Discrimination Against Average-height Limb Lengtheners

Edit Post

Quote from: Body Builder on July 02, 2017, 10:56:43 AMNo, at your height there are reasons to do LL and certainly your life will improve a lot if things go well.
That happens with every less than average height man or at max completely average. Not even an inch more though.

And I never said that 8cm is a safe amount for tibias. Never. For femur yes it is safer but still not so much and I think that the aesthetic result will be a little bad for someone who does one segment only to lengthen so much.
I am 5.9 and I plan for a femur LL too but I won't go further than 6.5 cm because I want better results in terms of proportions and functions and because above 5.11 height stops to matter.
I suggest you to do the same and lenghthen not more than 7cm max, even in femurs.

Oh yes, definitely not in femurs lol. But on this page: (Not letting me post the link, but it was in Tall's femur diary on a different forum)

You actually did say "You should have stopped at 8cm imo and continue your life without any problem and the need of  doing another LL." to Tall, so I thought that was implying you could do 8cm in femurs without any consequences.

I originally wanted to go at least 7.6cm, however I changed my goal to do 8cm because with it I'll be 183 solid (starting height 175) rather than under it. Do you think there's a big functionality difference between 7cm and 7.6cm, and 7.6cm and 8cm? If I truly had to stop earlier than 8 to not compromise function, I'd have no problem if it's at least in 7's lol

We are way off topic.
Some people can handle 8cm without much problems while others struggle to get 6cm.
Most of people can get 7cm in femurs but from that and above things get pretty hard especially if you don't get IT band release.
It is stupid to want to reach 6ft and risk for that while you could become 1.82 possibly much easier .
Anyway all these have been mentioned again and again. Everyone is responsible for his actions.
If you believe that becoming 6ft is more important than be healthy and functional, then risk for it. It's your body after all.

Because at 5.9 (or 5.85 during the most of the day to be honest) I still feel and see that my height is my weakest point.
I have a good face, I hit the gym frequent and have build a built body, I have a better than average job (no way I am rich though) and generally speaking I improved myself almost as much as I could but the only thing I am less than average is still my height. And on dating I see that it is so important that, although I am way better than the average man of my country in every aspect, I can't do a so nice first impression as taller dudes and most women are very strict with me saying that I am not as tall as they wished or that I would have been much better if I have been taller and all these. Also my ex gf uses to tease me about my height although I was way taller than her (she was 5.4) and huge compared to her now bf who is 6.1 btw.

So Christopher, unlike many tall people here, I imoroved anything I could and if you may, believe my words, I am better in almost any aspect than the average man.
But my lack of height, or to be more specific the lack of being comoletely average or even better 1-2 inch more than that, makes me feel worse than the average man in the eyes of many women out there and I really find it stupid to work so hard in all other aspects to compensate for the only thing I can't change physically.
So I don't want to continue compensate for anything and the only thing I lack, even not much as I still have successes in dating and in other aspects of my life, is height.
So the only way for me to feel complete and have more success with women who most of the times are obsessed about men's height is unfortunately another one LL.

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you a double-standard. In other words he's just saying in a lengthy way: other average height people dont deserve to do the surgery, but I DO. I don't care how you phrase it; 5' 9 to 5'11 is average in virtually all Western nations. At least I am capable of admitting that I did it just once for happiness. You can't even bring yourself to admit you're doing it twice for your ego (exhibited by the underlined quote)
