Quote from: TIBIKE200 on July 30, 2017, 01:55:53 PM In italy average is 178-179 in israel it is 176. Israelis are shorter thank you. I get it you are extremely insecure. Dont state false facts.

The facts are these:
Italy average height of men : 1.76,5
Israel average height of men : 1.77

I am not insecure, I am realist and I can't hear a man with 7cm less than average height to feel "tallish" on Israel and not in Italy which has the same or less average height.
And no, in Italy average man is not 1.79 for sure, so speak with facts or don't say bs about "tallish" and all these.

You are extremely insecure. Let aside your comments about being "perfect in everything" besides height, your reaccuring remarks about 6'2+ looking lanky and bad all the time shows you are extremely insecure about your height (or just simply insecure in general).   
   Since you have joined this forum you have done nothing but continuesly repeat the same mantra about how being even a single cm shorter than average is horrible or what not. The fact that you did LL does not make you an authority about height and when it is ok for someone to do LL or when someone should feel bad about his height.
   You are just a narcissist who can't accept being less than an adonis and you try to justify your unaccomplished narcissism by telling people who feel good about their height (which doesn't correspond to your presumed "perfect" height) that they should feel bad and insecure.

So being almost 7cm less than average height in both countries makes you shorter than the majority of people and in no way "tallish".
I am 3-4cm less than average in my country and still I never feel "tallish" and most of men are at least a little taller than me. If I was 7 cm shorter than average for sure I'd feel even shorter.

So it is better to not exaggerate and Tibike you keep exaggerating about your height saying it is not a problem in dating and all these, while this can't be true as anything less (by a good amount) than average is always a problem.
And after all, if everything is fine (dating, people see you as "tallish" etc) then you shouldn't have height insecurity.
From the moment you have (and you are not insane like some 5.11 dudes who want LL) then you see that your height is not good .

Hey, leave him be. He was obviously pretty satisfied with his height in the situation he described, why try to destroy it? We are all here because we're unhappy with our height, so if he felt better at least for a couple of days, that's a huge victory for him. He might not even need to do this horrible surgery anymore.

I also disagree that an average to slightly below average height can not feel "tallish" in certain situations. If you hang out with a couple of friends, let's say 5 women and 2 guys, and only one of these people is taller than you, it can feel tallish.

You talked about facts. I gave you the facts about average in Israel and Italy, do you have something to comment about it exceot from your bs about me?
I always talk with facts when I am referring to numbers so accept your fault and stop talking about other things.

I have no problem with you being ok with your height, if you really are.
My problem is that you misrepresent the truth when you say that in Isreal a 5.7 man is about average and sometimes feels "tallish" and that a 5.7 man has no problems in dating and all these bs which does not exist in reality.

So if someone is ok with his height he has no reason to be here otherwise he is a hypocrite.
I am not insecure about my height, I just admit that it is not enough to not have problems in dating.
I am completely honest and speak the truth, I am not saying that I have no problems in dating, I feel "tallish" many times and all these and at the same time I want to break my legs to have a better height.
So the difference between us is not the problems we have with our heights but that I admit it openly and you are not.

Iwannabetaller, I don't want to destroy anyone.
I mentioned the fact that in Israel average height is the same or more than Italy so it is insane to say that you feel "tallish" on Israel and short on Italy.
I don't care if someone feels ok with his height or if he feels "tallish" if he hangs out with dwarves, I really wish anyone would feel ok with himself but the more away you are from average the less objectively good you are and imo, people with high inteligence can't feel ok if they are less than average in any aspect.

Does American people are tall ? Because it's weird, I'm actually curious how they can find so many 6'6 + people for NBA

It's easy to find them, just wait for them to play basketball in highschool and college then send a scout to go look at the good players. There are plenty of good players or even tall good players that don't ever play for the NBA because they didn't go to school or never were found.

I've also been to the Netherlands and did not notice people's height to be taller than, say, height of the average European or American.
