170cm

My lowest height is about 179.5cm and my best height is 181cm. This will sound crazy to you but i am one of the shortest guys at college and was shortest at my class at high school . Average height for Dinaric Alps is about 185.5cm so with 5.5cm i will be average. That is my main reason for considering LL.

Sounds like a legitimate motivation to me.

There no need for us to justify our desire to be taller to the forum, by the way. The members of this forum should help inform one another about the nature of LL, various doctors, and procedural variations, as well as support those who decide to go through with it. We aren't here to say who is or isn't worthy or justified in taking action to appease their desires to be taller, regardless of what their starting height or motivation may be. Bottom line is if you're willing to break your legs, endure lots of pain, risk disability, invest lots of time and money, and lose some athletic ability to be taller, then you deserve the procedure regardless of what your current height is.

I've been posting on this site less lately because of a new job I just got. Not only am I more busy, but low and behold I am one of the tallest guys in the company(though it is a small company). Plenty of guys around my height, but i'm not getting towered on a daily basis. This unique environment has definitely affected my height neurosis positively, and I rarely stress over my height nowadays. Definitely anecdotal evidence of environment being the most important here, which is why suggestions for shorter guys to move countries should be taken more seriously.


 Don't get me wrong, I'm still haunted by getting towered by my father, being an inch taller than my mother, and seeing eye to eye with my sister. But right now I'll just enjoy life and see what the future holds, the amount of money i'm saving each month makes LL more than just a pipe dream.


Even if I ultimately decide against LL I enjoy reading the diaries and discussions here, so I don't plan on leaving anytime soon.

Very inspiring Penguinn.. You've definitely gained my respect after such a comment.

The idea that taller guys are more successful with women than shorter guys... It's all in your head. If you all embodied the same attitude as Penguinn your success with women would get much better. It isn't about how you look, it's how you see yourself, which is in your head... Which you can change without limb lengthening. I'm 168cm/5'6. When I was single, most of the girls that I was seeing were about 5'8. Now obviously I wouldn't go for a girl who was extremely taller than me, but that was a choice I made. If you put yourself out there, practice putting yourself out of your comfort zone, become comfortable with who you are in any situation, women always respond positively to that.

If you're tall and have the same negative attitude, then your results will be the same with women no matter how tall you are.. So while you get your lengthening done focus on a better mental state as well.

You flatter me. lol

When it comes to dating, I think it's halfway there. Your appearance does matter but people act like nothing else does. As in.. at 5'2 I could date girls till say, 5'4(and there are definitely some that'd not to date a shorter fella) but dating a 5'7 girl would be absurd looking.

tl;dr
I think if you aren't getting crap done at 5'10 you probably won't at 6'1. But you don't have to consider my opinion if you strongly feel otherwise.

EDIT: ESPECIALLY if you're the type of person to blame something else for your 'shortcomings'(no pun intended ). If you're 5'11 and blaming LL for everything going wrong with your life, you'll latch onto something else to blame after you grow those inches. This isn't in any way to discourage people about LL, in fact I encourage it to most, this is just about the attitude. Trynna help.

168.    living in shandong china. north.

163cm live in New York City and life blows. Everyone is always looking down on me because I'm short. Only looking to lengthen 6-7. I'll be extremely happy at 5'6".

My biggest problem is attention I'm a very good looking guy but girls or just people in general look at my different because of my height. It's very depressing we all want to feel wanted.
