Why you do limb lengthening?

This topic is important to me, and I'd like to share my thoughts on it while eagerly awaiting your feedback. The title is self-explanatory: "Why you do limb lengthening?" As for me, this is a personal desire, and I don't aim to please or impress others, particularly women. Some may argue that I'm already tall enough, but I'm undertaking this journey solely for myself. I believe that those who do it for external validation or to attract the opposite sex may never find satisfaction because the  desire is primarily for oneself. For instance, given my height, I could potentially gain an additional 8-9 centimeters, making me 190 cm tall. However, I'm being reasonable and aiming for a height between 6'1 and 6'2. I think that beyond a certain point, becoming too tall can diminish one's appeal. While this might come across as narcissistic, my primary motivation is to admire myself in the mirror after the procedure. Does this sound crazy to you?

Moreover, I find the concept of this operation to be quite remarkable. To grow, one must endure suffering, making it a complex and transformative journey. It's like a gift you give yourself after enduring hardships and completing this extraordinary undertaking.

I'm exactly like you.  I'm a perfectionist and a maniac and thinking that I should stay at a height that I don't like my whole life bothers me.

"This surgery is a success only if other shorter people don't get to do it and remain short."

If you got limb lengthening, gained two inches...but so did EVERYONE else in the world, would you feel any different or would society treat you any different?

NO

You're right on some points . In reality, I'm over 5'11", so I'm considered to be among the taller guys in this forum. Certainly, and you're absolutely right, if everyone added 2 inches, I'd like to continue being taller. But I have the choice to gain or not gain a certain number of centimeters. Beyond 7 cm, I wouldn't add a millimeter because I would have surpassed my personal ideal, even though I wouldn't be the tallest person in the room. After all, there will always be someone taller than you, and I've grown accustomed to that. Furthermore, it's better to be among the taller individuals than the shorter ones. Also, I must admit that I measure my height four times a day, which could be seen as obsessive-compulsive behavior, so the statement you make isn't 100% accurate. For instance, I don't do it to please a woman, as my current height is sufficient and not a concern. However, beyond that, you might be surprised to learn that my primary goal is to stand in front of a stadiometer and read 6'2" or 6'1", as my ideal falls somewhere in that range. Sorry for m'y english

Quote from: Body Builder on October 17, 2023, 04:27:11 PMI am compleyely sure that you'll never do LL. As most of the taller than average guys that wrote here, especially the ones who had so stupid "reasons" to do it, as the one you mentioned about the stadiometer.
So nothing really to talk about.

I hope you are correct; nonetheless, as of now, it's not feasible. I lack the financial resources and the time. However, if I have both in the future, we can undertake it together if you are willing.
