I just watched a video posted by Iamready and while I apologize to him beforehand as I don't mean to associate him with my line of thinking, it's inspired me to write this.

Coming from a very tall family, I always felt that the primary reason I wanted to do this surgery was because I was cheated out of my true height somehow. Sure, I had all the feelings of inadequacy/not being a 'real' man and so forth, but I think now that it's all done and over with, I'm being a little more honest with myself.

It was all for women.

If women viewed a 5'2 man the same way as they did one who was 6'2, would I have really cared that other men were taller than me?
 
If height was not a factor with women, would taller men be viewed as more capable/powerful in society (given the modern age)?

I've been asking myself a line of similar questions and no matter what the immediate answer/response I have (and would have insisted on prior to surgery) the line of rationale eventually funnels down to women.
To be clear, I am not blaming women, that's absurd. I am merely saying that no matter if you're going into this at 5'7, 5'2, or even 6'0, your ultimate goal is to appear more attractive to women, your woman, or at least a society that, perhaps inadvertently, correlates a man's 'worth' with his ability to attract women.

For the last few days I've been walking around as a 5'9/5'10 man, as opposed to my old 5'7. Even in the completely platonic encounters I've had with them(women) so far, there is most definitely something different in how they interact with me. This too I believe is an extension of how attractive they find me, even if at a subconscious level.

Again, I did not go through with this to 'bag more ladies', nor is that my intention going forward. However, it's hard to maintain that a desire for women, or at least their desire for me, was not the true reason I went through with this.
