At 5"6, I can grow my hair to make myself "gain" an inch. With one surgery, I can gain 3 inches, and with lifts, I can gain about 3 inches, making me 6"1.
Really all that matters is the surroundings and one's original starting height. Even though Akash Shukla post op was only 5"2, he became an ideal man regardless.

A massive study done in the 1970s proved that those of medium height (5'9-5'11) were far more attractive than those of tall (6'1-6'4) or short (5'5-5'7) height.

Considering the study was done over 40 years ago, some things might have changed, but I could never agree more.

O yeah? I bet 80% of women would take UFC fighters GSP or Connor McGregor over any of the 6' 4" 6' 5" fighters such as stephan bonner, Jon Jones, junior dos Santos, or alistair overeem
Quote from: musicmaker on January 26, 2015, 06:52:53 PMFor most women, height wouldn't matter in that case. But it is not only strength that matters. If you are powerful, height is not important (provided you are not too short).
hm , i dont agree with that, i think height is important for aesthetic, thats the most important thing. you could be a bodybuilder at 5´6 lifting 400 lbs in bench press but you wouldnt be aesthetic. height allways matters.
Quote from: Hallijah on January 26, 2015, 06:14:59 PMtrue, but I can reach 6'0 with 2 inches, so why not
If you could get to 6' by gaining 2 more inches, I think you get the most benefits out of LL.
Quote from: musicmaker on January 26, 2015, 07:16:28 PMYes, yes..., but I am not talking about the Mr. Universe pageant. I am talking about dating. The requirements are not the same. For a pageant you need to be aesthetically pleasing, which means being both tall and strong. For dating it is not so evident. What would women prefer: 1) a tall (not strong) guy, 2) a strong (not tall) guy or 3) a tall and strong guy? Most women would chose the third option. But are you sure women would prefer the first option over the second option? I am not sure...
it depends on the height of the man and the height of the woman.
i think that an average height woman of 5´5 will prefer a 6 foot not strong guy than a 5´6 strong guy.
a 5´6 strong guy looks fat with clothing . at 6´0 if the man is Slim he will have an Slim silhouette, that thing will never happen if you are very short.
body muscle mass isnt an important thing in dating, the important thing is being tall and Slim.
That's possible, but I haven't seen a study dealing with the same parameters since then.

slim silhouette makes you look taller , also if u have a good looking face being strong might ruin your appeal
The funny thing is, you could be shorter than average and not be perceived as "short" if you have a slim build. But it's all about how you perceive yourself.
Take my dad for example. He is slightly below 5'11, but he gets perceived as tall quite a bit, because his weight is below average for his height and he has long legs, also wears clothes that make him appear like he is 6'.
I have a friend who is at least a full inch taller than my dad, but he doesn't appear as tall for some reason. He still looks very young which could be something. Although when it comes to stuff like the gym, height doesn't really matter as much as natural body shape. Obviously I would look like an ugly person if I tried to get over-ripped.
