Can stretches and exercise effect height?
post #1

I read on a blog that doing these regularly can add up to a whole inch on your height, even in your 20s, 30s, and beyond. Anyone every hear of this?

I have heard this too but I think this is only the case if you have VERY bad posture. I mean like back issues and what not.

I have heard of this and know it can make a difference for some people but as Hunter said, I think you have to have a curved spine. You can't stretch your legs any longer, the best you can do is straighten out the spine.

I agree witht his. I mean I can see this being the best case of the height inscrease with stretching. I have heard yoga stretches the spine but it can't be more than like a qtr of an inch.

95/5 Rule In Effect. Pop The Balloon. Latest Episode (15). Analysis

1. Tall lighter-skinned man (this matters in the context of the show's audience) walks in oafishly, like a galoot. None of the women pop their balloons (guy is taller and more built than most of the other contestants, probably around 62'-6'4).

2. Tall guy arrives in a basic t-shirt and cargo shorts (women are notorious for criticizing men for what they wear, they did this to every other person on the show)

3. Tall guy is very indecisive, doesn't say much about his interests or much at all. Says "he likes to play poker" (lol). Says for work he "invests in stocks" and is "getting into content creation" (this could mean he is unemployed or underemployed lol). None of the ladies pop their balloon. (men on the show are often criticized or dismiss for their line of work).

4. Tall guy says he dislikes women who are loud and confrontational. One pops their balloon with hesitation, the others do not. (No one challenges him for being weak and not being able to handle a strong personality).

5. Tall guy compliments most of the women in some way. None are offended (other contestants who show a lot of interest to other women usually pop their balloons)

When do they pop their balloons? WHEN HE ADMITS HE HAS A ROTATION (i.e. he is "shared" by other women, he admits to four being in his rotation).

If he didn't admit this, he would've still had his pick. Go figure. 95/5 on display.

Jealousy seems to effect taller people...

This picture sums up how people act when someone has what they don't. This dude may be on the shorter side but he has the body many men dream of having.
