is going for 5cm at 5'10" pointless?

Guys, tsmith4900 is p00293. If you don't remember - it's the same troll who kept ruining every single thread, lashing out on everybody, and was completely tone deaf to any counter argument. It's a complete waste of time to respond to him. You better off just ignoring him, as does the forum rule suggests ("Do Not Respond to Trolls", hard to miss).

We need this miserable piece of human being out of here. Please for the love of god stop interacting with him.

Since I am not dutch or scandinavian and neither most of us, there is no need to try and be as tall as them. I am meditterenean and the average height is somewhere between 174-177 in this area.

Maybe you are not, but some of us here are from Netherlands / Scandi countries, so again the 5’7” theory may hold true in China, North Korea, Greece or wherever you’re from, but not for all of us.

Greece has an average of almost 1.79 which is more than any mediterranean country and many other contries like UK, Germany etc.
No comparison with China or Korea.

Quote from: DanishViking on June 03, 2023, 01:08:26 PMThe thread that I linked to, basically states by the results that 5'6 - 5'7 is the best bang while 5'4 and 5'5 has like 40% votes also. So if we take the height in the middle between them all it's properly 5'5 1/2 that wins since its the median height right in the middle. Then if you get the full 3 inches that most people do, you end up with a height of 5'8 1/2 or from 166 to 174 cm. Which is in between 5'8 and 5'9 so your're technnically wrong. But whatever.

If you want to think differently then 99% then go ahead. At the end of the day LL is worth it, if you believe your life would be better by becoming taller at any given height tbh. I just personally think like many others that doing LL above 5'10 is stupid, if your doing it for any other reason than height dysphoria but you properly dont care, so I'm going to shut up for now haha.

Bro ofc that catagory is gonna be big because the best bang for buck height is 5'7-5'8  you instantly get above average to average in countries where height is tall, 5'6 is ok but I'm 5'8 my friend is 5'9 and I can barely tell the difference, but for one surgery femurs specifically it's 5'7 to 5'10 is the best way to use LL just for doing 1 surgery

Quote from: tokyoteen on June 02, 2023, 05:37:42 AMI can't tell how tall i am in cm but standing my tallest I am 5'10 flat (barefoot). is going for 5cm femur a stupid idea? even if I work remotely and consider all risks/recovery? would go to Paley and do internal femur

*to add I have no problem getting girls but my reason for doing this is I have the budget and I'm capped at dating girls 5'9 and below. they notice im not that tall whenever in bigger crowds I feel inferior. It doesn't bother me too much but I am young and I would much rather live a 6'0 life then my current height.

*im grateful for my current height but I admire the journey everyone goes through and am willing to go through this for cm goal

If you're 5'10 flat foot then with shoes you can be 5'11 to 5'11 and a half. If i were you i would focus more on physique. Get a shredded body, getting a nice car, making lots of money. Height shouldn't be a concern for you. that would just be a waste of 6-9 months in my opinion.

Why can't you do all that AND get leg lengthening, redditor?

Quote from: tsmith4900 on June 02, 2023, 09:16:34 PMI'd say 5ft 11 is the cutoff where risks and benefits start to turn against you, and the absolute best height in terms of 'benefit to cost ratio' is going from 5ft 7 to 5ft 10 (i.e. short to average).

Trueeeee
