hello, my name is loris and im 20 years old. im from croatia(small country in the balkans). i dont know how i found or why i clicked on this site but im glad i did. i had to make an account to speak my mind on the limb surgery this forum is dedicated to.

first of all i would like to say im 181cm tall(thats like 5'11 and 1/2 i think) and in the balkans the average height is like 187-188cm(6'1"-6'2"), everybody is tall and a lot of times im the shortest person around. i just wanted to say that you dont need this surgery! guys, it all about confidence, trust me! i could say that i understand your desire to do this but i really dont and im not gonna lie, im just telling you that confidence is the key to everything, and girls(and boys) know it! just play the cards youre dealt and be confident in yourself.

youre all strong and confident men, dont let society standards get to you and brake you. YOU CAN DO IT, YOU CAND DO ANYTHING!

you all have my regards and respect, and if you still chose to go for the surgery thats okay, i hope it makes you the person you want to be. good luck friends!

I don't care if OP is 181cm, which is what many short men like me desire to stand at, but I agree with his point. It's all about confidence. Works for me. I don't need any limb surgery. Guys, try and change who you are as a person to fit in this judgemental society.

Haha yeah I was thinking that too, I don't believe any countries yet have an average that height. I believe I read the dinaric alps to be the highest at about 6'1, or (185.42cm), which if the Balkans were exactly the same, this would mean that the OP is about 4cm shorter than average.

Being 4cm shorter than average in a western country would be a height of about 5'8.5, assuming a 5'10 average. Also this is assuming his average is the highest in the world at 6'1, if it's more like 6'0, then he's only an inch below average, and on a western scale about 5'9. Hope you understand the relative comparison I'm trying to make. OP is not short but may be slightly below average in his country, however his desire to lengthen is entirely up to him and several inches could cure his height neurosis, maybe he just wants to be a tall guy.

But being confident already + being taller after is a even major plus

Yeah I think I understand what you're trying to say, it's all good..

Man I would feel incredibly short in your country at 5'7, I'm probably at average female height at best lol.

I have to agree with the OP. Yes, majority of the short guys are insecure about their height and compare themselves negatively to their taller peers. But I have seen some short guys who are below 5'5 who are extremely confident, very successful and enjoying life to the fullest. Unfortunately I am not one of them, I have succumbed to the pressure of being taller its all about confidence
