Quote from: lessthanavg8300 on May 15, 2023, 03:32:16 PMHard to say.  I think it used to be all tummy feelings but now with this stuff being discussed online so much it could be a fully conscious decision.  Probably a mix.

True, but typically they have to drag the conversation to focus solely on dating. Here he just gave it on a silver platter. Very dangerous!

I think that dating is on the top of reasons many go through with this procedure in the end though. I don't think there is anything inherently wrong with this. What I don't agree with though is the notion that unless you are 6' tall or even 5'10 than you can't hve a normal dating life... (A thing I believe to be true with guys 5'5 and below in most western countries though)

an alarming amount of young men are maladapted and lack intimacy in the modern age. 63% of men aged 18-30 are single while just 33% of women are. these issues are presenting themselves by developing into different ventures that have exploded in popularity like incel/redpill misogyny and looksmaxxing. it's hard to watch but we naturally find ways to cope.

I wholeheartedly agree. That being said, I do think people should do it first and foremost for themselves, which I believe is generally true for things in life, not just LL. Doing things for other people is a great way to be unhappy. I do agree that if you're under 5'5, your dating life is probably where you'll see the biggest difference in a short amount of time, but it's way beyond that. Not having to think about your height all the time is huge mental relief as well, which get lost in all that dating talk.

Unfortunately we're beyond people arguing you can't have a normal dating life at 5'10. We have mentally ill people advising to do LL at 5'10. That's so ridiculous and unfortunate to see.

That's because of social media and the lack of face to face communication. What we have today imo is a big group of men who suffer from "pseudo-autism". In the sense that they grew up "talking" almost only via chat and voice massages and thus didn't acquire enough skill in the non verbal communication.
Also those stats show that women prefer to date older men (I don't agree with the incel or red pill garbage that says that this discrepancy between men and women is because multiple women are dating the same guy... that is nonsense... It might be true in some cases, but most women are not into that and won't report themselves being in a relationship)

I agree with you completely. I am doing that because I percieve myself as short. Even though I am in a relationship for over 6 years, have dated and selpt with dozens and dozens of women, I still feel this itch which in times have a negative influence on my mental well being. I do believe I might be seen as more atractive afterwards but I really don't care. I just want to never think of myself as short

Exactly, and you're 100% going to be more attractive

Even at perfect height it's unlikely that Gorlock the Destroyer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PKRdYnXoazs is going to be considered attractive. So make sure the facial aesthetics are also in order. If they're not I'd recommend https://en.e-dream.co.kr/01_intro/index.php?

As a physician; you should have enough clout to make the height a non-issue. I know at least two physicians that aren't super vertically inclined and both of them have amazing families, healthy lifestyles and are considerably happy.

Height has nothing to do with my career or with my relationship status
So why are you here on this site as you are a neurosurgeon
