Is there big difference between 5'4 and 5'7?

No more.  He is happy, and none of us want to go through it again.  It is a huge undertaking.

My natural height 5.7 with a inch taking me to 5.8 is good. But I still feel trapped in a kids body in many situations( even though I have broad shoulders). 5.9 is when you are treated as a proper man with strangers. But with friends and colleagues I rule

I agree. 5'9" is when the change really happens and you start to actually blend in with a lot of other men, and hold your own (not get towered over) with even 6ft men (although men 6'2" and up will still tower over you).

That's why I will not accept anything less than 5'9". I will get that last inch (or more) if it's the last thing I ever do on God's green earth.

Huge. But if the 5'4 guy doesn't feel that way, he shouldn't be swayed into LL.

I agree with this from my personal perspective.

Being stuck at a height below 5'9" is like being part of a professional sports team and sitting on the bench most of the time.   Not that there is anything wrong with warming up the bench......it's just a little more fulfilling when you can proudly say you are part of the team instead of the reserves.

Still, if you are on the bench for a professional team , no matter how  ty the team and in which sports, you would still be making a ridiculous amount of money and you wouldnt care much about height

I think that if you are 5'4" and you become 5'7", the fact that you are going to have longer legs is going to make you look taller than me at the same height......so height is just a number, but perception of height is what might be more important.

i get what u mean,

i used to have an ex , shes like 167cm ? 5'6 ? and i am 5'8 , she always feel she is around the same height as me.

I mean did she break up with you because of that...I fail to see the relevancy in this... Dare I say ask your dad how he hooked up with your mom.. sounds like you have some confidence issues..

It's interesting how women think that they are taller than their actual height, specially those in the 5'5" and up range.   They put on high heals and they are as tall as the average man.  Maybe they are the ones with the bigger height neurosis.
