But yeah i forgot how much young people care or worry about their looks when in reality they are in peak glow. I cant imagine what goes through the heads of young guys these days, I havent even really thought about what kind of messages MSM and apps are sending them and a lot of the old advice about chasing girls these guys are now being told conflicting messages about dont be masculine, dont do this or that with women but then the girls are still going to be attracted to certain things no matter what society tells them. young men have to be a mess and nobody is really looking out for them.
lets be real.
if you are taking a 40 min. shower you are rubbing one out.

i literally take 10 min. showers and always have my entire life from teens til now.
the only exceptions were when i shaved my face in the shower or i was spanking the monkey.

What height would you choose if the genie asked you?

Is there a point of life under 5 10?

Can you ever command any sort of respect as a man under that threshold.Hell would you even want to?

The kids (basketball players teenagers) legit were saying they'd rather be dead (ded fkn srs)
Fake story is fake but besides that, in regards to the bolded -

Napoleon, Winston Churchill, Alexander The Great, Mussolini (not saying he was good, just commanded a nation) - 5'6"

Stalin, Lenin - 5'5"

Amenhotep I, James Madison, Ghandi - 5'4"

And these are just political/religious leaders. Ignoring celebs and athletes.

And before you jump on me, I am 5'10"

Sometimes I wish I was under 6’ so that nothing else that happened to me would ever seem that bad by comparison

6' is the new 5'10"

If you aren't at least 6'2" you are coping.

Fukn brutal. I’m 5’10

Almost rather be shorter so that I’m not teetering on the “almost” edge. If I were single and stacking cash rather than family man while stacking cash I’d do the leg breaking height surgery.

Insane how much it matters and how much importance people put on it

I'm around 5'10" and most other men are around my height in my state.

I've never seen any importance put on it except in the modern online dating app world. Other than dating, and seeing profiles saying "don't mesage me if you are under 6 feet" I haven't seen it brought up anywhere.

Getting leg-breaking surgery at 5'10" would be a bit insane.

the biggest slayer i ever knew was 5'8"
Couldnt believe how easy it was for him to pick up girls. He wasnt even a chad in facial department he was maybe a 7/10 but he just has the right game and personality

I really doubt this is reality especially when the average height in America is 5' 9"

now, maybe if you start saying 5'4" and below we could have a real discussion but even then there is more to life than comparing your height to others. your eyes still enjoy the same sights, your ears still enjoy the same music, ext. height shouldnt be a factor in your happiness

The insecurity about height is more of a misc thing but mainly because this website attracts the most insecure men. There is research that suggests men who are into bodybuilding have the most insecurity and try to maximize their masculinity by building muscles.
Aka this is the biggest collection of cope on the web, so what you see on this website isnt close to reality

Yeah I think ultimately it comes down to being a misc obsession because of insecurities.

And it never even used to be a big deal on the Misc until after the Zyzz "aesthetics" era when everyone started obsessing about height and "facial aesthetics" and all that crap. In the earlier days of the misc, height was never even discussed.

On here....5'10" and under is considered manlet status....but literally around 75% or more of other men in the USA are around that height. Its really not as big of a deal except for the shallow dating app world and some shallow sloots wanting a "tall guy" and won't settle for anything under 6'2" or something

This is all pre-obsession with social media, where the most any self respecting guy had was a ******** they updated occasionally, but:

- had a 5’6” friend and I could tell his height held him back in a lot of ways, even though he was good looking

- had a 5’9” friend and he was fine.

Image it has gotten worse lately though w/ social media standards
