Quote from: NotTall84 on August 30, 2022, 01:16:03 AMI am not mentally ill. It's unfair to label me as such. Not cool.
I agree.
I believe that the size could be lower because the average is including the height of very short people.

Well Maybe I gotta be kinda cynical here but since this is LL forum it's lack of empathy to cope how bad being short which I also didn't deny but there are more things irl than height and there are more worse things than being short and if u think being short is the end of the world you probablt need serious therapy.
I am not coping just tell u the truth that height should not surpass everything and being short is not the worst thing.
Your mental illness distorts the reality even after LL is done. That's why I suggest therapy prior to LL, not because LL will do psychological screening but also if your distorted mind is untreated it will probably relapse even after L is done
The truth is in between. Saying height doesnt matter is bull . Saying height is all that matters is bull . Height has an impact, especially for guys who are lije below 170cm. I am 171cm tall and had a good success with women and with career. I am sure though that things would have been better on the dating scene if I was taller. But here I am about to marry to a good looking woman even though according to the fatalists on this forum, that should be impossible because I am only 5'7.5 and below average.
But still, I would never tell a guy my height or especially shorter, that his problems in dating have nothing to do with his height... that is some serious cope

The tallest guy I know is 6'6 and a literal bum. He is homeless and on drugs. Good guy, but life got the best of him early on. Probably because he is decent hearted. The shortest guy I know is 5'5. He is a millionaire with many sports cars and homes. He lives the "American Dream" lifestyle and he is also a very shrewd man without mercy when it comes to money.
I do not know how height influenced their lives exactly. My observations are that the big guy was seen as a simpleton and used for his size and brute strength, this probably led to him ending up in bad situations with bad people. The short guy probably was abused and attacked for his stature, making him a bit tougher and resilient. He is into boxing and self-defense and I get the feeling he was bullied.
This could all be B.S., no way to prove it without asking them.
I do not think the shorter guy would be less successful if he was taller. The tall guy would probably have been worse off if he was shorter.
Something that we can not control like height does have an effect on our daily lives. Same thing as skin color. You can not choose your skin color, yet people abused and enslaved others because of it for centuries. In modern day, our society looks down on short men because short men are seen as weak and not fitting the traditional gender role that a man is suppose to play.
Quote from: Medium Drink Of Water on September 01, 2022, 01:33:46 AMYou don't know what real height discrimination is until you've been short. Yeah, nobody's going to admire you and love you for your height. Poor you, you'll have to win people over on merit. If you can't handle playing the game of life on normal mode then your problem isn't in your legs, it's in your head.
I completely agree

With all respect I don't think LL is really worthy for you, because your height neurosis does not seems to be tackled.
IMO:Friendship>Intelligence>Love>Health>Status>Money>EQ>Appearance>Family.
I don't think you know the importances of things prioritized to Appearance in my ranking, or probably you already suffice in those regards and it's pretty normal for people to fixate on things that they lack.
Two options for me:
1.188cm+Intellectual Disability(other things are just average)
2.140cm or even under+IQ well above 160.(other things are equal to those in the above option)
I will run for the second option.

i reread your post like 5 times and still couldnt understand it
what is the progression with the >>'s supposed to mean?
All the younger guys now are tall because we are finally seeing the repercussions of women's "6 feet or more" requirement for their partners. It's producing a taller generation. Pretty soon the narrative will be " 6'4" or nobody" from women. And that will continue the trend. Even middle school boys on average are like 5'8" - 5'10" now, no joke.
Don't know what is 'Pregnant Effect', checked.
Don't know what is 'Haste generalization', checked.
Don't know how to measaure accurately your own height, very possibly according to my experiences, checked.
Don't know the average height of America has stagnated for decades and even dropping, checked.
So it is just you.

Depends on by what you evaluate your own life. If you think, that your life should be assessed mostly by your appearance, then ofc height matters like hell, but there are other things that you can work on that have more meanings if you think life should be judged by your value that you can contribute to the world, then height matters little.
I found out this forum is very demeaning closer to a toxicity because there are only a very few outputs of significant contributions, not to mention positivities. Dumping negativities into public platforms is never a good idea and do something directly to improve your mental healths is what you should do, guys.
