Quote from: JON SNOW on August 08, 2018, 03:41:19 PMevery standard deviation in males is aprox 3.5 cm or 1.37 in , in my opinion every 4 or 5 cm you jump to another league
5 cm seems little compared to say your total height, but compared to 20 cm that is the gap between the 5 Percentile (166cm) and 95 Percentile (187cm) is very significant, every inch is very important
Yeah but we have to consider that a 20cm gain (hell, even a 10cm) is not feasible for many people due to time/safety/money constraints. I knew 7cms from 166cm (which got me to 173cm) would make a big difference, and I was right. No one ever calls me short anymore. I know 173/5'8" is still "short" to many people (especially to many on this forum), but I had/have other things going for me like social skills, facial aesthetics, career, etc. such that 5'8" isn't an issue for me at all. For the most part, I blend in quite nicely in a crowded bar/at the workplace, etc.
If I were 5'2" and did 7cm" to get to around 5'5", I would be singing a very different tune. While that's still a great improvement (where you're at least the average height of a woman), you're still below the 5'7" "cutoff" to where you start always appearing short and getting rejected by virtually all women.
He likes to do his own stunts and doesn't mind standing on objects for scenes to appear taller, he works around it and makes it work. Why don't you look at it this way, they can make a shorter guy look big and tall on screen but look what they have to do to Chris Evans in Captain America to make him look short and small, so Tom has versatility as an actor because of his height and again, about the stunts, smaller people are more agile and athletic, getting CLL would double the trouble.
Lol if you think a guy with Tom Cruise's face, money, and acting career would ever even consider getting CLL you are so far gone.
I just had Tom on the phone.. said he had just discovered this forum by chance and that he'd love to do CLL just to get back with Nicole
Plenty of actors get nip/tuck cosmetic surgeries, but CLL is far from those relatively simple surgeries with fast recovery times. Even with Stryde it's a very arduous procedure that will take months before you're back to normal.
Would some successful actors add inches to their height if it was as easy and complication-free as a nose job or Botox injection? Yes. Regular people would too of course. But it's not, so only the brave, desperate, and/or somewhat crazy person will go through with CLL in its present form.
Lmao . You make my day.

Happy to hear that )))
If anyone is interested, some Hollywood leading actors arranged by height.

Quote from: YellowSpike on August 08, 2018, 01:01:25 PMIt's funny because everyone always told me I look like Tom Cruise my entire life. They would all say "but Tom Cruise is short and you look just like him, why is your height such a problem?" Well, he's 5'7"/5'7.5", and I was 5'5" and some change (around 5'5.5" give or take). People didn't realize those two inches are HUGE (5'7" really is the final "cutoff," and even that is still short to many women, but at that height, you can at least compensate with other stuff like looks, money, etc.).
I always say, every inch between 5'5" and 5'8" is very, very important.
Tom Cruise also got jaw surgery. And is rich and famous and 1 in a million. I think you are right. People who say that short people should just "be like Tom Cruise" I feel are not being very honest with themselves or others on the opportunities there are for different people. They are probably well meaning, but do not relate.
