Genuinely, wtf am I meant to do? I'm 20 and 5'6.5 barefoot, but I fraud 5'7
lul
on dating apps and irl when asked. I fucked up my sleeping schedule in my teen yearsby staying up till 3-4am and getting up at 8am for school and eating like absolute shit. Even then, I should count myself lucky to reach 5'6.5 considering my mom is 5'0 and my dad is about 5'5.
A brutal moment was when I was sitting around with a group of people, and someone asked me how tall I was. I said 5'8 because that was the last height I was measured at for my passport (thanks retard), and one of the girls said I don't look 5'8. Someone had the funny idea to bust out a tape measure and barefoot, I was 5'6.5. Immediately, the mood changed and I could tell I was the laughing stock. The girl said "Aww, betterheightnextime, you're ONLY 5'6.5" and she said to everyone that walked by, "hey, did you know betterheightnextime is 5'6.5". All I did was sit in silence and stare into the distance and wonder what I possibly did to deserve this.
I work in one of the busiest cities in the world, and everyday I try not to internalise it but getting heightmogged by teen foids is ropefuel. I did all I could to softmaxx, been going to the gym for about 1 and a 1/2 years, cut a lot of weight down especially on my face and built some muscles, practiced skincare, fragances, and overall increased confidence but there is absolutely nothing I can do for my height.
Dating apps are cancer, but I have a somewhat decent looking face (from softmaxxing) which has landed me 4 sex moments (2 ONS, 2 longterm) and a foid off tiktok who sent me nudes. Still, I send a lot of likes on hinge and get almost 0 back and it's like I have repellent on me, because of that retarded 5'7 label (might do experiment and set height as 6'0, and compare match amount). I have yet to pull irl, got goth girls insta in a club once but she was ugly as fuck without makeup (Sub5) when I checked her insta in the morning. Perhaps the worst part is knowing I could be so much more, if I was born just a few inches taller.
Another shitty part is seeing LTN's with MTBS simply because they are 6'0+. Height is an insane halo, and there is nothing anyone I can do to grow taller once growth plates are closed (except LL). No matter how much weight I lose, how defined my muscles are, how clear my skin is, I will never slay as much I could've if I had a few inches more of height.
I know it could always be worse, and it is worse for some of you out there. Even then, I'm retarded enough to not stop trying, and doing everything I can (in terms of softmaxxing, no money for surgery + cba) to look better. The thought that it's all pointless because of my height has crossed my mind a lot since the previously mentioned brutal day though, but I think I'm too far in to stop now and lose all the progress I made.
TLDR: 20 year old 5'6.5 manlet gets publicly shamed and seethes because there is nothing he can do to grow taller and gets heightmogged by teen white girls.
