Is it okay to lie about your height in online dating?

Quote from: NewHeights on July 23, 2015, 07:39:43 PM5' 7" and 5' 8" is still considered short, and 5' 9" can go either way. 5' 10" is normal. Probably not logical for most men to be worried about height at 5' 10".

This is exactly why I'm still not satisfied at 5'8". The only question is how to squeeze out that extra inch. Tibias take forever and I'm on the verge of getting a new and very lucrative job in my field. I could pull off another inch on femurs and be back to normal pretty quickly, but then I worry about proportions. I don't know what to do.

Honestly, you're what, a weak 5'10? Dude...you are fine.

yellowspike. stop making excuses and get tibia done.

instead of answering with an excuse on why this or why that(for why you cant do it). if you have an excuse then just simply say you will accept your height (instead of giving me the excuse).

see where im going with this. you have 2 options only. you only ever did.

either 1: get tibia surgery.
or 2: don't get tibia surgery and stop dreaming.

and before you say you have a third option for 1 more inch on femur............... let me tell you a secret. you are addicted mate, you will never be happy with 2.5cm, and you might not even have 2.5cm left on your nail, it might really be 2. after all you gained more than you expected.

I mean this post in a constructive sense, but you have made 100 swip swaps on your decision, so I beseech you, man up and make a decision. either be happy and don't do it, or decide to do tibia.

With all due respect for what you've gone through to reach 5'8, I do agree with the last two comments, being 5'10 and having spoken to lots of 5'8 and 5'9 people about height.

Guys, yellowspike has been through a lot about his height. He has every right to want to be taller. You shouldn't blame him. I understand what he is going through. He disliked his height so much that he wants to be satisfied with it at least once in his life. After all, he only has one life.

Let him do what will make him happy...

I want to do tibias, I honest to God just don't know when I will have the time. I don't run my own business, I'm not in college and not exactly rich like some people on here (not speaking directly to anyone on this thread). I cannot afford to f*ck up my career, as much as I want to do tibias. That is why I've been wondering about doing another inch on femurs and be done with it...get a little more height while not ruining my career. And it's not that I'm entirely unhappy, I'm significantly happier with my height, just not totally satisfied. I'm ambitious, what can I say? I feel short still but not ridiculously short. 

In a perfect world, if I had the time, I'd totally do tibias as much as I'd rather not.

Appreciate it. LOL at least someone gets it. People think I'm "making excuses." I have a life and career to attend to, and just landed a really lucrative opportunity. I'd love to be 5'10"..but what's the point in being 5'10" if I'm broke and have no job. Women won't care, and I certainly wouldn't be happy with that kind of life.

Now you can see why being 1-2 CM shy of 5' 10" makes me mad.

Seems like 5' 10" is the new 6'. Those are the two most important height benchmarks IMO.

Why don't you try a 1 inch lift, and see if you feel any different at 5' 9"+? Might as well test that height before you consider anything.

No problem man. Not everyone can understand how we feel sadly.
