REMINDER: sub 6 foot (the number not the actual height) / "180 cm" in metric land= over. Heightfrauding is an essential self-marketing strategy. (the real cutoff in the western world is like 5'10")
Non invasive methods / pseudo-heightmaxxing
Since we use visual cues to judge height; eye level, top of the head, shoulder height, waistline, leg length and subconscious factors, we can play around with these to manipulate them a bit. Visual cues like these can distract from the actual top of the head.
Eye level:
Pretty much the most essential part since we use eye level to judge height. Average eye level (top of the skull to the middle of the pupils) is 4.5 inches, nearer 5 inches if you're 6'3/190 cm, 4.2-4.3 inches if you're a woman who has a smaller skull than men on average, so if a man and a woman are of the same height, it's more likely you'll perceive the woman as slightly taller.
An eyelevel tilt can make a 4 inch height difference between people look like a 2-2.5 inch one.
Your skeletal structure dictates your shoulder height but deltoid + trapezius size can account for a significant difference (1-1.5"). Two people of the same height, the one with the higher shoulder line is likely to perceived taller.
So pay special attention to shouldermaxxing in your gymcelling routine if you don't have enough reason to already.
Waistline
It's frequently said that wearing your pants higher up your waist makes your legs look longer and hence you taller. I don't necessarily believe that.
I believe masculine decently big imposing torso combined with long legs is a sweet middle ground, even for attractiveness. Adjust your clothing/tucking aiming for the appearance of that middle ground. https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rsos.170399.
Medium torso + long legs > short torso + long legs > large torso + short legs
As a corollary, adjust trouser's bottom crop to low or high.
CAUTION: For god's sake never wear small sized skinny-tight looking clothing especially if you're a framecel. It makes you look like a ridiculous kid framed manlet. Put on bigger clothing, maybe get a medium tailored. Mainstream repetitive advice to look like a twink in disguise of wearing "muhh fitted clothes".
Footwear
Average person has footwear that gives 0.75-1.25 inches of height, so any incremental thickness on that gives you a height advantage over them. Combine them with shoe lifts if needed (which don't give as much height as advertised since the foot doesn't stay at the very back). You might need high-top footwear with more space if you're going more shoe lift layers.
Actual height gained by most shoe lift models (before eventual slight compression after regular use):
Layer 1: 0.7 inches (1.8 cm)
Layer 1+2: 1.1 inches (2.7 cm)
Layer 1+2+3: 1.4 inches (3.6 cm)
Layer 1+2+3+4: 1.7 inches (4.3 cm)
Posture
Muscles like the
When these muscles are imbalanced and too tight lead to kyphotic-lordotic curves in the spine and uneven hips coupled with a nutated sacrum causing pelvic-tilt, which can effectively reduce your height significantly.
Stabilizing these and core muscles should milk as much height out of your posture as possible. It's likely many here have some kind of incel posture and could benefit from this. Expect 0.25-1 inch or so.
These stretches below are recommended for scoliosis.
Lying on back with knees bent and feet flat on the floor. Flatten back by tightening stomach muscles and buttocks. Hold for 5 seconds, breathing normally. Repeat ten (10) times per set. Do two (2) sets per session. Do one (1) session per day.
On hands and knees, maintain tight abdominals with head straight (Photo 1). Take a deep breath in and lift your lower rib cage, round your back and relax your neck (Photo 2). As you breathe out, lower your chest towards the floor, looking slightly upward. Return to beginning position with tight abdominals. Repeat ten (10) times per set. Do two (2) sets per session. Do one (1) session per day.
Lying on back with knees bent and feet flat on the floor (Photo 1), keeping your back in a neutral position. Raise your legs off the floor one at a time so that your knees and hips are bent at 90° angles (Photo 2, 3).
Push your hands against your knees while pulling your knees toward your hands, which will engage your abdominal muscles (Photo 4). Keep your arms straight! Hold for three deep breaths. Repeat ten (10) times per set. Do two (2) sets per session. Do one (1) session per day.
With your eyes open, bend one knee up and balance on one foot. At first you may use your hands, like holding the back of a chair, table, or the wall. As balancing gets easier, take your hand(s) away and place them out to the side. Challenge yourself by bringing your arms across your chest. Close your eyes for an even greater challenge. Repeat five (5) times per set. Do one (1) set per session. Do one (1) session per day.
Incel neck posture
The fan-favourite.
Alexander technique
The Alexander technique teaches improved posture and movement, which is believed to help reduce and prevent problems caused by unhelpful habits.
Time consuming but good for you in other ways as well. Usually done with a coach.
Glucosamine sulphate and chondoitin

Inversion tables
Impractical to lie down during the day but it could give you a boost by decompressing your spine and an increase done on a regular basis, a miniature version of going to space.
Sleep
Sleep on your back for 8-10 hours every night for optimal restoration of spinal disc fluids and decompression.
Other
Shifting your weight onto one leg and rising up slightly can make you 3/4 inch taller temporarily. Might be useful in photographs, as can using your arm to compress the person next to you lol.
Subconscious factors
combining all of this should yield some appreciable result
water is indeed wet, thank you and have a nice day

- People tend to sometimes lower or raise their eye level; always keeping your head tilted slightly up and avoiding tilting your head down a lot is the ideal stance. (Avoiding a negative)

These stretches below are recommended for scoliosis.
1. Pelvic Tilts
Lying on back with knees bent and feet flat on the floor. Flatten back by tightening stomach muscles and buttocks. Hold for 5 seconds, breathing normally. Repeat ten (10) times per set. Do two (2) sets per session. Do one (1) session per day.
2. Cat-Camel

3. Double-Leg Abdominal Press
Lying on back with knees bent and feet flat on the floor (Photo 1), keeping your back in a neutral position. Raise your legs off the floor one at a time so that your knees and hips are bent at 90° angles (Photo 2, 3).
Push your hands against your knees while pulling your knees toward your hands, which will engage your abdominal muscles (Photo 4). Keep your arms straight! Hold for three deep breaths. Repeat ten (10) times per set. Do two (2) sets per session. Do one (1) session per day.
4. Single Leg Balance
(If possible, perform in front of a mirror to help visualize a straight spine.)
With your eyes open, bend one knee up and balance on one foot. At first you may use your hands, like holding the back of a chair, table, or the wall. As balancing gets easier, take your hand(s) away and place them out to the side. Challenge yourself by bringing your arms across your chest. Close your eyes for an even greater challenge.

Subconscious factors
- A longer midface, deeper voice, masculine features are positively associated with height - a twink neck will work against you.
- Halo effect
