recent interview<\/a> with YouTuber Jack Neel, the looksmaxxing teen outlined how he is \u201cseriously considering\u201d spending $100,000 on \u201climb lengthening\u201d surgery to increase his height from 6\u20192 to 6\u20196.<\/p>\nJustifying this, he said that exceptionally tall people have a \u201cpresence\u201d which makes them more attractive.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve always valued presence super highly \u2013 if you walk into a room, people notice, right?\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you\u2019re standing in the middle of a club, you\u2019re an outlier.\u201d<\/p>\n
He said that while his current height of 6\u20192 is already taller than average, \u201cthat\u2019s only in the 91st percentile\u201d of men\u2019s heights globally, whereas 6\u20196 is in the 99th percentile.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m someone who wants to be the best, and I\u2019m willing to do whatever it takes to get there,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
GOING TO BE INCAPACITATED FOR A YEAR<\/p>\n
He noted that after receiving the surgery, he would have to be \u201cout of work for six months to a year.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re going to be hospitalised for the first 3 weeks,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re pretty much immobile for the first 3 months, and for the next 3 months after that, you\u2019re really not going to be able to walk without crutches.\u201d<\/p>\n
He said it was a \u201ctreacherous\u201d and \u201cpainful\u201d surgery that involves breaking one\u2019s legs at the femur and the lower leg, and then wearing a device that slowly help the bone to fuse back together longer under \u201cthe supervision of doctors.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe know tall is good,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe know that every single inch you grow past six foot, you\u2019re adding an additional $500 to your average annual income in America. So, we know that taller is better.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201c\u2026We\u2019ll see women [on dating apps] put their height filters on 6\u20193. And then you look at the percentiles and think \u2018You just eliminated 95% of men right off the bat with one metric.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
HE IS ON \u201cCRYSTAL METH\u201d TO LOSE WEIGHT<\/p>\n
He went on to state that he is also on \u201ccrystal meth\u201d to help himself lose weight.<\/p>\n
\u201cI use crystal meth \u2013 methamphetamine \u2013 as a stimulant, and to lean max,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s very suppressant of your appetite it\u2019s a very long acting stimulant, so this is something that I\u2019ve started using in place of adderall.\u201d<\/p>\n
He explained that he was not using \u201cstreet meth\u201d, but \u201cvery, very low therapeutic dosages of D-methamphetamine, which is actually something that\u2019s prescribed by doctors.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd I\u2019m taking a very low dose of this, like 10 times lower than the prescribed amount, just as a a mild stimulant. It\u2019s much more mild than adderall actually,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
BEEN ON STEROIDS SINCE HE WAS 14<\/p>\n
He also explained how he has been on steroids since the age of 14.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have always had the mentality that if something is going to get you to your goal quicker, then why not go for it, right?\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201c\u2026I was like, \u2018I\u2019m going to get my physique going as quickly as possible. I do not care
about side effects, I don\u2019t care about any implications of \u2018uh oh, this guy\u2019s using drugs\u2019 \u2013 like none of that shit really phased me. I just wanted to get to my goals as efficiently as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n
He said he doesn\u2019t think he\u2019ll ever stop taking steroids.<\/p>\n
\u201cBONE SMASHING\u201d TO ACHIEVE HIGH CHEEKBONES<\/p>\n
During the 1 hour and 40 minute interview, he explained how he engages in \u201cbone-smashing\u201d, wherein before a night out, he intentionally bruises his cheekbones, causing swelling in his face. He then covers the redness with makeup, leaving his cheekbones higher.<\/p>\n
\u201cI could send you some pictures of how I look after a really hard session of bone smashing, and you might find it a little scary,\u201d he said, adding that he has to lie in bed when doing it to prevent giving himself a concussion.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you\u2019re not well-braced, things can go wrong and it can be horrible,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Outlining his philosophy, he said that he is not interested in \u201clongevity\u201d or worried about his long-term health, focusing only on his quality of life now.<\/p>\n
CONTROVERSIAL APPROACH<\/p>\n
His tactics have been met with controversy online, with social media users criticising his choices harshly.<\/p>\n
\u201cEasy to dismiss longevity at 19,\u201d said one user.<\/p>\n
\u201cConsequences feel invisible until they\u2019re not\u2026seeing a kid talking so confidently about shit that\u2019s going to bite him in the ass later is so sad.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve become so shallow as a society,\u201d said another.<\/p>\n
\u201cSocial media has doomed us.\u201d<\/p>\n
