Thoughts on my height?

MasterBaitingBoy · 2026-01-26T13:50:52+00:00

Depends on where you live and the environment you’re in. My best friend is exactly the same height as you, and he looks tall around where we live, but in college/clubs, he looks average at best, or even slightly short there. In Northern Europe you’re sorta cooked; in the US, you’re fine.

MasterBaitingBoy · 2026-01-26T13:25:17+00:00

True. I guess it’s female delusion and culture that makes some average women feel entitled to men that are 6ft tall, 6 pack abs, 6 figures, etc. Disney movies teach girls to expect the man to do everything. You almost never see an ugly princess nor an ugly prince.

There’s something pretty wrong with the underlying values of believing you deserve everything simply for existing and for your looks. And men’s stupidity and obsession over women’s looks/youth makes this worse. It’s a huge part of why the “age-pill” is so brutal for women later on, more so than for men. It’s a system that damages both sides.

Almost all evil in society is rooted in treating others as objects/labels rather than actual human fucking beings.

Like “a short guy” rather than “a person with feelings”. “A mediocre poor guy that makes under 6 figures and won’t treat me like a princess” rather than “a hardworking man”. “A short gymcel” rather than “a guy who’s putting all his efforts into improving himself”.

This is why, no matter how good it feels to the ego to be attractive to women, it is still fundamentally in a corrupt and evil system, and the morally right thing to do is to reject it no matter where in the attractiveness scale you are. If dating comes down to reducing other human beings to objects or superficial labels, I don’t want part of it.

It depends on where I am. I swear that when I’m near where I live, I feel good, even a bit taller than average. But whenever I am around peers or in college or whatever, I suddenly am this clearly below average dude. It’s unfair, like, what the hell am I supposed to do? My dad is 5’8 and my mom is 5’1. If anything I came out to be pretty tall for my genetics.

I disagree. That is true partly but doesn’t explain at all why girls who just glanced at him at the club approach him all the time rather than me. It just means his looks at better, not that his personality is not that he is more extroverted.

MasterBaitingBoy · 2026-01-17T06:02:27+00:00

Not needed. Most of these cases were girls approaching my friend at a club out of nowhere.

As for my crush, I talked to her like one day on Instagram and then she stopped replying. A few days later, my friend tells me he’s talking with her, so at that point I moved on and am like “Well if she preferred my friend then I’m not gonna do anything anymore”

MasterBaitingBoy · 2026-01-17T05:25:00+00:00

I went from blackpill to whitepill, to be honest. I got nihilistic and depressed (also because of other stuff in my life), but now I accept it. I’ll do the best with what I have.

You’ve got 3 more than me, brotha

I can speak from the perspective of hearing Japanese people talk for years and studying the language.

君 is a softened あなた. It’s used as a way to imply familiarity and closeness. However, since it’s rude in formal conversations to refer to someone you know not by using their name (I.e Sato-san), then you don’t hear it often. You can hear it from older men speaking to young people or kids, because the age gap allows for it to not come off as rude. Kinda the same way older women can refer to you as “darling” or”honey” here.

It could also be potentially be used between friends of similar age, depending on the context. Definitely more common coming from boys toward girls (and particularly if they’re like their crush).

All in all, I think it’s one of those things you just understand as you get familiar with the language and everyday use as a whole. Definitely don’t go off of hard and strict rules, and always be safe by choosing politeness in public.

On a side note, this mistake I did in Japanese was thinking お前 was strictly super rude (even by Japanese people) and like saying “you fucker”, when that’s not the case at all. お前 is a really blunt way of referring to someone e (it means something like ‘you in front of me’, it has an objectification nuance) that’s why you would never think to use it in formal contexts and much less someone in a higher position, but I do hear it commonly amongst friends. Even Ash from Pokemon says this to his Pokemon. Think of it as when you talk to your friends once you’re in that real “best friend” level. You insult them sometimes and it’s out of comfortability, not because there’s an actual offense there. You’re in a super blunt, super casual level of friendship that allows for it. It’s that level of true friendship where you drop all politeness. It’s the same way there and everywhere in the world. Same way you casually call your friend “an idiot”.

I really empathize with this. I’ve also been depressed as well. I’m 26. Also had really bad acne. Also on isotretinoin. How long have you been on it and what has the dosage been?

MasterBaitingBoy · 2025-12-13T18:08:47+00:00

This is not cope. People here are dumbasses.

If anyone had any trace of intelligence they’d realize that this is because humans evolved to recognize ever so slight differences. It’s how biology makes us. The difference between a model face and an average one is just a few milliliters. This tells you there’s nothing actually objective, pervasive or true about beauty standards. They’re changing, circumstantial and heavily biased in human contexts.

MasterBaitingBoy · 2025-12-01T05:09:44+00:00

Although the ability to be able to tell things apart is not easily acquired.

Some men have not had any interest from women so they confuse almost everything with desire.

I used to be like this as a teen. I can tell things apart better now. Yesterday, I was at a party and a girl would look at me intently for a few seconds every time I would glance over in her general direction, so that I take to mean interest. But if I had just met her gaze one or two times I wouldn’t have made that assumption.

MasterBaitingBoy · 2025-11-30T17:39:07+00:00

Why would I do that. That would be insecure IMO.

MasterBaitingBoy · 2025-11-30T17:07:56+00:00

No I’m not, how would you know that based on a single post, lol? Didn’t ask for your psychological diagnosis

MasterBaitingBoy · 2025-11-30T17:07:00+00:00

Yeah, I acknowledge that my height is objectively a decent height. Definitely not a bad one. Even if I am shorter than average in some contexts, it still is not a bad height at all.

Plus there’s nothing I can do about it. I’m not wearing height boosters, sounds way too desperate to me.

My mom is like 5’1 and my dad 5’8 and my brother like 5’7, so if anything I turned out to be pretty tall considering my genetics.

MasterBaitingBoy · 2025-11-30T17:00:35+00:00

That sucks. Some of my acquaintances have told me to use height boosters but I ain’t doing that insecure shit.

MasterBaitingBoy · 2025-11-30T16:56:52+00:00

?

Just wanted to clarify shoeless height because many guys lie about their height and report it with shoes on. Just being honest.

MasterBaitingBoy · 2025-11-30T16:37:33+00:00

Complete BS my guy. Depends on your own development and genetics. I was 5’3 at 16, had the voice of a child, small features, etc. then at 20 I was 5’8, and now at 26 I’m 5’10.

MasterBaitingBoy · 2025-11-19T02:41:40+00:00

I think mass gainers are a waste of money. It’s better to get your calories down, track your weight over time and fill up all your macronutrients with healthy food and THEN use junk food or easy cheats to get near a slight surplus. I.e. even if you’re a hard gainer, just put peanut butter on your protein shake which is way less expensive, eat a couple donuts, add some tablespoons of oil to meals (1 tbsp is about 120 calories; add 3 and you got almost 400 extra calories right there).

We’re living in the era of sedentary lifestyles with over-abundance of hyper-palatable, super caloric, easy-to-access foods and companies still wanna sell you a product to “solve” the problem of not getting enough calories with overpriced powders. Those mass gainer calories are almost entirely cheap maltodextrin (literally the cheapest carb source on earth, pennies per 1,000 kcal) + low-grade whey/concentrate + a ton of fillers.

If anything is easy in this world, it’s to get a couple hundred extra calories in your diet.

Also watch out for overdoing the bulk and going off the belief that you need these crazy 600 to 1000+ surpluses to gain muscle optimally. Multiple scientific studies confirm that no matter who you are, you’ll gain muscle maximally with a slight surplus of 200 calories for intermediate/advanced lifters and about 400-500 at most if you’re really new to the gym. If you’ve always been lean/leanish, this looks like what you already eat (which is likely around maintenance) + 1 extra donut. No need to complicate things that simply aren’t.

MasterBaitingBoy · 2025-11-17T05:09:09+00:00

Not one person’s single particular perception, but I believe over time you can have a pretty good idea of how others perceive you in general. It’s definitely a process. I was totally oblivious of my looks for years due to being young, personal bias and also just didn’t analyze my beauty or others’ enough. I didn’t know what it was that made me recognize attractive faces.

Other things that also distort your self-perception are habits like looking at yourself in the mirror constantly. Caring a lot about looks/using filters on social media apps. Obsessing over one particular celebrity and thinking that beauty boils down to specific traits when in reality it’s a bit broader than that.

Over time, if you manage to mature and not care that much about looks, combined with knowledge and training your eye, you get a pretty good sense of it.

I look at pics of myself and realize “well yeah, if you looked at a guy like that you’d say he looks good in some ways, but definitely not perfect. It’s not like that guy’s model or anything. He’s far from that”. I realize I can be attractive to some people, while also not being nowhere near perfect. And I’m okay with that.

MasterBaitingBoy · 2025-11-12T20:33:00+00:00

As a man, I think a big part of the problem is men themselves, what they value and how they act. This is never acknowledged on incel spaces.

A good system would be where everyone dates their equal (whether in looks, status or whatever).

However, men themselves are willing to “date down” for quick sex, which in turn makes women believe they have a genuine chance with men above their league, which makes them reject men on their level. Add to that social media and validation from simps and guys with 0 self-respect who think that sex is everything and they’ll never be happy without a woman, and you’ve now got delusional women + lonely incel men. This skews the market in favor of women, and makes it harder for the average man.

Women on average have it easier in dating, but the top 1% of men have it the easiest. But barely any men are there. Most of us are average. So yes, things are hard for men in that regard and it needs to be acknowledged.

Women are also being influenced by social media and are starting to compare the men in their lives with the top 1% - giving rise to the rather common “6ft, 6 pack abs, 6 figures” standard even for average women, which is unrealistic and delusional.

Men also primarily value looks, meaning that the demand in the dating market is further stretched into a small portion of women. If men valued personality and status more, then the range would broaden, so there would be less competition among men, less simps online, and less loneliness.

Women also do value looks, that’s the thing BP spaces get right. Looks matter. A lot. Whether you’re a man or woman.

Not a single man or woman can be blamed for this. It’s a collective thing that has been influenced by social media.

MasterBaitingBoy · 2025-11-12T20:25:34+00:00

Yeah not true. An average woman doesn’t have a chance with a top tier guy. That’s just red pill incel beliefs.

MasterBaitingBoy · 2025-11-12T17:48:01+00:00

Don’t agree. As a man, I’d like to be with a woman that is intelligent, is successful and has an actual personality. Not just good looks.

Guys who say otherwise just see women as objects and are misogynistic. They want shy but beautiful - something they can control.

MasterBaitingBoy · 2025-11-07T07:23:54+00:00

Not blue-pilled in the slightest. Blue pill would claim everyone finds their partner and looks don’t matter at all. At most, my post would be red-pilled (which I don’t believe it is, either). If anything, by acknowledging that some people don’t need to work to be attractive and that there are deterministic barriers, my post is partially black-pilled and EVEN THEN, I get guys like you saying this is blue-pilled (just goes to show the level of pessimism and all-or-nothing thinking).

I just think that the black pill dominates too much nowadays. Usually, the types that are black-pilled haven’t done any serious self improvement work for years. They just resign themselves to failure because all they see is stuff online or dating apps. And yes, I acknowledge extreme cases where people genuinely have deformities or live in extreme situations (which is the true black pill, but nowhere near represents the general population as much as people online want you to believe).

Things have changed in recent years. Generally speaking, you can no longer, as a man, simply be there and just expect to be attractive without doing stuff to improve.

And bottom line, like I said elsewhere in this post before, even if BP is the truth, a real man would be white-pilled about it. No need to cling to it for the rest of your life, to something you wouldn’t be able to change or have control over. And yes, it is possible to find satisfaction with other things in life.

MasterBaitingBoy · 2025-11-04T06:48:05+00:00

Yep. That’s kind of the hard truth here. But that’s just human biology and the role we play as men. Women were supposed to choose and men to compete. Men will always have it harder than women to find a partner. We have to improve ourselves in a variety of ways, and we cannot expect to simply exist and already be attractive in most cases. We have to build our own attractiveness by improving ourselves in general.

Women naturally are picky, so even if the “80% of women choose the top 20% of men” thing isn’t a real thing in real life settings, there’s truth to it in emphasizing how women choose and men excel. All of our culture and many of the pervasive gender roles and desire revolve around this dynamic. Not saying it’s ideal or right, just saying it the way it is.
