As a 5’5 man myself, I’ve found that fixing your posture and hitting the gym makes you feel and look taller which infinitely boost confidence. If you’re short, don’t make it worse by slouching when you stand and walk.
100% agreed!
This is so true!
I am 5'4 and a little bit stocky build with short body cause im asian. Im 22 and i have lack of goddamn confidence at myself bcause all of clothes polo or shirts doesnt fit my body fuck it i dont know how to pick proper shirts
At 5'4 I don't think you'll ever find anything that fits you normally. You pretty much have to tailor everything.
@@akalion213 He said he is asian the average Asian is 4-5 inches shorter in some places in Asia 6-7 inches shorter in the national average in the US so it naturally means his country is fitted to supply shorter people unless he lives in the US.
When you're 5'6 or even 5'2, keep in mind there's a shorter guy who feels worse about it than you do. Be humble, height isn't everything. Don't surround yourself with people who think it does matter
Wise words!
@Major PainDiaz It really isn't. Sure height will boost your chances... but there's plenty of women who don't need a 6 foot 3 man to date. The people who only about height are the ones you should avoid
@Major PainDiaz - That's an overgeneralization. I was 5'8" and my wife is 5'10". She never thought that she would date a shorter guy, let alone marry one. And she was being pursued by star college basketball players (including two who went pro). But I was pretty confident in myself and how we seemed to be a good pair.
Twenty-five years and two children later, I don't think either of us has any regrets. I know that I don't. I don't think that I would've survived cancer without her. I think about how important she is to my life several times each day.
In any case, you're not going to make yourself taller. So, it's better to accept your height and take pride in important things, like your character and your achievements. If someone doesn't want to be with you because of your height, oh well. There are billions of other people, and all of them aren't that shallow or won't remain that shallow.
@@Wonder7771 - True. If height were everything, there would be a lot less short people because only taller men would be reproducing.
By the way, I'm 5'3" or 5'4" now, after all of the fractures from the cancer (vertebrae, sternum, ribs, and neck). That has been a much bigger adjustment than growing up short. Being short didn't really bother me at all beforehand. At most, it played into me embracing being known as a big hitter in football (a bit of "Little Man Syndrome").
But now I'm shorter than people I've known for years, I can't reach things in my house, my casual button up shirts are too long to leave untucked, and none of my ties fit. My suits still fit pretty well, but my right shoulder is lower than my left now. So, I don't fill out the right shoulder of my suits.
But I can't change my height. And I'd rather be 5'3" and alive than a 5'8" corpse. To me, life is about trying to make the most of the circumstances you're presented with. That may sound cheesy, but I still think it's a good approach.
My husband is 5’2”. When we met he made a short joke about himself while flirting and then proceeded to take me out on a date 10 min later. Look sharp, be humble, have confidence, and people will look past any judgements and appreciate you for who you are
Love hearing that! Your husband seems like an awesome guy 😊
What important is how tall are you tho?
@@Bonbon45629 5'3"
Helen im 5'2 too but i do take care of myself. I train 5 days a week and maintain a healthy lifestyle. If u know any girl who doesnt mind being with a short guy please let me know. Thanks
Helen so rude!

Tim, can you edit all of my videos too? Thanks in advance ;) ... Seriously, thanks for having me on the channel and making me look cool! It was fun hanging with you.
To anyone watching, feel free to ask questions (reply to this comment...I'll be checking).
Haha it was a pleasure creating with you man! We gotta do this again 🙂
Hey Brock! Have been your supporter since day one. Kudos to you for teaming up with Tim and giving us some dope tips.
@@siddheshmisale3904 thanks for the support, my friend!
@@BrockMcGoff Dude, both of you are looking fine in this vid. Love the long hair.
Hey Brock , what is the watch and that awesome braclet you were wearing?

Tim Dessaint - keep up the awesome work, Tim! Great things are gonna happen this year!
Thank you for your support! Means a lot!
@@efrenalmaguer777 I'm from the future and........
Wait, 5'6" is short?
I'm a 5'0" guy. Damn.
It's nothing you can change so just embrace it however you can
But you save money on clothes cos you can shop in the children’s shops, like GAP kids
Sorry to hear bro
@@simongill4715 😂😂
@Common Folks oh,how much taller can it make you?
He's 34? damn some of us short dudes age like fine wine :)
Haha we sure do! 😅
Silver Man honestly, I think he looks older than he is. Still handsome though
because you all have the bodies of 10 year olds and non-black people age like milk!

“ On one condition, you gotta make me look really cool with some cinematic b roll and slow mo in lo-fi hiphop “ 😂😂😂
Nice to view the teamwork between you and Brock. At 175 cm/5' 9", I'm neither tall nor short, but the advice about low contrast outfits and making certain your clothes fit properly is very valid. Also, as another individual commented, a great looking turtleneck--turtlenecks/mock turtlenecks are my favourites for cooler weather and to wear when travelling.
Glad you enjoyed it! Turtlenecks are definitely a mainstay for me as well 👌
Boet 5ft9 is the best height in bodybuilding next to 5ft10"
@@nelsonbenjamin4754 damn I feel happy now thanks!
I am 5'9" bare foot too and i think im short 😢
@@josegalligani1061 The media would have you believe anything under 6ft. The amount of celebrities that state 6ft when they are 5'9" is astounding but it's because they have stylists and tailors. Anyway in my opinion Frank Zane was the best proportioned bodybuilder of all time and he was 175cm (5'9").
Focus on what you can control.
Best piece of advice I've ever heard. Thank you so much guys.
You two guys are my favorite out there. I love both your aesthetics so much. Keep doing more cool collabs!
Thank you Siddhesh! Glad you enjoyed it 😊
This definitely relates so much to me since I have this typical asian height. Thanks, Tim and Brock!
Brock’s channel really helped me a lot. Great collab, Tim! Love it! 👍🏻
Glad to hear you found it helpful Dave! Much love!
Amazing collaboration, I love seeing you get out there and working with more people! The video is great, as always, and I can feel you getting closer to the explosion! It’s only a matter of time! Here’s to 44 thousand, and a few million more!
Thanks Evan! Glad you enjoyed this one 😊 Happy Wednesday (or Thursday)!
I admire both of your work! I'm tall guy, but I can empathize with your past insecurities of being short. I have an insecurity with weight, and have been trying to improve my style to combat that! Watching both of your channels has really helped me!
Thank you very much! Style is definitely a big confidence boost no matter what insecurity you're dealing with. Stay awesome man 👌🙂
I'm 5'3", and shit it's tough. 😂
Like obviously you should embrace it, but I get that in the real world-- and sometimes unfortunately with women-- it's not quite so easy. If you want to just look a little taller in _particular_ social situations, you could always get a sharp pair of boots like Thursday Boot Co Captains (or other another slim profile boot, avoid big toe boxes since they can look like clown shoes), and some Kalevel height increase insoles, and you could look 5'6" easily, and then you'd at least be able to be taller than a lot more girls at parties and stuff. They also have a 2.75" boost one, so you could legit be like 5'7.5"ish or something.
I don't think there's any shame in it for things like that. It's not really any different than girls wearing makeup and the like. Hope it doesn't come across the wrong way.
@@VinylUnboxings damn you nice
@@mapuangames5847 lol thanks
try buying asian clothes
Me too
It's awesome to see how much of a confidence boost this is for a short person...lovely brother both of you...kevin would be proud!!!!❤❤❤❤
For sure! Style can be a huge boost for your confidence. Glad you enjoyed the video!
The biggest problem shorter guys have about being short is having a problem about being short. I'm 5'6" and gave up long ago caring about how tall I am. Throughout the years, I've known loads of guys - including those in my own family - who are just obsessed with it. From constantly mentioning how tall everyone is in comparison, to the 'self-deprecating' jokes they tell, it becomes a real drag. It is what it is, and you groaning about it isn't going to change anything.
The basic style guide for anyone should be simple: wear clothes that actually fit. Don't think about ways of tricking people into thinking you're taller. It's just a waste of time, and you'll just be over compensating.
when u r single, it really is a problem because women generally find short guys unattractive and most would just not even consider dating a short man. it becomes less of a problem and just a minor nuisance when u r finally attached with someone.
@@benzpinto At that point just look cold af and have confidence.
@@benzpinto my wife is taller than me. Its all about looking sharp
Benjamin Pinto
Well biology speaking yes... women tend to find a partner who would be their best match for their offspring. That’s why taller and stronger are consider “good” genes for “survival”. But it’s doesn’t have to be that way as you can see in different couples.
I follow Brock a period of time, and now you have a collab video with him, that great man, keep it up
That's awesome! Thank you for your support 🙏
This was such an ill video. Absolutely stellar editing, Tim! Good seeing Brock (The Modest Man) on here!
Thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed it man 🙂
More tips and guides please. You’re style is by far the best of all the male TH-camrs Tim!
I like the intro!
This is a solid video good to see you two in the same video!
Hell, since watching your hair growth tips video I’ve been loving your channel, superb in terms of quality.
Btw fantastic collaboration, keep it up
Thanks Aaron! I appreciate you! 🙏
The cutest crossover/collaboration I've seen today
Edit: 4'1 people where our genetics at?
This is the best TH-cam channel yet that caters a good and interesting fashion trends for short men! Good job guys!
Thanks man! Glad you enjoyed the video 😊
Yay!!! I'm so happy this is a video made for ME!!!
I'm 5'0 and this video really helped me. I find that looking for pants have been the toughest for me as I always have to get them tailored to my size. I'm 21 btw.
“How ya feelin’ today man?”
I feel modest.
Lost opportunity there.
😂
I can't wait until schools start again! I'm a grade above where I should be so I'm short to everyone and these tips could really help me gain some confidence through my choice of clothing.
dude, you're editing job during his fashion show thing was just mindblowing...took everything to the next level! thanks for the awesome content bro :)
Thank you Marcin! Means a lot 🙏
5'6 😅anyone
Yep homie
Sup

5’6 and a half
As a "vertically challenged" dude, I found this video incredibly encouraging. Thanks! I love the wisdom of staying humble.
Glad you found it helpful! 😊
Awesome video Tim! Thanks for the tips, it helps a lot being a short guy myself
Thank you Jose! Glad it brought you value 😊
Tim and Brock! We are proud of you great content.
Thanks a lot Chris! I appreciate you! 🙂
Your photography is always so on point! And awesome tips! I'm a 5'6 female but try and lengthen my body as much as possible with my super short legs and long torso. I'll definitely keep these tips in mind!
High waist pants, and tuck in. 😂
Thanks Abby! Glad you enjoyed the video! Definitely play around with high waisted pants and tucking in your top, anything that elongates your lower half will help 🙂
@@TimDessaint Awesome idea! Thanks for the tip!
I love the casualness of this video, although this doesn't particularly apply to me as I'd consider myself an average height, it was pretty interesting to hear tips for for height streamlining, because I also wish I was a little taller
Glad to hear you got value from the video! I guess we all wish we were a little taller haha 😅
Another banger my guy. There are only about three channels which I automatically watch any new upload: Hueguh, Matt D’Avella, and you. Keep em coming.
Thank you so much Hayden, that really means a lot! 🙏
Love the way you expressed.
Fit, form, and function is my mantra when it comes to dressing. When you dress well with confidence as a short man (5 '5 ), you always stand out.

5’6 here and 17 one of the shortest guys in my year. Have to get used to it and find ways to meet 6 foot expectations
Focus on the things you can control 🙂
At 17(Or 18 by now) you still have a bit left to grow taller.. but regardless. Your height is perfectly ok
Glad to see love for the short people ❤️
You know it! Short bros unite haha
This video helps me a lot , thank you tim !
Glad to hear that man! 😊
Very classy you guys: great tips and great content.

Bold colours is about skin tone, Tim has warmer skin so he's paired well with stronger colour.

Being an asian, being small for me is not an issue, not unless you experienced bullying just like me. But the most issue i face as a short person (5flat 😭) in the environment i am in is your get up or the way you dress up, in the Philippines, being fashionable is too much but with your videos, i feel like, what they say won't matter anymore. Thanks man. I love your fashion and the confidence, you're an artist

Hey Tim, could you do a video on style /outfit tips for people who mostly live in a asian country with warm weather all year round? I have watched your past videos. But found that they were more suitable for cold weather. Thanks for your help. Much appreciated. 👍
Absolutely! I'll be doing more summery outfit videos as we approach June/July 🙂

Great topic! Just wished that camera was able to maintain the focus, I kept looking at the kettle in the back haha.

I agree. I'm 5'4 and go with Zara + H&M; sometimes need to get tailored but that is fine. For me it is definitely about the fit.
