I didn’t know how to coherently title this but.... What starting height plus the maximum internal lengthening of 3 inches makes other people change how the look at the LLer most? For example does going from 5’3 to 5’6 or going from 5’6 to 5’9 change how people perceive your stature more? Also I was thinking about this from the male perspective but female is welcome as well.
I think I agree because I think the biggest differences in one inch changes is around 5’7 going to 5’8 because one is considered short and then suddenly you are are just barely average and then two more inches brings you to a “respectable height”.
I see what you are saying, I think in my area of the US the population is mostly very rich white people, so the average height may actually be 5’10 to 5’11 for males. So I am more biased to the poster who said 5’7 to 5’10 would make the biggest difference. I can see in other areas where the average height isn’t so high that 5,5 to 5’8 would be huge. In my area unfortunately people would still say you are short 
I actually think the 6ft to 6’3 is ideal (not changing from 6 foot to 6’3, just those heights in general) the and results may start to decline after that. And honestly this was my first take, but it’s hard to say. I am stuck between negative to neutral or neutral to negative. I generally think as a psychology major that negative emotions tend to be more powerful than positive ones when it comes to occupying headspace so I’m still favoring going from a negatively perceived height to a neutral one. But there is a good argument to be had for 5’9 to 6’0 or similar.
Ya I honestly think the 6ft thing is half meme and half “ideal” but unless a girl is already tall, just being a little taller is good.
Unfortunately this is not true, and just way too reductionist. People aren’t born “losers”, the combination of environment with genes are what would make someone perceived that way.
So the unfortunate reality is that, all things given equal, a person born with societally unacceptable stature will be more swayed into the so called “loser” direction. I somewhat agree with your last point. “If girls don't like you at 5'9 in all probability they don't care about you 8cm taller lol.” But many girls top requirements for guys include height. So if you are good with girls at 5’9, then you may still not be tall enough, but with 3 inches you could be. I just hate people who are so weird about what is ok for a good reason to LL.
Okay I appreciate you elaborating, I think we actually agree almost 100%. I think I just didn’t like your initial posts’ wording because it felt dismissive. If you are curious, I am exactly average in the US,5’9.5, and I’m getting LL for what I think is a unique reason for my very acceptable height. Have a good day!
