Shortest and Tallest cities/states in the US

Edit Post

Average height statistics are pretty accurate... It's all in your head... If everything is fine with your life and you have such a great self-esteem, why would you even try to improve yourself physically by such drastic means? What will happen once you will be 6' and suddenly walk by a bunch of young dutch tourists which most of them will be likely taller than you? Your experience in life was better wearing timberland boots? So wear those and have fun....

I have already provided the mathematical basis for my 5'11 to 6' average height belief. The average young white American male is 5'10.5.  Factor in upper middle class social economic status and its probably more like 5'11 to 5'11.5.

I wear a suit 90% of my time in public. I don't know if Timbs would quite match the rest of my outfit.

Why is it that there are plenty of people who think average height people must not have this surgery, as if it is fine for short people but terrible for average height people?

Depends WHY you want to have this surgery.

In a sentence, the exact same reason every guy here would do this: to fulfill my narcissistic desires.

First mistake is thinking that a guy your height wants leg lengthening for the same reason a guy who is 5'4 would want it.

First of all, speak for yourself. Second... you ever didnt get a job/got fired because of your height? Because people like me or Kilokahn did.
So no, not everybody does it for their "narcissistic desires". There are people that just don't want to face the stigma of being short stature.

But i don't think you just want to be taller for the sake of it, especially when you are focusing that much on someone else height when you are average yourself.

Anyway, i recommend you to invest in a shrink first, you need to do it anyway if you are going for surgery like LL.

If you are obsessed with your own appearance you are a narcissist.  If you are willing to do an expensive, risky, surgery that will only improve your appearance, then you are obsessed with your appearance.  Whether you are 5'0 or 6'0, if you are considering this surgery then you are a narcissist.

I also don't appreciate the ad-hominem attacks nor understand what they "give" you.  I will be the better man and just ignore them though .

You still didnt give me a reason behind your obssession which is crucial here. You want to do this surgery only because you "have some people at job that are taller than me".

But guys that are 5'5 and under it are shorter than almost everybody so comparing them to 6 footer is just freakin silly.
Problems with job, respect, clothes and don't even start me on romantic interests. Think about being different than everybody around you.

But whatever, this forum starts to be /r/short mumbling constantly that if you are not 6 foot you are worth nothing. Ehh.
