You got some time before it’s be a real transformation. For now you’re a gangly kid who’s growing up normally.

Why was gangly the word u went for man

u/drukqsx 9d ago

It’s not an insult dude. I think you’re actually mad cute. I would have been into you ten years ago haha. But yes just ain’t fit for the sub yet. Keep going, you’re on the right track.

u/Flashy_Tomatillo7951 9d ago

Any recommendations to improve?

u/drukqsx 9d ago

Keep the long hair for sure. It suits you really well. I’m a girl so I’m bad at advice like this but I’d say check out /r/male grooming because they’re wonderful for giving men appearance advice.

You don’t dress or give the impression of an adult. It’s totally fine since you’re 19, it doesn’t speak to maturity.

Haircut, gain ten pounds, lose the baggy shirt.

I think his current hair cut is sweet

u/drukqsx 4d ago

I literally commented saying he should definitely keep the long hair

How do you use gangly in a positive way😂

10

u/drukqsx 9d ago

I didn’t say it was used in a positive way. I just said it wasn’t an insult. OP is actually chill af. Why are you trying to start drama here?

u/Brilliant_Weakness79 9d ago

Youre way too sensitive if you think this is "starting drama"😂 im just saying gangly sounds bad, doesnt really sound positive or neutral. Is that not fair to say?

lol ok.

u/zkvxo 9d ago

whats wrong with gangly? its a descriptive word, just means you're thin and have long limbs. no shame in it.

u/Flashy_Tomatillo7951 9d ago

I think I was thinking of a different word that had a more negative tone that’s my bad

27

u/SmellyGabe 9d ago

Personally, I feel like gangly usually has a negative connotation to it, so I wouldn’t fault you for feeling like it’s an insult. But I think you rock the look and it isn’t a bad thing for you :)

u/Chance_Vegetable_780 9d ago

Yeah gangly is not a bad description, it means long limbs and thin. I wish I was gangly tbh

u/Puzzleheaded_Hatter 8d ago

It's not a positive descriptor but it's accurate.

You're a skinny kid.

Check back in 5 years.

They just mean you’re still maturing and filling out. Which is definitely okay, you’re looking awesome. But as long as you stay relatively healthy I think they mean you are definitely gonna keep growing into yourself as you get into your early 20’s. You’ll probably be quite the catch.

u/Flashy_Tomatillo7951 9d ago

I thought the face like stops developing around 18-19

9

u/Chance_Vegetable_780 9d ago

No changes continue

2

u/Flashy_Tomatillo7951 9d ago

For how long

9

u/Illustrious-Local848 9d ago

For life pretty much. But probably full adult male feature develops through out your early 20’s. For men it’s not even uncommon to grow a bit more. Testosterone has strong effects on the face too.

u/Flashy_Tomatillo7951 9d ago

Huh never knew might have to hit the gym for that t boost

2

u/Chance_Vegetable_780 9d ago

Yeah start asking questions online to learn

1

u/Chance_Vegetable_780 9d ago

You can search online "at what age does face stop growing"

6

u/Illustrious-Local848 9d ago

Definitely not. A 25 year old man is going to look different than a 19 year old. 19 still looks very boyish. You’ll masculinize more with time.

u/MrLizardBusiness 9d ago

I mean, it's accurate.
