well I'd love to be 5 6, id feel 10x more normal than 5 4.5, but yeah I'd wear 2.5" lifts to 5 8.5, I prefer the 2.5" lifts because I get them in sneaker/formal wear.
the 3.5"/4.0" lifts are only in boot form, but I'd wear them sometimes to feel great at 5 10.
but I am comfortable at 5 8 myself, I'm single and looking but if I was with a girl, I would have to discuss with the girl what height there would be between us when walking down the streets.
I have a strong feeling she will not accept me under 5 8, walking out into the world at 5 8.5 I feel normal but there are alot of guys 5 10, and occasionally there is some guys shorter than me in lifts, but its kind of rare, it depends on the girl though, perhaps I meet a 4 11 girl and she wants no more than 5 7 from me thus I wear 2.5" lifts to 5 7.
but my life would be 10x easier at 5 6, I'd still be in lifts but things would be much better.
I'm not I'd want to be beyond 5 10 or care much about that.

heavily depressed today.
went into local chipper and looked at myself in the mirror, my under eye circles are REALLY bad, seriously I must have the worst case of any guy under 40 in a room full of 100+ men, it's all purple with "craters" in it, the texture is like something you'd see on the moon!
so I am booking in for tear trough, the carboxy therapy to fix it made a mild impact, let's hope tear trough sorts it.
I will do that mid february
costs £550 for tear trough, carboxy was £600
my hair removal will be finished in may, for some stupid reason you cannot tan while doing hair removal, I am white as a sheet but it's not an issue with hair.
my perfect hairpiece is arriving in middle march.
my friend is coming down early february.
I live in my 4" lifts to 5 8.5, I see 14 year old kids that are 5 7 naturally, it depresses me I have to live in these, otherwise I am a joke to society based on my height and also a leper to women.
I am getting there, I continue to hold on strong
