Where do you live? In the United States, you're average at worst.

Austria, Vienna to be precice. I haven't seen statistics about the average just height for Vienna. The average at the army examination (every young austrian male has to do it) for my group was 180,4 (we received a sheet with our specific data compared to the average). We were about 200 guys between 17-19, idk wether it's enough to prove it or not.

no one told me I was short.

and it didn't get any change from finding out about it online.

I knew it was a problem when I was 14, when little children were taller than me, I didn't care if adults(close to my age) were taller than me unless they dwarfed me, however when the simple fact that children sooo young were taller than me. I knew in that moment that it would be embarrassing.

because I felt like I was in the body of a child. whether ll exists or not, we will all feel like children. imagine going to school to pick your kids up and the students/kids are all taller than you. whether ll exists or not this is reality for you. and you will feel it.

FP - what was your starting height?

I'm thinking that instead of posting what the new "average height" is for the "young generation," maybe we should keep track of the growing average height of people who want to do LL. I feel like on this website, 6ft is the new 5'8". Sad. But money talks.....

how many were 17 yo, and at which hour were they measured? (just to determine the height loss)

i travelled to vienna 4 years ago, and i would have said the average is 180 cm, based on simple observations, so i can conclude, with all the due respect to the mental cases who get mad when i say the average height for a young guy is 180 cm, that i'm very accurate when i guess height. Anyone else kind of wish they had never discovered LL?
On the other hand, that's pretty normal since i'm an engineer and as an engineer, i have to have a good sense of  estimating lenght

I think Dr. Paley regrets it in some aspects.

I had a good starting height.
I am not short, but I still get discrimination for being under the average.

I am 171cm.

perhaps at the time of this incident I was a few cm shorter.

my height is a great height, but at this height you need to go to the gym and develop a sexy body(which I do). if you do this you will actually be quite respected and live a perfectly normal life.

however there will be a subsect of the population of girls who will still not date you, usually the more attractive ones.

however after starting my ll journey. my attitude like yours has started to shift. I almost don't even give a fk if a girl was to say I am short, not that it has ever happened.

it goes back to the post I mentioned where when your in a lot of pain and your body is "damaged" you think back to your strong healthy body of the past, and you just think...... I don't really care anymore. because you have a new found value In how you used to be.

however I don't have any terrible things going wrong with my surgery. its just the usual things, 1 thing that really did it for me was this blasted knee pain, combined with decreased range of motion which is hard to fight with knee pain. the knee pain is probably due to a pin which im getting taken out, and the knee pain is subsiding naturally with my efforts.
