For those of you who desperately need to look taller quickly, there is a solution. Firstly, let's look at why might you need a quick fix to look taller? There could be a number of reasons, but usually it's one of the following three...

Your due to attend a party surrounded by tall guys

You going to a wedding and your worried that on all the photos you will appear small

Your going on a date and want to impress

I can see the desperation on your faces now... "cut the crap" your thinking... "just tell me what I got to do".

Well you see the guy in the picture (Josh Cuthbert of UnionJ of the Max Factor, I mean X Factor) - what can you see about him that's different from most guys? (apart from the fact that he's wearing more make up than Maralyn Manson)

His hair gives him another 3 inches / or nearly 8cm. That's just rediculous that someone can look 3 inches taller instantly. You might think to yourself, yeah right, this does not make him look taller, but trust me, it's all implied social awareness. It's proven that people around him will think he is taller than he really is. It's onbe of the best tricks in the book for looking taller quickly / instantly.

It's thought that Josh's advisors requested his stylists to give him this hairstyle known as the 'height booster'. For proof that he is a small guy, look at him before he had his hair professionally styled (he's second from the right). He's only as tall as JJ, on the left of the photo, who happens to be stood on a step at least 6 inches / 15cm lower than him.

Another thing this guy does now, since being advised, is wear shoes with huge soles. Both these techniques combined make Josh look a lot taller than he really is.

But remember guys, there's always a limit to everything before you start looking stupid...

I'm 19 year old male and only stand about 5'6, and yes I know there are people shorter than me but I feel so down because I know most girls prefer taller guys, I've gotton so desperate to get taller that I even stuck things in my shoes in an effort to appear a taller, but it hurts my feet and damaged one of my ankles, but i stll do it! Whenever I walk past and see tall guys with all the girls, I get so ashamed and just want to cover my face, I always compare myself to other people in public, I measure myself every morning hoping that i just had a growth spurt or something, I don't feel like a man but feel like a child, cos if my height, I drink about 6 glasses of milk a day, I have read 100's of questions on how girls prefer taller guys and some of there reasons and things they say like I wouldn't even consider a shorter guy upsets me cos I know I can't change it or have control over it, I also search on google for miracle height growth formulas and excerise's but I don't think they work, please help me, and plz dont tell me to just date shorter girls cos I don't want to be just restricted to shorter girls due to my height, I don't care of they were tall either

I know how you feel I am 5'10.5"(179cm) and I am already 18 years old .Guys at my school are all really tall (6'0"-6'5"). I also go to gym where many of the bigger guys are 6'4"+. I would give anything to just be 2 inches taller.Because of my height I feel insecure, I stand on my toes when talking to friends and look for shoes with big soles when I shop.I can never wear sandals or flat soled shoes because I am afraid of looking small. I measure myself everyday too see if I'd grown but I have gotten the same result everyday for almost a year now.I struggle with confidence because of my height.I am also completely obsessed with height and spend hours daily researching things like height supplements and special cases like people growing after 18 I also often search for celebrity heights.I feel like If I where just taller my life would be different and id be able to talk to girls easily.
