I'm 5"7 1/2 (171.5cm). The title pretty much explains it. I would feel like a man if I was like 177-180cm but 171 just doesn't do it. I feel like a "boy".. Anyone else feel this way?
I agree 100%, I feel like a less worthy man. How tall are you btw?

So point being, as real as your think yor feelings are, just remember it's all in yor head, and guess what you need (especially considering your comments).
No I agree that it's all in my head. I seen psychologists in the past and none were able to help me, I was open for help but the height neurosis just doesn't go away.

Ok I measured myself at night and morning. Morning height = 172cm || Night height = 171cm.
I'm thinking of doing external tibias for 5cm. MAX 6cm and I'll only push from 5 to 6 if doctor gives me the green light, if not I will be more than happy with the 5cm.
Quote from: The Kaiser on December 19, 2016, 05:06:15 PMif he gave you the green light for Max 7?
That would be quite tempting I'm not going to lie, however from what I've read on several diaries the "safer" number for tibias is 5cm and after 5cm is where the problems start. Now I'm not going to get greedy (I would be happy with 5cm and VERY happy with 6cm) , but say the doctor gave me green light to go for 7cm and I'm at 6cm, I would really have to evaluate my situation. I would like to say I would stop at 6cm even if I got a green light to go for 7cm as being 177cm would make a VERY happy man and I wouldn't want to risk for another cm. Then again, in the heat of the moment things can change.
Quote from: IwannaBeTaller on December 20, 2016, 11:41:00 AM7 cm would make you 178 if I calculated correctly.
Yes correct. 177 would mean the world to me. That's the number I want to hit and put everything behind and move on with life. As for wanting to be 180 (my username), after reading a lot, I figured that 9cm in 1 surgery would be too much, so I won't risk doing 9cm. At 177
I'll slap on some airmax's and say I'm 180 
Quote from: IwannaBeTaller on December 20, 2016, 01:04:38 PMI'm 171-172 and I think external tibias with a moderate goal of 5-6 cm would be the best and cheapest option for me too. I think 177 is a beautiful height, the number looks pretty nice too: 177. I could of course try to be 180 or more but I want to be a moderate person and I hope 177 will be enough for me to find peace with my height.
Yeah lol the number looks nice. Which doctor are you thinking and when?
Quote from: tobeornot301 on December 20, 2016, 02:23:31 PMI am 1.63 and i would love to be 171.
I would not be here if i am 1.71 
There was someone I read about who was 177cm who did like 5-6 cm. I was like I wouldn't be here if I was 177cm. 
In the end it's very personal and everybody has their own personal reasons.
