I'm not extremely short (5'9 on a good day) but want to know what I can do to appear taller. Inb4 platforms. Momma always said that horizontal stripes make you look shorter, will pinstrips make me taller? Any haircuts that I should go for? The swell of my back is very deep, if I fix this (Training lats?) will I gain a couple inches? Or is it already over for me as I am tallest in my family already

[Anonymous No.17658304]

!!!!Wear high waisted trousers!!!!! Wear insoles, wear shoes with some height boost but not obvious ones (common manlet mistake), vertical stripes help a bit. These are in order of importance.

I'm hesitant to go full insoles. It just doesn't seem great for my body to constantly be walking essentially on my tip toes.

No. Don’t take any of that sarcastic “short king” bullshit (patronizing) and just dress well. You can do that at any height. I believe in you anon, don’t let the height-obsessed retards on this Afghans Spoiled Milk Discussion Forum(TM) make you feel bad about yourself. They’re just basement dwellers that need to seed insecurity in others because they have so much bullshit of their own to deal with. You are literally average height. That is not short. Enjoy the extra leg room in planes and cars that others so t have and will just complain about

Again anon, read what I wrote: height is overrated, health is underrated

Being generally Healthy (not 8pack uber-toned fit, but functional healthy fit), Happy (people love confidence, being happy/positive is often interpreted by others as being in control of your environment, but it has to come from who you are, not some fake instagram pose) and having a Drive in life are big things in life (success/progress feels amazing).

Im a junior analyst working in big finance (not for money/status but bcs i am deeply passionate about analysis/data) and there are plenty of 6'3 - 6'10 model aesthetics types, but mostly their confidence is just not there, they are used to coasting on their height and looks etc. However the financial markets doesnt care if you're 4'5 or 7'1, it only cares about how well you do your job. Height will be an issue if you make it an issue - you decide.

So my advice to you, if you want it; build a healthy daily Routine (define: sleep, eat, exercise, work, socializing/family). Read GOOD books your whole life (anything that interests you, sci-fi, science, history, self-help, make sure to mix, reading is key) and NEVER EVER give up.
Its about defining your character, strengthening yourself into realizing the potential that is inherent to any human being - but most ppl let life slip away bcs they are absorbed by "what others think", wasting hrs per day on internet etc, procrastinating "i will do it tomorrow", bcs its easier than development, which means pain and discomfort. Anon, leave the comfort of being in the middle, the average, and show the rest of us the path forward in the field of your choice.
What you do is more is more important than who you are. Who you can be is more important than who you are. What you do for others is equally important as what you do for yourself. You are responsible for yourself and everyone else. Take care of yourself anon, take care of others.
Godspeed my friend

don't. just get regular shoes with chunky soles or men's shoes, they have a heel anyway and don't look ridiculous.
those insoles are asking to be embarrassed when you take them off.

This works but do not larp as a female.

I have been cursed to be 5'1. Despite this, I have managed to become a married man (to a real woman, btw).

When the norwood reaper strikes, I can just dwarfmax while safely knowing that I got the benefits of being androgynous in a world of social media MKULTRA'd females without having to have had cut my dick off. Can you say the same, troomer?

Develop a workman's style so you can wear western style work boots. They look better as general purpose footwear than cuban heels do while still giving the increased height.

The boots will make you more than tall enough. Also, it is well known that blue collar work make a lot of money. Looking like you're 5'9 while also appearing to make 38/hr will be more than enough to get dates, if that is your concern.

Surprisingly enough, I mostly wear stuff I get from the men's section. I have the occasional female shirt or jeans. I don't wear the stuff autogynephiles wear, stuff like the usual skirt and thigh highs bought from amazog combo. If you're actually considering femboymaxxing, do not wear the stuff you find attractive sexually for girls to wear. Being fetishistic in your approach will only make you look gross, especially when you go out in public.

The main thing is genetics, makeup, hygiene, and the gym. Keep a low body fat % (depending on your genes, of course. You might want a slightly higher body fat % depending on how your face looks), get enough sleep, keep yourself clean. You also gotta look naturally androgynous, though makeup might be able to carry you as you don't look like pic.

Thanks anon. I've been called a "pretty boy" or "pretty" to my face a decent amount and almost all of my girlfriends have been bisexual, I think I would say I'm at least a little "androgynous." I just don't know what an "androgynous" outfit would actually look like and am wondering examples.

Married anon here. I am no longer under 20 but I was when I (legally) married my wife. Teenage pregnancy + complicated family situation with her made it simpler for me to be her legal guardian. I was 18 and she was 17 at the time. The actual wedding happened last year.

My general recommendation for short bros is to marry young. Not as young as me, of course, but try to be married before age 30. This is for the simple fact that short men age worse than taller men.

Dressing well is really the greatest equalizer in terms of height. Our outward appearance connotes a story of ourselves height does this on its own but you can achieve a similar effect just by dressing well or in line with your personality. Boots are always a good way to gain an extra inch, staying away from oversized styles, 7 or 5" inseam shorts for the summer, less contrast in your outfits, and staying away from patterns like large stripes will help too. It really isn't as big of a deal as its made out to be, I'm 5'9 as well and although its a disadvantage it easily gives you perspective on how to better yourself in plenty of other ways while others often lack that pressure to do so.
