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?

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

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:

"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

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"
"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

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.
