Quote from: Omar on October 16, 2023, 09:27:41 PM You're right on some points . In reality, I'm over 5'11", so I'm considered to be among the taller guys in this forum. Certainly, and you're absolutely right, if everyone added 2 inches, I'd like to continue being taller. But I have the choice to gain or not gain a certain number of centimeters. Beyond 7 cm, I wouldn't add a millimeter because I would have surpassed my personal ideal, even though I wouldn't be the tallest person in the room. After all, there will always be someone taller than you, and I've grown accustomed to that. Furthermore, it's better to be among the taller individuals than the shorter ones. Also, I must admit that I measure my height four times a day, which could be seen as obsessive-compulsive behavior, so the statement you make isn't 100% accurate. For instance, I don't do it to please a woman, as my current height is sufficient and not a concern. However, beyond that, you might be surprised to learn that my primary goal is to stand in front of a stadiometer and read 6'2" or 6'1", as my ideal falls somewhere in that range. Sorry for m'y english 
I am compleyely sure that you'll never do LL. As most of the taller than average guys that wrote here, especially the ones who had so stupid "reasons" to do it, as the one you mentioned about the stadiometer.
So nothing really to talk about.

I hope you are correct; nonetheless, as of now, it's not feasible. I lack the financial resources and the time. However, if I have both in the future, we can undertake it together if you are willing.
Maybe I’m crazy but the idea of being able to go to the pool, to go to someones house / apartment and take off your shoes without worrying about it just being yourself completely average normal height sounds like such a dream.
I remember the times where I used to go to these things and be 4-6 inches shorter than the other guys there and same height maybe even an inch below the females. The lack of height just automatically puts you in this bad spot where if you do nothing and just be laid back you’ll automatically be sorted at the bottom of the unspoken hierarchy of female attraction and male physical threat which at the end of day are the most fundamental evolutionary social parameters.
I think we all remember hanging out with our friends that were taller than us as teenagers, meet a group of girls and you’re invisible and automatically filtered from the beginning.
I guess what I’m trying to express is that I feel like being short is like trying to play a video game with a broken controller than makes it impossible for you to play properly like the others. And getting LL is like fixing your controller so you can finally play the game on an equal level the way it was meant to be played with the others.
It makes you life better.. you can run a marathon without shoes, but having those is a night and day change. Because thas life you whant a better car, better house, better income, better partner, and high has a correlation in male life, sorry reality hurts, and also probably 98% of the forum have height disphorya
I have a short tibia and a big head. I figure that I could have a better body proportion if I proceed with the surgery, which is why I am doing it.
To be fair, I would have lived with my condition if the surgery didn't exist but it exists, so why not lol

Excellent metaphor. And totally true. When you're below average, you have to try ten times harder for one tenth of the results.

Can't agree more. I think rather than dating pool height tremendously influences on ur mental health and this is the biggest influence of it. I don't want to look pessimistic but genes can really 'shape' ur life, not just influence.

Agreed 100%. It is only a small minority of people who can look past superficial traits like height and beauty and see what really matters for long term relationships, like personality, communication skills, and financial stability.
