So I'm a 5'3 turbomanlet in an european country. I'm living life on hardmode right now and have no idea how to continue this shit. People don't take me serious, make fun of me and I'm literally invisible for girls (truecel). The rest of my genes are good but I got completely fucked in this one aspect. Going to the gym and stuff like this is not helping anymore because "muh, you are just compensating".
I really want to enjoy life but it is just so fucking hard. Any fellow manlets out there with useful advice on how to proceed? The treatment I get by this society is really dragging me down.
Advice for turbomanlets

It would be the same if you were 6'3". You are an angry desperate whiner, nobody finds that attractive. Look around you, short guys everywhere are slaying pussy except for you, and it's tall lanklets who are permavirgins. You are the literal exception because of your mental issues.

You have worked so hard on your self so that you fit in to multiple stereotypes. This makes you very fragile. The more you try to fit (play by someone elses's rules) you are never going meet their expectations (win). You need to belie in yourself and have to confidence. The next time people try to bring you down either brush it off or put on the biggest boot your have and kick the in the balls. This is how you gain respect. It is positive spiral.
Anthony Baker
You do realize that people act different on an anonymous board than they do in real life? I'm pretty sure most people would describe me as positive and fun, but I still suffer, so what's your point? I never act aggressive or whine.
It is hard to brush people off all day everyday. How are you supposed to be confident when you are constantly mocked? Would also like to know which stereotypes you mean. Don't say short man syndrome because society made me desperate, not the other way around.

>I am the nicest, funniest, most confident guy in real life but it's only on a Vietnamese sock embroidery forum that I act like an angry desperate jerk
We have heard that a million times already. Girls (and guys) can sense your desperation. Your problem is being in denial about how negative you are and the negative vibe you project.
David Rivera
It is hard ... but after a while I will get easy and you wont even care. Right now you suck at this this is why i feels hard.
Confidence is something the comes from the inside out. What people tell you should not be important for you confidence. Think about the things you have achieved. You talked about going to gym. The fact that you took the time to go is an achievement. Another one: The fact that you understand that you have a problem is an achievement.
I don't know what stereotypes you live by but i can see they are there. Some of the signs:
>hardmode
>invisible for girls
>if only i had this one things my life would be awesome.

Your confidence and social skills are probably down the drain. I'm 5'3 living in EE and I have a gf and decent social circle. Talking to people and making conexions isn't hard in any situation unless you have a mental hang up.
Grayson Wood
Lmao did you even read what I wrote? People come to anonymous sites so they can talk about things they could never bring up IRL, and of course they show their darker side. You don't even know me, obviously how you see yourself is often not how others see you. But I spent half my time on reflecting on myself so I would argue I have a pretty good understanding of my actions. I never said that I am confident or some shit because I'm not. But I do have an active social life.
One point I agree on is that girls will sense desperation. But how can you not be desperate when you face statistical truth?
I tried not caring for 19 years. And I personally don't even care about my height. So I can't reach the top of the shelf who gives a fuck. But it is the reaction of society that makes me care. It forces me to care every day.
Regarding confidence, I'm actually convinced of the qualitys I have. As I said, my life is not 100% shit. But then I go out there, thrown into the hell that our society is and it all collapses. I know I should not care what other people say and think. But I feel like thats just a fassade and it's cracking after 19 years of constantly being reminded of that one drawback I cannot change.
Regarding stereotypes
>hardmode
Well, it is hardmode, isn't it? The small amount of research I did on height was already enough to make me depressed. Of course you can still succeed, but it will be really difficult, and that's hardmode in my opinion
>invisible for girls
Might be stereotype but it's also true.
>if only this and that
Yes, it sounds clichee, but I still think it's true. Not saying I everything would be easy but at least it would stop being that bad.
I do have decent social skills, it's not like I'm sitting in my basement 24/7. Confidence is true tho.
I know I'm desperate but I don't want to be. Most of the time I enjoy life but I lost hope in the past few weeks. I cannot keep my head up even though I know I should.
Austin Miller
>statistical truth
You are grasping at straws desperately looking for excuses here. Anything to be able to say you shouldn't try. You literally want to be alone and unwanted.
Landon Allen
Pic related. And that is just one out of many.

> So I can't reach the top of the shelf who gives a fuck.
Nobody, but you don't believe that. Because the moment someone makes a joke you feel like shit. When someone comes to you and tell you overcompensate tell them that they overcompensate for their own daddy issues by picking on the little guy.
You live in the context of the world is shit and their goal if to mock me on my disadvantages. Change the context. Example you also live in a world that you can say what ever you want to who ever you want!
I was just talking about the signs. Those are not the stereotypes, you can fill those gaps in yourself. Ah with hardmode you mean survival mode. You don't make progress when you are surviving ;)
Carter Young
It's not like I can't take a good joke. Because it is not about good jokes. It's not even about jokes. It's about constant low iq mogging. Telling """jokes"""" that every retard has already told me a million times.
I can laugh about myself and I do, if the joke is good. But mogging people is not a joke. For example, comming up with a good joke about someone that has an unattractive face is perfectly fine and funny, if the joke is at least somewhat complex. But you don't run around calling people "fucking ugly", right? Because thats the aquivalent to 80% of the "jokes" I get to hear.
Cameron Nelson
Google "successful short men" and "short men with beautiful wives" and find some other excuse
Tyler Rogers
Like I said you are literally looking for excuses. All statistics show men shorter than 6' are more attractive. But you would rather whine than go outside and get girls.
Michael Cook
Link?
Thomas Nelson
>just be famous bro
Jokes aside, that is indeed some lifefuel. Then again, I never said it was impossible to make it as a manlet, but very hard.
Source on that please.
Grayson Richardson
Luke Jackson
Since I do not have an account, would you mind sharing/quoting the paragraph you are refering to?
Easton Thompson

Your issue is being a desperate faggot. If you were tall you would be saying "I'm ugly" or something to use as an excuse.
Nicholas Stewart
>Well, fellas, worry no more, because a new study has revealed 5ft 8in is the ideal height for a man.
I really don't know what your point is with this article.
Wrong, because I'm not ugly. I am very self aware and my height is the only big downside of my existence.
Samuel Edwards
just use sci-hub.tw
Jonathan Cooper
Thanks.
But after reading it, I really don't see how it doesn't proof my point. It literally says being average height is best and that 5% of females would prefer dating men the same height or shorter.
Mason Mitchell
> being tall does not make you more attractive
Jace Nelson
Yes, but that is not my point. Life doesn't suck because I'm not tall, it sucks because I'm short. And we are not talking "slightly below average" short here.
Cameron Wright
Your life sucks because you are a whiny faggot.
James Williams
Not manlet but advice from what I’ve seen around me:
Confidence is key. Don’t give a fuck about shit. Be chill. Seen this with Asian manlets in the EU scoring the sexiest chicks by just acting like they have nothing to compensate for. Even heard some girls gosipping about said guy he probably has a massive dick.
Shit is you have to believe it though. Can take some time. But ey if some fricking urkel can get a hot date so can you.
Adrian James
I'm also 5'3 abd guess what, got a loving gf, got a good position at work, and I have many many friends, not shallow friend but GREAT friends. AND IM ONLY A SENIOR IN HIGHSCHOOL. FUCK OFF. I WAS LIKE YOU IN 9TH ABD 10TH FUCKING GRADE. DO NOT USE IT AS AN EXCUSE MAN, PLEASE YOU WILL EAT YOURSELF ALIVE. I know you might not care, but lil uzi is 5'3, lil Wayne is 5'3, Kevin hart is 5'2 I believe. Stop ducking making excuses man, I know it's hard, but pretend it's not as big of a deal as it is.
Liam Reyes
You expect us to just take this at face value?
Jace Adams
Take it or dont. Even if it is fake, still dont give up because you can fucking do this man cmon. You said yourself that you have so much to you, but your height weighs you down. I GET IT. I have to compensate so hard, and it works, I adapted and you can too. DUDE I KNOW HOW BAD AND ANNOYING IT IS, BUT PLEASE DO NOT GIVE UP, PLEASE BE AN EXCEPTION. I'm trying my damn hardest to make something of myself and I am on my way. You can too.
Tyler Ramirez
work hard on becoming a military sniper and "lose yourself" in your work so to speak.
Ian James
Sorry to hear about this.
I had never heard the term manlet.
I wish you well, brother.
I’m 5-8 and I have a lawyer buddy who is around 5
Good luck, amigo
Daniel Carter
Fuck off.
Thanks, I will try even though I don't really know how I can get this to work.
Thanks user, appreciate your words and they are one of the few useful contributions here, probably the best posts. I get the feeling that people can never imagine how you struggle as a short male in todays society if they did not experience it themselves. All of the posts calling me a whining faggot when I tried not being one for 19 years. I guess not giving up is the only option that makes sense. It is just so incredibly frustrating knowing the odds are all against you.
I will remember your words whenever I'm struggling. If you have more advice or some concrete techniques/strategies for me, let me now.
Colton Price
Why so angry? Are you one of those bitter virgin lanklets in denial?
