If I grow 2 cm I'll forget about LL

Edit Post

Srs. If I was 5'7" instead of 5'6 ¼" I would consider not getting LL and just live with it and wear extravagant footwear when I feel like it but not forever. Call me a madman but it's probably true. I'm going to take up a stretching, core strengthening, posture improving and glucosamine sulphate routine and if I get near 5'7" I'll be very happy as long as I improved my looks in other respects. This would solve my body dysmorphic issues - which is "feeling ugly".

But if I was to get it I wouldn't be happy at under 5'10", 5'9.5". I definitely don't want to be 5'9".

Anyone else have these ridiculous sounding autistic mental distinctions?

Yeah, probably.
But then again when I wore lifts to be 171-172 cm I didn't feel insecure anymore even when it's a small difference

How do you feel at 5'9.5"?

I also feel short. I would be comfortable lengthening to 5' 10" on femurs, which would translate to 178cm. That height is above average yet still not insanely tall.

I wish I could be 190cm, but beggars can't be choosers.
yeah I have evolved since I made that post I'm now 5'6.5" midday and look 5'7" with my footwear advantage and I still feel short but then when I use lifts to look 5'8" I don't feel short at all anymore
5'10" is decent but it's bang on average among young white people and above average in Asia where I live, that's my goal as well

Plus with shoelifts at 5' 10", you can easily be 6' 1". Perfect height.
not really, most "3 inch shoe lifts" actually give 1.5" of height so you'll look at most 6ft which is still good

at my current height it feels brutal even standing next to a 5'10-11 person indeed
