Oh for sure. Most guys on those LL sites who are around my height note that they get a massive boost in their dating prospects with 2-3" added on. It makes perfect sense to expect this based on average male/female heights.

ie. I am 5'7.5". The average woman is 5'4.5". The average woman wears 2" heels when going out, and wants her man to be noticeably taller despite this (ideally probably 2-3" taller). So an average woman likely starts instituting a real "penalty" on men below 5'9"-5'10" or so.

I would surmise that my height would be "unacceptable" to at least 50-60% of women (without something major to compensate). By contrast, at 5'10" after 2.5" LL, at most 25% of women might find my height "unacceptable".

So this height increase would have opened up my prospects in the dating market from half or less of women to 75% of women. ie. I would have 1.5-2x as many dating opportunities.

That kind of multiplication might mean a lot to an average man. But on the other hand, if I am matching <1/100 girls on Tinder due to other factors like my face or race, etc., then a 1.5x or 2x multiplier means almost nothing. The only meaningful boost will come from fixing the more fundamental problems.

I need 3x multipliers or 5x multipliers to get anywhere. LL and elevator shoes are much lower yield.

Right, but I think that the multiplier could increase in value after the jaw surgery.

LEt's return to the Gaussian:

And let's assume that the LL surgery buys you, say, 0.50 point, for the sake of convenience.

If you're currently at -1.50, then the LL surgery will take you to -1.00 which will not yield you substantially benefit. However, if the jaw surgery is twice as valuable as LL, then it will take you to -0.50, and the LL surgery can then take you to 0.00.

The jump from -0.50 to -0.00 is far more valuable than the jump from -1.50 to -0.50. It's actually roughly 0.1915/(0.9332-0.8413) ~ 2.1x more valuable.

But let's forget specific numbers. The point is that for someone who is below average, I expect separate facets of looks-maxing to amplify each other.

Leg lengthening surgery is of course still out as you cannot quit your job for a year, but the jaw surgery could, for example, increase the prospective yield of body recomposition.

Agreed 100%. I find your post hilarious because sometimes I think I'm crazy for thinking so analytically about these things but then you're just as bad. :)

dicaprio, pitt, charlie hunnam, travis fimmel
Jude Law could compete head to head with any of those
But he chose to remain a NW3

I wouldn't go that far. Fimmel (who is "only" an ~8 imo) and POSSIBLY DiCaprio I can see, but prime Pitt and Hunnam are on another level facially imo. If Law is like an 8.75-9.0, they are 9.25-9.5.

I never saw the appeal of Jude Law to be honest. Then again, I'm not female.

I've always thought that Jude Law looked like a slightly better version of a young Phil Collins;

This comment has nothing to do with the respective hairlines of these two men.
They both just have that unremarkable, English private school boy look.

Collins rocked for a long time. Genesis is a great band.

We have to give Phil credit, because let's face it, he replaced Peter Gabriel.

In the eighties, Gabriel had a full head of hair to.

They have similarities but Jude Law is much better looking.

Compared at similar ages:

View attachment 86231

Same hairline but Jude has a better jawline, is slimmer, and dresses better.

Have to respectfully disagree.

Jude Law is more effeminite looking, much like a female looks more attractive to a man.

Since you are attracted to females, you find him better looking.

Me, I'm attracted to lesbians. So, if he wore lipstick, and started playing basketball, who knows,
maybe I would say he was better looking.

Hi dude. I like your user name. Are you really a Dallas Cowboys fan?

For the record; the greatest ever Dallas Cowboy was Neon Deion Sanders.

it's true that such hair line would be deadly pretty much to 95% of males
View attachment 86731

if i come close to it, i know its time to wig or rope

That's mad.

Shows why it's always worth keeping back 3/4000 grafts for a densely packed hairline hair transplant from a Rahul or similar. Worth saving up for.

Yes, you'd have a bald crown, but that's far outweighed by face framed with some decent hair. Plus one of Replicel, Tsuji will come along within the next 5 years to fill the crown plus build out the hairline further

Would still love to look like him and buzz. I'd feel like a 7 - easily.
You are delusional. That guy is a prime pussy killer with hair, he can't pull the buzzcut, then again no one except robust turbo jocks can.
Oh and that guy's dad is bald. Im sure he is on finasteride, and he seems to be lossing ground slowly.

Hairloss is insane.

You mean Rahal right? Who is the best in the world at hairlines?

I never undestood why people get most of their density on the crown. Morons, can't they see hairline is everything? the crown is so easy to mask with poor density.

Leg lengthening involves:

- $100-200k investment to do properly (internal femurs with Paley or Guichet)
- 6 months of being off work, unless your work can be done completely via remote access with a laptop
- Risks of nonunion (bone not fusing back together), nerve damage, permanently warped biomechanics

Probably I would do it if not for the 6 month requirement. Guys who do this usually either own their own online businesses (eg. ecommerce sites) or quit their job to do it and then just hope they will get another job after.

It's also easy to see how much benefit LL will give you or not by just buying height enhancing shoes (eg. tallmenshoes.com). When I wear lifts/elevator shoes I get zero more positive attention in a nightclub or bar. Similarly, listing my height at 5'9" or 5'10" doesn't get me higher reply rates online. So to me I know that's not the limiting issue.

Fixing my jaws will be higher yield. And if I can get through it properly I doubt I would care about LL.


It's impossible to get LL unless your parents are rich. It's insane anyway. Legs never fully heal. A manlet kicking you in the leg will destroy a 7 ft monster after LL. It's over.

The hairline is immeasurably more important than the crown.
