I would say the social elements are by far the biggest downsides tho. I could easily live with the rest.
Social elements?
Quote from: ilovescience on July 29, 2022, 02:20:50 PMHi are you from America? I think American younger generation are getting taller. 6'4 still considered tall but not uncommon. In colleges or high schools today probably every 50 people there will be one 6'4 taller, correct?
Yet another ''younger generation avg height 6'8'' bs post

this forum is called limb LENGTHENING forum for a reason, take your humblebragging complaints back to preddit
So true. The prick is here to troll. You're not Andre the Giant pall, your height is FAR from being a problem to your normal life. What a knobhead, saying he wants to get a height reduction surgery because people talk about his height on nights out. There's people in this forum wanting to kill themselves because of how short they are and this retard is showing off his problems like 'ít's too hard for me to lean my empty head when I'm going through doors'' and ''I stand out at crowds''.

Sir, why are you so rude?
I didn't mean average height 6'8 im younger generation.
I meant probably one out of every fifty students in America, there could be one person taller than 6'4!

I think we a new community hangout called "personality transplants" .. lots of viable patients on this thread.

In your delusional world grown men think its enjoyable to sit around and talk about the mindnumbing subject of genetically gifted height all day and everyday with complete strangers! WAKEUP PAL!!!!!!!!!
Quote from: Mrtall123 on July 28, 2022, 10:27:23 PMCurrently around 6'7 (201cm) and considering having femoral shortening to reduce height as it's a major pain in the ass! The major question is how much?
As far as I can see a 6cm reduction should take me to just under 6'5 which is probably gonna be where things become a bit easier (6'4 is the "ideal" cutoff point IMHO so its not far off)
Do folks think a 2-2.5 inch height change is enough feel different? Most LL's seem to be wanting to do way more?
I don't know how the body reacts to having "residual soft tissue" after removing a piece of bone of this length. But reading how you described your daily problems, go for 2.5 inches. Being over 190 cm is still very tall. You can also measure how much height you lose during the day along the spine, or check proportions relative to your tibias to come to a conclusion.
Being too big is a valid issue, I don't see why short people (who are still taller than me) get mad. This is the proper forum to discuss even these topics.

Was thinking of going for 3 inches: 4.5-5cm on femur, 3cm on tibias. This would be 6'4 exactly. This would reduce the strain on any given segment and improve proportions but of course the risks of non-union, blood clots, foot control etc is higher as well as significant scarring. However this is my dream height.
Other option is 6cm on femurs ONLY. (would be basically just under 6'5). I still am not convinced I'll be free of the H. dysphoria here though now its so entrenched in my psyche.
Paley told me even 10cm was doable and the body does recover somehow to acceptable levels.
This dude probly 5'6. Look at his username "mrtall" my god so cringe lol
You can ask LL doctors about it directly because 99.9% of users here are fixed on limb LENGTHENING surgeries.
