what height would you need to be to not have done LL

Quote from: Penguin on July 06, 2015, 03:38:30 AMOn one hand I wonder why a 5'9.5 guy would do this to him. That isn't a short height in any country, unless all your friends are basketball players.

On the other hand, it reassures me that this surgery is safe and good enough for tall people like you to do it on a whim. Then again, "whim" is relative and a midget that did it for correction probably thinks I'm crazy for doing it cosmetically.

Exactly, a dwarf for instance would perhaps give their right arm to be your height, so yes, it's all relative. No, my friends definitely aren't basketball players, but at well under 6'0 I do look like the runt of the pack lol.

It's as others have said before, you get one shot at life, if you know LL is what you want (I know I do), then do it.

I can respect that. I was admittedly very surprised to see people 5'8 and above wanting to break their legs for a few inches.. I would say you're tall enough if the majority of women are shorter than you. But it's not my place to say, so, good luck

I'm 179cm daytime and I'm pretty sure that if I were 181cm I wouldn't be here.

Who knows, I may regret paying to get my legs broken for a couple more inches of height, but I'll let you know how that works out by next year

it is interesting seeing people do that i do agree, i mean when i see people in public gatherings for example i may see a guy 5 7 next to guy 5 9, i don't think the 5 9 guys life would be much better, i never think that for a second.

i had a perfect example of that before when i thought 'yeah that 5 7 guy would do better than that 5 9 guy'.

but with that being said a 5 5 guy is in deep   haha, so i don't think its relative the height, it is more your absolute height and i think the 5 8+ guys are going to be a bit upset with the results of the LL but i wish them the best.

i feel great at 5 7 myself when i wear the 6cm lifts, i don't really care much for more height as long as i am at the height of men, i guess if you end up 5 10 after operation you will have an advantage over other men but it doesn't really fuss me.

And I'm pretty sure I haven't got you figured out at all, 2CM isn't very significant.

When I was in high school I figured out that 5'6" and 5'11" looked like the turning point to be tall for women and men.  It always bugged me that I missed the mark by 1-2 cm, also most of my friends were 180-181 so it added to the deception.  2cm is significant as I would've gone from average to tall.

Well we're all more or less obsessed aren't we?

Myself I have long internal debates about weather doing 6CM or 7, to me it's a world in difference both in proportions and height.

Edit Post

Lol, nothing wrong with wanting more!

Your internal debate for that ONE cm shows that every cm counts and is significant!  I feel the same, I didn't want to do more than 5-5.3cm at first but now I bumped it to 6-6.3 but ideally, 7.5 would be perfect!  I should stay around 6 max though, for better recovery.

6 cm´s would be fine for me as well, being at 185 is very decent. 7,5cm´s sounds so tempting though, I think I could handle it proportion wise but the recovery is a little worrying.
The 1 cm shouldn´t make a difference though this can easily be accieved by a good posture, some strechting or slightly higher shoes.
