So I just turned 18 and I really don’t know if my growth plates have closed but i’m pretty sure they did because i haven’t grown an inch since 16-17 im 161cm 5’3ish i’ve been gym coping, tried accepting it or lying to myself that i have a smaller frame and it’s easier to build muscles and faster compared to tall people so that i can ease the pain of being short ive been into looksmaxing since 2022 when i was 14 and tried every possible way to maximize my height by sleeping well, eating good and shi like that im not looking for any validation or anything js seeing if some of u mfs relate or know something on how to cope cuz ive got nothing rn

you unironically can’t.

Otherwise if you’re living in a third world country your parents could find yourself someone who you’ll marry and cope with that

Ay man sorry. But there is hope, LL is getting better and cheaper. I know this still sucks no matter what i tell you to do or whatever, but at least if you wage slave you have the option to change it.

ngl there are women who have fetishes for short men. If you fine dating like a 5'10+ girl. At least your kids would be taller.

I do have a girl but rare fetishes or her preference dont erase the ceiling you hit socially

shortcel life = permanent limits reality doesnt care about temporary comfort

Pursue your hobbies, that's the only thing I can tell you, keep yourself busy and have something on your mind at all times and you'll live a good life

All i’ve been getting is pity no coping solutions or anything and me too i don’t get how i even pulled this girl i’ve always asked her if my height was really an issue and she always told me that she prefers shorter guys and that the most important part is that i’m taller than her, mind you shes 4’11 never believed her or will :BLAPBLAP::AYOOO:

I'm really sorry for you bro, I also experienced the same bc of really late puberty and it only stopped once I reached around 5'8 now and started to look better. I honestly have no idea how you could cope with seeing short because I personally hated my life while beeing like 5'1 while everyone was around 5'10, you could ask an Ai like chatgpt that can help with coping

get LL. 5'6-5'8 is still okay but 5'3 is a joke height. 95% of women will reject you for it. If you get LL and heightfraud with lifts you can be 5'10 and have only 30% of women rejectyou for height. That's 14x more hoes statistically speaking

the only thing that could probably help you cope is that you are capable of pulling women as long as your like mmtn+

yes I mean in general you'll always be seen as the shortest but I'm just talking about dating life but if you are handsome you'll be known as a handsome short king but that's Abt it you'll never be able to get rid of it also it depends on your ethnicity what ethnicity are you bhai

being handsome helps a bit but baseline still owns you, ethnicity shifts social filters slightly but doesn’t erase the shortcel ceiling

Height matters the most for Black Americans then white

It doesn’t matter as such for any other race
