Haven't they ever heard of human growth hormone?

I'm 6'1", pretty happy with my height, but I'd pay a good deal of money to be 3 or 4 inches taller for basketball purposes.

Wow, I had no idea people really cared that much about being taller. 2 years of your life to recover is a long time.

Do you shorter guys actualy get shut down by chicks for being short alone?

I'm about 5'7". It'd be better for sports, but aside from that, no way. The only chicks who wouldn't date me because of my height are taller than me anyway. I've never had issues in that department.

I already have long legs and a short torso (6'), so making legs longer would just be ridiculous.

I'm assuming they stretch the femurs out? People are going to start looking funny with short little (fibula? tibia?...whatever the bone from the knee to ankle is called), and long femurs.

People who are like 5'7 with short legs and long torso are probably the best candidates. They could get to a more respectable height of 5'9", AND look proportional.
