Quote from: Thatdude950 on October 09, 2015, 04:34:23 AMThere'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.

how am i going to use " western privilege" if even the girls have it?

It's playing the hand you're dealt. Obviously you wouldn't go over there & rub it in their faces. And you wouldn't just be there for girls - there's a lot to learn and experience outside of women by travelling outside your comfort zone.

What?

Quote from: Penguinn on October 11, 2015, 06:35:29 AMI guess I'm different then. Cause my close family & friends know about it and I have more reasons than simply getting laid. But I really think it's dumb for an American to move to Asia because "I feel taller there". The first world privileges you lose will kill you from the inside. If you want to suggest an alternative to LL, just working on confidence or "game" would work.

Have you traveled? Your first world privilege isn't lost, it's accentuated .. especially if you're white. This isn't fair, and I feel for the ethnic guys, but it is what it is. I don't know how you can call travel 'dumb' and leg lengthening reasonable. Calculate the potential gains/losses. People won't treat you differently because of 2 inches! But they do treat you differently because of wealth, class, nationality, race, character and ... yes, appearance - but 2 inches isn't going to markedly affect this! And depending on where you are in the world, the way you gain/lose from these traits will be significantly different.

lol it makes way more sense to get LL than live in another country just because people are shorter.

and you act like it would be a holiday, but you would have to permanenly live there forever as as soon as you return to your own country you will be short again.

also stop saying 2 inches, a more typical gain is 6cm, so lets assume everyone at least gets 6cm/2.4inches.

Compared to LL it's not a holiday, it's heaven. And it's not just because others are relatively shorter. It's because the traits you have are more valuable there across the board. Your wealth's more valuable, your social capital is more valuable, your nationality is more valuable, and yep your height is more valuable too.

And sure, replace 2 inches with 2.4 inches. Doesn't change anything.

how is permanenly living in an asian territory where people don't speak english as their primary language like 'heaven'.

while there is a slight social advantage to being caucasion in an asian territory i'd rather just be myself living amongst other caucasians living a normal life withouth height discrimination.

the main issue is height, and if you move to an asian territory you will be about 6cm taller, it is the same as LL in terms of benefits so by your point doing both things is 'useless', but now instead you have to learn a whole new language, LL only takes about 3 months anyway then your back home, you just live semi disabled but in your country that speaks english for a few months then your back to normal.

It doesn't have to be Asia, & there are plenty of places where English is widely spoken, & business is conducted in English. Dubai & Singapore are good examples. And it doesn't have to be permanent. You have a better chance of losing your height neurosis abroad by changing your perspective, than by adding 2.4 inches.

The damage that has to be done re: your wealth, time and health for 2.4 inches from LL is not reasonable. Worse still is that the doors you believe having those extra 2.4 inches will open don't exist.

well my point still stands, if you think 6cm is not worth anything, then why move to a shorter country in the first place, is it to test out what it's like to be 6cm taller? if so then that's a actually a good idea.

and no if you want to maintain your relative height you would have to stay there, if you get shorter again you will feel the same as you did before.

So you would leave your family, friends, traditions/culture and all your first world privileges and move to Asia?

Think you got the wrong idea here. I meant your safety, good streets, hygiene, accessibility to things and so forth- a lot of first world privileges(I can't be assed to name all) would be left behind. Just to be 2 inches taller, which is retarded.

If I was preparing to drop at minimum tens of thousands of dollars, but probably closer to 6 figures -  and write off 1 + years of my life - I would absolutely try a move before that. I'm not sure if you young guys can comprehend how financially disastrous doing this is, let alone all the rest of the issues with it.

You think there's a lack of safety, hygiene and infrastructure in Singapore? Come on. Dubai, Turkey ... (even with the recent bombing) ... great infrastructure. & even one rung down ... Malaysia, Thailand ... all amazing places to live on western money.

Dubai and Singapore are indeed awesome and first-worldesque. But what's the average height there?
