no matter how much people stress on genetics, I believe genetics plays insignificant role in the height of offsprings, food/diet, environment, heath/life habits play much more significant role.
Mom 5’1
Dad 5’5-5’6
Me 5’6.5
Not surprised with the outcome at all. Both my parents are the runts of the family. My aunts are 5’6-5’7 and all my uncles are 5’10+.
My parents just got some (recessive)? short genes and since they both had them I got them as well.

I honestly dont care if im short. The only reason why im doing CLL is because I cant stand dealing with heightism. If there was no heightism i would just stay my short height.

I don’t really believe in heightism because I’ve seen a lot of short men who are very happy and successful romantically, socially, professionally etc... and as for short women well... It’s usually not even a factor they think about, I know a lot of 5’-5’2 girls who love being “fun sized” and if they ever feel short (for conferences or professional work or w/e) they wear 4 inch heels and they’re fine...
as I’ve said from day 1: I’m really skeptical as to how much randomly adding 2-4 inches to someone’s legs can truly improve their life. I have no doubts that there is a big difference in total life experience when you average the lives of 5’5 men vs the lives of 6’3 men, but both are 10th/90th percentile extreme, and I feel like everyone within a standard deviation of 5’10 probably has overall a similar life or other factors that significantly outweigh height (good looks, good money, good social skills) or BAD forms of those factors that detriment from their height
It’s really all about the brain. I have met some people with truly wonderful brains: very charismatic, productive, forward thinking people who really aren’t that attractive or that tall but absolutely just breeze through life and have no shortage of romantic partners or friends because of how contagious their personality is. On the other hand, I have met some very anxious and very negative people who have mental breakdowns and cry every time something in their life goes wrong and overreact to just about anything and interpret the world as being out to get them.
I’m really skeptical how much my life will truly change going from 5’6.5-5’10 the average.
When I was a freshman in college I thought I was doomed because everyone in college was much taller than high school, but now that I’ve found a good friend group, dated a few girls, and had a few hookups, that idea is starting to fade and just seems like some hazy juvenile delusions...
I plan on doing 2 inches w/ femurs first and then taking it from there. Honestly, I truly don’t think my life will change that much, like I don’t know what people expect: they go from 5’6.5 to 5’10 nd then they get promoted to CEO and supermodels start offering them bjs? Like... you realize there are a lot of miserable 5’10 males who have absolutely no success in any aspects of their lives as well?
Granted this is after my life experiences. Maybe had I been unable to “get the girl” and I had a poor experience where she rejected me and told me it was because of my height I’d feel different: but again, there are people with “Good brains” who would skip on and have no problem finding someone else because they have good brains (I am not one of those people, it would have probably destroyed me). Also, I’d imagine if I was say like 5’3 or something where you’re shorter than like 80% of girls (honestly a baseline prerequisite for most romantic relationships, as most women refuse to consider someone shorter than them), then maybe I’d feel very very differently about this whole heightism thing and feel much more bitter.
Thats good that you dont believe in heightism. But for me I know that heightism is a reality. And it has been for me for quite some time. So CLL is my option to escape that.
heightism is real , thats for sure , a lot of us have experienced it for many years, and yes , LL could change your life a lot, specially if you are shorter than 5´7

While heightism exists, many here seem to use it as a scapegoat to blame anything but themselves for a lack of success in X area.
If you're not considered really short for your gender, or have tried to work as a model or as some sales representative for a company, chances are you never experienced a more tangible form of heightism.
Also, there's already a thread on this topic somewhere in the off-topic section.
