There is nothing wrong with you, Uppland. Maybe you don't need to become taller, probably you need to get more weight. I noticed that, from the point of view of women, a short man is often equivalent to a tall/average man too thin. Why don't you try to go to gym before to consider LL: you will obtain a similar result for your aesthetic with less pain and less money

Perhaps, still I would like to be at least comfortably average. A small increase shouldn't throw my proportions off too much.
I'm in a club at the moment wearing completely flat soles and I highly feel the need of LL. I feel tiny here, hardly any guy is shorter than me.
Just go for it Uppland and don't worry too much about your shoulder width, hit the gym and you'll be fine.

How tall are you then mate, and where do you live?
I'll heed your advice I think, I obviously feel bad about being below average, and like you said once I hit the gym it'll probably be different.
I am austrian and my height is 178≈, I live in zurich now where the average is a bit lower but it all changes as soon as you go to the clubs. 90% of the people here are not swiss (loads of germans) so I'm getting towerd all the time. Feels just like home, in terms of the height difference.

Thing is, if it's anything like Sweden, young people in clubs are clustered around 185CM so what can you do?
If you lengthen 5CM you'll still be just average at best in this kind of crowd and if you go further your proportions will end up looking awkward. Is it even worth it to go through all this hazzle or is it a lost cause?
I don't think that being average is a bad thing, I never wanted to be taller than others. Just being shorter sucks, yeah 185 is very common among people our age. My goal is 6,5 cm's so I'd be 185≈.
I'be happy with anything above 183 I think.

I agree, I only want to be comfortably average. Being tall would be ideal of course but I'd be satisfied with anything that let's me blend in.
I think I'll be good at 183CM as well but not if my body end up looking weird. Will your proportions be able to handle a 6-7CM increase?
I hope so.
My wingspan is quit high at 187\188.
7 cm's is the upper limit imo, everything above that looks odd very quickly. If I see that my proportions are getting weird I'll stop at 5cm's.
I have to admit that I'm not sure yet weither I'll do the surgery or not, there are times where I just want to forget about all that.
Uppland, where are you come from? 178 cm is not a short height (if you don't live in northern Europe...)
