Maybe in some manlet city. We in Canberra are at least 8' average.
Unfortunately people see what they want to see.
Quote from: LookingAround on September 06, 2016, 12:54:40 AMIf you are obsessed with your own appearance you are a narcissist. If you are willing to do an expensive, risky, surgery that will only improve your appearance, then you are obsessed with your appearance. Whether you are 5'0 or 6'0, if you are considering this surgery then you are a narcissist.
I also don't appreciate the ad-hominem attacks nor understand what they "give" you. I will be the better man and just ignore them though

I can definitely say I am as I am at the tip of 5"9 in the morning. I have had hair transplants, gone to expensive dermatologist and know gone so far to desire a limb lengthening surgery.
Basically doing all this so I can be the image to people of what I feel like inside.

Also how's Bay Area, SF in terms of height?
Lots of asians, so you will be tall. I just moved from the silicon Valley. SF has a lot of short people.
I have to chime in here. First off, making fun of anyone for things out of their control (height, skin color, family, country of origin etc.) is despicable and ignorant. Second, everyone has their own reason for having cosmetic procedures done but it's mostly due to an inferiority complex as a result of enduring systematic discrimination and bias. Discrimination sucks for everyone but it is NOT, I repeat absolutely NOT the same degree all across the board. At 5'10, getting LL is more about introducing a variable to produce net benefits (clinch that top 10% alpha status) a guy at 5'6, getting LL is about removing a harmful variable (getting sh!t on for being short). A guy who gets crap at 5'10-5'11 for being too "short" doesn't hold himself to the same level of shame as a guy who is 5'7 and below. The guy at 5'10 is well aware he is in the average height for most countries and above average in others so he can immediately write his accuser off as irrational and in the wrong (person's character/beliefs about self remain validated and intact). However, the guy below 5'7 KNOWS he's short and whenever he is insulted about his height he is complete agreement with that insult....do you know how much cognitive dissonance is created when you've been insulted by someone and you both know it's true? It's a very bitter pill to swallow. You can't call them crazy, or wrong, or refute their argument because they're stating objective facts not some abstract statement open to interpretation and analysis.
I find that the more south you go, the shorter people seem to be. In you're in the Midwest or especially the northeast people are usually taller than average. I've been to Kentucky/Georgia/Tennessee/Alabama and I felt more like an average girl whereas I feel extremely small when I'm in the aforementioned areas, even with heels on.
States and cities with higher Latino and Asian populations have a smaller average height, like everyone else said. More white and black population usually means taller people. Out in the west you'll probably see shorter people too since, again, there are a lot of Latino and Asian people living there.
Quote from: Big Daddy on September 05, 2016, 11:10:31 PMSaw a thread pointing to r/short on r/subredditdrama, and there I saw posts from guys who are 5'9 - 6'0 talking about getting leg lengthening and this forum and another were mentioned. The other one is kinda dead and threads like this are funny.
To me getting your legs lengthened at 5'9 and up is beyond silly. When you're that height, money/success in general is the primary factor that determines respect from peers and success with women. A 6'0 guy post-CLL with less money after blowing $75,000 - $120,000 on this will not be looked at in a better light than the 5'9+ guy who used that money on a nice car or an investment.
I've been saying the same thing. It's insane, isn't it.
