if you are doing LL for getting more dates, don't bother! it comes from within, the x-factor. my friend is about 170 cm, maybe shorter and he bags many girls. Once you are around 170cm+, height is no longer a critical concern.
but then again, height DOES help, but it is part of a bigger equation which includes how your face looks and your personality/humour.
Most of us don't do that for chicks.
The most repeated reasons are:
-Overcoming short stature
-Getting in peace with your body
-Just pure wish to be taller(cuz i can)
So why did you do it? And why you want more?
I do it for sports, and not for chicks.
getting in peace with my body and not feel overwhelmed each time a dude towers over me (insecurities I guess)... and it is related to sports that I feel inadequate at this height.

How does something as damaging as LL help with sports? I'm genuinely wondering.
I already jump higher than before for basketball, and get more rebounds, compared to my earlier height. It helps in the paint, in a very scary way.
So you did this to cure insecurity... Like any other prospective LLer
but that's probably cause I train like anything from 3 to 8 hours a day, 3 times a week... endurance and balance really suffered though. and it is kinda uncomfortable to stay in half squat position as is common in basketball. gotta get used to it. I am only 4 months after frame removal, so I don't know. I started doing plyometrics yesterday.
mostly insecurity........ =/
but.. I do not feel as insecure now that I reached 6 feet. Many guys may be taller than me,but they cannot defeat me in any way as they are fatter, and less healthy or strong as me.
You know the most common down-fall of those with BDD is thinking that cosmetic surgeries are the answer, right?
