look at this guy ,he is just 5 ft 11 and looked pretty tall!

For obvious reasons.

Meanwhile, this guy is also 5'11 and looks pretty short.



Seems to me like neck, chest length and torso width are the holy grail in not having that boxy manlet look.

That's because 5'11" IS pretty tall lol. You're above average height for any type of male in USA if you're 5'11"

Let's also not play for the other side the coin here.

He doesn't look short. He just gives off an appearance of weakness. You can just look at his legs and tell he's not short.

Tall but ugly. He is so skinny that even if he was 2 inches shorter he would still look tall. The scrawny ugly type of tall, the one that even women find unattractive.

Yep, some people aren't born with the frame they just have the height. Even if he lifted alot he's still very narrow and genetics can't be changed. That's why we have to constantly remind ourselves that LL won't fix everything.

Right.
My point is that height is not everything. That man would be better if he was more muscular even if he seemed a little shorter. That scrawny look, although it makes you appear taller, is completely unattractive and for women, being so thin is about as unattractive as being short.

To have an attractive body you should not only have to be above average height (or close to that) but you should have a manly body too.

I can understand where you're coming from, thinking he might appear short and I think it's because his melon is kind of big. Especially in a photo where there's nobody else to make comparisons/references to, a big head might give the illusion that he  is shorter.

As with not wanting a boxy look, being skinny/thin isn't the only way to go. Look into golden age bodybuilders. Again, especially when you don't have another person to compare to right to you, you can appear taller based on your proportions and a lot of the golden age bodybuilders I would say were good at giving that illusion, small traps, big delts, wide lats, small waist and decent legs, exaggerates and makes everything appear bigger as you look upwards.


SIDE NOTE

Every UFC champion currently bar Robert Whitaker (middleweight, 185lbs) is under 6' tall and he himself is 6'0 flat at best.

Friend is not just athletic women like. ahahahhha
make no mistake, I like the fitness life
but there are many normal skinny people who are fine with it,
and there are women even abominate very strong guys.
