Quote from: theuprising on June 05, 2014, 09:56:31 PMI believe 6'5 although very tall is still in that point of not being seen as too tall.
If I went for surgery I would be aiming for 6'3. I guess you'd agree that's moving into the ideal range.
Bare in mind, I would be broader in the shoulders than the average 6'3 guy, but with a 29 inch waist. My wingspan in around 6'6

Those would be awesome proportions for a 6'3 guy. Several studies have shown that longer arms and torsos relative to height are considered more attractive. Since you're already so tall and wouldn't be touching the length of your torso or arms, you'll probably have even "manlier" and more attractive proportions at 6'3. Best of luck with whatever route you choose to pursue.

Yes 6'3 is within the ideal range I agree however my point was to see how you feel at 6'5 as it may
be a big enough change where you don't feel the need for a second surgery.

Many thanks, I guess you can see why I am tempted (tripling my dating pool helps too 
)
Hey, dunno if this will make ya feel better, but at least you're not a 12' dude back in the Neolithic time when men were lucky to be 150 cm. You're not speared down for being a giant or Nephilim. I think you should count that as a win!

But really, 6'7" with a 29" waist??
If you fill out yo frame you'd be solid and respected (maybe even feared), not teased or feel awkward.
I held a measuring tape up to 6'7", after putting myself at 5'10.5" (average white guy) and my thought was "damn, that's tall, but not freakish tall". However, if a guy was skinny and that tall then the height would be more pronounced because it's all that will be noticed and exaggerated. You make people feel intimidated with your height presence but then they see you got no muscle or mass which means there's nothing to be intimidated about = cognitive dissonance which results in their teasing and you feeling awkward around a bunch of stubby, fatties (relative to you) who tease you.
You could probably use 60+ pounds on your bones.
I used this stuff back when I was scrawny (for you I'd recommend a target weight of 225 lbs). Take some this before, after and during workouts. http://www.amazon.com/Performance-AMP-Amplified-Mass-XXX/dp/B00278TZ36/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top
One of those tubs helped put 40 pounds on me in 2 months (more or less, this was 4 years ago and hard to recall). I have a fast metabolism too, which might be your issue.
Go for 6'4
google Marcus Schenkenberg to see what u can do at that height, body wise

Yh, he has very similar bone structure to me; he looked best when slimmer around 87KG in my opinion.

thanks for your message
putting on 40 pounds lean in 2 months is absolutely impossible even on the juice. The most post newbie gains Arnold ever put on in the early years is 25 pounds in a year and thats with 10x natural test levels; natural mesomorphic genetics and herculean determination
I have a 5% body fat and super leanness, which although is a hindrance in some respect does look really good with even some minor gains of 17 pounds i put on with the personal trainer in 5 months. But I will checkout the supplement.
I have a guy I knew at school who was tall and wiry like me, i met up with him a few years back and now he is 6'7 240 pounds, 10% bodyfat.. a pretty awesome site I must say; super alpha personality too... HOWEVER he still gave off those social exclusion vibes around groups of people... So I think, while if i was 220, wearing tight tops there might be more an inclusion feeling, I think its marginal... and with >8/10 facial aesthetics people are really drawn to you anyway no matter your build in my experince if you are well dressed.. its just once they do its too awkward trying to maintain conversation with any noise, or trying to kiss or build physical intimacy with people.
Don't get me wrong you can be super dominant at 220+ and really use it, however I don't wanna be that guy, its not my style; I'm more refined and fun think "lover" personality, and not a big burly bully jock type think "warrior" personality and have no intention to be.
It's possible to put on 40 lbs in 9- weeks and still look good if you're starting from an underweight position. Don't worry about lean muscle until you get some bulk to first be at your target weight. This guy gained as much weight as Arnold did in a year but did so in 5 weeks. Sure his body fat % went up, unlike Arnold, but it makes his frame look way more solid. http://bonytobeastly.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Obe-ectomorph-transformation-bony-to-beastly.jpg
I don't have any before picts, but this was pretty accurate to me before:

Here's me after about 5 months of while focusing on bulk in the first 2 months. Now I'm happy and just go for lean while maintaining body weight.

Get to 15% body fat and then pump it and the results would be phenomenal compared to starting at 5% (only in the case of starting underweight). I was around 5% when I started then I went up to 16% while converting it back down to 12%. I barely invest any time in lifting now, it's all about dieting and isometrics throughout the day. I only spend about 30 minutes a week of setting aside time to workout (mainly core).
And it's ok to be 220+ and up to 15% for you. That wouldn't be threatening but still solid. http://exerscribe.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/men-2.jpg
If there's just no talkin you out of it then I look forward to reading any diary you may make. It kinda blows my mind. You have something I always wanted.
lol like this was one of my recorded fights from a game called Vindictus. My character in this is over 6'7", as is my epic opponent.
But I could never be such a character, or some respectable role model hero, because I was born far below average to where I live. No amount of lifting or personal accomplishments will change that. Your issue is about being noticed too much, which you can actually turn to your benefit (teh point I'm trying to make), but the opposite can be heart-wrenching sometimes.
