Can it even possible to do this privately?

People will not believe your lame excuses about gaining 2-3 inches from visiting a chiropractor or changing your posture unless you're the Hunchback of Notre Dame.  Especially if your knees are way higher or lower than a normal person's on the leg.  Frankster didn't tell his family about LL; told them he fell off the Great Wall and that's why he was coming home from China in a wheelchair.  He didn't even need to stand up before they asked him why his knees were so high.

Even if your family doesn't pester you with questions, it doesn't mean they believe you and it doesn't mean they aren't talking about your height increase behind your back.

Dear Medium Drink Of Water.

What is your personal story in the context of this thread? Did you marry after LL? Did you tell your wife about LL?

Facts. They're feeling guilty and stressing out before they even get LL, before they make up lies to hide their insecurity, imagine how stressed out they'll be constantly thinking they'll get found out lol.

You'd be surprised.

No normal person will pay attention if another person has a higher or lower knee.

Again...who cares? If they won't say anything to your face and you won't know about it, in practical terms is EXACTLY THE SAME as if they didn't know about it.

No.

Other than hearing about Frankster's experience with his family, I was at a middle school and a student remarked about how long my shins were.

Not usually, but they especially might if they knew you when you were shorter and are trying to figure out what's different about you.

Then why care about height?  Don't even get LL if you don't care what people think or say about you.

Did LL have a role to play in not getting married @Medium Drink? That is pretty much the very focus on this thread. Getting married is one unique point in life when you become close family with someone not blood related. And if LL is a reason for that person to reject you, your dear secret is out there with a random person you didn't marry.

This is a pretty interesting topic. I'm curious how many people who do LL end up getting married. I can think of several positive outcome cases of LL in the forum but where they ended up not choosing to get married.

It's probably best to get married and then do LL after convincing your wife

Well, I think the answer for this question shows the difference between people that were REALLY SHORT (like me before LL, 165cm) and had to face actual heightism and people the are average or tall and just have height dysphoria.

My short height NEVER BOTHERED me personally to be honest, but I was constantly treated badly by other people because of it - specially by women - and they would TELL TO MY FACE THAT I WAS TOO SHORT.

It wasn't a imaginary thing of thinking that people are talking behind my back about my height or feeling bad because other guys were taller. If I hadn't faced direct discrimination because of my height (specially from women) I wouldn't have done LL.

I had - in more than one case - beautiful women that would have sex with me but would refuse to let anyone see us together in public afterwards because they were embarrassed by my height. People would say things to me that would be unacceptable if it was about race, like a fashion model that was a friend of a friend telling me that I was a "half-person" because I was short.

So yeah, I don't care what people think if I don't know about it. But I do care if I am discriminated against, which is what happens when you are a male and below the 5% percentile of height.

But as far as I know, no one is discriminated because "their knee is a little lower".
