Dude, Descreteuser chill out. The biggest issue right now is you tone and how it's coming off. I'm not gonna argue that 5'7 isn't short; in the same manner that 6'0 is short next to 6'5. It's all relative man. Most of us here at the forum want to escape the fate of being "short" but that's somewhat, also relative to our starting height. So when a person bellow event he 5'7 mark get's told that even that is short, even if he were to reach it, it strikes subtle nerve. I wouldn't call it a disillusionment, because if we did then the same could have been applied at your own case lets face it.
The last point I want to make is that, as I said, since this forum is built upon the pretext that we want to escape shortness, one must realize the relative and sensitive nature of this. There is a very toxic tone to that word "short" in this forum. Focusing on what society considering short is incredibly toxic, it can make you think dark hopeless things. So please we can be realistic about it, but don't be jerks in context as to how you use that word.

people dont want to believe it is short.. but its just the truth.. theres no point trying to convince ourselves that it isnt short.. no point lying to ourselves.. sometimes the truth hurts, but thats reality.. everyone will benefit from limb lengthening, 5'7 is much better than 5'5 but stilldoesnt hide the fact that its short..
After LL if height neurosis go than that's great. But if it doesn't go than atleast you will feel you have tried everything.

best way to think of it is,, you are the best you can possibly be.. no one else youll ever meet would have been able to improve what you have improved if you did limb lengthening..
There's no objective cut off, it's all relative. There's plenty of places in the world where 5'7 isn't short, and plenty of places where it is. How many of you are white? Why aren't you guys cashing in on your western privilege card before chopping up your legs? 5'7 and white works fine in the middle east and asia. if you're fit and have money, it's like shooting fish in a barrel.
Middle east? lol sounds like a good plan, let us whities go to Syria and Iraq and be the fish in the barrel.
Erm ... Oman, Kuwait, Bahrain, Dubai, Iran, Turkey ... all great places with attractive women.
Ehh I'd rather stick to America lol. But yeah 5'7 is a point where you're not gonna be "discriminated."
yep, 5'7"or 5'11" doesn't matter, you're still gonna end up in jail if you kiss a girl in public, no discrimination!
plenty good social life over here, know lots of guys 5 7, not one of them considered short, its not a topic of conversation that comes up once with them.
different group of people i guess.
only people 5 5 have i seen with height issues, 5 6 is like a half way point really, i know about 6 guys exactly 5 6 and they are never called short.
thats a fact, for me, probably the same for the orthopedic surgeons i visited before LL, they weren't even 5 7, more 5 6.5, they said they were never called short and 'knew lots of guys this heigth and it isn't short'.
