not to be rude but why would you ever pump yourself up if you were short?

Edit Post

maybe it's just me but i happen to have wide shoulders as well as being short 1.74 so perhaps i'm skewed, but why would shorter guys lift? it seems stupid. it just makes you look shorter. is this not obvious? you want to be lean and dress in a way that doesn't cut your body in half, thus making you look shorter. monochromatic looks are your friend as well as forgetting belts, wearing higher waisted pants, and having your pants/jeans hang over your ankles while you're wearing lifts in some shoe. that would be my advice to add maybe 7cm to the perception of your height (assuming you're perhaps wearing 4cm lifts). tell me i'm wrong?

Muscular men always get respect unless they are veey short. Still they get more respect than being that short but skinny or obese.

Your question is silly. Height is one thing that matters on a man. Muscles are the second. A 5.9 muscular man always get much more respect than a 6.2 ft skinny sissy. Even a 5.5-6 dude could look very good with some proportionately big muscles.

yeah we live in different worlds. hot sk8ter boys are the hottest in my world. muscles are for cheesy lower class dudes. it's really corny to have muscles

i feel like i judge height by the length in someone's body. short/squat/square men look bad to me. i have quite wide shoulders for my height (i'm 16 collar ish) and long levers so being thin makes me look even longer. i don't look emaciated even when i'm thin just longer. guys who look really good to me are like matthew hitt or marcel castenmiller. i like and only envy youthful thin looking dudes with nice faces. muscular guys look stupid to me. they are openly mocked in my community. i admit that mine is probably narrow. i live in new york city among artists etc. i don't hang out with like guys who work in like marketing

yeah i mean i have long arms and wide shoulders. i just have shorter legs. i'm 174 so just a bit under 5'9'' which feels TINY in new york. 6'1'' is average here. all of my friends are taller than i am. i feel grateful to have a pretty face. but my friend's bf just said "all guys under 5'11'' are queer and i lol'd bc that's kind of true. to be shorter than 5'11'' in this world is to be othered lol.  i see what you're saying that you can only fool ppl so much. but i'm talking about looking good in clothes. i care more about that than looking good nked. i don't ever wear shorts except to work out. and not to height shame, bc i feel horrible about my height, but i dont know what i would do if i were 5'4''. 5'9'' feels tiny and i wear lifts constantly so people think i'm 6'. i thought i was 176 until my doctor measured me at 174 and it broke my heart. i cried afterwards. i've never had anyone i know guess me under 5'11'' in shoes. i cant wear like converses at 174. it's just not happening. even in brooklyn where ppl are shorter lol also everyone in my family except me is normal/tall. my mom is my height and my dad was 184cm. my brother is 182cm. my male cousins all 6'+ i just got   luck.

yeah i mean i'm talking about people going to art parties/ bars / cool places. i feel tall on the subway. i'm from an upper class family and world. upper class people are taller generally. i don't really get how i could feel better about my height seeing that i'm taller than some loser on the subway who is like a paralegal

wingspan 183, inseam i think 78, i wear a 16 collar or 38-40 suit, my feet are pretty big size 45/11 (american). i do have baby foal (lol) wrists tho. ngl. my ring size is just 10. i have a decently long neck but not a huge head i honestly think i would look fine w surgery. grigor dimitrov has a smaller head than i do and he's like 192cm. he's hot. i really just have short legs. my swim coach used to joke he never understood why i wasn't a good swimmer bc i'm built like a gorilla (i have such long arms for my height). lol. i get that some of you might not think being 5'9'' is horrible, and it isn't at all. i have no problem getting attention but without lifts it's fking short in new york city. you really have to be 6'4'' here or so to hear "you're tall" if i had this surgery it would just to be average/viable 181-182cm. that's 7-8cm
