I just turned 16 last month, and Im still very skinny/scrawny/have no muscle at all. I dont want to work out yet b/c i dont want to stunt my growth. Im just about 5'11 now but everybody in my family are slow growers, and usually reach 6'1, so ive got a bit more growing to do. But being skinny is really affecting my game. I know muscles are important, but i also know that height is really important too (according to my sister its even more important than looks). Any advice?
“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”
Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.
I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.
Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules. Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Height's not important. I'm pretty much fully grown (as in, my doctor said I probably won't grow any more) and I'm only 5' 7" - 5' 8". I occasionally get glances (not contemptuous glances either) from women. I'm not even the best looking guy in my class. I only have a little bit of arm muscle, a lot of thigh muscle, and some chest muscle, but I have a bit of a gut, not much, but a gut nonetheless. Also, lifting weights does not stunt your growth. If you aren't going to grow anymore, like me, then you're just not going to grow. Nothing can drastically influence that. So, don't be down on yourself just because you're skinny and maybe just a bit under average height.

Average height isn't 6' for a full grown male, I don't think. Average is about 5'8" to 5'9".CactusMcDougal said:

Wow, I did not know that. Around 6' 0 - 6' 1 seems to be the average where I live. Maybe the old saying about Texas is true!Mr_rogers said:
It's the same where I live to. I'm 5'9 and 16, but most boys seem to tower over me.
Also, that stuff about weight training stunting your growth is a myth:

Go hit the gym, man!
"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.

and i never felt scrawny until i read your post =(!!

I'm ****ing scrawny myself. 5'11 120 lbs. You can check the Health and Fitness, and over 2 years I've gone from 100 lbs to 120. I hope to gain 30 lbs in the next year.
Being scrawny is a bad thing, but you can stand command respect. I can command respect. I get picked on for my weight, but I'm not someone everyone picks on. I'm not the neighborhood joke. Now as for girls, we're screwed. We just have to fill in. Take Whey, get some weights, and do it. There are plenty of articles here by Warboss Alex that can help you.

Men's fitness is good for the Health Tips and Sex stuff, but as far as working out gos, you might as well look at TNation and lifting forums...they're MUCH better.
Also, this belongs in the "Health and Fitness" forum.
Height isn't too important. Just go for shorter chicks. I'm 5'9 and I love my shorties (4'10-5'5). Works out well for me.

Well blah blah on you Mr. "I weigh more than Evan but i'm 3 inches shorter"
"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

I can only squat around 225 though. I admit, I aint been in the weight room for a while.
I been combining my runs with chin-ups, dips etc (on monkey bars I run across) to keep myself strong until I get the money for a gym
good sub for the poor DJ

That is pretty lame. I'd save up some serious green and buy myself a squat rack, barbell, weights, dumbells and a bench. Thats all you need really. Maybe as you grow financially, add some more stuff.

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
