6'0 to 6'3 is the best, nothing wrong with 5'11 or 6'4 though

[Gichelu]

Getting real sick of the 5'10 and up guys coming on this forum whining about how they need leg lengthening to be happy in life, then go on to say they know people taller so they need to do it. Especially love the guys who use the tall people in Scandinavia as an example of why they need to be as tall as them, despite them being like less than one percent of world population.

These taller guys always say they aren't crazy and don't need therapy, but therapy and maybe some medication is exactly what they need. They are so mentally weak that it just kills them they're not over 6 feet tall despite them being higher than or exactly at many countries average height, and yet they think they can handle the months of hell and years of recovery time for leg lengthening? Give me a break.

[Overdozer]

I have to agree. There's a thing called objectivity, I was objectively short at 167 cm or 5'6. That is 5 percentile, so I was shorter than 95% of the male population of my country. At 5'10 you're at 50 percentile, so you're taller than 50% of the male. 5 isn't 50. There's a difference between a woman 200 lbs that wants to lose weight and a woman 100 lbs that wants to lose even more weight. The second case is obviously a psychiatric disorder.

But it depends on where you live, if you live in Scandinavia what do u propose? Move to india? I'm 5'10'' I wanted to be 6' among other things because I'm the shortest at my family male side. I do not want to go crazy like Apotheosis(from old forum ) who did 10/10 cms on each limb, just 5cms I would be satisfied.

Edit: Just as a note, my dad is 6'1'' and my mother is 5'9'', so yeah...she is like my height. I don't know what went wrong haha, maybe my father had secret LL? maybe she betrayed him with a short guy? Or maybe staying home all day playing on the PC caused some lack of vitamin D hahaha

And what if it's everything at the same time? 

Seriously though scandinavians are like an inch over average of US and EU. Not a huge difference.

Most likely nothing went wrong. Your height is perfectly normal considering your parents heights, a bit on the shorter side but still perfectly healthy and normal.

It's their money and life. If 5'9+ individuals know the risks of CLL and are still bothered enough by their height to go through with the surgery and risk all the possible complications, then they have  true height neurosis just like anyone shorter who is willing to endure the same thing, and have as much of a right to LL as any old forum members, regardless of starting height.


Heightism even exists on this forum, but here it discriminates against the taller members just because some shorter members are so bitter about never getting to be 5'9+ naturally.

The only consensus that will be drawn from this thread is that life-each and every manifestation of it on this planet- regardless of the form is happens to take, is a bitch, then you die...

Depressing, but true. But life can feel very long, so you might as well make something of it.

[Polycrates.]

I'm currently working in Mexico in a sector of the oil industry. Seeing the havoc being wreaked upon the country by the Los Zetas syndicate makes things such as your height or income or any other metric of supposed success appear extremely trivial. People with less do seem to be genuinely happier and more at ease with themselves, however.

well said

[FutureTaller]

Its all about context, LL for 5'10 would be useful if the person was living in a nordic country, netherlands, serbia, croatia, or a tall area.

[Medium Drink Of Water]

Yeah, I was in Serbia recently and felt quite short compared to everyone else even at 5'10.  I understand how these 5'9'/5'10 people from tall countries feel about LL.  6'1 seemed about average in Belgrade, and most girls were approximately my height.

[KiloKAHN]

I wouldn't do CLL at 5'10. I think it's a great height for bodybuilding, fighting, and just about anything all around. This is coming from a starting height of 5'5 perspective though. I might not understand why a guy at 5'10 would want it so bad, but I don't have the same experiences as those guys so I can't judge. As long as someone is cautious and making informed decisions before doing CLL, then they shouldn't be prevented from doing it if they really want it.

[Sweden]

I'm 5'11 and I'm going for 2 more inches.

Oh yes, I'm from Scandinavia.

I don't usually respond to these type of comments but dude youre such a pathetic person and a mental dwarf. You are like a selfish teenage girl. You don't mind when shorter people have LL but have a problem with taller ones because youre jelaous that they will have your dream height that you will never going to reach, and you think that they don't have mental problem but taller ones do. Newsflash, its a mental problem for everyone it doesnt matter if youre 165 or 185.

You really think that this pathetic post you posted here is really going to discourage anyone from living their dream? Yeah people over 5'9" are going to do LL, go cry about it in a corner somewhere.

Why do negative people like you even join this forum?

[GeTs]

It makes every short guy rage for some reason

[Sweden]

@Sweden: Don't do it, man.

Because?

[SpiderProwler]

Sweden you claim 180 but I remember back on old forum  you said you shrank back to 178 or 179. Did you regain the height or something?

This has nothing to do with jealousy (for me). I think people who are of average height and above in their countries, and do this surgery, are somehow mentally ill. You can cure mental problems with other ways than with the knife, especially if you are NOT short in any way. They can do whatever they want, but I would rather be 5'10 and healthy than 6' with crippled legs.

[IwannaBeTaller]

Average height people breaking their legs on purpose will make most guys rage, tall and short.

It doesn't mean that you'll be crippled, yes there is a slight chance of it happening but I'm willing to do it despite the risks. I think that if you stay in somewhat normal( if you can call anything regarding this surgery normal) range(4-5) you'll be okay, but ever person is different someone can do 8cm on one segment and fully recover while others can't do 4-5cm without messing their legs up.

Haha, wth is a 'dream height' supposed to be anyway? This isn't some damn fashion show and that you want to do lengthening just to achieve a 'dream height' shows you are a very big narcissist. Should work on that ego problem of yours with therapy rather than crippling yourself out of vanity and stupidity. Yea it may be a mental problem for everyone who does it but shorter people have legitimate reasons to want to risk their health. They're trying to stop the discrimination they get. People like yourself who want to get this at your height are just doing it out of some inflated ego problem. Seriously at your height you have to be a nutcase to think about height so heavily that you would seek out limb lengthening.It should be a no brainer that 5'11 and perfectly healthy is better than 6'1 and partially handicapped.

I'm not even gonna bother son. Peace out.

Disregard the haters Kunta kintie. Who knows you better: you or them? You have a much better idea of what will truly make you happy than they will ever admit. I can relate to you. I am almost your height and am going to get LL. I have accomplished a lot in my life, but I never felt satisfied with my height, while I felt satisfied with all other aspects of my life. I am the shortest adult male in my family. I know for a fact that I am not crazy as these jealous people claim, and I know that you are not crazy in wanting LL either. We may be vain, perhaps, but I don't think that that would consitiute craziness. I wish that old forum members wouldn't be so discriminatory. It's our body and cosmetic LL is our choice, just as it is anyone else's.

This community is here to discuss LL, to help others to get the best results with their LL, and provide support for others as go through it. THIS COMMUNITY WAS NOT INTENDED TO JUDGE OR CONDEMN PROSPECTIVE PATIENTS WHO HAVE NOT HURT ANYONE (BESIDES POTENTIALLY THEMSELVES), OR TO CRITICIZE OR NEGATE THEIR RIGHT TO ANYTHING THAT ANYONE ELSE HAS A RIGHT TO.

I will now begin ignoring comments that display such attitudes, and I encourage the other members of this forum to do the same.
