Don't judge.. Anyone should get it done

Having been around the world post-LL and then coming back to the west, I can state (which should be obvious) without doubt that your height will be relative to the masses of the country. In Mexico and India I felt absolutely giantess at 182-184cm that it felt grotesque to be that tall. Now that I've been back living and working in the states and Canada I feel downright average and still often feel small next to both men and women. At work I am still midrange height level at best. There are a ton of 188+cm people in these countries - not a lot you can do about that. It would be simpler to move to a different county than aspire to that realm of height, I suppose...

I'm suprised with the lack of support.. I was never asking for peoples negative oppinions.. I was simply giving a positive oppion to anyone else who was thinking of doing it.. I'm an average height guy wanting self confidence which will turn make me a very happy person despite what anyone else thinks of it

In capital city and
new generation maybe a little bit higher
Teenager with good family now 180
Not bias , but it upon region
In Asia , in big city (east and soutth east asia)
Average in capital city is higher than every part
Then other  region bring average down
In Thailand now 17-20 years old guy are 174-181 (only capital)
In soeul now 17 - 20 year old guy 178-183
In Beijing now 17-20 years old guys are173-179
Do not look for whole country
To wittness ur eyes you can see them in university

Since my 177 is also small in capital society
but a lot bigger when compare with people from other province
But also in other part average can go down for 5 cm

Strong english. Is that really true though I know south korea has a vast wealth divide but it seems strange that there should be that big a difference. If young koreans in an unrban environment grow to 180CM that would be about 6CM taller than the national average, perhaps you are refering to North Koreans when you speak of rural families?

@Descreteuser let's not inflate the height of various populations I understand how you might feel short at 181CM in a western nation but the idea that some people on this forum entertain is that 185-188CM is tall and yet that is only 4-7CM taller than your current height. Try standing on your toes, do you feel tall compared to other men? If the answer is yes then you are not short to begin with.

Where do you get these statistics from? A quick google search gives me

China avg - 167
Korea avg - 173
Japan avg - 170
Thailand avg - 170

LOL. The new generation is taller no doubt, but it does not justify a 7-10cm average difference. I am in an Asian university and I can tell you 175 and above is still considered very safely above average. 180 is tall. 170-ish is average. Out of say maybe 100 asian males I know (who are around my age), only about 5-10% at most are 180 and above.

But yeah, if you suffer from height neurosis you're likely to think everyone is much taller than yourself so it's forgivable.

The Japanese have enjoyed high living standards for the better part of a century isn't it strange they're still so short. I can only guess but I think height has a very strong genetic component. Why are the dutch so much taller than other europeans? Their health isnt that much better especially the french are very healthy. Nutrition and health only make a population reach their genetic potential, it might be that most asians just won't grow taller than europeans or africans purely out of genetic reasons.

He probably saw a couple guys who were taller than him and now his whole world is turned upside down.
