For some reason I never grew taller since middle school but I made peace with it and kept working with what I got and what I can control! Sometime friends and family make jokes but just laugh with them it doesn’t matter.
I'll share this thought and then delete it later because no one will like what I'm about to share.
I am also 5'5" and weigh 135lbs. And I am essentially the same appearance as the handsome fit man in this photo. Bravo to you!
I am the shortest male in my family. For years and years, my family and extended family have all felt it was perfectly okay to tease and mock my height. It was open season on my body.
But I kept in shape; it was the only thing I was in control of, and it comes very naturally to me.
All while I watched all the taller people in my family gain weight and get lazy.
My father would always tease, "You're gonna get fat one day too!"
Even my sister, who is taller than I am, would find it perfectly within reason to mock my height.
So here we are, now with everyone in my family being "chubby" and slow and having no muscle tone and very poor posture.
So now I tell them that if they can make jokes about my height, I will absolutely make jokes about their bodies as well. And I can tell you, they DO NOT like this new arrangement. It shuts everyone up fast.
Here's a note to my fellow short men: stay in shape. It is your ace. As you get older, you will see that health is far more important.
honestly this is so true. although I'm not a man, as a short woman being in shape does you wonders and gives you a better advantage than taller women who are not in shape
*That's a hack guys learn from him- Always wear fitted clothes, especially on your legs and not baggy. + See how exactly his shirt ends,just at upper bottom of waist.(40:60 ) proportion of Upper - lower clothes,will give all shorter bro's a good long legs.Which acts as a illusion of being tall.Like he is 5.5 but looks 5.8
Yall mfs are crazy nobody looks any height standing alone, he doesn’t look 5’8, he doesn’t look 5’5, he doesn’t looks 6’5. You can have long legs or a torso but looking at your body alone without any external reference says nothing about how tall you are
Although if they went back to the old wooden racquets it’s a different game. Rod Laver was only about 5’7 and he used to smash everyone but if he played now I doubt he’d even make the pros let alone be a top player.
I find a lot of guys around this height grow fast and then stop. my mom told me in 6-7th grade “your dad stopped growing at this age” which at that point I was one of the taller kids, definitely taller than most. but I just never ever grew again lmao
I was never one of the taller kids and now still feel short even though I'm a solid 180cm. I'm the 2nd shortest dude in my class and the average height is about 186 Height inflation truly is crazy
Same. Costed me millions at 25 (gambling for LL surgeries. Those same assets I lost would have been retirement money) and world records over the depression I fell into. Will never not be salty about it.
Oh fr damn I might not grow I never grew after stepping in highschool stayed 5'2, ngl I'm okay now it took me 3 years to accept the fact that I'm never growing again
you look 5'8 or 5'9
Good proportions really help
Yeah i'm 5'8'' he looks like me or taller, probably the proportions and the angle

not to mention the short celebrities whom are in shape look 10x better than the average/tall man

I mean I do wear slightly oversized or baggy jeans/pant but never feel much difference in proportions after being 5.5
Then probably not oversized shirts,which hide crotch area?
Like tshirt or shirts shouldn't be very long, if it's slightly long but with korean pants it's goes well in proportions

Bigger head often means shorter person, even proportions help in his case
Dude you got such good proportions
How's your dating life
I love the picture, is photography a hobby of yours? You seem really good at it
Bro...You look amazing!
What´s your workout routine?
Sliming down helps you look taller
[removed]
Probably not smashing down too many aces then.

Weight ?
I would guess about 135 lbs
Nice pic

Looking great

Same. Stopped growing when I was 12 and have been 5’5” 140 pounds my whole life.
You look similar to me. Maybe a bit thinner. I don’t mind being short.
I mean your fit and look good why are you worried
i heard that shorter ppl die later than taller one.Wy grandpa was 152cm lived in colonial era and he died when he was 80
