I was always very tall in school. Now I'm not in relation to many of my friends.
There's little you can do to downplay it, as the person next to you will always be shorter. But if it doesn't effect you then it shouldn't cause any problems with regards to PU. |

| Beeing tall to women is like big tits to guys.. Try to build some muscle and get a good posture. You're pretty lucky, I'm a tall guy too and proud of it. |

I was in a similar situation when I was your age. What I did at your age was to shop around to see what fitted me and then to see how it effected the appearance of my height. But now that I am a bit older and taller than ya, I learned to get over the lankyness because people are going to expect it when they see someone as tall as you. Plus your 16, you got a couple of years of growing to do.

I was skinny to in high school. But I found that by eating home cook meals and working out some the fat will come, but in muscle form.

| It is quite funny, but Sarging is very very similar to the business world. Eye contact, posture, dress and so on. Well, if you ask anyone in the world of business, when a tall man or women walks into a room, they get attention. So being tall is PU is like its own Peacock device, it gets you noticed. |

| Build muscle as much as possible, It will take alot of the lankyness away. Don't over do it. I know its tough to build muscle as a naturally skinny person, Im somewhat the same way. Remember, looks are not everything. Just move with confidence and swagger and chicks with notice. |

| Dude tall is a good thing, but lanky is not. Just hit the gym like crazy and you'll be alot more confident. |

| Someone up there said exactly what I was thinking. I'm about 6'1" (or 6'2 1/2" by Army measuring tape) and I always had the 'lanky' posture. But I worked out to get a little cut. Don't get thsoe huge Rambo muscles beacuse I think that doesn't work for the tall, lanky kind. Just get some muscles so where it fits your shirts better and your arms cut. I'm sure there are alot of programs/guides online that use push-ups/sit ups to do it. It took me nine weeks of Basic Training to get pretty cut and in great shape. If you want to pick up HBs, you will have to put in some body training. |

Eat eat eat eat.
Then press ups.
Get fat. Seriously.
I was the same. I'm a fitness instructer, I'm telling you, put on weight then put on muscle. |

Wear clothes that fit your body and your taste. I will say at your height you be semi limited in what clothes you can wear as your a bit taller than what most clothing manufacturers make for. So shop around and see what brands fit you. I will say there will be a good number of designer labels that will fit you, but I doubt you want to dish out $xxx for such clothes, let alone wear them especially at your age. If you want I can post what stores I by from and a couple of the designer labels that fit me. Keep in mind as I mention before I am 6'6", which is very different than 6'4" when it comes to clothes.  |
