I don't know much about fitness, only that as they told me in the gym I should "target" a certain pulse according to age and calculated maximum pulse to assure I was in the "cardio" zone.
I did that by running but was wondering what kind of alternatives there were, for example bike, I think. Running became hard during some time precisely due to knee pain during months because of infectious arthritis in the past.

Ikr? That's such a weird concern people have. Imagine being concerned that your muscles might grow bigger lmao

Girls don't want it.

Idk why a girl would want to be taller. Short girls generally have the largest dating pool, everyone loves em lol

They want to be taken more seriously.

Cause being taller is more aesthetically pleasing and elegant.

Answering for myself, mostly that reason, but also because I really don't like being smaller than most men. It makes me feel weak and vulnerable which I despise.
But yeah there's quite a lot of reasons to why women would want to get LL.

I still don't get it why some folks here are perplexed about why women also want to do LL, just like women are curious why some men are contemplating on doing plastic surgeries. To be frank don't restrict what you should do with the society's view of values. If you want to increase one of your attributes just do it don't take whoever persuades you out of doing it just bc society is not demanding it srsly.

That's absolutely true
However society isn't really what's holding me back lmao
Being in Med school, time and my wallet are

I don't really know how it'd be possible for me to give up half a year at best when I'm already in for like 10 years, and I don't know if spending 80k is that worth when I'd rather spend it on a house or sth

So rn it's kinda just something I'm contrmplating.

It's because they won't benefit from it.  It's not like a guy getting a nose job; a handsome man is thought of more highly than an ugly one.  It would be like a guy spending 100K, months of downtime, and risking his life to remove his body hair; totally perplexing.

I understand that maybe women wouldn't benefit as much in the dating realm as a man would, but there are many women who feel infantilized by their height and it can have major effects on their self-esteem. I totally understand why a 4"11 woman could feel distressed about her height, given that she is towered over by almost every adult of both genders and even many children and teenagers. Nobody male or female needs to do LL, but I don't think it's shocking that a very short woman would want to be taller. In fact, I think it's a lot less perplexing than some of the 5"11 guys on this forum who are desperate for LL. Not disparaging them either, just my opinion.
