Let's not bicker and fight among ourselves. We're all in this together and it'd be counter productive to tell someone what to do and what not to do based on how YOU would feel at that height. Everyone lives in a different environment and background and ambition. For example, there are some millionaires who can't be happy about being millionaires and strive to be billionaires. So the same thing can be said about height. One person's dream height could be 5'9" while another is 6'. This is where the bickering can happen, because each person has a different view on what's already great.
What I do find productive to tell you guys who haven't done LL yet is how freaking expensive and painful and mentally taxing and permanently damaging it is do LL. If you're okay with that, then okay, go do it. But I hope you guys know what you're getting yourself into before you make any decisions. It's not some simple thing like getting braces. I got braces before, and that was a cakewalk compared to this. My best analogy is that LL is getting your legs beaten by a metal baseball bat for 3 months, and then being in a wheelchair for 3 more months after that, followed by relearning how to work for a few months after that. I'm not even exaggerating. That's what it feels like. If that sounds like it's worth doing to be able to wear pants that fit, then okay, who am I to judge?
175 will make me happy
You still have my support, man. At the end of the day, that's the most important part: That you'll be
happy about it. Who cares what anyone else thinks is "tall enough". When it comes down to it, if that's really what's stopping you from being happy, then right on. If you still can't be talked out of it after all these months, then I don't see many more options. Plus, I know exactly how you feel. I'm 5'9" and I still wear lifts to get to 5'10", simply because I don't think I'm at the perfect height yet. If I could do what you can do and add an inch without any long term side effects, then I'd probably do it too and avoid having to wear lifts ever again. But right now, the cons outweigh the pros of being taller than 5'9".
