Here is what I think are the biggest cosmetic defects in men in no particular order.

1. Hair loss-Guys, we have two FDA approved treatments that work; finasteride and minoxidil.  There is no excuse to be bald these days unless you're an old dude who went bald before these treatments were on the market.  No, you don't look like Jason Statham or Vin Diesel, you look like Billy Corgan, Moby, or a cancer patient.  Stop being lazy and actually get on treatment if you have the hair loss gene.  If you get side effects from finasteride, then use RU-58841.  Only about 0.1 percent of men are able to effectively pull off the bald look and even they would look better if they still had hair.

2. Bad teeth-Brush your teeth, floss, get braces if you need them and stop smoking and drinking Mountain Dew all day.  Nothing is more disgusting than rotting, crooked teeth.

3. Acne-Get this under control with Retin-A or accutane if necessary.  What is even worse than acne are acne-scars; get acne-scars and its game over for women.

4. Having a developed upper body and really skinny legs.  Stop thinking legs don't matter when you lift, you look incredibly stupid with your muscular torso and chicken legs.  Stop skipping leg day and when you squat make sure your squat is actually a squat and not a curtsy, that means the crease of the hip has to go below the knee.

5. Dumbo ears-Really stupid looking and correcting it is a very simple surgical procedure.  Your parents should of paid for this surgery when you were still a kid but there is no excuse any longer for you to have these stupid looking ears.

6. Wide hips and fat thighs-makes you look feminine.

7. Really huge dorky Adams apple-get a tracheal shave, it looks stupid watching it bob up and down when you chuckle.

8. Crappy posture, rounded shoulders, forward neck.  I know you love gaming but stop hunching over all day and actually get some exercise.  When you go to the gym don't just do bench press and bicep curls for upper body, make sure you do some pulling exercises so you have good posture.

9. Poverty facial hair-if you can't grow good facial hair its not for you, stay clean shaven.

10. weak jaw-makes you look beta.

11. Being short-Alpha height is 6'2.  If you're under 5'10 that is bad, if you're under 5'8 that is really bad, if you're 5'6 or shorter then that is just pathetic.

What. The. ****. Why the hell is there so many people like you Bunz and The last Krogan around lately?

I'm just trying to have a serious discussion.

I'm shorter than 5'6, but I can manage just fine thank you.

Are you an adult?  You may get lucky and still grow a little if you're under 20.

I dread to think what passes as a stupid discussion for you.

Please don't try to pretend that looks don't matter.  Its not just about attracting women either, everybody including men treat you better when you look better.  Look up the Halo effect, people make judgements about your personality based on how you look.

Looking good means not just a better romantic life, but a better professional and social life.  If you look good your friends will respect you more, you will do better at interviews, you have a better chance of being promoted, looks are extremely important.

[Artichoke]

If you are less than 7' tall then you are clearly a manlet.

I'm 6'0 so I guess its game over for me.

[Inquisitor Recon]

Do none of you really know who this guy is? OP is legendary. None of you can even lift like him.

Well duh. That's just life. I'm just wondering why the **** your posting it in the off topic section of a video game board. You should be on the body builder forums or something.

To be fair, they haven't seen my fitness videos yet.

Here is some enlightenment...

Of course I'm an adult. Don't see why that should be a problem though since my height has never bothered me.
It's not like you grow just a little during that period because you are too pathetic or whimpy to bother to grow any further.
Pretty much everyone in my family are short, it runs in the genes.

Its off-topic discussion so why is this discussion a no go?  I'm posting this here because I'm a gamer and a Bioware fan and this forum happens to have an off-topic forum.

I don't know, its pretty common for women on dating websites to list in their profile "men under 6'0 need not apply."

So if a 5'11 guy is considered too short by a lot of women, I can only imagine how rough it is to be under 5'6.  You'd make a good powerlifter though.  Shorter levels means less torque to overcome resistance, its why a lot of pro-powerlifters are manlets.  You should consider getting into lifting.

I am not Busomjack, I am new here and have never been here before.

[A Crusty Knight Of Colour]

I want to take you seriously Busom, but I believe the entry requirements have increased since you last were around. You need to take a shirtless selfie in a public bathroom now to be considered Alpha on the BSN.

[Inquisitor Recon]

Others have attempted to usurp your place since you last were here, one called thebunz thinks he can lift like you.

[Artichoke]

Well here is a video of me deadlifting 360 lbs for 5 reps.  This was a year ago though and I can deadlift more.  My 1 RM max for the deadlift is 435 which is pretty good considering I weigh 175.



I'm above-average strength but I also have skills in hand to hand combat, wrestling, stealth, and sword fighting during my studies abroad in Eurasia.  The same can't be said for most lifters.

If they want to miss out on someone because of his height, well then it's their loss. Not bother to me though since I'm already in a relationship.

Was never interested in lifting, so I doubt I'll start now. Prefer ball sports instead and I can tell you, I've knocked a few guys twice my size of the ball. They never see that coming.

So you enjoy playing with balls on guys twice your size?

[Nattfare]

Indeed! They make such nice sounds when they get crushed.

That's cool, I'm 17 IRL but even when I play watersports with the older guys they comment about how buff I am.
