Try working out?
Hah, John Daly. I went to school with that kid.
 
I like messing with Photoshop so I threw this quickie out:

I kinda suck at Photoshop and hairstyles, so... yeah.

Honestly, I think you look fine the way you are, and the young look can lead to some good things, like, for instance, a friend of mine, after the Wii Launch at Toys R Us, was waiting for the store to open to buy it before it sold out, and the manager of the store saw him and let him in and promised him the last copy of Twilight Princess and a Wii for when he went back there later.

Also, girls call him cute a lot.

Edit: Oh my this thread moved real fast.

The problem is his hair style.

Cut it much shorter and do something like spikes.

Spikes? Really?

Then I can go around to people and say, "Check out my new fucking hair cut".

Truth. Go for the clean shaven look, it'll make you look younger but you can make up for that in other ways. Not everyone can grow a rockin' beard (like me :()


This is so true.

I recently went from looking like I was 40+ apparently :lol to looking like I'm 16 (I'm in my twenties) and facial hair makes a huge world of difference. If it takes a while just do what you can, whether it be a stache, goatee or side chops

Alot of good advice here
 
I'm just going to echo what everyone else is saying. Basically, stop looking like a basement-dwelling nerdlinger that surfs 4chan all day.

Get off GAF. Immediately. Go outside. Get a god damn haircut. EAT. Start taking better care of yourself so you don't look like a pathetic slob. If you actually make an effort to take better care of yourself, then you won't feel that you look like an adolescent anymore.

I'm 5'6"". I basically had no muscle before, could only bench about 40 pounds. Now I can bench about 60 (not max, how much I work out with, you know 3 sets and all).

Side question - do you think I could do a reasonable job of cutting my own hair in some areas, such as the back and sides?



I drink soda about once a month now, but I drink a lot of water instead.

don't try cutting your own hair. i really suggest you go somewhere and get it professionally cut. not great clips either (if you are in the US). you have wavy hair, which is perfect for a short, waxed/gelled look. doesn't even have to be "short" - you can pull off medium length hair. think james franco/that guy from twilight.

keep benching. if you eat right and keep at it you'll be benching 3x what you do now in less than a year.

That's really good.

I just suggested milk since you said you were trying to gain weight. That's the best way to go, along with weight lifting(squats). Anyway, good luck with it.

I was only going to cut the back, so it could at least look shorter with some gel.

I was just going to bail out but damn look at that stat. I had to keep it going.

edit: bah, must have been a server fluke. Views went from 115 to 2460 in a few seconds.

OP: Get your hair cut like this, put on weight, and buy shirts with a trim fit. Order XS shirts from the Gap (only sold online) and they should fit your build fine.

But most importantly, put on some weight! :lol I'm 5'7" and 140 lbs. and I feel pretty skinny. It's not a very healthy option, but you can buy 2200 calorie shake mix from GNC.

The more healthy option would just be to eat a lot of (healthy) food. Drink a lot of milk.

i think you need a complete hair overhaul, TBH. your haircut now is very freshman in high school, who typically happen to be 14 years old.

short doesn't mean younger if it is styled properly.
 
Your haircut really IS the key to looking older. You have to go for a clean style, that speaks of maturity and wisdom and makes people think you're an efficient, straight-forward young adult who knows what he wants and all that shit.

Perfect example of a haircut done right:

But seriously. Who cares. When you are 45 and all your friends are starting to look old, and you are still getting 28 year old poon I doubt you will mind.

This.

Also, brother?
140 (or did it go to 145?) and 5'7 is exactly me. I usually wear small or medium shirts because they fit nicely and usually buy from American Eagle or the such. Also, hats help ALOT for some reason. Not caps, nice hats, fedoras, Newsboy caps and the such.

These are a godsend for us young lookers.
 
Hey OP, don't worry about it... there are a lot of people I see in their early 20's that look like teenagers all the time.

I often feel and don't look my age, and I've had some people confuse me for much much younger. At times I find that a compliment but at times it can be annoying too. But you're not the only one man don't worry about it.

If you want to look like some hipster tool, yeah.

I guess?
Depends on how you dress as well. If you go out with a fluorescent scarf, a pink shirt, slip on vans and overpriced jeans then sure you will. If you wear a reasonable pair of jeans, a nice button up shirt (striped works wonders) and a dark colored hat then you'll look great.
Or maybe that's just me *shrug*
My girl doesnt complain so Whatevs.

And trust me I'd rather be thought of as a hipster tool from you then thought of as a 16 year old trying to talk to them by the ladies :D

Totally, bro. Everyone needs to be doing the same thing out there on the streets if they want to get respect from me when I'm on the internet.
 
ianp622 said:
Oh yeah, forgot to mention I'm 115 pounds. I can't really gain weight even if I try. I'm hoping the weightlifting might help, but the most I've gotten from that in the past is 5 pounds (only a month or two).
eat those bars they give people at the hospital to gain weight kinda like the bars they give that cunt in mean girls

My girlfriend forced me to try on a bowler hat at a department store and I thought I looked like a tool. She thought I looked fantastic. Then again, she's Korean, and Korean women prefer their men super-stylish.

Maybe tool ain't the right word. I just think I look terrible in any hat, period.
