    This is a topic that's been on my mind for a long time now and it's very close to my heart as I've seen way too many people box themselves in a particular style because of their height or size. If you relate to this, I hope this video brings you some perspective on the subject. Just my two cents :) Love all of you short kings and queens.

      There are more out there, it's just that the toxic ones are the more visible ones. Daniel Simmons, Gallucks, Sangiev, and sicckm8 are some other examples of male fashion youtubers that don't exploit insecurities (or at least not intentionally), and most of them also focus a bit more on dressing for self-expression rather than dressing to impress women (though I'd think self-expression will impress the women or men that are more likely to be compatible with you)
      Also, for fashion memes, Frugal Aesthetic is pretty fun (and some of his older videos are also informative).
      Edit: lol I need to practice writing shorter sentences.

Your height might not come from your dad or mum, but from one of your ancestors from many years ago. If you want to find out if you'll still get taller, get an x ray to see the growth plates in your hands. You can take the x ray to specialist to see your bone age. Mine is 18 and 6 months so I'm pretty much done. If you're unlucky, you'll be my height for the rest of your life. If you're lucky, you'll grow a bit into your early 20s depending on your bone age.

    It isn't really as much to do with height as it is with proportions. If you understand your deficits, proportion wise, you can dress in ways that minimize the negatives.
    Lots of tall people are way out of proportion, and their height is mainly in their legs. Others' height is in their torsos.
    Bringing the two into a proper proportional relationship will go a long way towards making you appear taller.

    Sincerely, thank you mate.
    I am a short man that loves Gotch/Punk/metal fashion/outfits, and when it comes to certain pieces of clothing or items people often tell me I should not wear them as they make me look shorter. And I am like, so what? It is not like you and I or anybody else does not know I am actually shorter than most people so why should I care to deceive people? I just want to dress to express myself and feel confident as I actually like what I am wearing instead of dressing what I am supposed to wear in order to have approval.
    I thank you again for telling us we can rock any kind of outfits as the most important thing is to express yourself and feel strong and confident with your outift.

    I’m 6’2 and now just scratching 190 pounds, used to be 40 pounds lighter at the same height 6-7 years ago, and I had my own brand of intense insecurity and body dismorphia with that. I even cursed how my height accentuated how thin I was.
    Despite never having felt insecure about my height alone, I feel a lot in common with short men- y’all are really leading the conversation on men’s body image issues, and that helps all men, including me.
    I hope anyone who reads this feels confident and secure in their unique expression of whatever gender they identify with.

I've always tried to avoid those rules but deep down i was scared of not following them. But this video has encouraged me to stop giving a f*ck and wearing what i want, i'll probably grow a little taller maybe to 5"3, but I'm gonna do whatever i want.

Recently I’ve just allowed myself to dress how I want, even if it doesn’t strictly help me look taller or minimize my hips. It’s helped me feel a lot better about my clothing choices.

    I'm not quite a short man, but I can relate to the point of this video from another perspective.
    I'm really bald, my hair loss began earlier than most men. So I dressed and presented myself in ways that gave off the illusion of having more hair. That presentation of wishing for something you don't have, it gave off an insecure vibe. People could definitely feel that vibe even if they couldn't see my receding hairline.
    But as soon as I gave up wishing for something I'm not, and just shaved all hair off.... Ooh the freedom and joy!

    I remember not being insecure about my 5'5" height as a male at all. Then this girl that I really liked chose another guy who is so much taller than me and my confidence really went downhill from there (and they didn't even last for 6 months. funny). Knowing that my height is the sole reason for that, I pretty much hated everything that paints taller people as better than anyone, like fashion and sports.
    Getting employed really opened my eyes towards a bigger group of people. I had colleagues who are as tall as me who has that confidence to look and dress really good. If they can pull it off, when why can't I?
    It is definitely tiring to be a self-hating maggot at the time where I should be peaking in life.
    I realized that there may be a lot of people that will look down at me but that doesn't mean that I will look down at myself too.
    This is def one of those vids that really addressed my identity as a short dude where I didn't perceive it as something negative, but something that I should cherish, and something to be proud of.
