Year 12s: what will be the first way you research your future options? >>

calisthenics help

I want to start doing calisthenics as a 19 year old, weigh 50kg and about 5"6.
I'm not sure what to do or where to start.
I want to gain weight and grow taller and look more masculine, so I can actually talk to girls and have a girlfriend.

anyone have any tips please?

Your reasons are all wrong, none of this will happen because you start doing calisthenics. You will not grow taller and suddenly be able to "talk to girls and have a girlfriend." You'll also most like not see enough progress in gaining weight to be happy enough to continuing to do it.

However, if you want to improve your mental and physical health because it's for YOUR benefit, then a YouTube channel I've seen that's blown up recently called Hybrid calisthenics will help you a lot, and what will help you gain weight is a combination of calisthenics and weight lifting along with careful consideration of what you eat.

You would be surprised how many women like slim men.
Stay cheerful and have positive conversations.

Wait until you're 40 and then you'll want to lose the middle-aged spread weight...
