The importance of shoes and lifts (shortcels gtf in here)

When I was younger I had a friend of mine who was slightly taller than me, (I'm 5'11' he was a fraction over 6'0") and when we were hanging out at my house or something I used to notice how he seemed barely any taller than me.

But whenever we hit the clubs he used to tower over me.

He revealed to me years later that he always used to wear Doc Martins or Timberlands to the club, and he would load them with a 0.75" lift

He told me that any more than 0.75" lift was A) too suspicious and B) uncomfortable, but that you can (and should) always get away with a 0.75" boost.

So when we would hit the club I would be in the virgin converse (0.7" height boost)

He would be in the Chad timberlands w/lifts (1.65" + 0.75" = 2.4" height boost)

As you can see, in my footwear I measured 5'11.7" he measured 6'2.4"

BUT if I had his tactical footwear advantage and he had my footwear he would be 6'0.7" and I would be 6'1.4"

As you can see your footwear selection is SUPER important, it can make a big difference.
If you are up against a tall guy who knows footwear tactics and you don't, it is GAME OVER

Never wear, the virgin converse or vans classics

Always wear the chad timberlands or docs, (w a 0.75" boost)

While I have no doubt this works there's something inherently emasculating about needing stilts to attract women.

Not really.

Women are shallow and getting more and more and more shallow every passing year.

There are PLENTY of women who WILL reject a guy for being an inch "too short"

If you don't stack the deck in your favour then more fool you.

Meanwhile I smashed and dated multiple women taller than me.
Why lifts when it’s all about the face?
Would never rock lifts crew
