180cm now and 5cm more willl make me 185cm,with that i will be average in my country.And for sure i will not feel like shortest guy at night club and other similar event,becuse for sure always will be guy shorter than me. And when i see girl 187(with heels)that will not be so bad becuse she will be only 2cm higher than me,and i will not feel so much short. That is my opinion.
Quote from: jfk on September 02, 2015, 01:51:53 PMGood for you! But I would never feel really happy with my height unless I have really good height.
Of course I feel better with 172 cm. But lets be honest. It is still short.
you are entitled to your opinion but 172/5 8 is the 25th percentile. so are you saying that if you are a room with 20 men that 5 of them are short (which seems too high a number to me), and you also saying that 1 in 4 men are short, if so then by that definition a lot of men are short, 170 seems perfectly fine to me, never been 172 myself yet but after my op i can wear lifts to that height to see what it's like.
i defenetily felt 10x more normal when i wore 4cm lifts to go from 165 to 169, beyond that not sure how much i cared about being taller, not a whole lot but would like a couple more cms
With 180 cm I could say I am happy with my height 
With shoes that would be 6 feet. That is a good height!
Good for your career, good for girls, good for everything

Why you think that your carer will be better if you are taller? unless you are basketball or volleyball player?
Nicolas Sarkozy,Vladimir Putin,Tom Cruise,Kevin Hart,Bernie Ecclestone,they are all short,look Nick Vujacic.
Then you will realise that for good career you don't need height,just need good brain

Quote from: endomorphisme on September 02, 2015, 01:11:43 PMThere is no difference between 164 and 172 cm because you just go from very short to solid short, you re still short
Someone who is 183 cm and gain 5 cm will move from strong average to tall, the benefits are more noticeable
In a sense I agree because the closer you are to average the more men you will "pass" by lengthening. Say a majority of average men a clumped around 180 then going from 177 to 183 would have you pass more men than going from 167-173 even though you'd be moving up the percentiles faste in the latter case.
Still I think it'll have a larger real life impact to go from short to "below average", men between 175-185 are all over the place but short men stand out.
Also to be "tall" you will have to clear that clump around the average, in a country where the average is 180, 185+ would be the bare minimum to be considered tall but after that the number of men your height will shrink quickly.
Quote from: Descreteuser on August 31, 2015, 07:58:45 PMto be honest being in serbia sucks for me.. because i feel shorter here at 185 than i use to back home at 181. because everyones so tall.. but it doesnt bother me cause this is only temporary being here. It depends what ur use to.. ill only know for sure once i get back to my hometown if its gone or not.. id say it will as il be 3inches taller than averge.. in serbia im in the 50th percentile at 185 lol.. when i was probably in 70 percentile back home at 181.. id say if ur use to being below average where u live and will become average than it will go.. but i cant say for sure..
If you were Serbian with 185cm,would you consider second surgery?

i think u have to be 3 inches above the average of ur country to feel and look noticeably tall to be honest..otherwise ull just look kinda average.. im dead on average in serbia i feel..it kinda feels like ive spent 6 months of my life and have lost an inch and half of height lol..ill be 3 inches above average in my country.. which is 3 inches lower than the average height here in serbia. depends what ur expectations are aswell.. if u come into this expecting to feel tall afterwards, which is my case, than unless u r well clear of the average in the area u r located u will be dissapointed.. im sure if i lived my life in serbia at my original height i would have felt short, and now id be happy with feeling average..which would be 'want more's' case... it all depends on ur life experience, and also what ur expectations are afterwards.. But i believe for 'want more' that if he wants to feel average afterwards in his country, than he will definitely achieve that getting to 185..

if i had to live here for the rest of my life and could never go anywhere else.. than yeah if i had the money and the time, id probably do it..cause i just feel way to average here.. and it would have defeated the purpose of doing the originaly surgery.. but remember u being 5'11 in serbia would be like me being 5'8 5'9 from where im from..so if what u want is to feel average.. than ull be satisfied..

It is senseless to mention examples of people who are short and successful. It is like saying you can be a bad player and still win the world cup. Of course not all the winners of the world cup are exceptional players. Or it is like mentioning 3 guys who are shorter than their beautiful girlfriends and say: You dont need to be tall to get a good girlfriend. Of course there are exceptions. There will always be exceptions. But if you think all the CEOs in the world got in their position because of their brain then you are very naive.
There are studies that the taller you are the more you earn. Unfortunately that is a fact. Yes there are exceptions of course and yes you can have a good career without being tall but it is highly more likely if you are tall. Fact.
Just look at the average height of CEOs and dont tell me it is a coincidence that most of them are tall.
Or look at where you work. Is your boss really the guy who is the smartest of all the workers? There you have your answer.

You say a disproportionate person is unattractive but I think as long as it is not extreme no one will notice.
But I tell you what is definitely unattractive: Being short.
People here on this forum always talk about how it is not possible to go back and do less.
But I would like to go back and do more
Every person on these forums who do big lengthening always believe they are the exception to the rule. What is your sitting knee height after doing 8cm on tibia? My point is compared to a guy who is naturally 172cm you are proportionally smaller in all your other bones and body parts even more so compared to the 180cm guy. Being short is unattractive but having that body on stilts look is even worse. There is no way I'd view some awkward looking taller guy as being more dominant than a guy who is shorter than him.
