Question
Growth Hormones?
post #1

im new to all this.

im a 26 year old male, im 154cm and live in japan but im british/turkish.



I never really thought about my height too much, i was never directly discriminated against(or maybe im just too dumb to notice) for my height. but I have had issues and self confidence issues related to dating because of my height. its common knowledge that women generally want taller men.



ANYWAYS



I recently came across the idea of growth hormones. does any one know how they work, if they will work at my age? does anyone have experience with them?

Welcome Heraculas! At 26, growth hormones would have zero effect on your height as your growth plates without a doubt are closed.

After your teen years it's very unlikely. After 21, rare. After 25, 99.99% impossible.

Height obsessed parents injecting their short kids with growth hormone

Parents with money aren't having it when it comes to the possibility of their sons being 5'4 adults. 

Can't say that I'm surprised that it's happening at that volume. What is surprising is the parents they interviewed wanting to stay anonymous.

She said "you should get that knee-growth surgery".

I can't figure out what made all of these women pop their balloons.
