Can one actually get taller?
post #1

I'm 5'2'' and I have high doubts that it's possible to actually get taller. Is it even possible? Is there actual surgery or vitamins/supplements that can actually help me get taller in some way? I'm just very skeptical to be honest with you all.

I honestly don't know. I believe some people can take growth hormones, but it would need to be taken early on in life, like at a certain age. I personally think we all should be happy with who were are and not worry about our height. I think people should see the beauty in people rather than seeing problems they see as being problems.

Some people can take growth hormones? The FDA has approved growth hormones for use in kids even if they don't require it. It's lead to a slippery slope with many parents giving their kids they stuff creating a height race which is horrible. 

 

Once your bones have ossified (growth plates) growth is IMPOSSIBLE short of limb lengthening surgery, which could lead to all sorts of joint problems, lost wages and limited mobility later in life. Would you risk all of that for an inch or two max?

How much would you pay to grow taller?

If there were a procedure to make you grow taller safely or maybe a magic pill, how much would you pay?

Not talking about Leg Lengthening as that makes your legs longer. I am talking about perfectly proportioned.

I know women who spent over $30,000 on boob jobs. How much would you pay?

Wemen actually turning away on street

Hey guys,

 

i am pretty short (5,4) and indian, and not actually that bad looking in my opinion and happy with myself but the world sees this differently. Well, thats ok, i dont give a shit about most people :) But what really bothers me, on the open street, when i go for a walk for example, wemen who walk in my direction actually fucing change street sides or make an effort to not come into 3m of my personal space. Just today a young woman was jogging in the opposite direction than me in the park, she saw me, she actually fucing stopped jogging, turned around, walked a bit so i could just see her back and then started jogging again away from me. And really, i am like what the actual fuc. It's not that i would even care about those wemen. Like honestly. What the fuc is this? It is really annoying and actually bothering me a lot, even if it shouldn't...does anyone have similar experiences, or is it really just because of me. 

 

Another notice: Usually this only happens with wemen i would consider average or good looking. The ones who look REALLY good usually have to work for their looks (with sports) and got their shit sorted out and are mostly down to earth people. Those who do not look that good know good enough to not judge other people based on their looks. But this middle to good looking part of wemen i find really incredibly annoying. I could just walk around and slap each single one them in their face, like with all of my strength.

Well, what are your thought on this guys?

Chances of me getting taller?

Just posted this on /fit/, but got no responses, so I'm copy-pasting it here:

>Mom 5'6
>Dad 5'7
>Be male
>Hit puberty shortly after 11th birthday
>Mosty inherit mom's looks but 5'7 at 18th birthday last fall
>Go from eyelevel to an eyelid taller than dad (like .25 inches) over the course of April but not gotten taller since
>Now really hungry
>Sleep 8-10 hours now (used to be 5-7)
>Gained at least 6 pounds over the past 2 months
>Armspan went from 5'7.5 at most to at least 5'7.75 since early April
How likely is it that I'm getting a second growth spurt? I just want to be 5'9

P.S.: Actually, my arm span was like 5'7.3, so it grew a little more than my height
