This is the latest research about the correlation between height of men and mating sucess
Quote from: paddy10tellys on March 21, 2016, 12:08:57 PMGood article, TIBIKE, thx for the post.
"Men who are shorter than average appear to be at a disadvantage on the mating market: Their partners are more likely to be less healthy, have lower incomes and education, and have higher body mass index (BMI; Stulp, Mills, Pollet, & Barrett, 2014)."
So, you better have a big wad, or a big something else, if you ain't big... or, maybe just try to nail the short, fat, cross-eyed bird who possibly might be eyeing you up over the checkout counter??? Great. Peachy. Worst thing is... she probably thinks you are a bust, as well... F**k tall people
This was shown with people who are shorter than 5'6.. The most "suprising" finding in this study (and the others) is that there is almost no difference in mating success (Which I consider as amount and quality of the women) between average males and tall males.. Which means, dont do this in order to be tall but in order to be average...
This also confirms my idea that the 5'9+ people that consider to do this as insecure men and nothing more that will not really gain anything from LL

However, great, now I can blame my (old) height of 5.4 for anything regarding girls haha
Basically, height isnt such a big factor once you are average height. Also, the short (but not too short men) didnt suffer so much from height based rejection. 5'4 (according to the study) is indeed a problematic height.
I truly believe that adding height will help you overall with getting women, not because of the actual height gained (which of course is helping), but because of the highier self-confidence that will come automatically with it. All people who underwent LL and got to average or tall height (that I have spoken to) reported a huge boost to one's self image and confidence... I am sure that this is the main reason for the overall improvment in social-life and mating success.
Or in short, the better quality of life is not because of the added height but because of the permanent boost in self confidence (That I am not sure that will come in the same amount to average and above average people who do it).
Quote from: CCMidwest on March 21, 2016, 02:24:17 PMYeah, it's that potential that gets me. 5cm gets me to 5'9.5. With the boots I'm wearing right now, I would stand at 5'11 (they give me 1.5", I've measured to be sure)
Still not sure if LL would be worth it though. I've never really struggled in life being 5'7.5
If you were completely fine with your height you wouldnt be here now would you?
Quote from: CCMidwest on March 21, 2016, 02:44:14 PMHey TIBIKE,
While you are correct, it's also a "rationalization rabbit hole" of sorts...ya know? I actually was sent here by my psychologist if you can believe it.
He told me that if I:
1. Improved all areas of my life, so that height was my only insecurity
2. Researched the LL surgery fully, including talking to those that have had it (I know you haven't yet done LL, but we are the same height so I appreciate your perspective)
He said then I would realize that I didn't need it, and that I can be happy at 5'7.5
I guess I'll find out!
(I'm a newbie, so I appreciate that you responded to me in this thread! Thanks!)
I did the same. I almost finished med school, lost weight and hit the gym and now I have a nice body, read alot of stuff about alot of stuff so people always have fun talking with me, I am usually the life of the party when it comes to social meetings.
I have had my fair share of women (to be more specific in my 25 years I have slept with 15 different women... The last one being a french girl I met last weekend in paris during vacation there.. She actually cheated on her BF with me...)
I am happy about every aspect of me... I like my character, I like my facial aesthetics and body, Career wise I am about to be a doctor... Only thing that I lack is average height... Once I hit that I will surely have other problems like any human being, but height (an unchangble one) won't be one of them...
I dont want to accept the things I dont like about myself... I want to improve them.
Quote from: CCMidwest on March 21, 2016, 02:59:18 PMTIBIKE,
I feel ya man. I've only been with 6 women in my life, but I married young as well. 6th was my wife, and that was 11 years ago. I'm very social, people tell me I should of been a comedian or a teacher because I am so engaging. I am currently working on finishing up my education (nothing as awesome as being a doc though)
I own 2 companies and am a millionaire (not bragging, just saying where I am)
I'm pretty happy with my body, I've put on about 15lbs of muscle in 2 years, and am shooting for 10+ more.
Married to a beautiful 5'9 woman. (blond, big chest, thin...oh yeah)
Kids, dog, house, a Mercedes in the driveway.
Facial aesthetics I guess I am average. I've been called handsome a lot in my life, but I have tons of self-loathing so I tend not to believe them.
Again, not bragging with any of this. But even with all that, the height thing just kills me emotionally.
If you have no money problem I would suggest you to do external tibias in Italy 
You can PM me if you want
Quote from: TrueSpartan on March 21, 2016, 03:38:51 PMI feel like a lot of older people are still bothered by there height even though they are married, successful, kids,house. This motivates Me even more to get this done to have no regrets in the future.
Indeed. This is what also motivates me to do it... It's because one thing can't cover the other. Being unhappy with yourself wont be cured by being happy with a relationship or being happy with your career... That's because life is not based on one aspect but many... And they dont interconnect.
