needed trainers/sneakers, I wanted to get a high-top, but all I could get in the store (that were plain black) was a low-top. FML.

>>82561171
Holy shit, are you me? When I was a kid, I was basically the above average/average height compared to everyone else so it never crossed my mind. But I was a very picky eater and refused to eat the vast majority of things. By the time I reached 16 I realised everyone was taller than me, even the short kids. Measured myself at 100lbs at 18.
Holy shit man, the NTpill is genuinely killing me, if only I wasn't a retard kid and took care of myself and ate shit.

Another thought I had while waiting for the captcha. Have you noticed so many publications mock 5'7-8 heights? Any lower and it's as if they don't exist.

>>82561196
i cant wait for winter where i can wear proper boots and insert some lifts to reach almost 6'

but i also wanna add that i am
>>82560736
and i had a few (!) times in my life where women were really touchy with me and approached me, but i was already so demoralized that i just ignored them

TFW also autist and a picky eater. FML.
Yet I drank a pint of milk every day in my first year of college.
NOPE; still doomed to manletism and inceldom.

>>82561224
>and i had a few (!) times in my life where women were really touchy with me and approached me, but i was already so demoralized that i just ignored them
Being demoralised is understandable in this totally fucked day and age, but giving up chances like that is unforgivable.
At 5'5, I'd kill for chances like that. Most I ever got was stared at. They never speak to me, let alone touch me.
Of course, I look normal height when sitting down. My fucking pygmy legs let me down terribly.
I also hate how foids get the ick for us, even though when sitting or lying down I'd be big enough for them.
Not like people do a lot of sex when standing. It's usually making out on a sofa, or fucking in a bed.

There's also the despicable thing that if a manlet were to succeed in getting a foid, her peers would shame her into dumping him. There is no winning.

5'8 but with a short fucking torso. When I sit down I look like a gigamanlet. If I got LL surgery I would look like a caricature

>>82561213
I had one growth spurt around 12/13 to 5'6. From the rest of my growing years into adulthood I grew just 2 inches to the 5'8 I am today. Poor nutrition and sleep very well could have locked me out of another inch or two. I could just be coping and I never would've been taller than this no matter how good my health was, but I think what supports this is my only full brother being 3 inches taller than me.

>>82561277
This is an unfortunate reality. Even with the few women out there that do settle for us, they constantly get reminded by others that they're settling and that they can do better. Which puts the thought into their mind that they should always be on the lookout for an upgrade. Even when a woman isn't shallow about height, they get actively shamed for dating below average height men and it eventually gets to them. I'm so demoralized and trying to find a woman willing to settle for me is like trying to find a unicorn, I've just given up entirely. At 26, I've already mentally checked out, my entire 30s and beyond will just be spent on my own instead of trying to fit into a world that doesn't want me, I have to just accept that this is my fate and there's nothing I can do about it.

>>82558894
>nothing would change if you went from 5'-2" to 5'-8"
You'd be the same height as most men standing near you. At 5'-2" the difference is more jarring, and most importantly, instantly noticeable.

>>82560846
"We need solidarity," he said, as he continued to behave like a cunt to his fellow men.

>>82561317
shouldn't that jpg give you hope though? Peer pressure isn't a constant thing, that means a lot of girls will get over that if you are what they like in person. You need to worry more if they themselves care about height.

>>82561317
Spike Spiegel has a short torso but long legs, you could roleplay as him

>>82558621 (OP)
Why did you choose to be short by not just eating better and nutritionmaxxing?

Anybody short have no issue with girls but still depressed because they have no money? Short men are not respected and do not get hired for good jobs or promoted internally
