And I am telling you that you're wrong. It's not as if I don't go outside; I can tell that I'm only 1.5-2 inches shorter than the average guy I see at work, the gym, the grocery store, etc.

Damn... you're ONLY 2 inches shorter than the AVERAGE guy?... I guess that makes you anything but short...

I don't know if it has to do with visual effect.
When I approached someone same as my height, if that person is strong or bulk up, I feel he is an inch taller than me.
If he os skinny, I feel like about the same or I am a little taller.
Did you feel the same thing when approaching your friends same as your height?

Yeah, definitely, it's all about the visual effect. Finally someone with sense. You might look like a complete manlet and people mistake you for a teenager but but but statistics tell me I'm average, I'm not short!!!1!!
Can we end this stupid and pointless dispute?
Back to OP's question, I watched Cy4borglife's vids about Paley, and Paley recommended Option 5 if you really want to go beyond 13-15cm but yeah I don't think it's also valuable bc you can just go for 12-13cm and as for only 3-4cm it does not matter that much not to mention you gotta pay extra several thousands of dollars.
We can end the pointless discussion and each to their own. I'm gonna take my chance to ask, what are the reasons behind people not doing 10cm femurs? I've seen a guy do it with Betz but all other diaries are like 7-8cm max. IMO, if you're going to pay that much money and go through all that pain and isolation, why not max it out? But then again, this is why I'm asking, there's obviously a reason behind it. I doubt a person doing 8cm wouldn't do 10 if he knew it'd be safe. Is aesthetics the issue then? Or loss of athleticism? Or an increased chance of an injury? I don't care about the first two but the last one is obviously a deal breaker if that's the case.

Probably complications is the reason, or injury that happens unexpectedly after LL.

10cm femur is possible but you also gotta take individual time enduring and athleticism after LL. It's not solely money.
I"d really wanna do 10cm femurs, that's why I'm asking but I'm kinda creeped out because no one seems to be doing it. I don't play any sports so athleticism is not an issue for me as long as I can walk without looking like a penguin.

Does your country offer LL now? Or are you planning to fly to a different country for LL?
