If you don't believe in the advantage of height then don't do this surgery. It is only for the really motivated ones who truly believe that height is very important and that could change their lives a lot.
Personally I don't know any 5.7 to have plenty gfs and the most successful 5.9 I know in dating is me and I don't find it as easy as you say.
5
In 5.7 you must be excellent in everything else and still many women will reject you for your heigbt only, so I really can't believe how you are so good at dating as you say.
Maybe it is simply luck because as I mentioned before, 2 of my 3 best looking gf's I ever had were with me before LL but I won't say I was a pussy magnet but simply lucky and knew how big disadvantage was my 5.65 height.
So if you thing that the importance of height is exaggerated don't do LL.
Personally, even I am about 5.9 now, I think that still my height is not good enough so as not to be a drawback in my appearance.
If I was a solid 5.10 then it wouldn't have been a drawback and from a solid 5.11 and more it wpuld have been a positive.
But at 5.9 it is not and 5.7 is 2 inches less so it is a much bigger disadvantage and the last border between average short and short men. So even if you are lucky or excellent in anything else.
But that doesn't mean that the height is not important. On the contrast, it is the most important trait in a man, even more than a good face.
I highly disagree with you.
My main motivation is not to be the shortest man in the family
. I dont know what kind of women you meet, but the situation at 5'7 isnt that tragic
Quote from: MrHandsome on June 27, 2017, 12:22:27 AMIt depends on area man I keep saying this. I have been measured numerous times at 5'8 yet I am still extremely short and it is not in my head. The conclusion I can arrive to after this is just that it all depends on area.
In which city in the states do you live?

Honestly that's extremely weird to limit yourself like that, at least go for 6.5cm to get to an actual 5'10. I promise you, you'll end up with the same function from only doing .5cm more and that's not even going to be noticeable in your proportions. By the way, if you're 5'7 and you do 6cm you'll only be slightly above 5'9, you won't be close to 5'10 unless you do 7cm+.
But yeah, it sounds to me like you should just forget about this surgery anyways. Though gaining over 5cm from this surgery would be worth it imo, if you really don't value height that much and also value proportions so much then why even risk it? I definitely don't mean this offensively, but if you're not 110% committed to this surgery and don't truly want it bad enough, I'd suggest not doing it period.

I am 171cm. It is actually 5'7.5.
Btw, I find it funny how in your diary you were speaking about being surrounded by tall athletes as being the number 1 reason why you do this (and also not mentioning attraction with women at all) and now all of a sudden, if I don't want to commit myself 100% in order to get pussy, you find it not enough of a commintment to do LL.
Not being aggressive, just finding it kinda wierd and funny.
I would never recommend over 5cm because of the complications suffered by numerous individuals after that amount. Although there are major complications that can occur during lengthening even at a small amount, the chance of these complications occurring increases exponentially past 5cm. This football player had 2 inches done and plans to return to the field. Any result less than that is not acceptable because women look at functionality and physique as well.

Good point about functionality and physique as well.
I tried 1inch insoles and I was at shock at how much of a difference they made for me. That's why I decided to do a max of 6cm (when the time comes) because believe it or not, people do notice proportions on other people (I have heard numerous times how a married friend of mine is getting mocked behind the back by women because he suffers from a very slight duck ass.. The fact that he is 6'1 doesn't change the fact that no girls are finding him attractive because of it and even his wife is below par in the looks department.. Or how women and men say "wow this guy/girl has super short/long legs, super short/long arms... You name it) and it is something you should take into account.. Hell, even sibirsky told here that people do notice his long post op tibias.

In that case your measurements are accurate then.
No where did I say that was the number one reason, I just mentioned that so people would understand why I thought 5'9 was short, because if I hadn't been around athletes I might not have thought it was.
I didn't mention anything about women because I never had any problems with my height and women at 5'9 lol. 5'9 is in my own neutral range after all.
But what do you mean about the "commit myself 100% in order to get pussy" part? I'm honestly really confused. Are you saying that it's your number reason? Because if it is that's fine, though judging by what you've said about your experience with females I wouldn't think it would be. But anyone can have any reason for doing LL, what I'm saying is that if you're not 110% committed to achieving height, for whatever reason you have, then I wouldn't go through with the surgery because I can tell you as someone who's actually doing it that it's extremely difficult and will take a lot of your time and money away from you. And the reason I said that to you was because it seemed like you really didn't think it was that important, so that would give me the impression you're only like 70% committed or lower which isn't a good way to go in my opinion.

Okay, I think you're really being too conservative on your 5cm limit here. I'll tell you why.
First off, the player in that video actually did 2.5 inches not 2, which is 6.25 cm already, passed your limit of 5cm.
Second, he had a leg discrepancy that was fixed, which is totally different from getting 2.5 inches added to an already fully normal leg. In his case he was correcting a deformity, but in our case we are stretching our soft tissues and throwing off our body's natural proportions. I'm not saying that going back to sports after 5cm isn't possible (in fact, my surgeon says even after doing 8cm I'll be good to go in 6 months post op), but you have to understand that he'll have a much easier time since his was only a correction rather than an addition.
Finally, don't get the wrong idea here, 5cm is DEFINITELY a safe limit. I mean this as in pretty much any decent LL candidate can achieve 5cm and have little to no complications afterwards. However, being A safe limit is not the same as being THE safe limit. "The" safe limit is defined on an individual basis, meaning that the safe limit for one person might only be 5cm like you said but a younger, healthier candidate like myself might have the safe limit of 8cm or more.
So yes, while recommending 5cm is definitely an sure way to go, truthfully an individual should shoot for any height not in excess of 7.5-8cm max and really just see how they feel during the lengthening, stopping at whatever height they feel they should stop at. Though it is true that the more cm you lengthen the longer it takes to recover, any amount not over 3 inches in one segment can be recovered from eventually with proper PT.
