Honestly I had enough of being rejected for my height and being just treated as a friend. This emotional pain I suffered from a recent rejection. Enough is enough. Be a taller man or be in a wheelchair. What more could I lose? I could never be considered a real man and always seen as a pity dog at my height. This solidifies my will to do it.

Go to a reputable doctor and you won’t end up in a wheelchair. It’s not a 50/50 coin flip of being taller or being in a wheelchair but you need to accept limited mobility during the process even with a weight bearing option.
hahaha, There are few things in this world that release as much energy as a broken heart.
Out of curiosity, what is your starting height?
And good luck to you on your journey, hope you achieve the life of your dreams.
164, hardly even considered by girls.
I actually think this really is a valid reason. I can absolutely understand you and I think if you do this a good motivator is key. The process is far beyond easy and you will need to keep your head up during your time. Remember that you are doing this to overcome that ty past and be a new you. I try to think like that at least.

What is your target height?
I did CLL about 1.5 years ago. I was 5'5" and change and ended up being around 5'8". I am at peace knowing that I will never be a part of the 6-foot-club, and I get that. However, I heard all the classic lines when I was younger..."If only you were taller" or "You're so short" or my personal favorite..."you would be perfect if you were tall." I heard them all dude. I am not married, and have no kids...and yes, I do blame that on being short. When I was in my 20's and early 30's those were the formative years of serious relationships and marriages, and if you're under 5'10", you don't even register on any woman's radar at all. I was tired of all the "jesterism" that was needed in order to make up for my lack of height. I had to do everything 10 times harder in order to yield one fourth the results that taller dudes got. I had/ have multiple social-circles and friend groups, and I will give you one guess who the only habitually single guy was. You guessed it. Don't misunderstand, I have had some interesting experiences and all, but nothing all that serious. While I did get CLL done, I feel that getting it done in your late 30's, you miss that advantage of the increased female attention. I could have used the extra height in high-school, college, and being a younger adult. CLL is a double edge sword for many people...when you need it the most in your life, you can't afford it, and when you can afford it the most...you don't need it (as much) anymore. The younger you are, the quicker you need to get this done, it only makes sense that you get more time and use out of your investment. Why bother in my late 30"s then? It's one thing to be the shortest guy in the room, I mean...somebody has to be, right? But did I have to be the shortest guy in EVERY room, EVERY time??? So, while I am not the 6 foot dude, I do feel quite a bit better having done it. It's kind of funny how the entire "body-positivity" movement only applies to women, and totally excludes height altogether. And as far as the women go, they are going to have a very difficult time when they realize that only 13% of US men are 6 feet and up. That's it. So for all these women who are part of the "6-foot-or-no-man-at-all" club, they will have a very hard time when it comes to realizing they can't have it all, and that time is upon us now, and it's about due.

Damn that's terrible. It makes me sad knowing you had to live your "best time" like that. Very tragic experience. I hope you can find and keep your inner peace though. Everyone who can do LL at a young age should be thankfull (myself included).
Wise words
“Jesterism” hahah summed it up nicely.
These expectations, it’s all Bs really tho isn’t.
Worst thing is I did not know LL even existed during those “crucial” times.
Would not have been able to afford it so....
Been living with it (managing) so makes one think is it really worth shelling out the cash.
All the best lads
