5'8 vs 5'10

Quote from: YourSpaceBoyfriend on June 24, 2017, 05:26:10 PMThere is difference between having long legs and looking like dwarf on stilts.
Most people who lengthen only tibias at about 6cm or do both segments at 6-7 cm in each of them look very aesthetically compared to their pre LL looks and to people who are at that height normally because yves is right, longer legs are very aesthetical.

What you said happens only if you have very short torso compared to your feet pre LL or if you lengthen 8-9cm in your femurs only or if you lengthen crazy amounts in bot segments.
For the majority of LL'ers the aesthetic result is very good. There are other problems that come with LL but the aesthetical result is not one of them.

Quote from: IwannaBeTaller on June 24, 2017, 04:13:12 PMYes, 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?

You can't be an alpha male after surgery because your athletic abilities are diminished however being a semi crippled average height man is better than being short.

WTF is an alpha male? After LL you are not necessarily a semi crippled. Yes, you run slower, you are less agile, etc; but most of these abilities are not required to have success in life. Being crippled is not better than being short, you are mocking all the people who struggle just to walk... it is insulting. Also, lengthening only an inch is already noticeable. Only LL veterans know this.

Yes 1-2 inches is a huge difference I have been saying this all along and also although I have not lengthened my legs I do wear lifts and I do notice the difference from just 1-2 inches.

Alpha male is rather a strong character than body. Body only helps to some point.

You can't be an alpha male if you are short period so it doesn't matter anyway if you get lengthening or not. The best thing a short guy under 5'9 can do is get limb lengthening and focus on getting rich.

In which city do you live mrhandsome that you seem so distressed about your height?

You have a very wrong view about LL.
If things go well there is no way you'll end up semi crippled.
Of course if things go bad you may end up a complete cripple but this can happen in many surgeries.

So even I hate the term alpha male, yes after LL if things go well and you end up more than average height and you have a good face, you work out and have some social skills, you could end up a very successful man like if you were physically taller with all these traits.

The whole "alpha male" thing is bunk. Maybe you can't impress some dudebros. But that's fine.

If you want to be a confident, charismatic and successful guy, then you can do so being short. It is some extra work but not a lot to compensate for. Everyone admires/likes someone who is brave and over their own bullcrap regardless.

You shouldn't let something silly like your height (or even other people's judgements of you, because that's not your own bullcrap) hold you back from being the best version of yourself. Maybe I'm not the best person to say that... but it is true.

As for height and dating, I don't know, I notice some difference when I wear lifts (I am also 5'8") but I am seriously not sure if it is mostly my better confidence because lifts help shut up my neuroses. I don't think I will worry about being turned down for my height at 5'10/5'11, no. I have friends that height and it never happens to them.

But SpaceBoyfriend nailed it, it is not a good idea to do it for women. 2 inches, or even 4 or 6 inches, will not turn you from a guy who can hardly get a date  (if that's your real predicament) to a pussy destroyer. My advice with that is it seems certain kinds of women are much more likely to reject short men than others. Get to know or approach different kinds of women.

I agree the only problem is that athletic ability will be diminished and some girls look for that. But as a short guy you will never be a good athlete anyway so there is no point worrying about it. All and all leg lengthening is a good investment.
