What's the point in working out if your short ?

[Anonymous]

The 6'1 guy is still going to be bigger than the muscular 5'8 guy even if the 6'1 guy doesn't work out.

You work out primarily for your own health, confidence, strength and mental benefit. There is no denying that it makes one more attractive and that will always be a consideration. However, I am 5'7 and wouldn't want to be taller or shorter. If any woman wasn't interested due to that, or any other reason I have no issue with it. I love strength training and I will do it always. My next workout is tomorrow and I can't wait.

However, I do not consider my height to be an issue. Perhaps your own thoughts and belief about your height is the issue...

That's a lie it doesn't matter height doesn't matter I've beaten the fuck out of a 6'2 tall big guy (by big I mean fat no offense to no one) he was knocked out for a good 2 mins so working out had nothing to do with height it's how you want your body to look at the end of the day

Fit guys are attractive to woman, even if they are short and it’s usually extremely hard for a tall guy to be as fit as a short guy so you do have an advantage and sensitivity and intelligence matter more than height, cause intelligence never gets old, but sexual desire does not last forever.

Who cares, if you like working out, just work out because you enjoy it. My dad is 5'8, he was even in strongman contests, weight lifting contest he even won too. Did his height bother him? No because he enjoyed lifting weights.

I'm from a different culture and I really don't understand this male height thing, 5'8 isn't even short, most girls are less than 5'7 tall. What's the point? You'll be more healthy physically and mentally, you'll look more attractive, you'll be stronger. If someone rejects you only for your height she isn't for you.

In the West, any man who is under 6'0"/183 cm is considered inferior/worthless/undateable. The one exception is if he's mad rich, but obviously 99.99% of short men aren't multi-millionaires. So if a man's short, women want to have nothing o do with him. They'll literally choose abusers, cheaters, criminals, and psychopaths who are over six feet tall, than to ever be with good-hearted short men. I'm only 180 cm myself, but even without my own personal experience, I could tell you just how harsh women are about this crap.

@MCheetah omg, that's so wrong.

[MCheetah]

I guess, for your health. Working out matters more than to just get women. Although I can't really say much on this; I am short AND I *fucking loathe cardio! I still do it, but I do absolutely HATE it!

[Honesttguy]

Simple reality Mike Tyson was 5'10 and yet he drop couple 6feet trained guys on the ground. So what are you talking about? Looking for excuse to be lazy? Go ahead be lazy and project that out to the world. Your choice to be fat or skinny.

It’s not a race at being bigger. Obviously a taller person stands out better than a shorter one, but working out to achieve good physique appearance and good health is a good thing to do for everyone, short or tall.

[Chris_7565]

I used to work out lots for stamina so that I could have lots of sex.
I never cared what any 6'1 guys were doing with their lives. I was in long relationships doing my own thing.

[TommyMountainFigure]

Actually, it is a well known fact that a guy of 5"8 will live longer than a guy of 6"1, and seeing as I'm 6"2, I work out to stay as healthy as i can for as long as I can!

[MCheetah]

I'd rather have a happy, prosperous life that ends at 50 being 6'2"-6'3",
than a sad, miserable, Forever-Alone life being a pathetic 5'10"-5'11" throwaway human that lives to be 84.

[TommyMountainFigure]

@MCheetah I get that, but I wanna have both.. I want to live a heathy and happy life being tall, AND be around for as long as possible.

[slatyb]

For your health. But it will also make you more attractive to most women. That are plenty of men 5-8 and shorter with beautiful partners. I'm one and I personally know several more.

[exitseven]

Guys that are in shape can seem a lot taller than they are. They stand up straighter and are more confident.

[greentealatte]

Because wouldn't you rather be a muscular short guy than a skinny short guy?

[MCheetah]

That's irrelevant for women. And for some guys, it doesn't make them feel better, as being muscular only draws more attention to how short they are; they'd be more likely to get called a manlet.

[JustinTheGreat]

Cause I can’t change anything about being short but at least I don’t have to be skinny and short

[andreasderjuengere]

What's the point in working out if you're tall?
In both cases: vanity

[Christian65]

compare yourself to yourself. the 6'1 dude will always be shorter than the 6'4 dude.

[Intothevoid666]

Wtf is this? Health, strength, aesthetics the same reason anyone else would workout. This is toxic af

[lofii]

What's the point of going to school of you still don't know by the age of 25 the difference between "your" and "you're"

[Redstang88]

That’s not really true, but whatever
