Quote from: Bruce Wayne on November 20, 2020, 12:24:21 AMEuh, no. Here's the definition of BDD that I took from a quick Google search:
So in your case, you are a 5'6" man and think that you are short and feel bad about it, you don't have actual BDD. Your negative perception of yourself is justified and aligned with the reality since you are, in fact, short. You aren't imagining things and others will also see you as a short man.
But when a 5'11" man feels short, now he indeed has BDD in which case what he needs is not LL, but mental help.
In short, LL is not a cure to mental disorder.
Actually, that would be the only other reason to do LL besides women. You do LL to look better to other people and people are either men or women. You won't be that much dominant though (a true physically dominant men would be Jason Momoa or The Rock's sizes and heights which are not achievable via LL), but definitely respected more by them. As long as you don't get into an actual fight with them in which case, you will be more likely to lose (thank to LL).
My fault.
I wanted to say that it is stupid to do LL mostly for being dominant to other men without looking good to women.
A man that has the acceptance of women feels and is a dominant one more than a tall skinny jerk or a massive bber that women hate.
Being domimant to other men is not that hard if you have an about average height (even at 5.7) some muscles and a manly face.
But being attractive to women is not easy without a decent height.

I think it’s the other way round:
Being attractive to women is not that hard if you have a handsome face, a decent body, and are of average height (or slightly below).
But being dominant to other men is not that easy without a decent height.
Bodybuilder and notsobigbadbruin....i think both of u are wrong and right to some extent....coz a below avg. Height and a handsome manly face and a decent body is enough to be dominant to both man and woman....a living example is tom cruise i mean that guy is just big in good at whatever he does....he is charismatic even when he is angry....he is definately short at 5'7 but he fought 6'1 big buff superman in a movie and if u have seen MI7 i would say he was holding pretty much good during the last fight sequence....yeah i know its a movie but come on we get our ideas from movies only..ppl judge other ppl by seeing movies only(especially girls)....and tom cruise gets called dominant by woman like paula patton and his wife nicole kidman,katie holmes....so yeah height is definitely a boon but there are other ways to be mature and dominant....but to fit in big L size clothes you do need a taller or bigger torso aka height😅..and another short dominant guy is James macavoy same height as tom.

The only problem is, any taller guy can also gain some muscles and have a manly face easily.

Correct.
Quote from: Bruce Wayne on November 18, 2020, 11:10:49 PMSo the only 2 real reasons to get LL are just to be more attractive to women and respected by other men.
The fact that you're in relationship doesn't change anything. You can be in a relationship and aren't seeing other women but you can still have the innate desire to be seen as attractive by other women in general or as in your own words, "being seen as a man".
These were just some examples that came to the top of my head. Yeah, most of the ones I came up with are in fact partitions of the two reasons you mentioned, but there is also the reason of doing this for yourself. This particular reason has nothing to do with women or men. In my personal experience, I always dress up to feel good about myself, and I don’t care if a girl or a guy tells me I look bad, I’ll still believe I look great. Just because your self esteem pivots around other people’s opinions, doesn’t mean you should be portraying that personal insecurity as everyone else’s. Keep your s*** to yourself and don’t establish your two reasons (for getting CLl) on concrete as the only ones.
Quote from: Body Builder on November 19, 2020, 11:14:31 PMI have to agree. LL is mainly for becoming more attractive and then feel better with yourself.
Only a fool would do LL to be more dominant to other men.
At my (average) height and with my muscles I don't really feel intimidated from men at any height.
What are you even saying, my dude. Go stand next to Francis Ngannou, Curtis Blaydes or Jairzinho Rozenstruik and I’ll be impressed if you can keep your panties from falling. Short bodybuilders don’t really make anyone feel intimidated. People just think that they are getting huge to compensate for their height, at least that’s my case. But being near trees like Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson or guys like him, well... that’s a different story. You just know they can smack the life out of you.

I wear XL and my torso is of a 5.7 man.
Most t shirts are still slim for me and some a little long (not much) but I don't care.
So a short man can wear L and XL. I am one.
Also, Cruise is not a domimant man physically. He is handsome and most women liked him but not what a dominant man looks.
But I really never cared about being dominant. Most men call me big dude and they praise my body (although I am not even close to a heavily juiced bb) but although it feels good, I would prefer to be a moderate guy to other men but more women feel attracted by being small next to me, as most of them want.
And it is a pity that although I am almost 50% wider than most of women, I am about the same height with most of them if they were high heels.
So really being dominant is not so important I believe.
And trust me, even if you are 5.6, if you get roids and work out as a beast most men will feel intimidated even much taller ones.
But still, most women won'r even care.

These men are almost 1 to a million.
So the possibilities is that I won't stand next to dudes like them or I would a very few times in my life.
I am talking about everyday life.
And see men like Dexter Jackson or Kai Greene (5.6 and 5.75) next to an everyday man and you would see how a short bb could look huge and intimidating.
In that case, we would almost never be standing next to someone like Dexter Jackson. But just for the fun... who would rather do a stare off with, Ronnie Coleman or Dexter Jackson. In this case you can see why height does in fact make someone more intimidating. These were two bb competing around the same division, but still Ronnie dwarfs Dexter, even though he himself is not that tall.
