Yeah, people have been doing this overseas (especially in Asia as well) for a while. Puts a new spin on "growing pains".

Usually it's men though. Short women have no trouble finding partners whereas short men usually do.

It's been proven in sociological studies that taller people are thought to be more attractive, successful and competent, and are thus (sub)consciously treated slightly better by others. However, as with any cosmetic surgery, the main reason to do it is dissatisfaction with self-image.

If only it didn't involve lots of pain, and been unable to do some things for 9months, then I'd consider it

Some countries sell these height-increasing shoes (kinda like high-heels but the whole base is raised). They look super-dorky like orthotic shoes but they can raise your height by around 5-6 cm.

[180Roman]

[zippo]

[180Roman]

how did u do it???

i grew ,

i went from like 155cm to 180cm in 2-3 years

hopefully i stopped growing now coz the 180 provides minimal head room, especialy with a helmet

i'll DO IT!

[zippo]

i am stuck at 171... guess who is the culprit??? this MILO drink... din't keep the promise..

[sloutch]

^ Zippo, you should have tried this

I'm 194cm and i wanna be slightly shorter

I'd say she'll have problems with her bone when she gets old as women have osteoporosis after child birth

[bombtrack]

i'll DO IT!

What's your goal height? 7ft?!?!

[Russman]

My Girlfriend would love me to do it. She's about 3cm taller than me.

I like being short though. More advantages than being tall unless you play basketball...

[femno]

^HAHA Russ, it is funny how shes a fair bit taller than you! Judging from the other night it looked a bit more than 3cm too!...just stirring!

"broke both her legs in four places "

OUCH!

Somebody has been watching too much Gattaca!!

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

aparently this has been used for a while to make midgets into - well - really short people....

they do arms and legs so 8 breaks in total, and you are in bed for over a year!
