I'm curious as to how these girls define "short", especially after seeing this tweet:
Ms.Chairdeline @Sheeprise
"Hates short guys. =_= even though they are taller A BIT. I want a 170cm tall guy"
170cm = 5'5.7.", or about 5 foot 6.
This one has more stringent standards.
•Taylar• @GetEmTayy
"Guys under 5'7<<< wat the fuck can your short ass do???"
This one even more so:
JASMINE @jasminex3
"Short guys <<< you need to be at least 5'8 & up.. "
And this one is the strictest yet:
Gabby Bieber @GaBeeVee
"@Amazing_Kristin: If I was a guy I'd wanna be 5'10+ lol Guys just aren't suppose to be short to me...
So I 100% agree height in the long-term sense isn't shit but like most extreme comments this needs to be caveated.
I am 5'9.5" inches to be exact. This puts me dead center of average height for America there for i do not get a height bump nor do i get a height minus. Roughly speaking if you are 5'8 to 5'10) no change, sub this range and you are starting to be called short.
In terms of height being a "bonus" you need to hit ~6' 1". I believe MIXX had a post on this and I've found 6'1" to be the sweet spot. Unless you have veteran level game I would actually encourage cheating once and while if you're in a rut (intermediate). What you do is use socks in your shoes (holler at old school dudes who used to wear basketball shoes with 15 pairs of socks to fit in their hand me downs!). Anyway, you can simply use this to get your foot to mold and add up a few inches. All it really does is get you some more eye contact and make more women approachable.
Long-term this is a waste of time as you should actually adopt the ego-less player approach (fearless) and simply talk up every cute girl you see.
Anyway pretty long rant, but basically the jist is this:
1. Vet player - Height ain't shit
2. Intermediate - Use lifts to get out of ruts if you're in one
3. Beginner - Probably best to avoid unhealthy boosters like walking in lifts since you'll rely on it in the future and you will damage your self esteem.
I have no shame in saying that I lift it up when I haven't gotten laid in a few weeks. But that of course is slowly changing so I use them maybe 2-3 times a year. If i started from the get go with them... i'd probably fuck up my Achilles and rely on it.
