Why do short guys get SO jacked?!?

[BigD50]

Short jacked guys look fat in clothes. I think in the U.S. 5'10 is the average male height, not 5'8. There have been countless studies done on how women view height in a man. Well....if your below average in height you probably don't want to read them or any women magazines for that fact. Even Lee Priest looks small next to a average height and moderate build guy and he is the leader of the swelled up and sawed-off clan.

ok short guys(i am one too) you keep on talking about stealing tall skinny guys girlfriends. but what about the tall guy that is jacked. i have many friends that are over 6'2 and jacked.

Thats what Im sayin!!!!

I know it was joked about before, but I can't STAND people who say every guy who is under 5'10 and works out has a napolean complex. SO many tall skinny people believe that, but maybe...just maybe if they were 6ft+ they would (gasp) STILL workout??? ever think of that?

I know I would rather be 5'8 and jacked, then a 6'4+ rail...really tall guys are nasty, and kind of freaky.


As for mutants, I agree....the <20 crowd is definitely getting bigger, and its not helping us that chicks are wearing BIGGER and BIGGER shoes..now a girl who is like 5'4 stands 5'8 at a club. stupid fake whores

Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. I'm 6'2 290+ right now (hey, I'm in a bulk cycle!). People can tell you're jacked even when you're wearing a coat and baggy pants. If you can be both tall and muscular, then you're a total double-threat. Now I wouldn't want to be much over 6'4 though, because then you're just a carnival freak and life becomes significantly more difficult.
I will admit that shorter guys have it easier I think on things like squats and deadlifts. Those are two of the best exercises, but they both murder my back because of what I have to do when I perform them. Just look at all the champion Olympic powerlifters--how many of them are 6' or more?

Somehow, if a guy uses gear, this would be an unwise criticizm....sets you up for a real bad comeback.

Frankly, height isn't all that matters. It's proven that women are not instinctively drawn to tall men. Frankly, I think they're more interested in if you know how to use what's between your legs abover anything else.

BTW, anyone know what the average arm size is on most guys (bodybuilders)? Getting into the 20+ crowd is hard, and I figure there's a lot of guys who don't come close but still have the respect of any peer.

The average size arm for men is 13 inches...I don't know what it is for BB's. I also had this verified when I tried to take my blood pressure with one of those things at the grocery store with the cuff. I couldn't fit my arm all the way into it, so it closed around my elbow. I read the instructions and it said that it was designed for a "normal person's arm, appoximately 9 to 13 inches". I guess 19 inches was a bit too much! I have to admit I felt pretty ridiculous when it took the blood pressure from my wrist.
Peace,

hitmeoff: bro, hate to disagree, but tall guys do not get more chicks. I'm 5'4", 205.... I hang with bros all taller than me, and sorry but I do more scamming. Sure some chicks will not go for short guys, but all other things being equal your point is not accurate.

Now, I will agree that a guy 6' or taller looks much bigger than a shorter guy will equal amounts of mass. So I'm 205, but some dude who is 6' 220 or 230 (making up for the extra height) will appear bigger and more imposing... ahhh the sad truth of it!!!

[hard as rocks]

im 5-6 205 pounds and never had a problem getting ladies.
sure some are intimdated by my size but others are curious too see what it would be like.
i love those little petite 5-1 girls anyway, so no need to be taller
i guess it does not hurt that i model

D50: How do you figure short, jacked guys look fat in clothes?? I think you need to check out a real man when I get my groove on in the Hamptons and then see if I look fat!!! I recall reading in Maxim a while back, they had a survey of what women look for when they first see a guy. It was like, eyes a nice chest, good built and tehn height. For whatever that is worth

This is a stupid debate anyway... some chicks will like short guys, some tall guys. usually a chick 5' - 5-4, will not like guys 6'+... I prefer the shorter chicks anyway... would I if I were taller, I don't know...

I'm 5'4" and my height has never held me back. I've played all sports, I can lift with anyone, and when I go out and chill I don't get fucked with or intimidated by anyone. If I was 6' maybe I would be a pro bber, but also maybe I wouldn't have the determination that has allowed me to excel in sports, school, work, lifting and scammin on chicks...

So fuck the tall people!!! Just kidding... its all good we are all bros!!!
