5'8 vs 5'10

Quote from: paco1 on June 24, 2017, 11:49:22 AMI think 5,8 is a very good height. You don't need this surgery.
You have another problems but not the height.
A height 2 inches less than average (at least in my country) can't be good.
Everything below average, especially by a not tiny amount, can't be good.
So of course someone may be much worse in other traits than 2 inches less than average in height but even then that height is not good. It is not a big problem but it remains a problem, while if someone is 5.10 his height is not a benefit but not a problem too.
From 5.11 and above height starts to become a benefit imo.

2 inches is a marginal difference. It's about half the length of a forehead, since 4 inches (10 cm) difference mean that the shorter person ends at the taller person's eye level.

2 inches can, however, be a massive difference to your self-perception simply because they can help you cope with your height better. You might still feel short at 5'10'', in many situations, but you can think that you are spot on average height, that you are the same height as Daniel Craig or other "alpha males" who are respected for being manly men. At least these coping mechanisms are what sometimes gets me through my days without wanting to kill myself.

I have worn lifts and have noticed a huge difference in attention from women.

Honestly women are so superficial that they don't notice your positive traits if you are below a certain height. Under 5'9 is where this happens. I am considering 4-5cms.

2 inches is a big difference percentile wise but after surgery it is impossible to be an alpha male.

My best bet is to just get rich and get the surgery. Unfortunately my athletic abilities will be compromised

You should do the surgery and go for 5 cm and then continue to use lifts. You can decide later when your financially more secure if a femur surgery would  be worth it. Don't  do 4 cm unless you have terrible complications. Something I realized was that with our age we could loose alot of that height gained  so its better to go for the most safest amount for tibia. Some might say 6 cm but to me 5 cm would be it.

The only thing I agree is that % wise, the change between 5'8 to 5'10 is bigger than let's say me going from 5'7 to 5'9. while you jump over 25% of guy I will "only" jump over 20%. Still, the difference between a 5'9 guy and a 5'10 guy is minimal. A big difference is usually seen at 9cm+.

Yes, but the percentile difference is only relevant if you do lab tests or something. You will not feel very tall at 5'10 and not very short at 5'8, because it's only a slight difference.

Why can't you be an alpha male after the surgery?

2 - 2.5 inches makes a huge difference. If you increase your height by 2 inches and wear shoes or boots that give you another inch or 2,it works out perfectly.

Something that I have noticed is that it's the long legs that are attractive. If you you have 2 people that are 5'10 and one has the longer legs, the one with the longer legs will appear taller.

Long legs is just aesthetically pleasing

There is difference between having long legs and looking like dwarf on stilts.
