Although I agree with some of the things you are saying, you don't write like an educated man.  If you don't care enough to write properly then it is difficult to respect you.  I understand if someone is foreign and doesn't speak English well.  That's ok.  But you sound like a lazy, know-it-all kid.

[ouroboros]

This is an international forum.  For people who don't speak English as their first language, it is hard to understand SMS since it's worse than ghetto slang, just in written form.

Ok my bad sorry! Will not repeat it. But still LMAO!

We, the people who are around 180 cm, are the most pessimistic, that I can see. For a start I feel like we are depressing the guys under 170cm talking about how we want so bad to be close to "super tall" and hate to be average height, sometimes I guess we are the most frustrated ones. Think about this, third place will always be happier than second place. We were so close to become above average and we didnt but the other guys would be so happy to some day attain average height. CLL is suppoused to make us happier not getting us TALL. We should stop taking our frustration on the people under 170cm.
I personally want to be 188cm since thats my wingspan and will only need add 8cm and I guess thats nowadays most of you guys situation. Now start worrying about how you gonna do it, pre-op nutrition, stretching exercices and saving money and stop keep on frustrating yourselves.

You're the only one feeling 'pessimistic' because of already over-average height (USA). But you're also from Chile, where the average height is 170 cm. So you're 10 cms taller than average, that means you're in the 95th percentile already. I've seen a case like this before, with a girl that lengthened from 5'6" to 5'8" and after still claimed that she's short. Now she's set on another surgery to bring her to 6'. Lol. All while she's doing it with externals, ignoring that: she's ugly, she will have very ugly scars, she'll screw her proportions and function. But who cares, right? She's 6', so that's going to solve everything! Riiiight? fk off. You're fighting not the cause, but the effect. You'll get to 6'2, but still being blind, deaf and ignorant, that won't make you much more happier.

I want to do this because my 14 yo little brother is already 186, my sister 175cm and all my cousins are taller than me. Also my father is 185, see now that "my average" is another. There's a lot of reasons why ppl do CLL.
Btw mad bro?

He's just saying not to get carried away. Don't take it defensively; I can understand what he's saying--someone who's, say, 6'3 in the USA willing to break their bones and go through months of rehabilitation to grow taller is likely to have mental problems.

I think 8CM in one segment could be a bit of a stretch, mostly worried about the biomechanics at this point.

What's wrong with 186CM? It's a decent height and should be a much safer goal.

I'm aiming for two surgerys (4/4) but maybe I'll stop at 4cm en tibia, I'll see

[meursault]

Are you sure you aren't just saying that because that's your own goal? Seems pretty suspicious to me that you're also lengthening to this exact height. And it's doubly suspicious that you claim 183cm+ is too tall for your country, I highly doubt that and it just sounds like a case of the fox and the grapes.

The sweet spot is whatever you make it, and for very short guys whatever height can normalize them is the sweet spot.


Using your own reasoning though, it's most logical to conclude that 188-191 cm is the 'sweet spot' because as you said in another thread you are looking for a global height. This height would make you tall in some short regions and nondescript in tall regions.

[ItsMyLife]

188 would not fit into my country. In fact I asked some friends who don't know I am lengthening. They said 183 is probably too tall. So 182+ would fit well into my country and still be above average in the Scandinavia.

I am not sure what is the "too tall" height in America and elsewhere, but I don't do a global occupation. Yes I travel, but 182 is more than enough to make me feel adequate (I travel mostly to Asia, as well, rarely do I go to Europe/America)

I chose 182.5 because of my reasoning. I can go further with femur lengthening but I do not want to be seen as "too tall" by girls. Yes. a few of them (who don't know my surgery) have said 183 is abit too tall for a date.

Finally, 180+ is essentially the celebrity height. Justin Bieber is only 175,same with Nick Jonas and M jackson. There are a few 173 celebrities (Zac Efron, Usher), but most of them popular ones are 180+ (1.8 - harry styles, 183 - jimmy fallon, 1.8 - JC chasez, ). Ricky Martin for example.. List a few more, I cant remember off my hand but in America, about 185 seems the upper limit for white celebrities(eg, Enrique Iglesias, who sang with Whitney, Justin Timberlake). The same for Asian celebrities - Jae joong (1., Yunho (1.84), Jiro Wang (1.82), Arron Yan(1.77), Wu Zun (1.81), kim hyun joong (1.82), kim su hyun (1.80),etc.

1.83 is also the MAXIMUM female height in Hollywood. Sigourney Weaver (1.83), Brooke Shields(1.83), and Glee's Jane Lynch (1.83). Uma Thurman (1.81) and Nicole Kidman (1.80), Taylor swift (1.78): http://www.npr.org/2012/12/07/166400760/hollywood-heights-the-ups-downs-and-in-betweens

note: celebrities tend to be taller, so the fact that the upper limit for celebrities is 1.83 , is telling!

Soooo I came to conclusion best height is 182.

(Btw: this is hilarious, haha http://lowerrider.deviantart.com/art/Uma-Thurman-and-Cissy-Wang-373458158 )

[Yemef]

*justin bieber is 175cm* lmao!!!!!!!!!

[Alittletooshort]

I think Itsmylife is right about the height though. Just add 4-5 cm´s to 183 and you´ll get the perfect height for countries like the us or europe. The average height in scandinavian countries is only 1cm above the average height for young white males in the states (180-179), so it shouldn´t even matter much in the northern countries.

A sweet spot is rather a personal opinion than something you can generalize, like everything when it comes to aesthetics and beauty, so this whole discussion won´t lead to a consensus.

188>190>185
