Wow man. Congratulations. That's a huge and highly respectable accomplishment. I'll never see anything over 178, but 175-178 is my ultimate goal after I do tibias. Not willing (nor do I have the proportions or the time) to do any more than that. I would be happy between 175 and 178.
I can't wait until I can somehow get there. Being average height (or better) is central to so many things as a guy (though I will say it definitely doesn't guarantee happiness or a good life, in and of itself). I need this to end, and really see no other way aside from a second LL. I just wish I could start tibia LL tomorrow. Therapy ain't helping either. I know I have a lot of other stuff going for me, but I still feel like it's all negated by being below average height.
Enjoy your life at a great normal height. As you've probably seen...below 178 (maybe 175, and that's pushing it), you may as well be living on a different planet (in America, that is).
I don't think in the USA people will discriminate you as long as you are 172, that is like 5'8.. Most likely you wouldnt be the favorite of the stereotypical blong high school cheerleeder captain that wants to go to Princeton and later on the Harvard Law to become a lawyer like her daddy, but nevertheless nobody would discriminate you, professionally at least and as for dating, there are many girls that are around 165-6 and are in the range of a 172 guy.
