Quote from: Gichelu on August 28, 2014, 12:38:57 AMHaha, wth is a 'dream height' supposed to be anyway? This isn't some damn fashion show and that you want to do lengthening just to achieve a 'dream height' shows you are a very big narcissist. Should work on that ego problem of yours with therapy rather than crippling yourself out of vanity and stupidity. Yea it may be a mental problem for everyone who does it but shorter people have legitimate reasons to want to risk their health. They're trying to stop the discrimination they get. People like yourself who want to get this at your height are just doing it out of some inflated ego problem. Seriously at your height you have to be a nutcase to think about height so heavily that you would seek out limb lengthening.It should be a no brainer that 5'11 and perfectly healthy is better than 6'1 and partially handicapped.

I'm not even gonna bother son. Peace out.

Disregard the haters Kunta kintie. Who knows you better: you or them? You have a much better idea of what will truly make you happy than they will ever admit. I can relate to you. I am almost your height and am going to get LL. I have accomplished a lot in my life, but I never felt satisfied with my height, while I felt satisfied with all other aspects of my life. I am the shortest adult male in my family. I know for a fact that I am not crazy as these jealous people claim, and I know that you are not crazy in wanting LL either. We may be vain, perhaps, but I don't think that that would consitiute craziness. I wish that old forum members wouldn't be so discriminatory. It's our body and cosmetic LL is our choice, just as it is anyone else's.

This community is here to discuss LL, to help others to get the best results with their LL, and provide support for others as go through it. THIS COMMUNITY WAS NOT INTENDED TO JUDGE OR CONDEMN PROSPECTIVE PATIENTS WHO HAVE NOT HURT ANYONE (BESIDES POTENTIALLY THEMSELVES), OR TO CRITICIZE OR NEGATE THEIR RIGHT TO ANYTHING THAT ANYONE ELSE HAS A RIGHT TO.

I will now begin ignoring comments that display such attitudes, and I encourage the other members of this forum to do the same.

I'm 178+ just about every day.

1.Actually LL on taller initial people is easier because of the initial elongation of the bond
2.This surgery is very common in Russia just for slightly different target(leg correction)
3.Tell me how all of a sudden avrg guys who do this surgery are considered mentally ill why short guys not, this surgery if anything was for people suffering dwarfism
4. At the end of the day the thing that matters is health and avrg guys will have a better chance at recovering, since they do reasonable amount of lengthening and the longer the  initial length of the bone the better the elongation

I reckon it's useless to justify to others why you need LL at any height. If you really want LL and think that it will make you happy then go for it, no one is stopping you. It's your life and you decide what you want to do with it. LL may sound pretty easy on the forum. It can be a euphoric feeling when sitting down in front of your computer with a healthy pair of legs and dream of being taller. It's also pretty easy to tell others how bad your life is at your current height and post proportions/mockup pics. But the truth is that only the truly motivated will be able to handle the sight of the surgical ward, the surgical equipments and a needle going through the spine. I honestly think that >85% of members will not end up doing LL when they realise the true nature of LL and the tremendous stress/pressure that comes along when the surgery date closes in.
All the best guys

Why not go ahead and say that it's a mental problem for everyone doesn't matter if 140 cm or 200? Like, seriously. 165 isn't 185. They're at opposite percentiles

It's not jealousy. You guys have other problems. I'm 99% sure you will be as happy after LL as you are now. There are some cases when doing LL is worth it and when not and in your case it's not. What in the hell would be different if you were a few cm/inches taller? Are your legs too short for normal trousers? Are you too short to talk with other people at eye level? Are you too short to reach things at the top shelfs? Are you at such a height that you will like a kid when talking to women in high heels? Are you that short, that when you go out without lifts everyone towers over you? Are you that short when you are standing in public transportation you feel like a little baby?

You know these are some reasons to do LL because after you LL you will be able to talk to people at eye level because you will be able to buy trousers in the adult section etc. etc..

You are just dumb and thankfully there are just a few moneyhungry orthopedic surgeons who will do LL to people who are mentally ill like you. You have to talk to a psychiatrist.

And btw do you call accomplishment in your life being 24/7 in LL-forum despite not being at a disadvantage because of your height?

It's unfair to compare a 165cm to a 185cm person. A 165cm man has to face and deal with heightism on a daily basis. This will eventually lead to mental problems and low self esteem.
Heightism is basically nonexistent at 185cm and they do not have to cope with the pressures a short person faces everyday. It is purely a mental problem if a person is unsatisfied with their height at 185cm because they have not faced any sort of height discrimination from others. This is why psychological evaluation is needed if someone at 185cm wants to pursue LL.

Quote from: exclide on August 24, 2014, 06:54:19 PMI have to agree. There's a thing called objectivity, I was objectively short at 167 cm or 5'6. That is 5 percentile, so I was shorter than 95% of the male population of my country. At 5'10 you're at 50 percentile, so you're taller than 50% of the male. 5 isn't 50. There's a difference between a woman 200 lbs that wants to lose weight and a woman 100 lbs that wants to lose even more weight. The second case is obviously a psychiatric disorder.

your comparison is wrong, I'd have been correct if it was a 6'1 who wanted to get taller
