Current height: 5'8 Sitting height: 94 cm Wingspan: 173 cm :(
Goal: 5'11 - 6'1
At 5'11: http://i.imgur.com/MyYwN8h.jpg
At 6'1: http://i.imgur.com/0BjtDP9.jpg
Do you guys think I could pull of 6'1? Obviously my arms are short, but I don't mind having short arms, even to a slightly weird extent, as long as it's not freakish.
-
look fine for me in 5`11

I know I do. That's why my question was about 6'1.
-
I wouldn't go above 5'11", it looks weird. Do the surgery and get to 5'11" and then buy a pair of airmax ;)
-
Does anyone think the 6'1 pic looks freakish? Like I said, weird is ok as long as its not egregious.
-
6'1 doesn't look normal I'm sorry but I didn't see anything off in the first picture. Your arms will look a bit small but if you fill them up with muscle mass you should be fine.
-
I think you guys are a bit picky about proportions. I showed it to others and they said it looked a bit off but not freakish.
-
Here's a better version of the 6'1 pic. Perhaps the worse quality was affecting your perceptions.

I think you'd need arm lengthenig too to pull off 6'1.
-
Your arms look short in both pics imo, but 5'11 is doable no doubt. I dont think anyone would notice anything strange other than people who are aware of proportions and LL.

I don't think 6'1 looks freakish. It is weird to us who look at proportions but it's not freakish, is it?

If you're looking for approval, Go to the old forum where people will say that you look good even doing 6 inches, And be disproportionate for the rest of your life.
5'11" looks fine, But you really have short arms. Don't go over 5'11"

Oh look another guy who likes to subtly flaunt about his proportions over others on the forum. I've actually showed the pic to dozens of people not in the LL world and they didn't notice anything off. Only people aware of proportions notice it. Fact is I would probably go years before anyone noticed something wrong outright. It's a small percentage change in arm length: 42 to 39%.

I guess it's hard for people to understand I am doing this for very practical reasons: dating. I don't give a if my arms look bad. As long as it's not outright freakish and conspicuous that's good enough for me. The added height will have a positive effect on my dating life whereas the added disproportionality will most likely have 0 effect.

If you're concerned about dating then lenghten to 5'11 and buy a gym membership, get a nice haircut, buy some good looking clother, work on your charm and see if you won't end up a casanova a few years down the line.
If you really want to get to 6'1 (and I understand that I really do) you need arm lenghtening as well. I'm sorry but it looks bad you will just have to weigh the pros and cons of getting extra surgery, I have kind of short arms as well so I've thought alot about this and trust me 3 inches is the most your frame can tolerate without somehow lenghtening your arms.

The thing is you're analyzing this from the perspective of someone whose brain is highly attuned to notice disproportionality. When I showed this to people outside the LL community and asked them if they see anything weird, they said: "hairy, skinny, blurred out face", etc. Nobody picks up on the arm length unless I tell them.
Fact is if I get to 6'1 the cons will just about never come into play and the reality of being actually "tall" would help a lot. I guess I should just ask people outside the LL world as those are the opinions that matter - people who have never thought about or carefully examined arm proportions in their life.

+1, You will be sorry when you sit next to a genuine 6'1" , And see ALL the proportion differences like: hand size,head size,width and etc. How many 6'1" people have you seen with a wingspan of 173cm?
Even if you do AL you won't be proportionate, You cant lengthen this much.
-
It's funny how the phrasing is I "need" arm lengthening. LOL. Fact is not a single person outside the LL world noticed something wrong. I will probably lengthen to 6'1, enjoy the benefits of being considered tall, and get a comment about my arms once in a blue moon.
Arm length is usually guaged compared to torsos btw. The amount of times most people gauge arm length relative to total height is usually 0 in their entire lives.
-
such amount of lengthening will require 3+ years to recover,just do 5'11 and ur arms will still look good

No it wont. 7.5 cm femurs first, 5-5.5 tibias like 7-8 months later, by a years time I will probably be walking again and able to interact socially. Sports can wait.
-
Sorry but LL is nothing for you. Doing LL for dating is as retarded as it gets. You will probably have a mental breakdown before you even get to 6cm, because you sound like a wimp.

And people say this forum is nicer :D :D
Doing LL for no practical purpose and just for personal height neurosis is actually much dumber in my opinion but I don't like to rustle people's feathers. If you're not happy with yourself before you have much bigger mental issues. Fact is height for men is hugely important in dating. 6'1 vs 5'11 is a significant improvement.
I guess people are so hugely blinded by proportions considerations they don't realize no one in real life gives a flying f*** unless it's freak-tier.

By all means, Go for it. Remember to keep us updated.
So being okay with your self-image and doing this extremely invasive surgery for a larger dating pool is a-okay, But doing it to be happy and in peace with yourself is "dumb" ?
This forum is a thousand times better than the other, Its more realistic and conservative.
Maybe a bit inactive compared to the old forum but i think that this community is much better.

Firstly my head is above average, it will be perfectly normal for 6'1. My torso will be a bit small, maybe 30th percentile. Obviously I will never be a true 6'1 guy because my bones are simply not that long and big. I'm not trying to be. This isn't a self-image issue where I need to be a "true" tall person. I just want to get the social benefits of being tall while getting by with somewhat off proportions.
In regards to your second post, I think it makes much more sense to do this for a tangible life benefit than to do it for a neurosis. Both are fine in my book, capitalism allows you to spend your money however you want. I think this is all semantics anyways. I get insecure being one of the shorter guys or being shorter than a girl, knowing how much they care about height. It's all relative to others anyways, height doesn't matter in a vacuum.

Another virgin, if you can't get any pussy now you never will. Doesn't matter how tall you are. LL won't change your life as drastically as you think it will. But whatever, you sound like one these guys who will probably never do LL.
And btw. girls don't give a fk if you are 5'11 or 6'1, if you are above 5'10 you're fine, unless she is 5'11 or something like that.
You really think height is all you lack? Wear some boots, you still won't have any dates because you're probably ugly as fk.

I've gotten laid a fair number of times and I'm decent looking. Regardless, I think this guy should be banned. You guys are telling me this is the "legit" forum meanwhile guys like this are lowering the standards here below anything on the old forum.

We're only giving you our opinions to try to help you. Do you realize that? We're not trying to insult you by saying you'd look bad at 6'1. We're just saying that you may really want to look at that mockup before permanently modifying your one and only body.
-
Just do one LL and get to 5'11. If you think your proportions can handle 5 more CM after the initial 7CM (like Sweden's proportions can), then go for it. You may find the first LL so painful that you don't want to go back for seconds.
-
He is right to some extent, Don't think that this will dramatically change your life. Yes, You will get some benefits from being taller, But they won't be life changing (unless you're a borderline dwarf).
About the forums... I view it as democracy vs totalitarianism, No need to "hail" the moderator's. You can say pretty much anything :) . There is no moderator on the street, You won't be able to call the moderator if someone verbally offends you or calls you disproportionate. However i don't agree with his vulgar approach.
At the end of the day, You know whats best for you. No one here means you harm, You're here to hear our opinions on your proportions so you can make the best choice regarding LL.
-
I agree that profanity should not be tolerated on this forum. Let's keep the discussion civil.

Ya I do but some people here have called me dumb, ugly, a troll, etc. So I hardly think people here can claim the innocence card.
The advice I got at old forum was more helpful. While my proportions look crappy to those who know what to look at, 99% of people would not notice or even care. You think a 5'9 girl for example would care more that I am 6'1 vs 5'11, or that my arms are short? The height would give me a big advantage with her and she probably would laugh as if I made a joke if I talked about having short arms. That's the reality and anyone who denies this has a severe lack of social experience.

I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody. Are you looking for a serious relationship or one night stands, Cause to me it sounds like you just want to have a larger dating pool for the second reason. ;D ;D ;D ;D for this kind of money you could hire so many hookers ;D And it would be cheaper too, No need to pay for diners,concert tickets,movie tickets,gifts and etc. Jokes aside tho, If you want to be in a genuine relationship height won't be the MOST important factor, If a 3 foot dwarf can get a 5'7" wife, What stops you at 5'8" (a bit below average)

People on here needs to get off his back, sure I think he's wrong too but that doesn't make him stupid, ugly or a troll. Posting on an internet forum is like talking to a bunch of upset kids -the slightest mistep and someones starting to cry.
But seriously man some people have naturally short arms and when you're 5'11 you'll have some of the shortest. Now that's lame but it's not a huge problem. Henry Cavill has really short arms and didn't he get voted sexiest man alive or something? If you continue to 6'1 you won't be normal anymore you will be weird, it's your life man but listen to us -don't do it without compensating with arm lenght surgery.
Also it's true that height is really important but so is broad shoulders, powerful frame, handsome face and decent grooming (shave your chest wtf man) don't get too hung up on height. You will be much more attractive at 5'11 rather than 5'8 but you'll also be much more sexy with some muscle and grooming cheers.
