Disadvantages of being short vs advantages of being tall

Edit Post

If heightism only negatively impacted my dating life then I wouldnt go with this procedure. Its because its a barrier and I face daily discrimination where I cant even get my basic needs met. I live with my parents and they are the ones supporting me as well as social assistance. And its not because i cant or dont want to work but success is determined first by how we look and then our personalities. A person needs both to succeed.

I wasn't saying women can't experience heightism, I just think a lot of the things I've listed women don't care for or they already experience regardless of height. You still haven't told me your height.

How short are you?

Short enough to know that heightism is real. ANd short enough to know the social benefits I will gain once i am my desired height. My deisred height is to be five feet six female.

I personally think people who do CLL to get more sex is the dumbest thing I have ever heard. My dating life is non existence and Im a short woman. this myth that short women have it easier in life or dating is sexist. Heightism affects everyone. And the more a person belongs to more minority groups the worse their shortness will impact them. I dont care about my non existence sex life. What I care about is my daily interactions with people. I want to succeed but i know that shortness is veiwed as inferiority. So I have to get rid of it to succeed.

sxx is very important for men the easier it is to get some the better. Personally I'm doing it to reach the 90th percentile and go all in on body building.

Sex is not a need. its a want. Being treated with respect. Being able to keep a job. Getting your own home..are needs. Men have been conditioned to be more sexul adventurous and women have been conditioned to be more sexual restrained. Thus thats why women often times have more self control when it comes to sex. A man or a woman can survive without sex. But not being able to provide for yourself and relying on safety needs like parents or social assistance is worse.

Heightism is real but that should not let it determine your pay, respect, or amount of friends you have. Especially for a woman. I know plenty of woman who are 4’11 to 5’2 who are doing extremeley well in everything you mentioned that is a disadvantage in being short. Im sorry but to me it just feels like your trying to find something to blame all your troubles on. This surgery will not make all those things better. If anything it will help people feel better about themselves physically. Your dilusional if you think otherwise.

Im not trying to blame my troubles. But Im short and im a person of color. So  I am a greaterdisadvantage. Like you said heightism is very real. Its not a joke. And lots of people on these height board keep bringing up the subject. Pleast stop blaming victims of discrimination and oppression. Its not our fault that we are the receving end of social injustice. Its reality. And yes I have done what I could to fight heightism..to find solutions to overcome this issue. But heightism.. lookism are the LAST forms of oppression in our society. Its a HUGe problem. But its often trvialized. Its ignored and not taken seriously.

All of us are here because we know that being taller will have more of a positive impact on our lives than our current height. So please bsing me with that ra ra crap. Its unrealistic. If so why are there thousands of people on here willing to put themselves on iharms ways to be taller. ANd its not only on this forum.. every height forum..online talks about the social consequences of being short and the social positive of being tall. Its a problem.
