What Sysop/Apotheosis REALLY looks like

Edit Post

Quote from: Hanna84 on April 21, 2014, 12:09:59 AMI didn't meant to be snarky. I really don't understand why people keep on discussing about Apotheosis' proportions and to allege that he might have edited his pictures because he CAN'T look good after lengthening 20cm. I actually met patients who did around 16-18cm that looked great. Of course that doesn't mean that everybody could lengthen that much, it's very individual, but at least it's possible.

Of course some people can lengthen 20cm.  My argument is Apo hasn't pulled it off aesthetically as well as he claims to, and that's dangerous for the community because they'll be people with shorter torsos than him thinking "Hey, his body is only 1-3cm longer than mine, I can lengthen the same length and look practically the same" when in reality they can't. It varies from person to person. 

My point it, given all the evidence Sysop gave us with his original photos/sitting height, It's hard to see how he can look as "great" as he claims he does.  If he's happy with his proportions, good for him.  I just want people to really consider before doing excessive lengthening of 10+ whether they really will look fine afterwards, or whether they're deluding themselves.  Height>proportions in most cases, but that doesn't mean proportions don't matter.  Apotheosis is using himself as evidence to push forward his claim that "proportions don't matter" when that evidence, as many of us have noticed, is faulty or fraudulent.

No healthy human can pull off 20cm.

Photos are not real life.
If we all would sit down when SySop is towering us and then be at eye level at the table would make everyone wonder.
Especially if there's a natural 6' guy who will have a taller sitting height than him.

Hanna and Risingshorty are right.

Let's move on from this garbage topic. I just typed an essay post but decided to delete it and replace it by this one line. Every time I see my crooked legs in the mirror, I feel pissed.

Surely if you want to move on from this topic, you can do - just stop viewing it and posting to it.  I thought we weren't like the old forum - can't we let those who want to discuss something discuss it with others who want to discuss the same thing?  I don't see why you need to stop everyone talking about something just because you don't like it for whatever reason.  Proportions are important for me - if you're not going to let me talk about them here, and old forum  is a anti-proportions circlejerk, is there literally no place for me at all?

Sure, if you want to continue this topic, I don't mind. I just feel that we're doing him a favour every time someone mentions him.

The previous poster already revealed Sysop/Apoth was a con man in his mid 40 and from New York. I already felt suspicious 2 years ago when I read an interview saying that his original height 5'6 (google for yourself). A few months later his starting height became 5'7 with a sitting height of 93cm. My friend told that that he was less than that. My friend was 90cm and sat higher than him. I don't know why anyone would like to fake himself but now I understand that it was his attempts to hide his freakiest disproportion. I was so naive but only to reveal a few months later going to India and coming back with crooked legs. My doctor was on his recommended list.

Going back to the topic of proportion, it really depends on your individual body. Proportions varies from person. There is no one standard that can fit all for all persons. If you want you can post a picture and we can help you determine how much you can lengthen.

Proportion is very important to me as well. That's why I think I can't go anymore than 5cm on the femur.

Ok, sorry for keeping the conversation going.  It's just that I only started looking into ll three months ago, and that was only on the other site too.  I've missed what the heck has happened and reading everything has helped to a degree, but I still have a million unanswered questions about Sysop, old forum , and the rest of that stuff.  I guess I'll just let it die   I'm a bit behind that's all.

Unfortunately these discussions should continue so the newcomers are made aware of all of the scams and con men out there.

If I was ready to do LL early last year I would have gone to Sarin.  If I was ready last fall and didn't know about the scams I would have gone to sringari. Either way I probably would have been f'd up.  I'm glad that he was exposed and the newcomers should know about it.

Everyone had their fair say about this topic and it is just going in circles with nothing new being said.  A few people have express that we should move on from it and I agree.   Therefore I urge everyone to move beyond this thread.
