This is a topic that is rarely brought up so i wanted to ask you about this /fa/

>Is it okay for abover average height guys to wear shoe lifts to reach tall territory?
first of all im starting college this autum and was thinking about getting myself a pair of elevator shoes or height increasing soles
im not short 6'3" but the average height in my country is 5'11" and university students are on average about 1" taller then the general population
so i was thinking about investing in 1-2" elevator shoes or shoe lifts to put me figuratively and litterally above the rest
university is all about making friends and networking and the additional height will surely help me with that
I also think that my posture and confidence will benefit greatly from them
the only thing im afraid of is the social backlash ill be getting if ill be found out
but in my eyes its just a cosmetic perk to boost confidence like highheels or make-up for woman
so why shouldnt men be allowed to improve their social standing with a little help?

you're a mental manlet, if you feel like even 6'2" isnt enough for you to be satisfied and confident you have no fix that

like i said its a little different when the average male height is 6' around you
if i would life in the us or asia i would be 100% satisfied with my height
tallness is relative

still pretty pathetic but go ahead and get some lifts you shouldnt be found out as long as they arent too big

>> No.13418528

>>13418522
what i dont understand is why its pathetic for males to enhance their height but society is completly fine with females hiding their real appearance behind makeup and make their legs look longer with highheels
has this something to do with marketing and anti-male bias?

>> No.13418543

>>13418528
sorry i guess i shouldnt have said pathetic i quit smoking just a while ago so im irritated. i think what you said plays a big part in it, women using makeup to hide flaws is seen as socially acceptable and encouraged. if you dont mind the social stigma go for it but im afraid it wont be well received in our lifetime

this shit probably looks ridiculous if you already have long legs, you can only get away with it if your legs are short

im talking about 1-2" max on top of 1" shoes
thats only a small increase of height
and if you would be right then all black people would look ridiculous because they have longer limps

downey junior is 5'7 and radcliffe is 5'5, yet it is the former that's known and ridiculed for being a manlet, beacuse he wears atrocious sneakers with "hidden" heels
going from 188cm to 195cm in shoes won't make you "that tall guy" but "that insecure guy that wears lifts"

Just wear normal boots, I've never had anyone even blink an eye, It makes me a little taller and more slim but that was never been the purpose of them either.

youre right such a massive increase in height would be highly suspicious but i only wanna gain 1-2 inches like i said before

also to showcase my problem to you this is the average height distribution in most place in the world
