As title, but will post it within 5 yrs.
Surprisingly I cannot find out any diary of Paley's Option 5 but I am fixated on it so I will be the first writer of Paley Option 5 but I am worried that this forum will shut down within 5 yrs and I cannot share my surgery experience.

I think I will keep active on this forum at least until I do Option 5 cuz I discovered this forum is my paradise of topics and informations about height and LL, not like China's domestic forums where are persuading you out of doing LL while at the meantime bluffing about heights like 12 y.o's average height in China is 182cm.
Quote from: Audous on February 06, 2022, 02:51:59 AMWhat are some famous forums in China?
Hell no never step into those stholes cuz you will get bombarded with toxic ideologies and viewpoints like if you are under 180cm at 12 y.o you are likely to be suffering from bad genes or malnutritions.
But if you are really a warrior I can introduce BaiduTieba, Weibo, Zhihu(similar to Quora), Tianya, Douban, Hupu these forums for you but nowadays China's Genzs are more leaning towards Douyin and Kuaishou.

Yeah
Quote from: Audous on February 06, 2022, 03:04:07 AMDoes this crazy height inflation happen only online (182cm avg for 12 yr old) or does everyone seem to inflate their heights in real life too?
In reality I haven't come across any but inflating height is not uncommon in China's real life. For myself I knew of 3 college students in my class who respectively announce their heights as 168, 168 and 170, but three of them can only look at me at the same eye levels when we are walking and I am only 162cm at night barefoot.
What's worse, one friend of mine who is into anthropometry revealed that 90's overseas Chinese students in America inflated their heights by 3cm on average, and recently a bad news came that in one school in Jiangsu Province named Xishan Senior School, the new Senior 1 students inflated their own heights by 8cm on average.
Quote from: five_six on February 06, 2022, 03:38:21 AMI'm convinced the majority of guys lie about their height. A ton of people at my high school say they're 5'11-6', but a couple of my actually 6' friends are clearly taller than them. Hell, I plan on saying I'm 6'1 once I cross 183cm. Shoes and socks!
Jeez, seems like tall ppl are also doing these baby things LOL. But have you come across any guy who inflated the 'average height' of certain regions like China's users online?
Quote from: five_six on February 06, 2022, 04:21:33 AMI guess the closest thing I've heard is a lot of people at my school who were surprised to find out the average American male is 5'9. They thought it was 5'10-11.
Maybe they were referring to White men. 5'9 is all ethnics' average height.

Unfortunately none. But you can google translate although I dunno if you can still understand.
