Gain the Romantic Edge, Make Less More

Friday, January 27th, 2012

Valentine’s Day is quickly approaching. Roses, romance, and restaurants are in the future.  Breaking the bank on your lovely lady may not be the only way to create an atmosphere for romance. There are many cost efficient ways to show the woman you care about how you truly feel. Gain the romantic edge.

Poetry is a viable option. We’re not all romantic and brilliant poets, but once a year we have a chance to try. Take the risk, it can go a longer way than just buying dinner. A card that you make with a quote from one of her favorite books or movies is another option.  Show her that you care, but beyond that show her reasons to care about you.

Now, what can the single man on a first date with someone do if he may not know her well enough yet? Don’t worry, that’s the magic of valentines day: You get a chance to be creative. Be bold and try out something new.

To achieve all this we can’t forget the initial aspect, finding the right woman. Every guy has that one woman who he has his eye on. Well turn the tables and have her eyes on you. This is done through confidence, eye contact, being presentable, and standing out in the crowd. Those that typically tend to stand out are the tall guys, so keep you posture up and have the women look up to you. Height increasing insoles that you add in your shoes can increase your stature  and really give you an edge in attracting women. Of course being presentable and hygienic is a must, so get your favorite outfit ready for a night on the town.

At Liftkits, we wish you all the best in making this Valentine’s day into an unforgettable one.

Are Guys Dating Girls the Same Height as Them?

Tuesday, September 20th, 2011

There has always been an unwritten rule that women live by, and that is that they need to find a mate that is taller than them. Ideally, you don’t want a situation like Kim Kardashian and her new husband, where there is over a foot difference between them, but having a boyfriend or husband who is at least two or three inches taller is usually ideal.

 

But if you are one of those guys who is a little on the shorter side, then you might find that the pool of women that you can choose from is a little smaller. There will be women who will completely rule you out simply because of your height, no matter how unfair that may seem. So if you are pursuing one woman in particular or you want to make sure that more women find you attractive, you will need to do something about your height.

 

Your choices are extremely limited, so before you even think about wearing shoes with big heels on them or taking hormones to increase your height, you should do what a lot of men in Hollywood are already doing. LiftKits are a unique way to add an extra one inch to two inches on your height without anyone knowing at all.

 

You won’t have to wear special shoes since the LiftKits go right into the shoes that you already own and help you grow taller.  From the outside, you just look taller, but you will be stepping on comfortable neoprene insoles that not only make you taller, but they also make you walk more upright and with confidence.

 

If you are trying to date a woman who is just an inch or so taller than you, then this is a great way to grow taller and  level the playing field and give yourself a better chance with her.

 

Fact : Taller Men Achieve More

powerful man

The average height for men in the United States is now 5’9”, which is actually a little shorter than it was a generation ago. But if you are shorter than this, then you are probably suffering from a variety of prejudices that make it harder for you to get a job, harder to get a raise or a promotion, and also a lot harder to get a date.

 

People just tend to look at taller people as being more powerful and capable. Unfortunately, there is nothing that you can do about that. Women face the same kind of prejudice, with taller women being considered more attractive than shorter women, and taller women also getting much better-paying jobs.

 

But if you want to appear taller, there are some things you can do such as change the type of clothing that you wear. You can also make yourself physically taller by “heightening,” which is the practice of putting lifts inside your shoes. Although you may think that only someone who was really short would do this, the truth is that many men in Hollywood and on Wall Street do it because it makes them appear more powerful and capable.

 

The great thing about lifts is that you can put them in your shoes and no one will ever know. You will wear the same brand name shoes as everyone else, whether you are wearing athletic shoes or dress shoes, yet you will be an inch or two taller. So if you are only 5’7” right now, with a product like LiftKits, you can get yourself up to the average height of 5’9”. If you are 5’10”, then you can finally read the magic number of six feet, which is where you will really see benefits in terms of earning power and the ability to attract women.

Dating Tips: The True Secret to Getting Noticed

Dating Tips and using LiftKits

There are some secret truths that most women will never tell you about dating, including the fact that if you are lacking in height, you might not have that good of a chance of getting the dates that you really want. Although it’s not fair that women judge you on your height, they do, just as you would judge a woman who was too tall for you. Therefore, if you are on the shorter side, one of the little-known secrets is that an extra inch or two could be the difference between having lots of dates and having none.

 

You might not think that there is much you can do about your height, but there is. The first thing that you can do is learn to stand up and walk much straighter. That alone can add an inch to your height. You should also learn to dress yourself in a way that accentuates the height that you do have. Wearing low-slung pants or slouchy clothes will only make you look shorter.

 

Also, although you may have been tempted to buy elevator shoes, that is a mistake that no man should make. But you can still get plenty of height out of your shoes if you know how to do it. One way that you can add an extra inch or two to your overall height is by using shoe lifts that fit right into your shoes.

 

LiftKits are comfortable, Poly Urethane insoles that fit into your shoes, no matter what kind of shoes you like to wear. No one can see that they are there, but you will be anywhere from one to two inches taller everywhere you go. The insoles are interchangeable so you can wear them in all of your shoes and finally be able to walk around with confidence.

 

Are There Real Advantages To Being Tall?

Advantages of being tall

 

In this life, there are some things that just aren’t fair. For example, if you are taller, you will have a much better chance at getting girls and getting jobs. And, as Seinfeld says, “You don’t see a lot of handsome homeless.” When you look better, you just get advantages that other people don’t. Unfortunately, being tall is part of looking good.

 

As a man, there are huge advantages to being tall. As a kid, you would be picked first for sports teams, the boys would look up to you, and the girls would all love you. You might even get more respect from the teachers. Those advantages carry on well into adulthood, with most employers preferring to advance male employees who are taller. They don’t do this consciously; it is just part of them seeing you as take-charge and successful.

 

When it comes to women, most women don’t have a specific height of a man that they are looking for, but they instinctively know if he’s too short. Generally speaking, no woman will want to date a man who is shorter than she is, and even a man that is the same height may be out of bounds for her. Therefore, you need to do what you can to enhance your height whenever you can.

 

You can do this by changing the types of clothes that you wear, by standing up straighter, and by wearing lifts in your shoes that will give you an extra inch or two of height. Although no one will argue that it’s fair, even an inch extra can make a big difference in how you are perceived by other people and the type of successes you will have in life. LiftKits are comfortable insoles that you can wear in all of your shoes that will give you the added height you need for success.

Five Ways To Appear Taller

Friday, September 9th, 2011

Male FashionMens Fashion

If you are a man who is struggling with his size, then you might be looking for a few hints on how to appear taller. The average size for a man right now is only 5’9”, but if you are shorter than that, then you may find yourself facing hurdles that just aren’t fair. Women will think that you are too short for them, and you will be overlooked for promotions because other men are simply taller.

 

Here are five ways that you can appear taller:

 

  1. Stand up straight. Most men tend to slouch and not pay attention to their posture. By simply standing up a little taller and lifting your chin, you could appear up to a full inch taller.

 

  1. Stop wearing baggy clothes. Baggy clothes only make you look short and dumpy. You can appear taller by wearing more form-fitted clothes that accentuate the positive aspects of your body.

 

  1. Wear vertical stripes. We have all heard that people who are overweight shouldn’t wear horizontal stripes because it makes them look wider, but the truth is that if you are short, a little bit of vertical stripes can’t hurt you. Obviously, you don’t want to overdo it, but by wearing a dress shirt with faint vertical stripes, you will give the illusion of being taller.

 

  1. Wear shoes with higher heels. This doesn’t mean that you should overdo it again and wear “elevator shoes,” but it does mean that if you have a choice between shoes with a half-inch heel and those with a full inch, you should opt for the larger heel. Just make sure that whatever you do, your pants are adjusted so that they nearly reach the ground. Short pants with taller heels can make you look shorter.

 

  1. Wear lifts. Many men are choosing to wear lifts these days. These are actually just insoles that fit right into your existing shoes and can add anywhere from one inch to two inches to your overall height. LiftKits are one of the most popular brands and are used by men all over the world to increase their height and improve their confidence.

 

Although it doesn’t seem fair that taller men get all the breaks, in reality they do. Our society appreciates height in a man (to an extent) and rewards them with more opportunities. If you are over six feet tall, then you will have a better chance of getting a good job, getting a raise when you ask for it, and of course getting a promotion – not to mention a better chance of getting a woman.

 

So as a shorter man, you have a lot of work to do. You will need to give yourself every advantage you can in order to not only make yourself appear taller, but more confident, too. Of all the hints listed above, perhaps the shoe lifts are the most important as they will make a measurable difference in your height, yet it is one that no one will know about except for you.

Finding Shoes That Make You Taller

Tuesday, August 9th, 2011

So many people today, men and women alike, look for one thing in particular when they go shoe shopping, and that is shoes that make you look taller. Nobody enjoys people looking down at them. Whether it’s family, friends, co-workers, employees, or anyone else, when people look down at you, it makes you feel less confident and even inferior. Over the years, this can really make in impact on your self-image, so it’s clear that you want to do what you can to find shoes that make you taller.

 Styles

 There are only so many shoe styles available that accomplish this goal. For men, the options are truly limited, and this is especially true when you are considering professional attire. For casual wear, boots and other thick-soled shoes are an option for men, but these aren’t appropriate for all occasions or all weather. For women, there are of course heels as an option, as well as boots, clogs, and other styles. While there are more styles for women to choose from, the drawback is that heels and other such shoes are not always comfortable and they can even cause health issues.

 Insoles

 Sometimes the solution doesn’t rest in the shoe styles but in the shoes themselves. This is because rather than finding shoes that make you taller, you can actually put inserts into your existing styles that give you a healthy boost. What’s best is that nobody else knows you are wearing them!

 The Results

 Whether you do choose to buy a style that has a thicker heel or you choose to go with the more comfortable and healthier option of insoles, the result is that you will be taller than you are barefooted, and you will have that extra edge that gives you a confidence boost every day, too.

Shoe Lifts for Men – A Real Alternative

Monday, August 8th, 2011

There are several different ways that you can add a few inches to your height, and if you are a man who is a little shorter than you would like, you may have already tried some of these. You will find some shorter men who use human growth hormones or lengthening techniques, but in reality, they don’t work.

 What About Elevator Shoes?

 Most women won’t tell you this, but one of the first things that they look at in any man is his feet. They want to see what kind of shoes he is wearing, how big his feet are, and how well he takes care of his shoes. If you are wearing elevator shoes, you will be found out immediately, and this is usually a deal breaker for most women. But if you are wearing shoe lifts for men, they simply won’t know.

 What Are These?

 Shoe lifts for men are small inserts that are put into the inside of the shoe. They can raise you up anywhere from one inch to two inches, and no one will know that you have them on. Unlike elevator shoes that stand out, shoe lifts can be used in any pair of shoes that you have, and you can adjust them to a particular height if you wish.

 Are They Comfortable?

 You might think that having any kind of shoe lifts for men in your shoes would be uncomfortable, but nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, most men find that they are more comfortable, walk more upright, and have more confidence in their stride once they put in these lifts. Your friends and co-workers might not at first notice that you are taller, but they will indeed notice that you are walking with a renewed confidence, something that you never had before.

Shoe Lifts – Back In Style Again

Sunday, August 7th, 2011

Women wear high heels because they know that they make their legs look great and also make them appear a lot taller. When a man wears shoes with anything more than an inch heel, everyone knows that he is trying to look taller, and that is not a good thing. But, with shoe lifts, you can get that extra height that you are looking for without anyone knowing it.

 How Do Shoe Lifts Work?

 Lifts in your shoes are not the same as having stacked heels or elevator shoes. You get to wear your normal shoes, whether they are athletic shoes, dress shoes, work shoes, or casual shoes. Then, simply take out the existing insoles and replace them with shoe lifts. They will instantly make you appear taller and since you will still be wearing your regular shoes, no one will know the difference.

 Are They Comfortable?

 When you wear shoe lifts, you might be surprised by the level of comfort that you get. First of all, they are made from soft material that cushions yet still supports your feet, and they will feel no different than your normal insoles. Also, because you are supported more in the back of your foot, you will stand up straighter, which leads to better posture and fewer health problems.

 Won’t People Know?

 The best part of wearing lifts is that you will get to take advantage of the many benefits of being taller without having to resort to such things as human growth hormone or bone lengthening. Both men and women around you will look at you much differently, and you will be able to stand tall, literally, with a sense of pride. Having just an extra inch or two on your height can make all the difference in the world and really improve your life.
