Quote from: Slim_tim on October 23, 2014, 02:50:14 PMYou know we lengthen to change the perception, How are you expecting to change any perception of yourself with a measly gain of only 4.5 cm. The way people respond to you will be the same. I guess you will be full of konfidenze so to change your physical reality to mirror your interior beliefs. But life dosnt work like that.
I did this mainly to increase my self image, but beyond that, this height increase made me look better in pretty much all clothes i wear, im certain that even if my height gain isnt noticable, it will noticably look better, im sure other people who know me from before will notice this too, even though they probably wont mention it.
However one of the most important things i wanted to get rid off, was the feeling when standing in a group, if you are the shortest guy, even by a small margin, it will be noticed by the others of the group, and when women are checking you out, that instantly becomes a minus and makes it a lot less likely they will pick you over the others.
Finally, since 178 cm is kind of the breakoff to not be considered short for a guy in nordic countries, i really wanted to get rid of the possibility of being referred to as short and having that overall perception. Even if a really tall guy calls me short, majority of people in a group setting, particularly women, wont perceive me as short, just average.

Unlike a lot of other people here around the same height, i do feel average around other men in Sweden, and i even feel tall around women, in vast majority of cases.

This is not 2002, if you are under 5'11 you are short for a man no matter what, and not eligable to lead in the eyes of women. You should have lengthened to 5'11 and with normal shoes hit 6'0. Now you dont do that and i strongly belive the reception you will get will be probably the same.
And no if a Superior tall guy calls you out..the jokes on you. because you are still short. But i doubt they will choose height as their tool IF you are in 3 cm shoes. Otherwise you are still a teenage kid in their eyes.

Current height stats disagree with you.

Most people don't give height a second thought. I know I never did until I realized I wasn't growing much anymore and even now I don't look down on my shorter friends in any other way than just literally. Maybe some women do but 178 isn't really short enough to be a major disadvantage I should know I'm that height and in my last school I almost felt like I could pick and choose whichever girls I liked.
Also the average height hasn't even increased by a centimeter since 2002 though I agree that less than 180 is a little bit on the low side.

Are you retarded? 5'11 is 180,34cm, 179cm is not short, pretty much everywhere in the world. Stop talking nonsense / trolling.
