5'9 is NOT manlet.
The world average height for male was 5'7 i believe. It might have increased by an inch i guess??
Having a slouchy improper posture makes you lose 2 inches so then its possible.
Luckily you can improve your posture with little exercise unless you have a spinal injury or something.

Also 5'10 checking in;)

That´s rubbish. Being lean is far more important than height. In my teenage years I was tall, but not huge (1,89 cm). I wasn´t really obese or totally out of shape. I was rather fit, playing football and still being a good runner, but I was overweight nevertheless. Girls were making fun of me, at best they were ignoring me. I agree, height definetly is an advantage, but unless you are a close to midget size, being lean is far more important.

And yes, I know I have myself to blame for being overweight. But I thought there was no point in losing weight, since I would still be ugly.

I was more talking about guys working out to become muscular, and not someone who is overweight. Hard to know what other people mean when they say they're not obese but overweight.

I look shorter, even my brother once told me that, especially since I buzz my hair (I used to keep it quite long) and I lost a few pounds and got underweight in the last few years. I imagine that being bald, skinny and looking sick (pallor, etc.) make me look shorter than I am.

Are you 5'9?

Buy shoes one size too big with thick bottoms and buy two or three insoles and put them in it. Now you pass for 5'10 and a bit :p

I do this, usually leave two in and put an extra insole in when I'm going somewhere girls will be wearing heels.

You can buy very cheap shoe lifts on ebay and gain like 5-6 cm... I'm 5'6 and for a while I was insecure about it and used shoe lifts lol. Now I don't mind being shorter.

Sry, I am not a native speaker. Obese to me seemt to be someone who is really, really fat. I looked like this at 20 (still quite fit back then):

Lol, for women it is best to be a bit shorter, unless you are actually aiming to become a model.

I'm not aiming to be a model, I'm already 24 and also bald so that's out of the question haha. I don't mind being 5'6 though, it's not that short for a woman. It's just that before I had this desire to be tall, so I wore shoe lifts. Kinda funny lol.

Ectomorph means nothing. I'm an ectomorph, was always lanky/skinny until about the age of 20 when i decided i didn't want to be lanky and skinny anymore. I just looked weak. No excuse for being skinny. No excuse for being fat. I still have the wrists and forearms of a 14 year old girl though. I know i can improve them too its just a lot more effort. Also 5'9 is not manlet.

I can sympathize with your complaining about face but not with being a skinny ectomorph. You said you've never worked out you so you don't even know if you can improve. Maybe if you lift for a year and still look exactly the same, you can complain.
Always has a reason, and excuse for something not being done.

There always something. It's this, it's that.

Life built on a cope jenga tower. One day it will fall, and he will have to man up for once in his life. Tik tok, that's life going before him.

Once you experience an ounce of results it's all going up hill from there. Consistency is number one, and after that you find what works for you training, and diet wise. What I found most interesting about my journey is the delusional pill all liftees have when they first start training, it's like they suddenly see a muscular brute force after a few months, despite looking like a twink to others. This delude pill is what also fuels you to becoming stronger, bigger and faster every session afterwards. When I look back, I can't believe how tiny I was even after my first-second year, yet I felt huge back then. being blind, can also be a blessing. it's as though we start to look passed our short coming, and like what we see. Even if it's a .25 inch on our arms, it makes a huge difference. it's surreal, and something we never seen before.

can in haz moar gains pls

This. Once you look at yourself in the mirror with a pump after just a few weeks of going to the gym, you can see the result of where your body is going. Really incentivizes you to keep going when you can see the results right in front of you, and you know you're improving.



Yep. Regardless of Fred's hang ups about gymcelling/coping/meatheads lifting, he is 6'2 I think. Absolute godmode when you have a toned, muscular physique with that height. I mean having abs and filling out a T-shirt, not f*****g Ronnie Coleman size. No-brainer to begin lifting with that height. Short muscular guys just look like compensating manlets, can rarely take them seriously. And before you start Dante ,you're 5'9. That's not short.


I don't like to hate on short guys, but it's undeniable how everytime I see one I can't help but think he is my son, and I am his father. No doubt, that lifting weights is a saving grace for our horizontally challenged folks.

manletics is serious business

LOL, 5'6 does not seem short to me. But I am not sure how it does in meters. I am 1,62m and I feel good :)
What's it like having a manlet go down to town on you. Feet up, going full bull missionary.


Do you lol?

I see the logic, but I don't think the girl in question will have any issues locking down a man. She always has a boyfriend, and they are all long-term relationships. She has a boyfriend now, that wants to marry her and have kids with her. He is also rather short though, so their kid will indeed be short. However, they're both NW1 so it's not all hopeless lol.

I honestly believe my mother is the reason I am a framcel.

Father is 6'2 with broad bones, and mesomorph type bone structure. ALl though he's skinny in muscle. big hands, big forearms

yet I was given this fragile asian girl bone structure. small hands.. the usual package


shes 5'1.

my theory is that if you breed chicks like this you will have children strong like oxes. Big muscles, and thick bones

all though she's ugly as f***... you get the point.


skinny chicks breed framcels.

I'm a bit puzzled, like many here, I have a hard time believing that you are as ugly and scrawny as you say you are.

I thought I was extremely skinny, but it turns out I was too hard on myself, especially after reading shook's comment about his height and weight before lifting.

That's why today, I bought my first gym membership since 2009, when I also resigned to my bald skinny fate. Looking back, I don't think it was a mistake, I had other areas of my life that were more important, like trying not to kill myself because of hair loss.

Now I have more time to kill and a gym that's on the way back from work. Can't wait to post pictures of gymcels and to call everyone a twink!

Nice. Don't forget your food. Lean beef, chicken, eggs, oat flakes (great calorie source imo), veggies, platte kwark etc.

http://www.musclemeat.nl, is een goede site voor cheap food.. Volgens mij kan je Nederlands ;).

The owner of that food shop is a giant btw.

2.17 meter (little bit over 7'1), ridicilous. Dutch giant. Went from skinny with a hole in his chest (he got a operation) to dwarfing IFBB pro's just because of his length.

That's the main point: you're attractive, I'm not; you have "a certain look that appeals to a niche", I don't. I'm not "making up excuses" as the other good-looking gymcel prick usually says.

Why is everyone here so shocked by the fact that someone can be scrawny, ugly and balding?? Why are you all like, "Dante, I refuse to believe that you are what you say you are." I am sure look how you depict yourself Dante, otherwise you wouldn't be so f*****g depressed and wouldn't have painted such a vivid picture of yourself. Getting jacked, or dressing really nice, blah blah is obviously like a bandaid on cancer. Keep killing it at your job and grow extremely wealthy. then do whatever the f*** you want, despite all the social parasites that try to suck your life blood to make themselves feel better.
