if you are doing LL for getting more dates, don't bother! it comes from within, the x-factor. my friend is about 170 cm, maybe shorter and he bags many girls. Once you are around 170cm+, height is no longer a critical concern.

but then again, height DOES help, but it is part of a bigger equation which includes how your face looks and your personality/humour.

Most of us don't do that for chicks.

The most repeated reasons are:
-Overcoming short stature
-Getting in peace with your body
-Just pure wish to be taller(cuz i can)

TIBIKE200 · « **Reply #2 on:** July 21, 2016, 03:12:51 PM »

So why did you do it? And why you want more?

aussieboy · « **Reply #3 on:** July 21, 2016, 03:20:46 PM »

I do it for sports, and not for chicks.

aussieboy · « **Reply #4 on:** July 21, 2016, 03:21:24 PM »

getting in peace with my body and not feel overwhelmed each time a dude towers over me (insecurities I guess)... and it is related to sports that I feel inadequate at this height.

How does something as damaging as LL help with sports? I'm genuinely wondering.

aussieboy · « **Reply #6 on:** July 21, 2016, 03:24:11 PM »

I already jump higher than before for basketball, and get more rebounds, compared to my earlier height. It helps in the paint, in a very scary way.

TIBIKE200 · « **Reply #7 on:** July 21, 2016, 03:32:25 PM »

So you did this to cure insecurity... Like any other prospective LLer

aussieboy · « **Reply #8 on:** July 21, 2016, 03:33:22 PM »

but that's probably cause I train like anything from 3 to 8 hours a day, 3 times a week... endurance and balance really suffered though. and it is kinda uncomfortable to stay in half squat position as is common in basketball. gotta get used to it. I am only 4 months after frame removal, so I don't know. I started doing plyometrics yesterday.

mostly insecurity........ =/
but.. I do not feel as insecure now that I reached 6 feet. Many guys may be taller than me,but they cannot defeat me in any way as they are fatter, and less healthy or strong as me.

You know the most common down-fall of those with BDD is thinking that cosmetic surgeries are the answer, right?

aussieboy · « **Reply #10 on:** July 21, 2016, 03:36:58 PM »

I know... I get many chicks, I have a ripped body, I am six feet, I have a decent looking face (above average) - and I don't feel good.. I am starting to suspect it is BDD.

Honestly dude, it does sound like it. Get therapy...it works.

aussieboy · « **Reply #12 on:** July 21, 2016, 03:46:32 PM »

yup that's a good idea. shall see a counsellor and maybe a psychologist. there must be a reason why people are walking around below six feet and with beer bellies, and they accept it. me? I am always trying to become better, work harder. Go-getter.

TIBIKE200 · « **Reply #13 on:** July 21, 2016, 03:49:37 PM »

Question that you need to ask youself is: What I dont like about myself? Is it the looks? Or is it something inside me?

You have everything in terms of looks so your insecurity (If you have one) is based on something in your character you dont like. You may not even know what trait in your character you dont like but surely, from your description of your looks (with now being 6'), it's not an outer trait you are discontent with

Yeah, the 85% of men below 6' have it tough lol.

Make sure to get a shrink that specializes in BDD, a vast majority shy away from it because it is hard to treat. Average treatment for BDD is 8 years.

aussieboy · « **Reply #15 on:** July 21, 2016, 03:52:48 PM »

I am definitely more popular with girls than before..... get numbers much more easily, get compliments about my height.
It's just this weird feeling whenever I pass by a guy who is taller, I start comparing.. In the locker room, I compare too, and that is why I made mine bigger (without surgery) and now I am content with my size. On a scale of 0 to 10, I am pleased with my looks to the extent of 6 or7 so I am not sure if it is BDD. I definitely function well or average in society.

Not a shrink - I am not into medicine. I am 28 but I am told I look 22. Anti-Depressants make you look older..

aussieboy · « **Reply #16 on:** July 21, 2016, 03:54:30 PM »

I don't have everything in terms of looks - I do get rejected every now and then, which hits me a little, but less and less over time. I can't please everyone.

TIBIKE200 · « **Reply #17 on:** July 21, 2016, 03:57:21 PM »

You made your D bigger naturally? Never heard of that...

But you are contradicting yourself.... At the start you say that height is only part and your friend and bla bla bla.
Now you write about how it's much more easier and stuff. Be consistant

CCMidwest · « **Reply #18 on:** July 21, 2016, 03:57:39 PM »

I see a shrink and don't take any medication. In fact my shrink advised strongly against taking medication.

in Canberra, only half of the white guys are below 6'. it is daunting.

dating was not a consideration at all for my height increase. it helps slightly, but not a whole lot. I certainly didn't experience a whole lot of change.

Government funded studies of 20-24 year old white men strongly disagree with you.

aussieboy · « **Reply #24 on:** July 21, 2016, 04:03:28 PM »

anyway, food for thought. there is this game of one-upman-ship I encountered yesterday.

Girl: you guys are so tall.. whats ur height
Me: 182 m - around there.
another guy: 187 cm

I was like shocked, lol? He seemed at most 184 cm or maybe even same height as myself. My basketball coach was 190 cm and he certainly doesn't look that tall, or anywhere close at all.

And last night I spoke with a girl friend and she agreed, he doesn't look 187 cm at all. In fact, he said he was 185 cm when they first met, lol.

All men lie about their height... No matter how tall they are... People usually tell me I am 175 or something... I am 171.... It's because of men adding usually 4-5cm to their height (1.5-2 inches) that in the end society thinks that if I am 175 how the hell does a 171 guy looks.

aussieboy · « **Reply #28 on:** July 21, 2016, 04:06:58 PM »

ah okay, out of curiosity anyway. I went to Tinder, selected that I am gay, and took 100 guys, ran into an excel spreadsheet. Average was 178+ cm. Question is, do guys inflate their height on Tinder?
