[DreamOf180cm]

I'm 5"7 1/2 (171.5cm). The title pretty much explains it. I would feel like a man if I was like 177-180cm but 171 just doesn't do it.  I feel like a "boy".. Anyone else feel this way?

[IwannaBeTaller]

I don't really feel like a boy, just like a less worthy man often. When I see taller guys, I think to myself that they have been given such a precious, incredibly valuable gift with their height, a gift they've received for free, for doing nothing, and they often don't even realize how lucky they are. Why have they been given that and I was not? But the situation is not that bad for people 5'7'' and over. You could were 3 cm heels and be 175 in everyday life, just like Tom Hardy or Jason Statham, who are very manly real men.

[DreamOf180cm]

I agree 100%, I feel like a less worthy man. How tall are you btw?

[IwannaBeTaller]

About 172. My dad is about 178 and he's lived a pretty successful life, so if I could be as tall as him, I'd probably find peace with my height easily.

Get a shrink.

Yeah because millions of other guys sure feel that way (considering 5'7-5'8 is male world height average) huh? Which is why there are millions of people getting LL right?

So point being, as real as your think yor feelings are, just remember it's all in yor head, and guess what you need (especially considering your comments).

No I agree that it's all in my head. I seen psychologists in the past and none were able to help me, I was open for help but the height neurosis just doesn't go away.

Height is not all, there are other things like intelligence . Think that the good thing is that height can be fixed, dont live a miserable life.If you really feel that bad, you have two options: overcome height neurosis going to a psychologist or save  your money and run to a good surgeon .

first of all i want you to re-measured yourself at night, that height we count. Secondly its your mental issue, try to gain money, friends and long term vision, then its will be less painful for you, if you will attempt this surgery after 2 years, there is no reason to be sad for 2 years, make sure that you will be taller because this surgery exist. Smile and enjoy your life, Good luck.

What? Not me.

[The Kaiser]

What? Not me.

you mean that measuring Morning height better?

[IwannaBeTaller]

Neither are better or worse than each other.

Ok I measured myself at night and morning. Morning height = 172cm || Night height = 171cm.

I'm thinking of doing external tibias for 5cm. MAX 6cm and I'll only push from 5 to 6 if doctor gives me the green light, if not I will be more than happy with the 5cm.

if he gave you the green light for Max 7?

[DreamOf180cm]

if he gave you the green light for Max 7?

That would be quite tempting I'm not going to lie, however from what I've read on several diaries the "safer"  number for tibias  is 5cm and after 5cm is where the problems start. Now I'm not going to get greedy (I would be happy with 5cm and VERY happy with 6cm) , but say the doctor gave me green light to go for 7cm and I'm at 6cm, I would really have to evaluate my situation. I would like to say I would stop at 6cm even if I got a green light to go for 7cm as being 177cm would make a VERY happy man and I wouldn't want to risk for another cm. Then again, in the heat of the moment things can change.

[IwannaBeTaller]

7 cm would make you 178 if I calculated correctly.

[DreamOf180cm]

Yes correct. 177 would mean the world to me. That's the number I want to hit and put everything behind and move on with life. As for wanting to be 180 (my username), after reading a lot, I figured that 9cm in 1 surgery would be too much, so I won't risk doing 9cm. At 177
I'll slap on some airmax's and say I'm 180

[IwannaBeTaller]

I'm 171-172 and I think external tibias with a moderate goal of 5-6 cm would be the best and cheapest option for me too. I think 177 is a beautiful height, the number looks pretty nice too: 177. I could of course try to be 180 or more but I want to be a humble person and I hope 177 will be enough for me to find peace with my height.

Yeah lol the number looks nice. Which doctor are you thinking and when?

[IwannaBeTaller]

Not one of the expensive ones. One that I can afford that is also not a butcher.

I am 1.63 and i would love to be 171.
I would not be here if i am 1.71 

[DreamOf180cm]

There was someone I read about who was 177cm who did like 5-6 cm. I was like I wouldn't be here if I was 177cm. 
In the end it's very personal and everybody has their own personal reasons.
