Growth hormone is cope, Don’t waste your time
Theres multiple threads debunking GH giving a height increase in healthy people, in summary if you don’t have a GH deficiency it will not work, Plus the side effects are not worth it, if you want more in depth explanation I’ve linked a thread below

Height Is One Of The Biggest Advantages A Man Can Have
People massively underestimate how much height affects a man’s life outside of just dating. Taller men are generally perceived as more competent, dominant, mature, and trustworthy before they even speak. This applies in school, work environments, social situations, and leadership positions. Multiple studies have shown that taller men are disproportionately represented in management and executive roles, and economists have even documented a measurable “height premium” where taller men earn more on average throughout their careers. A Swedish labor market study found that increased height was associated with both higher earnings and a greater likelihood of obtaining leadership positions. Another well known analysis by Timothy Judge and Daniel Cable found that every additional inch of height was associated with an increase in annual salary on average. Whether people admit it or not, physical presence changes how others react to you immediately.

The Romantic And Social Difference Is Extremely Noticeable
Modern dating culture basically exposed how important height is socially and romantically. Dating apps made female height preferences obvious in a way people cannot really deny anymore. Taller men consistently perform better in dating studies, receive more matches, and are rated as more attractive overall. Research published in Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin found that women strongly preferred relationships where the man was taller than the woman. Another Dutch study found that taller men generally had greater reproductive success and were more likely to be in relationships.Even outside of dating, taller men are usually interrupted less in conversations, viewed as more authoritative, and treated with more respect in group settings. Two men can have the same personality, same face, same intelligence, but height alone changes the first impression significantly.

Why Limb Lengthening Surgery Will Become More Accepted
This is why I honestly think limb lengthening surgery will become far more normalized over the next decade. Society already accepts cosmetic enhancement for almost every other insecurity imaginable including hair transplants, rhinoplasty, jaw surgery, veneers, LASIK, and fillers. Height is one of the few traits people still pretend “doesn’t matter” while simultaneously rewarding taller men socially, financially, and romantically. Obviously the surgery is serious and should not be treated lightly. It is expensive, painful, physically demanding, and requires months of rehabilitation and recovery. But for certain men, especially those who are significantly below average height, gaining even 3-5 inches can completely change their experience in dating, networking, confidence, and professional life. Going from 5’5 to 5’9 socially is not a minor difference, it changes the way people perceive you almost instantly.
“buh-but what if I get botched?” Not an issue.
Modern limb lengthening surgery is much safer than it was 15-20 years ago, especially when done by experienced surgeons using internal devices like the PRECICE Nail instead of older external fixators. But it is still a major orthopedic procedure and complications are not rare.
The important distinction is between:
At the end of the day, the reason discussions around limb lengthening make people uncomfortable is because they force society to acknowledge something most people already know intuitively: height matters a lot. It affects attraction, confidence, authority, perceived competence, and life outcomes in measurable ways. Being tall obviously does not guarantee success or happiness, but pretending it offers no major advantages is disconnected from reality. There is a reason taller men are overrepresented among CEOs, political leaders, actors, athletes, and men considered conventionally attractive. As surgical methods continue improving and becoming safer over time, more men are going to view height enhancement the same way previous generations eventually viewed orthodontics, hair restoration, or cosmetic surgery in general.

The important distinction is between:
- minor/manageable complications
- serious permanent complications (“botched” outcomes)
- delayed bone healing
- muscle tightness
- nerve irritation
- reduced flexibility
- uneven gait during recovery
- needing additional physical therapy
