Quote from: BelowTheMean on March 07, 2017, 12:40:12 AMSo thank you for responding to my posts, DIFM.. it has given me a lot to process. I'd like to think I'm fairly level-headed about the whole LL thing. I have the goal of financial independence and have always been a saver, so I actually do have the assets to pay for femurs with Paley in cash. However, the cost is too big a percentage of my current net worth, and I haven't figured out the best way to take a break from my career, so I never got close to pulling the trigger. I know there are definitely some guys on this forum that would spend all their savings to get the surgery, but I'm not one of them. I will be taking an indefinite break from the forum. While I can never close Pandora's Box, maybe I'll reach the point where I'm just okay with being 5'7". If not, I'll be back... hopefully after I have achieved the aforementioned level of financial success and tried out the corresponding dating life.
Best of luck on your bone growth and hopefully taking the rods out will fix your gait!
Yup, that's a very pragmatic response, and I agreed with everything you said. I think you're better off without the surgery, and instead focus making money. Half the girls I've been dating have been at or under 5'7", and they're really great girls, too. So it's not like you're screwed at 5'7".
And yes, I do think that I'm dating some pretty out-of-my-league girls. For example, this 20-year-old Colombian model and I have been talking to each other lately on Instagram, and she has like 100k followers on Instagram. I'm pretty sure that she's not just going to talk to some regular dude. I haven't reached that status where I can talk to the Instagram models who have 1 million+ followers, but I don't think that I'll ever reach there, because I'm not white, nor a male model/athlete/singer. But working on my body is the last step for me to reach the "perfect male" status in my opinion. I think once I get a six-pack, it's pretty much game over. But at the same time, I'm pretty happy with the girls I've been pulling in anyway. So it's not like I'm unhappy with myself until I get a six-pack. I'm not going to trade my height dysphoria with a six-pack dysphoria. I'm pretty happy with life in general right now. I just hope you guys can reach that point, too. And yes, being richer is the key component here, not being taller.
