He can do w/e he wants its his body, but that doesn't change the the fact that 175cm is barely below average and it matches with his wingspan. In shoes hes pretty much 5'10, I can't blame him for wanting to reach 6'+ tho. OP, if you don't have a problem with having a negative ape index go for it.

" Height - 171cm/5'7.3
Wingspan - 183cm+/6'-6'1
Goal - Height - 183-185cm/ 6'-6'1
Arms - 190cm/ 6'3 "
I hope ur not planning that in 1 surgery. altho totally possible but going beyond 7cm is not sane.
Ofc not, I'll do both segments. I'd like to be able to continue lifting after this. Most likely it'll be 12-14cm* split between tibias and femurs.
guys I get it, 5'9 is not that bad but it's a height I don't really sustain for long so I'd say I'm more like 5'8 during the day, 5'9 wearing shoes..
I am not happy with my height, I feel like a midget here in London..I compare my height with thousands of ppl everyday and I am rarely as tall as a white man, they're all taller like 90%.. I am as tall as many asians though. I had to endure 3yrs at university living in halls with 6'0+ brahs and I was among the shortest. I noticed these guys had no style whatsoever, bad looking faces but were pussy magnetizers solely because of their height and a bit of social skill/charisma. Throughout my Youth and now my early adulthood, I feel I have several qualities girls like and feel attracted to such as my facial structure, my hair, my eyes, my intelligence, my sense of humour, my honesty, my future prospects... but I just feel this layer of unease and girls give me the eye something's wrong and I'm pretty sure it's my height, because it's the only thing I don't have as a plus. The sxxual prejudice is real.. and so is in other aspects of life.So the point is, do I have to live an entire life of discontent revolving my stature? I don't think so... will my proportions be negatively affected? Most definitely. Put I can cope with that.. with this hindrance not letting me live my life to the fullest and not letting me feel good about myself, I can't. I just can't.. I am not even trying to justify undergoing this surgery because at the end of the day we'll do whatever the fk our minds tell us to. Gathering the money to do this and being bedridden for months won't be a walk in the park... but I can handle it.. I just wish I could taller today, not tomorrow
I know that feel, but its all in your head the average in the UK is not 6'0, it's 5'9 so for the most part I doubt many people think you're short. You're 174.5cm, right? that's 68.7 inches you can easily get away with saying you're 5'9, if you really wanna be 6'0 don't let us stop you, its not like you're attempting 8+ inches, go for it and don't let it get to you.

would 5'11 barefoot in england considered in the tall realm or above average realm
It'd be tall if you were in Japan, but it is above average, I used this site.

The break down is..
UK - 5'9 = 50% Average
5'11 = 75.3% Above Average
6'0 = 84.8% Kinda Tall
US -5'9.3 = 50% Average
5'11 = 71.9% above average
6'0 = 82.1% kinda tall

ThatGuy, average height in the UK is not 5’9, it’s 5’10.. the British are a bit taller than Americans.
Second, it’s just statistics, 5’10 is the average height in the UK accounting for all generations.
I am 100% convinced it is the older generations bringing the average down. If you take a sample of only younger people, let’s say born in the 80s and 90s the average is more like 6’0.
I observe a lot people here in London and white males are very tall, 6’0 and beyond. Occasionally you might see a short guy but not often. The same should apply to the US, even though I haven’t been there yet I’ve seen on the internet rumours that young Americans are pretty tall too.

Average in the US is definitely around 5’8”. Ive been walking around for 2 weeks now going to parks and the mall and shopping centers and dont see many young/older guys taller than me. Im at 5’8.5” now after finishing my cross-lengthening.

It's just statistics? Damn, I don't know what to say. I'll just walk away on this one.
