Quote from: onemorefoot on July 06, 2017, 05:09:09 AMYou dont look like a midget, if you analize the size of the other people in the picture( men), you look average, I also believe your trunk is large, good thing, becuase that means you can increase your height without looking strange. If you are a legit 173, just get done 1 ll, femurs better, as everyone here knows, external fixators, mainly Ilizarov, are a pain in the a!!

That's an interesting assessment because I definitely feel shorter than average. I get called short pretty often and constantly get called demeaning words such as 'buddy'.

I didn't think the word buddy was demeaning at all until I called someone taller than me buddy. His reaction?

Buddy? I'm taller than you. Don't call me buddy.

Lol. Its coworkers not friends.

But its just an example of what slightly less than average height individuals go through.

Some people tell you that you are short when you are taller than them!! The guys here that are very interested in dating can tell you how some brain dead women want only 6 2" guys.

You're perfectly in range of reaching 6 feet. You have short legs to begin with which is more than perfect. So adding those inches will make you more proportionate. Go for it!

lmao these people are so brain-dead. I have never been treated like this.

Also if I've ever used the word "buddy" to anyone on this forum, that's because where I'm from it's generally considered friendly and not demeaning!

Aesthetically speaking, does it make sense to lengthen tibias or femurs? Again I'm only doing 5 cm but I want to do the procedure that will give the illusion of me looking taller.

You look really good. It's not height that's your problem, if you have one.

Are you living in a white country? It's always gonna be harder for minorities re: dating. A few inches won't help.

Yeah I live in the USA

Is it my looks then that are holding me back?

Btw. Regarding to the "buddy thing "

Think like this. If you own the company and call a tall employe buddy.
He wouldn't  say - don't call me that

Because then he would maybe loose his job.
He was just an a hole
