Quote from: LookingAround on February 20, 2016, 11:40:29 PMI really don't have a lot of problems in my life. I'm young, healthy, earning quite a bit of money, and have a good relationship with a very cute girl. I started college around 5'8 and grew to 5'10 by about halfway through my junior year at age 20. I noticed those two inches made a huge difference in gaining attention from females and respect from other guys. I think another 2 inches would pay off just as much or even more. If only I could find out how to do it without losing mroe than 6 months of work and / or paying $120k (I'd be fine with 60-80 but 120 like Paley and Guichet require is just too much).
As someone who has been between 5'5" - 5'11" via a combination of shoe lifts and LL surgery, I can vouch for the idea that being taller even by 2 inches can make a "huge difference in gaining attention from females and respect from other guys". But also as someone who's been through the LL process and paid $100k for his 8 cm, I can also tell you that it's less worth it going from 5'9" to 5'11" and probably even more so going from 5'10" to 6' compared to going from 5'6" to 5'9". That's what these shorter guys are saying and since I have experience in those height ranges, I can tell you that it's true.
I've been through all the mental torture and stuff and even have the opportunity to go through the whole process again on my tibias to get to 6'. And even though I have almost unlimited money and don't have to work, I wouldn't do it again. So while I'm not you and aren't in the same environment as you, I personally think that you will regret doing the surgery at your height. As you already said, you're healthy and have money and have a good relationship with a very cute girl. I believe it, because at our height, it is still easy to get girls. Would it be easier to get girls at 6'? Possibly. But is it really worth it? No. No girl or guy's respect is worth putting yourself through all this torture and financial loss. I don't mean no disrespect, but it's actually crazy or stupid that you'd be willing to go through all this just to impress other people. This is where I'd agree with Alu's opinion that therapy would probably help more than LL. Because you might end up replacing sadness about your height with sadness about how regretful you are for doing this surgery and destroying your perfectly working legs because some girl doesn't think you're tall enough for her.
It tends to be younger guys like early 20s and teenagers who have this train of logic/thought. I'm not putting you down based on your age, but you might be letting your dck/shallowness do the thinking for you, and that's bad. At around that age, you haven't accomplished much and people tend to base their opinions on others by superficial features like their height. But as you get older, you'll realize that it's better to get respect from the things you do and how much money you have rather than respect for your height. And as someone who had a lot of respect at even 5'6", I can tell you that nothing is really holding you back from what you're trying to accomplish at 5'10". Use the 120k to get yourself a nice car or nicer house. You'd get way more respect from people for that than just being 2" taller.
Again, I'm not trying to put you down, but instead trying to warn you that you probably would regret doing this surgery. The returns are so small at your height that you're better off just wearing shoe lifts.
