Can it even possible to do this privately?

Quote from: boeing366.5 on February 08, 2020, 06:19:04 AMDid LL have a role to play in not getting married @Medium Drink? That is pretty much the very focus on this thread. Getting married is one unique point in life when you become close family with someone not blood related. And if LL is a reason for that person to reject you, your dear secret is out there with a random person you didn't marry.

No, nothing to do with LL.  I think LL actually might have been helpful in that regard.  Like BetzLandLiberator said, raw height is the most important thing, and most people don't scrutinize proportions much.  Some women wouldn't care if you were tall because of LL, as long as you were tall and had other qualities they valued.  They might even be motivated to keep your secret, although guess what everyone is going to hear about after a divorce unless it's really, really amicable. 

LL is not something most people think about, but it's not completely unheard of either.  We're all here because we heard about it at some point and tucked it away in your memories for future use.  If you go away from your family for six months and come back 2-3 inches taller with scars on your legs and really long shins or thights, they'll figure it out.  And it's not black and white either: the less gain and scarring and the better your proportions are, the less likely people will be to suspect LL surgery.

Dear Medium Drink of Water

I think you are the only one who has understood what I was trying to ask in this post. You are absolutely right. Imagine you get married and somehow your partner finds out you had LL and you intentionally didn't tell her. Some more things don't work out in the marriage and you both decide to divorce. She's going to tell everyone about your LL as a reason for divorce or maybe even in court. (I'm using "you" as any LL veteran here of course)

Dear BetzLandLiberator

Where are you from? I think you have had bad company. I would not want to even be friends with someone who is ashamed because they were with someone short (or any other physical attribute). Why would they be with someone they are ashamed to be with in the first place?

As for comments made in poor taste, yes there are plenty of people in the world like that, but I Think it's best to weed out such people from your social circles someone who would call anyone "half a person". I would avoid someone like that like I would avoid dog p00p on the sidewalk.

Your reasons to get LL are not something I am arguing about however.

Dear limewalk

Yes I sort of agree with you. The ones who are happily married and are able to convince their wives (or husbands) to support their LL journey are in a much better situation.


I get the feeling that many people who get LL are younger people who have not paid much thought about getting married or older people who have given up on the idea of settling down to start a family and just want to improve themselves. There are however many people who are doing this without being ashamed about it and with family and friends' support : I envy their mindset.

Who flippin’ cares what they think or what others think.

Bottom line - Do what makes you happy, you only have one life.

Period.

This is cosmetic surgery.  100% of why to do it is to change what others think of you.
