Hi FP
I think you are a quite interesting person. Since you are 171 cm and have never been called short or felt any discrimination due to height, I am just wondering what motivated you to do CLL which is not just a normal plastic surgery.
The average for my country is around 179 for younger people, but the average in my region is higher. The only numbers I have are the data from my physical examination (every 17-19yo has to do it) was almost 181, we were 200 guys so quite a large number.
Where are u from fp?
I think the magic height is between... 5"11 to 6"4... Panda:-)

well you have to take the value for all ages, this selective 17-19 sample doesn't work. women look for normalization, so they don't judge your height based on those people of similar ages, they judge it based on all social contact.
this is the same psychological phenomenon that causes people who are 6"5 but are surrounded by family who are all 7"0 to feel short. its about normalization.
------------------
however im just clarifying context surrounding how women judge , it does not negate your point.
(also army statistics would perhaps not represent the country. who joins the army? who is to wimpy to not join, who is not allowed/allowed to join. im sure this would skew statistics. )
IF 179 is the average for all men in your country and not just for children of 17-19. then the following thresholds become.............
its an exact 2.5cm shift. so:
5"8(below this exponentially accelerating discrimination) ---- 5"10.5 average (179cm) ------- 6"1 (above this diminishing returns for women)
No no I said that the average in my region appears to be above 179, the fact that the average for 17-19yo was 181 proofs this. There are no statistic that only apply for my region but only for the whole country.
Women are no reason for ll at all so every argument based on the attraction to women is not really important to me. I just prefere the tall looks of taller people. I obviously mostly compare myself to the men in my age since all my friends belong to this group of people so 181 is more important than the general average of 179 for the whole country and not my region which appears to be slightly taller.
well I value your opinion, but we have a different look on 1 issue,
I think it is silly to say that: women are no reason for ll.
in fact if you look at social standing for men and women, a lot of social power has to do with how attractive and successful you are to the other sex, if you are not attractive to the opposite sex you will have no social power. a lot(if not almost all) of social power rides on how much the opposite sex want you.
people who get LL for a specific girl are silly. that I can agree on.
however LL is about improving social power. and it runs in tandem with manipulating your self to being more desirable to the opposite sex.
---------------
why do you prefer the look of taller people? why is being shorter than taller people not good enough for you?

this is BS. someone can be gay and work his way up without caring about girls which may be his point as well.

your not intelligent.
Quoteif you are not attractive to the opposite sex you will have no social power.
opposite sex translates to who ever is attracted to you. whether man or woman.
I never stated girls I said opposite sex.
Quotein fact if you look at social standing for men and women, a lot of social power has to do with how attractive and successful you are to the other sex,
when I underlined that word "and". I knew that you being bisexual would come and attack me.
me highlighting this word was to emphasize/demonstrate that this rule of being given social standing based on how attractive you are does not just apply to 1 gender, it applies to all people in regards to who is attracted to them.
those who are attractive will be given higher social power by those who are attracted to them.
if you want to discuss gay men in specific about the extra rules that apply to them I am more than willing to do so. but this question has not been asked yet.
Quote from: ForcedPuberty on March 14, 2015, 04:45:25 PMlol that was funny.
well specifically I was stating it is in the category where girls wish you were taller, but your not considered short. the real discrimination becomes exponentially worse under 5"7, iv never been called short.
2.5 inches under average it gets worse ----- average no discrimination ------ 2.5 inches above average, going above this gives diminishing returns.
its a bell shape graph,
ie. for an average of 5"9.5 like in America. the corresponding values are (5"7 ----- 5"9.5 ------ 6"0)
Agree with this. If you're within at least 1 standard deviation of the mean (even though it's quite a difference from the 30% or so percentile from the 50% percentile), it's not that bad. When you're outside 1 standard deviation from the mean, that's where things start getting really bad. At my new height, I'm still short, but at least I'm at the 35th percentile or so for men, and taller than like I think 70% of women. My other good qualities will now be able to compensate and balance things out (well, they did when I was 166 too, but only to a smaller degree, I suppose).
I'm sorry yellowspike .. But in Panda bears eyes you are short:-)
