[POLL] Height where LL gives you the most back for your buck?

Edit Post

Quote from: Confidence on May 10, 2023, 11:20:08 PMThat's because height is relative.  5'7-5'9 is technically still considered below average in western culture and anyone around these heights would still experience height discrimination.  Most people who are saying it's crazy are probably on the very short side and don't realize the brutal truth that it's still bad even at the 20th-45th percentile range.  Literally just look at how people mention the heights of Tom Cruise and Tom Hardy all the time.  There's absolutely nothing wrong with doing LL at heights of 5'7-5'9; this isn't the height oppression olympics.

Thats why I said said 5'7 and up is the best bang for your buck, if you want a actual advantage in life, being called tall instead of average but other heights below that is good too, but you need two surgeries.

5'2-5'3 = very short anywhere in the world

5'4-5'5= still short

5'6-5'7= regularly short

5'8-5'9=average, but can be considered short in certain parts of Europe

5'10-5'11 = height still respected but poor in some countries like Eastern Europe

6'0-6'1= god height, you won't be short anywhere in the world

I voted 5'2-5'3 because this corresponds to 158-160cm which is the 'most dangerous zone' inside which height is really a very serious issue, and if you do surgery starting from this range the benefit will be biggest.

I am really wondering why most of people voted 5'6-5'7. I know the heights lying within this range are still below average but not much, def not to the degree that you will not even be considered as a man and not to the degree that women will reject you in some cases even if you are exceedingly rich and handsome. Tbh after 5'7 being taller will only be a 'bonus', but getting taller than 158cm-160cm will render your current life into a normal one(I mean after 5'7 your life is still 'normal' but just with more dating success, namely your life will not achieve a substantial improvement like if you do LL at 5'2'5'3)

I agree with PalmTrees and with the guy on this forum talking your starting height:

5'6-5'7 is perfectly justafiable and I would guess the largest chunk of the LL community fall in this category. but a <5'4 man sticks out like a sore thumb and you'll experience discrimination even from children. getting someone to a normalish height (5'6-5'9 depending on the country) is the most "practical" use for CLL despite mental insecurity and dysphoria. regardless, the average 5'7 guy probably doesn't carry the mental anguish of someone 5'4.

That fact that almost no one says the shortest ones benefit the most proves that they do benefit the most actually. Even all you men have given up on the shortest dudes as if it's over for them and even LL doesn't matter cuz they will still be short.

And that is exactly why the shortest benefit the most, and even more if the shortest ones do two LL surgeries and gain 5 inches.

The shortest have two disadvantages in life, no dating life and not being a normal human statistically speaking. Average people don't have those two disadvantages.

He's biased he's 5'5 but speaking on 5'8 problem saying they  need's a therapist, only people that can judge say what they want is actual 5'8 people, he's never been at this height, I agree with the second poster from Korea on what he said

I think it's because it's the risk vs reward of lengthening and porptions being at that height 5'2 - 5'3 and lengthening to 5'7-5'8 it's gonna look very weird having a 5'3 wing span being 5'8, unless you having big ass wing span which is possible, but if you lengthen a bit above and just do femurs you'll be 5'6 which is still short but IDK it just depends if you want to be aesthetic or not, some people don't care so it could benefit you if you just wanna be tall

5'5 is worse off in every metric and situation regardless of bias but he shouldn't have said 5'8 should be exempt from cll because everyone has their problems.

going from 5'10 to 6'1 bumps you up from 60th percentile to 90th percentile in the US. You'd go from having a good chunk of guys taller than you to only the freaks of nature being taller than you.
