My proportions - can I pull off 5'11"?

Edit Post

Height: 175cm, 176.25 in the morning
Sitting height: 93.5cm
Wingspan: 185-186 I think
Age: 20

I'm quarter Welsh, English, and Half Greek.  I live in the UK.  I learnt about LL a few months ago.  I'd like to be 180-181cm tbh.

I'm pretty proportionate as I am now.  If anything, my legs are a little longer already then I'd like them to be ideally.  In this photo, the bottom of my t-shirt falls to the base of my penis.  Yes I know I'm skinny and I'd look a million times better if I bulked up - it's something I'm looking into.

Sorry for the Green shorts btw, only colour shorts I had which would stand out in the low light conditions!

You look perfectly normal at 180 cm. 185 cm seems a bit off to me, but you could easily compensate for the change in proportions by building up your upper body - you're fairly slim at the moment. Just as you said.

Yeah, I'm not sure how much of a difference building upper body mass would make at 185.  I have no desire to be that tall anyway.  I'd rather be 181 and better proportioned.

I know Calic who did 5.5cm (sorry I forgot exactly how much) was also in your shoes. He had the longest tibae out of all the patients at my farewell party. You should breeze through his diary.

Base on the pic, I agree with Chris. I think you can easily pull off 180cm. I was going to say your 185cm looks natural, but when you said that your shirt reached the bottom of your groin, then I would think that your legs would be too long in relative to your upper proportion. Honestly, if I had a wingspan of 185cm, then I wouldn't mind going for 185cm myself. However, I'm already reaching the limit as you can tell... so 3-4cm more would already make me out of proportion.

Changing from 5'6 to 5'9 and I go outside every day, no one commented on my proportion. Everyone just commented on other things. So I think that in general, the people on this forum is a bit proportion obessessed. Even a girl who I valued her opinion (because she is blunt) said that the only thing she notice about me is that I'm well dressed. Period. Maybe that's because I'm still under average height... so I can't same say the experience would be the same for someone who goes from 5'8.5 to 6'0.

If the bottom of your groin is 2 inches lower (and not at your shirt), then your 185cm photo looks like the model below.

Yeah I know, even if my torso was 3cm longer it'd make the world of difference...I refuse ever to wear any t-shirt that falls more than half way below the buttocks (or covers the penis even in the slightest) because otherwise it begins to look like I'm wearing a dress! One thing I never liked on the old forum was people saying "hide your proportions shirt your clothes - wear longer t-shirts!" But long t-shirts look awful and sloppy and women don't like that

True. And eventually if you work in business or have a white collar job, you will need to wear dress shirt and tuck your shirt inside your pants. There is no room to hide anything there. And it is counter-intuitive to have to hide something after LL and after all the money you have paid. Yeah

180cm is a perfect height for me. Most women I ask prefer this height and no taller. The first reason is most girls are in the 5'4 to 5'8 range. Dating someone over 6'1 would make them look dwarf. So I believe the height advantage after 5'11 to 6'0 is very minimal or none. And from my experience, most tall girls don't really care about height... it's just the same as when you ask black guy about penis size. It's probably something they already have and are not concern about.

The pic below is what the people around here typically wear to the office. I'm also wearing a suspenders and short-sleeve shirt tomorrow because it's summer here. There is no room to hide your proportion here.

How much experience with black guy penis have you had to make such a statement smallguy?
 

Edit Post

Not enough to make you jealous. How many did you had??!! lol... just kidding.

Good one though. For a moment I was flabbergasted.

I live in a very superficial society. That's why fashion, clothing, status, and appearances are all important.

I would do 6cm and call it a day.

Btw, if you're in to sports then forget about the surgery. It will bust you up permanently. It will never be like before.

Your negativity is pulling the entire forum down collectively. You went to a back-alley doctor in India that was promoted by a businessman pretending to be a forum moderator. You should give that disclaimer before posting anything on this forum. It seems as though the OP has a good head on his shoulders, and could possibly afford Paley or a decent European doctor. With something like CLL, the onus is on the patient even more so than the doctor. However, I do think your advice about lengthening a moderate distance (6 cm) is good advice. Saying abrupt things like CLL will "bust you up permanently" is a hyperbole that you somehow feel the authority to state as a fact. I meant to private message you, but I think this needs to be stated publicly. As for a Sarin patient, you could have ended up worse, however, like others, I was rooting for you to recover and persevere through a bad decision that I hope we can help future CLL patients not make.
