How do you not look like an overcompensating manlet?

[causeimight]

Hey. I'm 5'8, 5'9 with insoles, gonna become like 5'9-5'10 maybe (that's skeletal). I still feel very short and honestly I don't know what to do about it, I'm 17. I feel like people sometimes notice that I at times look insecure when I get conscious about people heightmogging me, but I also sometimes forget about it and turn into the normal me.

Niggas say that short people who build their body end up looking like they're overcompensating for your height. At the same height, people also talk about body halo and how "gymmaxxed" people mog average guys SMV wise.

As a short person myself, what the fuck do I do? I do go to the gym but I don't wanna look overcompensating or something. I think I'm just lost. Help.

Being 5'5 and going to the gym will just make u worse

the public wont think of a 5'9-5'10 gymgoing man as a "overcompensator". If you were 5'5 itd be something else

I hate that I'm a late bloomer. The only gift with it is that I am awake now, AKA that I know how to somewhat optimize my health for optimal growth in puberty.

I'm not sure I agree, especially when women all around the world are turning towards western standards and believing that 6 foot is the minimum. Or atleast a great height difference. Like I know that 5 foot women are gonna see me as a giant but there's no way in hell that I'm dating a woman this short, as least not long term.

Hey man, im about the same height and gymmaxxed
As long as you dont look like a super roided up bodybuilder then having a good phyisque will do nothing but help you. Anyone who says otherwise is coping or retarded. Body is a huge part of attraction

Love you XX

I agree kind of, but I do think they would benefit from having abit of muscle, otherwise if ur skinny and 5'5 u just look like a child

honestly bro women cant tell height at all, women have guessed my height anywhere from 6ft to 6'7 they have no real height perception, and it sounds like ur not from the west so likely the girls u interact with haven't seen many guys who are tall

Yeah I am not from the west. I'm Levantine, but I live in Europe. Which is why I need to adapt...

ohh I see which European country do u live in? for the most part 5'9 is still normal unless u live in Netherlands or something

 

[Med Amine]

Keep a passive persona and dont do bodybuilding. some girls might like manlets

Sweden, so not a short country bhai

That sounds stupid, what does a passive persona even mean?

Cause from what I'm imagining it sounds as to be submissive to other men, which I could never see myself doing as a man

First off you still should lift. Thats one of the tried and true ways to increase your looks value, even if youre short. Just dont get too buff like a meatball or something. Sometimes manlets get massive and they look like they are over compensating. But youre not a true manlet in the original sense so you can pull it off better than you think, again just dont get too buff. But gaining like 10-15lbs of lean muscle will help you for a fact.

Second off, just throwing this out there but the 3 of the guys I met throughout my life of guys who happen to do best with women and got the most of them were guys between the height of 5'7-5'10. I know taller dudes who are like that as well but when i sat and thought about "who were the guys I met throughout my life who did best with the ladies" the first 3 that popped in my head were around your height. They were all socially skilled and popular guys though. Like charismatic or talkative.


Youre not quite short enough to where you would look like a meatball or the stereotypical manlet. So lift and also work on your social gains. If youre insecure about your height it will show. Having that mindset will handicap you socially 100%.

Okay I see, thank you

Also I'm usually charismatic around people or at least generally nice (a trait universally liked) and easy to talk to like I listen to the small details and I remember them when I talk with people after so I'm not doing too bad socially. I still have some work to do though cause as you see I made this post. Again though thank you
