Some people who comment on here say that I am crazy or obsessed with this issue and I can only agree with them. This subject on height and height increase is an obsession of mine. That is why I have been able to continue to do the type of research which I have found no where else on the internet, in terms of breadth, quantity, insight, and quality anywhere else beside maybe HeightQuest.com on the internet at least for English Language based websites. Maybe there are forums or websites or blogs which are even bigger then here like the old, now dead GrowTallForum.com forum or the GiantScientific.com forum which no one comments on anymore the last I checked.

If I was to be diagnosed by someone like Dr. Paley on why I am so preoccupied with this fixation on something which most people would say I have no control over and can’t change no matter what I do except short of limb lengthening surgery, he would say that I suffer from Body Dismorphia Disorder. Somehow I don’t like my body, but specifically the height aspect of it. This is abnormal for someone who is around the average USA height male, at around 5′ 11″. Most people who feel any type of short statured psychological disorders would more likely be on the short side. However, it would seem that Body Dysmorphia Disorder for the issue of height seems to affect many people who people would say is rather tall. The guy I interviewed recently Joey describes himself as 5′ 10″. The old researcher and contributor to the website Kazlina comes from a family of tall women, and she is aroudn the 5’8-5’9″ range. I read about this one guy from the old Impartial Height Increase Boards who was 6′ 4″ and was so intent on increasing his height that he was ready to go to China back in the mid 2000s for the surgery. I think he said that he wanted to be 7 feet for some reason, but after many years he stopped caring about this issue.

It would seem that no matter how tall or how much we have as humans, we never stop wanting and wishing we could get more or be more. My sister does. My dad does. My current gf does. Both of my female cousin wish that too. This desire is epidemic and affects so many people.

Something that would be very fitting to the same subject of being dissatisfied with our body would be where young adult males become preoccupied with the size of their penis or genitalia. I recently found a forum that is frequented quite a lot called Matters Of Size at MatterOfSize.com.

I took the time to read over the goal of the website and was very surprised that there were men who were so fixated on this area of life that they would devote many hours of a day for many months or years just for the possibility of increasing their penis length or width (girth).

I personally have no issues with the size of my own genitalia and I am confortable with that. These men who are on the website are. I would say that the same type of dissatisfaction we here have about our height, those guys on the forum have the same type of dissatisfaction for their genitalia size. People wish to be bigger. When subjects like whether Stretching or Jelqing I realize just how unique this area of the internet is. This type of forum about the male’s immense desire to feel better about themselves through getting a bigger penis size is very unique, but also very analogous to what we are doing. It is not wrong,  and I would never judge on how these guys want to spend their time to improve themselves in the way they think they need to to feel better about themselves and think they are good enough to love and be loved.

I think that we are doing the same thing, hoping, wishing, striving, working to become taller than what is given to us naturally. Both of the endeavors stem from at least a small degree of body dysmorphia disorder. Both of these areas of study and research are the human being way of trying to change something in their physical appearance to look better.
