In the real world (i.e workplace and basically every activity other than chasing pussy) these are far bigger markers of status than height and women.

depends on your height and what you are blaming it for. In my case, I dont blame height for anything besides the lack of a much much larger dating pool.

Socially, height has no effect.
workplace and career, height has no effect
 how attracting you are to the other sex (physically speaking), ohh yes it does (if the other parts of the package are average or above

Yep.

Really the only place height matters is in the world of casual sex.

I think there's a point with this.

But if you're dating for an actual long-term relationship and are marriage-minded...height still counts. Obviously it counts more with online dating, but the problem is...most dating happens online now. I've noticed people now when they're out with friends just want to be with their friends (and rightfully so)...everyone knows they just have to click onto their online profiles to get a date for the evening after. So height can still hurt you with long-term dating/finding a wife you're actually attracted to.

I've never done online dating, so I wouldn't know.

I see your point though yellowspike.

Lots of ways to meet women in real life though...

Edit: I would highly discourage any man in the western world getting married anyway. Especially if you are financially successful. Just sayin'

I think meeting in real life is better. For many, MANY reasons. But especially if you're below 5'10". I've heard too many women say they count height more online simply, because, well, they can. If they're getting tons of emails, height becomes an easy chopping block (along with race, I'm guessing). Height counts less for LTR/marriage than for hook-ups, yes, but it still counts there too. Since (unfortunately) most dating, casual or otherwise, tends to happen online now. That's just the general trajectory society has taken.

Where I live, women tend to be very unapproachable. They don't want to be spoken to at the gym (unless you're literally a perfect specimen), when they're with their friends they generally just want to be with their friends (which I actually understand - I don't want to be bothered with "who's here!?!" when I'm with my friends either)...there are ways, yes, but a lot of that is luck too. Better to meet through friends. When I was at a crazy bar last week, women "approached" (more like felt me up/violated me) me, but they were obviously drunk, and not that attractive for my standards lol.

I have had my share of family problems and the hereditary mental issues passed on. But I am hoping this surgery will fix my life. If not, I am doomed, might as well call it day and become a saint and die or something.

What are your opinions?

Help me bros. You're the only ones I can talk to about this without being called a wussy or manlet. Give me a hug, these are tough times

There is a section from a book in which the author, a plastic surgeon, talks about the effect of plastic surgery on people's sense of self-worth and personality:

"Some patients showed no change in personality after
surgery. In most cases a person who had a conspicuously
ugly face, or some "freakish" feature corrected by surgery,
experienced an almost immediate (usually within 21
days) rise in self-esteem, self-confidence. But in some
cases, the patient continued to feel inadequate and experienced
feelings of inferiority. In short, these "failures" continued
to feel, act and behave just as if they still had an
ugly face.

This indicated to me that reconstruction of the physical
image itself was not "the" real key to changes in personality.
There was something else which was usually influenced
by facial surgery, but sometimes not. When this
"something else" was reconstructed, the person himself
changed. When this "something else" was not reconstructed
the person himself remained the same, although
his physical features might be radically different."

Basically, plastic surgery does turn a switch in your head, AND no consultation can fix it, IF what you changed with plastic surgery was the actual source of your low self-worth. If height is the only visual thing holding you back from greatness, then it will help 100%. I say go for it.
