Got asked to make a thread on how to be a "proud manlet" so here it is (inb4 strong username to thread content lol). BUT most of this info is not just for manlets!!!, including stuff that maybe could help other miscers feel more confident etc, even my insecure lanky manmore brahs lol (no hate manmore brahs, <3 u guise).
Ok gonna move on to other stuff applying to everyone but will start w the thing first concerning my fellow manlets height. Basic advice: learn not to give a fuk about ur height. I know easier said than done, but u can do it.
Some real talk: yes height matters some. It does NOT matter as much as u probably think it does, it does NOT matter for everything in life, and it sure does NOT matter as much as misc acts like. U dream of NBA career? Ok yeah ur height matters for that, sorry, but if u got the talent even that is in your reach: I aware u of Spud Webb, 5'7" NBA star http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spud_Webb. And most careers height is irrelevant. And yes SOME girls want only tall guys, but do u really wanna waste ur time with some bish that's so shallow she would rule u out for something u can't change? No u don't, let some manmore waste time w her and u find someone who will like u for u. And MOST girls won't rule out short men--how do u think we still have short genes in the population?--and some girls even PREFER shorter men and think we're cute etc. idk how tall Justin Bieber is but he ain't no manmore. Manlets have certain advantages too like easier to fit in cars and planes, easier to fill out our frames lifting, supposedly live longer on average etc.
Ur height is ONE thing about u that u cannot change, it will not limit u in any major way UNLESS U LET IT. So accept it and move on.
Now here's the part not just for manlets:
Everyone has at least one--usually more if we r being honest--thing about themself that they cannot change that they think as a negative. For manlets feeling insecure obviously the big thing of concern is height--not saying height is a negative but if u FEEL it is and focus on it then that's the problem so I will call it "the negative" for now. Whatever YOUR negative is--that is the negative thing/things that u cannot change that r making u feel insecure--stop focusing on that and start focusing on 1. GOOD points about yourself and 2. things u CAN change
Just like everyone has negatives all have positives too. Maybe u have facial aesthetics or intelligence or a special talent or meso body type or great sense of humor etc etc--you have SOMETHING positive about u, probably MORE than one thing! Think about those positive things and maximize them rather than on the negative things and maximizing them. Then there's probably also stuff about u that is not great but u can CHANGE. This is what lifting is all about--even if ur genetics r great u r not going to have a great physique if u never hit the gym--maybe ur facial genetics aren't great but u can change ur haircut etc. and do things to improve appearance, learn new things, be more social etc.
Cliffs:
-u already have positive things about u, focus on those instead of dwelling on the negative
-some negative things u CAN change/improve,make changes in those things instead of dwelling on things u can't change like height
Gonna end this post w a few tips/books that can help u develop more confidence and make positive changes. Might add some more thoughts to this thread later if ppl r interested, this post is already getting pretty dam long lol. Again this info is NOT JUST FOR MANLETS!
Try working on your thought patterns thru positive thinking/affirmations/self hypnosis/auto suggestion/visualization (I lump all together since IMO they're all kinda the same thing), it sounds corny but over time this stuff can work and change your thought patterns-->behavior-->what u attract in your life. a good place to start is the book Think And Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill, it talks about "riches" but u can apply it to whatever u are wanting, like attracting girls or we
-main idea is repeating specific positive statements to yourself over and over til they reach your subconscious changing your self view-->positive changes in behavior
-various different techniques for doing it, can involve just getting habit of running them thru your mind, repeating them out loud daily, with hypnosis tracks etc.
here's a couple links summing up some of the basic idea but there's a lot more out there and maybe some different techniques would work better for u than what it tells about http://www.vitalaffirmations.com/aff...0for%20romance
http://www.successconsciousness.com/index_00000a.htm
If u r religious at all, read The Power Of Positive Thinking by Norman Vincent Peale, similar ideas but Christian based, it's a quick read srs, very old book and style is really corny but u just gotta get past that and there's lotta good ideas in it, and here's a short pdf by the same guy w similar ideas http://www.drcolvard.com/thtcond.pdf (warning: atheists will rage ate peale's stuff so just disregard, posted just for the benefit of religious brahs)
How To Win Friends And Influence People by Dale Carnegie is a classic book w great tips for building ur social skills
The Power Of Now by Eckhart Tolle--been listening/relistening to audiobook of this and trying to apply some of the ideas, some of it is kinda hippy and "far out" IMO but think the basic idea of building presence-->more inner peace is good and helpful

I guess I'm technically a manlet, but after high school it never bothered me, that's considering my doctors/fam though I would be 6'0+ because all the tall genes in my fam.
Honestly who cares. It would be nice to be around 6'0'' because I notice those guys have real good proportions when they have muscle and dem striations and muscle seperationz of peace.
I'm not much shorter than average height anyways.ωσяℓ∂ тяανєℓєя ȼяєω

we all belong on this planet why should anyone feel inferior or an outcast? we all have the right to walk the streets. the problem is people focus on the wrong things in life (srs). height is only a problem when it becomes MENTAL instead of physical. seriously, how many times in life has height ever been an actual problem for you? even when it has been a problem, was it the sole problem in your failure? was there not anything else that you have power over that you could have done differently?

lol I honestly don't know why micers worry so much about their heights, srs. Manmores probably did a brainwash here, and now manlets are this insecure.
I know several people considered manlets, who date 8/10+ irl girls(would post pics, but too many detectives here).Last edited by Jw.; 01-09-2013 at 10:08 PM.

Worth the read brahs, even for nonmanlets like u giant manmore friend of manlets jubjub brah
Good attitude men!
hai brah
Thx brah, right attitude!
Some srsly do especially when younger, part of becoming a man IMO is getting over things like that and focusing on things that really matter, I'm fine w my height personally but not gonna lie growing up always being shortest guy in my class yeah sometimes it bothered me, even as a kid/teen I don't think I dwelled on it as much as some guys do--for me I guess tbh it also made me feel kinda special and stand out, can't be the tallest at least be the shortest lol--but yeah sometimes felt negative about it. Some brahs have harder time getting over it specially when younger, got asked to make thread like this by some manlet brahs on here struggling with it. But thinking about it realized these tips r not just for manlets, everyone has SOMETHING they could be insecure about, for manlets main thing might be height for taller brahs it's gonna be something else. So yeah that's main point, make the most of whatever u got, improve things u CAN improve, disregard the rest. We're all gonna make it brahs!
hehe ty men💪🏻Team Manlet💪🏻
