The whole manlet meme was fun, still enjoy making fun of lanklets. I think everyone benefits from being just a lil Veeky Forums, but especially manlets.

>height and weight?
175 cm 72 kg
>do people show you more respect or about the same?
Yeah but mainly because of my current confidence
>do girls admire you? Have you gotten laid more?
Yes, even have a gf now

Hell yes
>have you stopped thinking about your height? Or did it never matter to begin with?
Yeah, stopped thinking about it after meeting a lot more people
>what other aspects have you improved on?
Reading skills, starting conversations and my education
>Was getting fit worth it overall?
Of course, feels great. My advice is to leave Veeky Forums for some time.

No one gives a fuck about height if you're confident enough besides girls that don't like short guys. I don't really care because they have standards too just like how I don't fuck land whales. I'm fucking with a tall girl rn. I'm not even fit yet but I'm getting there and getting mires.
>5'7" 175
Nathaniel Watson
Mind posting a pic? You're my height and goal weight
Sebastian Cook
>nobody gives a fuck about height >besides girls that dont like short guys
so i guess the 90% of girls that dont like short guys "dont give a fuck if hes confident"
James Williams
90% of girls that don't like short guys would be the first to fuck Zac Efron lmao
Face is everything
Ayden Lopez
Generally speaking, no one's going to be like "He's 5'7 fuck that short ass bitch". I've met like 2 girls in my life that strictly say they don't like dudes under 6ft. I don't really seek out women taller than me. Most of the girls I've been with don't really care that much. Now if I was skelly and beta, that would be a different story.
Christian Lewis
Sure user. Faggot pose, but I was just dicking around with poses. I've been cutting for about 6 months now, originally I was 215lbs and here I am at I believe 177 or 176. Been lifting seriously for about a year.

Ex fat manlet here; Never cared about being short since I was way too absorbed on being fat. Now that I'm no longer fat and i hold some muscle on, with a great jawline, I get Bella mires from chicks. Everyone passing by stares or looks at me for a second, feels good to be recognized desu. Still don't care about height.

Liam Davis
did you have a fat as fuck face before? you seriously have a no homo cute face that I think girls would like.
Gabriel Brown
Yeah me a super cute 20year old at campus, fucked her 5 days after we met. Im 5'10, she's 5'7, heart-shaped face, gold-spun curly hair, big blue eyes, amazing tight ballet and judo ass, likes it rough Started lifting half a year ago, but was pretty built with some fat before due to sports Since working out/cutting attention has gone through the roof
Jacob Morris
5'7 155lbs Definitely more but duh. Yes. Have had no problems. I'm a lot better because of my fitness, but desu I'm more lonely than I've ever been just because of circumstance. I got fit after discovering Veeky Forums (even though I wouldn't say it's responsible.) desu I always knew I was short but it genuinely didn't bother me. Veeky Forums straight up poisoned my mind and brought me a lot of horrible feelings about it even though it hasn't seemed to affect me irl. It's fucked. Nah I haven't stopped thinking about it but it's a fucking MEME I'm tired of feeling self conscious on dates and while fucking ATTRACTIVE GIRLS some of which are TALLER THAN ME and still want to fuck me. I shouldn't feel worried, they're fucking THERE getting my dick but this God damn website AHHHHHHHHHHHHH Ya it was worth it
Christian Myers
When you're a manlet, you'll never reach 10/10 aesthetics. 8/10 is the maximum limit. But to answer OP's question: if you were a girl, would you choose a 5'7 average skinnyfat or a 5'7 fit guy?
Tyler Sanders
Ugly feet
Adam James
>5'8" in the Netherlands >balding, chinlet, skinnyfag, half-mexican >mfw I've always had attractive blonde girlfriends
Getting fit now, so not sure what's going to happen.
Normie advice is true however: 'b confident bro'. It's annoying as fuck to hear, but it's the goddamned truth.
David Perez
when you are attractive enough, that is. The difference between being confident and attractive and being confident and ugly is that the former gets laid, while the latter gets locked up
Nathan Nguyen
You'll laugh at me if I post my picture.
A few years ago I was a 5 on /soc/. I'm looking worse now. I'm not attractive. I just don't have something inherently wrong, like massive burns or tumors on my face.
I'm sorry, but 'just be confident' is all it is, as long as you take care of yourself.
Joshua Morgan
>5'8", 145lbs >people have started acting more friendly >admire yes, got out of a serious relationship just recently so no getting laid yet but girls flirt A LOT more >yeah >never mattered to begin with >fixed up my acne >absolutely.
Andrew Carter
Im not starting to shitpost about Looks theory or some other shit. Im good looking myself and the difference in reactions between me looking my best and bloated, chubby after a night of drinking is night and day. Obviously I feel more confident when I look my best. What we tend to do is like to take responsibility for positive things that happens to us, and deny responsibility for bad things. Its nicer to say to yourself that MY personality, and MY confidence helped me get laid rather than my face's bone structure.
Play your looks down all you want, thats fine. But know that what worked for you will not work for everyone else, and spouting simplistic bullshit advice to deformed or disfigured people will possibly get them in a lot of trouble. Good luck getting Veeky Forums, trust me your confidence will go through the roof :^)
Julian Green
The thing is, confidence is the one thing you can actually control.
Sure, at a minimum it requires you to groom yourself, be hygienic and wear nice clothes, but that's something you should be doing in the first place and again, that's also something you have complete control over. As long as these requirements are met, then that's it. You're ready to play the numbers game. Attractive people will have higher odds of success than unattractive people, but everyone knows that already.
I'm not sure what we're arguing, though. Confidence is key, I think we both agree to that, and some people will have it easier than others, but... so what?
Jackson Roberts
>I'm not sure what we're arguing, though. >Confidence is key I'd disagree here. It is not. How you carry yourself does matter, of course, but confidence is reliant on external validation much more than people like to admit. And in extreme cases the advice 'fake it till you make it' is downright dangerous.
When you look good, you feel that people notice you, are friendlier to you, strike up conversations, invite you to parties. That's where your confidence comes from. Now, no matter how well groomed you are, an extraordinarily ugly person might act as confident as he wants, he will never elicit the same response in other people, were he good looking.
So I dismiss this argument to moderation. "Yada, yada its both. looks matter who would have thought" One stems from the other, but not vice versa. Just pretending to be in a position in the social hierarchy people deny you to be will have repercussions.
Joseph Thomas
5'8 and I get chicks that I genuinely feel are out of my league. Insecurity and such doesn't go away even if you get big, fortunately I have a good group of friends that egg me on and tell me to stop being a bitch.
So yes
Isaiah Barnes
178cm, never had problems with girls, started getting fit because my blood pressure was really bad.
Evan Morris
Same, ex fat Manlet and it humbled me so much that I genuinely don't ever even consider my height. I'm just so happy to not be a fat fuck anymore that my confidence is through the roof while still being a nice person.
We're all gonna make it
Liam Rogers
>but confidence is reliant on external validation much more than people like to admit (...)That's where your confidence comes from.
Now I see what we disagree on then. The type of confidence you seem to rely on, is build like a house of cards and is closer to vanity than to confidence. Of course that's something that wouldn't work.
To me, confidence is self-love and comes from within. It's accepting of who you are and is far more robust than what you seem to suggest. It's the type of confidence that everyone needs to develop, and once you have it, it can weather many storms.
So, again, confidence is key. Just don't confuse it with vanity.
Caleb White
jesus fuck dude 140lbs. I was just curious to see this thread but god damn. I weigh 180 and look /auschwitz/ as fuck.
Jeremiah Smith
>The type of confidence you seem to rely on, is build like a house of cards and is closer to vanity than to confidence. Of course that's something that wouldn't work.
Wouldnt work for what? You were talking about getting with good looking girls. If you suggest self-love is enough to attract beautiful women, then you're full of shit. Again, its easy to go on and on about how you only need to love yourself and automatically everything else will fall into place, but to many especially here spouting this and other nonsense is nothing but self-congratulatory, condescending empty phrases being flung around by people without selfawareness or the capacity for empathy. Its good that you are happy on that front, but you need to recognize that other people have it much harder. To them, the self-love you go on about is nothing but a testament to your vanity and self-absorption.
Jace Perry
>>height and weight? 5'7, 75 kg as of today
>>do people show you more respect or about the same? Generally yes, they respect me more. But I noticed some people are now very insecure around me
>>do girls admire you? Yes but I don't care, homofag masterrace here.
>>Have you gotten laid more? Yep. Have a bf now, we both browse Veeky Forums. He's a lanklet who has a thing for manlets and we both rib each other on our lifts and height.
>>do you feel better about yourself compared to before? Yes
>>have you stopped thinking about your height? Or did it never matter to begin with? Never mattered to begin with.
>>what other aspects have you improved on? Study habits, general psychological health, posture. Getting fit also solved my migraines, so I got rid of all my chronic pain
>>Was getting fit worth it overall? Yes, absolutely
Andrew Diaz
will read these epics after i read up on nietzsche
Gavin Robinson
Just wear shoes and call yourself 6 feet
Logan Stewart
you sound like a miserable incel cuck. confidence is literally the exact fucking opposite of outside validation. its not about clenching your jaw and holding breath, its not about trying to be a jerk and humblebrag, its not about not holding a bag if a girl asks, its not about ignoring lesser people, its not about being ripped, its not about reading redditorpill. confidence is all about being comfortable with yourself. confidence is about not putting people on the pedestal, its about knowing and accepting yourself with your limitations without pretending to be someone else. its about putting work into something and being happy about it without outside confirmation. this board is a mixture of incels that cant accept the fact they wont ever look like a model, miserable cunts pretending to be alpha and successful, people with tumblr-level mental illness and they will never make it
Grayson Watson
Yes lol.

btw is 180cm (5'11) considered a manlet in your country?

forgot the weight, 73kg
Jack Brown
Not that guy you are talking with but he's right. You are contradicting yourself and in so revealing yourself though. First you say that self-love isn't important in getting girls, but then you say that self-love is too hard for some people.
Yes self-love is hard to obtain, can be harder for some yes, but CAN be obtained by anyone. Saying that it's too hard is the same kind of logic that forever fats have: "It's too hard to lose weight". Fucking midgets with cerebral palsy can self-love and get laid. Are you worse than literal retards?
Zachary Morris
>Dated 5'7" guy for a while. I'm 5'9", myself. I enjoy being taller, I'm pretty domineering in bed and the height thing works for that.
>He had long hair, scruffy beard, chubby mofo... Literally one fedora away from being the m'lady guy.
>Said he enjoyed being with me because I was smart, well-spoken, and funny. I won't lie, I liked him for the same things. He wasn't 10/10, neither was I, but we got along and very well.
>Dumps me 6 months later for a shorter girl who doesn't even want to be with him. Tells me only after girl rejects him, and lies about it several times beforehand.
That's honestly the fucking last time I'll ever date a guy like that. The street goes both ways, all of the hat-tippers that complain they can't get a gf... I tried it. I tried going with one of you and I learned my lesson. Never again.
Literally, never again, I'm engaged to a 6'4" lanky mofo. Skinny as fuck, gives the best snuggles.
Robert Cox
Being a short guy that likes taller women is suffering.
I'm 5'7 and the tallest woman I fucked was 5'10 (probably taller never asked). Best sex, I came buckets almost instantly every time I put it in her and usually I take forever to blow my load. I fucked it up pretty bad being a asshole and treating her like shit, I still think about her every now and then and I've fucked several women since, even have a girlfriend that is shorter then me now.
That was before I start going on Veeky Forums though, she used to make fun of me for being short but I never thought much about it and just laughed with her, never really thought much about my height at all except for the rare instances where a girl I knew would reject me to date a taller guy (only happened with two girls, one of which I ended up fucking multiple times anyway and the other well we kinda hate each other now so nothing will happen between us for a while, also she's dating some lanklet).
My point is height doesn't matter unless you make a big deal out of it, I'm 5'7 and fucked plenty of women, probably too many because I can't remember most of their names and because this was during a time I was going through a depression and compensating for my oneist waifu not noticing me (friend zone).
So don't think about height and it's all good unless they specifically bring it up, and even if they do it doesn't matter laugh if off. I'm a guy that has had literal Amazons begging for his dick.

Same. I really hate the manlet meme. Mods should ban height threads. It has nothing to do with fitness. Well, the sense that the lanky fags are using it. I mean I'm 5'9 so it's not that big of a deal but still

Julian Collins
>height and weight? 5'8 155 lbs.
>do people show you more respect or about the same? Yes, in fact, it has made me more confident and I am more respected. Men especially respect me more as I'm pretty built now with pretty low body fat (13%ish).
>do girls admire you? Have you gotten laid more? Yes, when I talk to girls or walk by them I catch many of them doing a double take at my arms (as they are pushing 16"). I wouldn't say I get laid more, I'm in a Ph.D program and am pretty focused on academics. I do make a descent amount of my autistic female colleges lose their spaghetti (as I have an above average face and nice body for a science Ph.D student).
>do you feel better about yourself compared to before? Yes.
>have you stopped thinking about your height? Or did it never matter to begin with? I have stopped thinking about my height, I've dated several women that have been slightly taller than me. I will say though, my height has only been a disadvantage at bars or clubs. Other than that, it really hasn't been a draw back. On the other hand, 5'8" really isn't terribly short (relatively speaking).
>what other aspects have you improved on? I have become an academic as well as Veeky Forums.
>Was getting fit worth it overall? Yes, I have used the gym as an outlet for the stress in my life. It has also been useful in teaching me discipline and persistence.

Sure I'd rather be 6'2, but being under 6' hasn't negatively impacted my life. Maybe think about it once or twice a week. About to get my bachelors of science in psych stats.

Jace Davis
Manlet is a meme, Tyson was 5'10".
Robert Bailey
Height is a meme.
5'9" here and has always been overweight around 240-250lbs. Once I dropped down to 185lbs women just became easy. People will find you more approachable if you arent fat. I hurt my lower back and have only been lifting 2-3 times a week and eating fuck all these past 2 years and I got back up to 250lbs. This time around I had way more muscle since I had been lifting for a couple of years. People wouldnt believe me when I told them I was 250lbs because I held it a lot differently this time around. Women are still just as easy.
Basically use fitness to help you get out of your shell. Youll think being fit will be the reason you made it but the real reason is that you made it inside you head and youre projecting that to others and theyre believing it.

Well might as well kill myself. Shame I was almost at 10% bf and I've been smashing more pussy then I care to count. Doesn't matter since I'll never be a toxic skinny lanklet like you though.
