Quote from: YellowSpike on April 07, 2016, 06:06:00 PMYeah...my thoughts exactly. I'm 173 at night, and while it's a great improvement, it's still on the short side. I feel like at 175/176 and above, you might still feel short sometimes, but more often than not, will feel generally average and good about your height.

I want to do external tibias with Dr. Catagni...the only issue is time!!

we have the same goal / height
How many cm do you want to do ?

I only want 2.5-3m more. Just want to be a strong 5'9" at night. I genuinely think I'd be happy at that point. I'm sure I'll still feel short a good amount of the time, but I know I'd never be seen as objectively short at that point.

i am 173 at night,
 but yeah mine complex actually worsen when i moved  to Canada, people here are really taller.
That being said, at 173 i can't really say that mine height have been a Huge handicap , obviously 5'8 does not give me any points..probably..maybe a slight negative.Some women did call me short, but the ones that did were actually just 5'3 or even 5'2 kind of women, Which is so ironic  5'7 and more who want ll do you know the reason of your complex?

i think the fact that i could change mine height......when we know we have the power to change something rather than live with it.
it's hard to get over LL. i think starting height is less of an issue, knowing that we can do something about it really affects the decision making process.

i wish to be 5'10 - 5'11 . i feel that even an inch have a difference, i was wearing boots the other day mine housemate at mine eye level was already looking upwards to me

currently still in the process of saving up to afford a good doc, do it once do it good !!

It honestly seems like half of the members here live in the Dinaric Alps to say 5'9 is short. I've seen comments like that on multiple threads. At least they seem to have diminished in frequency with the years.

Outside of some very specific countries and social circles (White North American/German/British/etc college students), why would anyone feel short at 175cm? To post that in forums where most members started out under 165cm (5'5), and just wanting to have a normal life after breaking their legs, is absurd... By the way, I'm not directing this at you, Theophilo. I have just been reading some old threads and this kind of mentality doesn't help anyone here.

It's one thing if you have BDD at 175~180cm, and it's another to say that's short to the members here.

Come from germany there's definitely girls above 5'7 - 5'8 depends a lot on origin country. In my opinion anything above 5'10 is acceptable. I don't care about this anymore since I'm 6ft now but I always felt really short under 5'10

I think you have it wrong with the conversion.. Like anyone who is from Europe...

 You were basically 5'8.7 grew to almost 5'11.

 How tall are you in cm now?
