So, you're 5 foot 4 and walking down the street. You see man after man taller than you and feel nothing but beta. Women wouldn't dare date a man shorter and unable to defend her Time and time again studies have proven that being taller is an advantage, I'm not here to prove that to you I'm to help you get there.
The following ways to improve your height will be divided into the difficulty to obtain the improvement:
Easy
Medium
Hard
Improving your posture
This is as simple as putting your shoulders back and raising your head upward. Confidence is key in this. Carrying yourself tall can help you gain as much as an inch or even two if your posture was terrible to begin with. This will require some drilling into your mind to make sure that it is done on a daily basis. Spending hours on end on your computer slumped over will only hinder this process so make sure you sit up straight and stand up every so often to stretch.

Potential height gain
0.5-2 inches
Wearing vertically striped clothes
This is more of a psychological technique than an improvement of actual height but nonetheless makes you appear taller [https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3485773/]. The study conducted by Helmholtz hypothesizes that a figure will appear differently due to the brains reactions to "psychometric functions".

" Shoe lifts offer a mean to extend one's height from the base of their shoe in a covert fashion that isn't obvious.

Fitted and upmarket clothing

Height Surgery
