/fa/ - Fashion

Russian gene therapy or human growth hormone are theoretically the only ways, once a person passes a certain age when they stop growing.

I'm sorry friend but I don't think you can just 'get taller'
just hope for a growth spurt I guess :/

>This board is filled with manlets so at least one of you has to know something.

If they knew something they wouldn't be manlets

>>9916936

u dont
there is literally you can do about it
>18
makes sense
own up to it you pussy

Get a good career
abandon all hope of ever having a family
live in the shittiest cheap room thing you can
Save every penny for limb lengthening surgery
you could probably end up 5'10

>>9916964
That fucks up your bones though. Well I guess it's better than halving your lifespan.

5'6" isn't even that short. Just have a personality, some interests you're passionate about, and a sense of humor, and you'll be fine.

>>9916936
Don't worry about your height.

Just date girls that are shorter than you.

Or grow a pair and date whoever you want.

Cop better genetics

>>9916964
>>9916967
hahahahha what the fuck

limb lengthening surgery is a real thing

>>9916936
>implying 5'9" isn't a manlet

lol, what were you expecting OP? Your height is genetically pre-determined.

>>9916975
>5'6" isn't even that short

I hooked up with my first two girlfriends when I was still around 5'7". Both of them approached me first and said they'd been crushing on me for a while. I'm 21 and 5'10" now and honestly not much has changed in the chicks department, besides the fact that maturity has made me better at approaching them instead of vice versa.

I seriously think a lot of Internet people over-attribute their successes and failures to height. This is what I do: Groom reasonably, don't stink, wear whatever makes me feel good and compliments my attributes, crack jokes, and be friendly.

Having a likable personality goes a lot further than +/- 3 inches in height IMO. It's also a lot harder to develop when you spend all your time being insecure and angry on 4chan, surrounded by edgy rejects who probably hate themselves.

>>9917112
it's taller than most manlets

18 and 6'2
how to stop being a manlet, /fa/ ?
I at least want to be 6'3
This board is filled with manlets so at least one of you has to know something.

>>9917112
5'9 isn't thaat bad, around average height.
I categorize manlets as below average height, so 5'8 and below

>>9918112
I'm 5'8

How?

Do you actually stop growing at 18?

I just turned 18 last month and I'm only 5'4". Havent grown much since middle school, used to be the tallest kid in my grade and everyone said I'd be a giant by now because my dads tall

I guess, unfortunately, I was screwed over by my moms 5'1" genes .-.

>>9918381
haha my mom is like 5'4 and my dad is 6'1 but im 5'7 and im still growing, im probably taller now i should go check.

>feels good man.jpg

>>9916936
It's like every day we have the obligatory height post.

1) You care about this more than anyone else will, ever.
2) /fa/ and /fit/ blow the situation out of proportion because it's an immutable and objective characteristic they can latch on to criticize people,
3) The few people who do care are assholes, much like people who criticize girls for breast size or guys for dick size,
4) Most of you aren't done growing yet because you're under 21 or whatever the final cutoff age is, and
5) Even if it was a major flaw, dressing better and being confident will "fix" it every time.

>>9918381
>Do you actually stop growing at 18?
No, you don't.
Men are fully developed somewhere in their mid-twenties, I think it's somewhere around 23-25. For women it's around age 18-20.

>I just turned 18 last month and I'm only 5'4".
It's tough to say how much, if any, you could grow, but you still have like 6 years. I'm 19, going to be 20 this year, and I'm still growing. Was 6' a little more than a year ago, now I'm just rounding up to 6'1. Both my parents are around 5'10-11 and I take mostly from my mother's side of the family, especially her father, and he was around 6'3, so I could potentially end up on 6'2 or even more.

>>9918480
if you are under 5' 10", women will consider you "short" - that's not necessarily a deal breaker, but it definitely makes things harder. there's exceptions to the rule, but most short men i know are not successful with women

Tall people can't buy Japanese clothes
Fact
5'2" reporting

>>9917154

Pretty much this

Being attractive and having other positive personality traits can negate the shortness for most people

The girls I've seen who are really fixated on height are usually the ones with not much to them aside from the fact that lots of guys want to fuck them

Also there are a lot of insecure short/tall girls with fixations on height. With them you can pretty readily tell it's a projection of their own insecurities, so you're basically dodging a bullet there.

im 5'7 and female still growing, whos the manlet here?

im sorry i just dont give a fuck 100 percent of the time

>>9919034
I made this info graph template for this thread's topic and especially you. Feel free to put manlet brands for your height, and keep track of all the brands for people 6 feet and above.

>>9919056
do ppl actually care what people here dub as fahsionable? thats preschooler shit.

>>9916936
check that your posture is perfect, if not that could help you get another inch or so

>>9919067
Yeah man, we're really insecure about our appearance, that's basically why we have this board. We even made a info graph about what's fashionable

>>9917138
Oh, it's short, but not Skrillex/Tyrion Lannister short.

The tallest girls usually are is about 5'7" - 5'9", so 5'6" isn't too short in comparison. It's still shitty, though. I'm 5'7" and do not like it at all.

>>9918547
Don't give him false hopes, most men stop growing around 18. I grew up to 6'6" at 18 years old and most of the people I know stopped growing at 17.

>>9918480
>1) You care about this more than anyone else will, ever.

Well, yeah, other people can dismiss you, whereas you're stuck with that body forever.

>3) The few people who do care are assholes, much like people who criticize girls for breast size or guys for dick size,

…or like guys who don't like obese girls. Which is most guys. Chicks dig a tall man. You don't have to be tall, but it helps.

>>9918732
>lots of guys want to fuck them
Well I wonder why.

5'10 and i hate my fucking self.

>botched male model potential

>>9919107
>Well, yeah, other people can dismiss you, whereas you're stuck with that body forever.

People can also dismiss you because they look like someone who stole their toys as a kid. Being insecure about this is simply unnecessarily crippling.

>…or like guys who don't like obese girls. Which is most guys. Chicks dig a tall man. You don't have to be tall, but it helps.

I'll agree that many girls like tall men, but (1) the definition of "tall" is pretty variable, and (2) obesity is a byproduct of laziness and lack of self-control, not necessarily immutable physical characteristics.

But yeah, sure, if you're 5'2" you might not get as many girls as a guy who is 6'2". If you let that burden you and define your interactions with others, you're going to have a shitty life.

>>9916936
Since you're just about young enough for one last spurt:
Human growth hormone + paleo diet or anti-estrogenic diet + full body exercise (e.g. swimming or burpees)

Avoid drinking beer: if you want to get hammered, don't do it more than once a week, and go for wine or hard liquor. Cocktails are fine, the main thing is to avoid hops and excess of alcohol.

Hmm, you seem like a likeable person.
... Ironically that already makes you so much more attractive than two thirds of /fa/ regardless of height.

6'1 in the morning
age 20
father 6'4
mother 5'4

fortunately I feel like I'm still growing. I have a twin brother who matured faster than I. He got armpit hair at 13, I got it at 15. His voice dropped middle school, mine dropped sophmore summer. He's 6'2. If the pattern continues, I should be 6'2 before I'm 22. IDK whats wrong with my late blooming genetics. Think I'll live longer too?

>>9919367
the examples are guesstimates, the point is I'm 2 years behind

>>9916936
The height challenged man should wear clothes that eliminate any contrast and clutter in the midsection. On the original Two and a Half Men, both guys were about the same height, but Alan always wore large horizontal stripes while Charlie wore vertical stripes with a bit of scruff. Be Charlie, not Alan.

Get well fitted clothes and blogs like A Modest Man and shops like Peter Manning will help.

>>9916936
1. Fall asleep before 11pm every night, 9-12 or 10-12 is like growing time or something. Sleep 8 hours minimum.
2. Eat calcium and iron rich foods, foods which grow your bones.
3. Exercise, do exercises which make you jump, and lift yourself up.
4. Look at your mum, dad and grand parents, if one of them at least is tall, you have a chance, if all short, you're doomed. Good luck manlet.

5'9. King of Manlets.

My dad got involved in Basketball and said he would have been a manlet had he not played.

All his brothers are manlets. So maybe there is some genetic expression.

>>9926414
You're probably right

Doing shitloads of streching and jumping when your growth plates are still open can make you grown more than normally.

Must be the same for the post you replied to,since soccer players do it since childhood.

>>9926414
I swear the whole basketball = grow taller is a myth.

I read somewhere that the reason you see such tall basketball players is because they are successful due to their height; they don't become taller as they play. It's a bias. It's like some people think Oxbridge students are the smartest due to the superior teaching at the university, but really, it's due to rigorous application conditions and rough interviews allowing only the smartest to enter. The people who actually get in are naturally smart regardless of how good the teaching is.

You're 100% right

Same thing goes with weight lifting; some people claim the weight pushes down on you somehow and makes you shorter.

It's actually the opposite; if you're shorter, you'll have an advantage since you have to lift the weight a smaller distance from the ground.
