Shortest and Tallest cities/states in the US

What goes on in your head does not match reality. You're insecure so you focus on anyone who is taller than you, and it makes you believe that there are more tall people than there are actually present. Not to menton that because you view the top of heads from eye level you greatly over estimate the heights of those around you.

Quote from: Big Daddy on September 05, 2016, 10:47:38 PMThere are more average height/tall users on this forum than actual short people lmao. I can't imagine how many doctors who operate on the non-short people are laughing at them after they put them under. As someone who is 5'11, if I found out one of my friends at this height got leg lengthening I would heckle them for the rest of their life. Thanks for the entertainment guys.

Man what is your story for being here lol. I can kinda appreciate it though, not gonna lie.

Saw 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.

Nearly every time I take a rough census of the men around me (while hanging out, at work etc.) I notice that the average height is close to 6'. That friend group, as I mentioned is almost entirely 6' to 6'2". My roommates in college were on average 6'; the last 10 guys I lived with, 3 were shorter and 5 were taller.  The office i work in, with 10 men, has 3 shorter / the same height as me and 7 taller than me. I am very objective in my observations. It seems like 5'10 (my height) is roughly the 40th percentile for my peers thus average must be 5'11 or even 6'.

The average height for young white men is 5'10.5". If you assume that the poorer half are closer to the rest of the population (5'9") then the other half must be 5'11" to 6' to make up for that shortness.  And yes, height and socioeconomic status have an obvious connection.

As for you making fun of a 5'11 guy for having the surgery, I agree that most people would have that reaction, hence why I wouldn't tell a soul and just make the transition by hunching over / wearing flat soled shoes for a while.

Unfortunately your opinion is just that: your opinion. It does not matter what you think. You should find something better to do as I promise you will be booted for your rudeness and minimal value-add.

Dude i'm living in one of the tallest countries in the world and there is no way 6 foot is an average.

Well if they just want to get taller for the sake of it who cares. But i gotta agree that average height people blaming their every failure because they are not the allmighty 6' is quite silly.

My opinion would be in line with just about any psych who saw you for an evaluation. If you're so fragile as to be unable to bear anyone finding out you had this surgery, and can't stand that other people would call you out for thinking of doing something stupid, what makes you possibly think you could handle what leg lengthening and recovery requires?

Average height statistics are pretty accurate... It's all in your head... If everything is fine with your life and you have such a great self-esteem, why would you even try to improve yourself physically by such drastic means? What will happen once you will be 6' and suddenly walk by a bunch of young dutch tourists which most of them will be likely taller than you? Your experience in life was better wearing timberland boots? So wear those and have fun....
