Quote from: a on September 07, 2020, 11:45:56 AMI'm 173, 175 in the morning.

Since I'm a little under average I'd benefit this surgery a lot. Because I can simply be taller for the rest of my life with good proportions.
If you are short, everything related to you will be short (average measurements, there are people with too long torso lengths for their height but it's like 1/10000). Your hands, your skull, your feet, your torso, shoulders etc.

The best LL is when you go to "tall" from "average". If you are saying that you'd never do CLL at 170cm, it's because you were not born at that height. If I were like 160cm, I'd definetely think that 170is a good height. But it's not. It sucks. You feel like god has cursed you. He has given you everything but height. It's a real torture.

Being below 170 is 2x torture, I know. But if you are in 160cm range and be 170, you'll simply have long legs and small af torso. It has a great chance of looking bad. Me, as an average person I can tell you that my torso and my limbs are as tall as the natural tall guys. So are most of the people I know who are average. Tall people only has 5-10cm advantage coming from their legs. Their torso would be taller than mine maximumly 2cm. Why not lengthening my legs to be "tall"? It's the best gift in the world.

Mostly average people have problems with their arm length and hand length. But I'm lucky to have big hands. In my future CLL experience (if happens) the only - thing will be my slightly short arms. Nobody will care though. But if you are short and be average, it won't look as good as average to tall CLL.


is ridiculous. In fact, cll is more important for people shorter than 170. If you do 170 175 180 cll, it will not be as good as the person that 160 people get it done.

It depends really. If you are Dutch and 170cm, (objectively) you are in a worse position than an Indian who's at 160cm.
Not to mention that height neurosis hits everyone differently.

So it's all relative, and there's no one height that makes it better or worse. Perhaps the 180cm is legitimately considering suicide for not being a Chad height and therefore if he got the height surgery then objectively his impact will be much better than the 165cm guy who wasnt considering suicide
... Because now the 180cm is alive

So it's personal, no point is saying this is better or this is worse or he or she will have less impact by doing this surgery. It's yourself. You decide if it's worth for you. Only you can decide for yourself

Thank you so much, both. You guys really understand me lol. Look at this pity man, talking as if this place is his father's property! People need to man up. Have some respect. Again, thank you brothers.

As O_99 said "not to mention that height neurosis hits everyone differently" EXACTLY! Just because I'm an average guy or other people who are average or tall, they might still be obsessed in a high level!

Ghkid, excellent. Every word you said are more than true. I hope one day everyone will be as understanding as you.

Alamin, even though I'm probably younger than you, here is your life lesson: If you want to change someone's opinion, be nice rather than cussing!

There are 2 seperated things which are the same in the end.
1- statistically being short
2- FEELING short no matter what your height is

Someone really needs to read some psychological books! And also, a book related to etiquette!

Best Regards for those who deserves

Quote from: Alamin on September 08, 2020, 06:16:29 AMHey body builder i think u can still do monorail+LON femurs..its not hth bad..maybe a bit cumbersome thn stryde but far less expensive..and results are nearly same.

Dude, externals on femurs is a big no, even eith monotrails and LON-LATN.
Also, no respectable doctor offers that option because for femurs internals only is the only way to go.
And Stryde is by far the best nail out there, so only that is an option for me.
But too expensive unfortunately.

If I did tibias however, externals only would have been my choice again and again. But with tsf and not monorails cause it is by far the safest way of doing LL. But we are offtopic.

All these discussions are not quite useful if the surgery itself is not safe. If a surgeon who could get it done and knows the procedure inside out chose not to, there must be a good reason for it.

Dont use people with body dysmorphia as examples or inspiration. For them this might be worth it despite the risks.

To me some one as "sane headed" and smart like Dr. Kevin Debiparshad's personal take on the matter is very important.

even he thinks "yea this surgery exists, but I dont wanna do it for myself. I have some things going in life like Im married and good career. I dont want to risk any long term problems by doing this surgery"

To me that says a lot!

Did u really😅..i am really sorry bro i am so sorry..i was in a very bad mood lately..actually since a few days....i just came to the forum today and i dnt knw y i just wanted to speak   here for no reason..dont take it srsly bro..and this is also for anyone else whose sentiments i hurt..we are all bro and sis here..we all face the same problem more or less..so we shld help each other in whtever way we can but smetimes things do go sideways..i apologize on my behalf..sorry mate..but A i think you shld be a bit more conservative and thoughtful with wht u write coz u knw there are guys who wld never reach ur goal or ur stats even with cll so we shld be mindful not to hurt anyone's sentiments coz u know height is subjective in a way and setting a benchmark is not a very good idea..u and i may be lucky tht we can think abt getting to above 6 feet mark but some of our other brothers aint tht lucky enough..and so rather be self obbsessed with ourselfs we should think about collective options and wellbeing for all future llers including us....and ofcourse wht u have r8 now is good..it urs enjoy it but putting em here on the forum in a irrevalent manner is i guess pretty gross and idiotic somehow..at last sorry for my misbehaviour i love u bro u a great guy just with a bit on the younger side with the mindset😅..but am it will change coz wid age comes wisdom and maturity.

At ur current height i guess u r pretty much ok..coz u also have a muscular body so things really do tend to get manly on ur account..coz i know some of my friends who are muscular and also at ur height and belive me they sinply slay..even way good looking physically then some of my 6ft and above frnds..coz they are akinny and some are just obese....so its not a very real neccesity for u to get the femurs done.

Not really. Actually country shouldn't really be used to measure this.

People move all the time. But you can't change your height and race.

Being 160cm as a man is a death sentence in terms of being physically attractive regardless of what race he is.
