Height arms race will happen and short men will keep losing

Edit Post

I have noticed on multiple platforms from YouTube to twitter that awareness of how bad life is for short men in comparison to tall men is way up and knowledge of limb lengthening is increasing. Guessing this is due to female preference for 183cm minimum height becoming widespread on dating apps.

Once this surgery drops in price and becomes faster/easier there is going to be an arms race where if you are middle class and are not at least 175cm before your first surgery you'll still be short because you can never catch up to taller men also getting the surgery plus you will look worse due to naturally shorter arms etc and getting called out as LL awareness increases.

Be careful what you wish for to the guys who want easier and cheaper surgery.

LL is not a lithium ion battery, it's a major medical surgery.  It's not going to drop in price.

This might be true in the very, very long term (like several decades from now), but a lot has to happen before LL is commonplace enough for this to happen. Honestly, I'm not sure LL will ever be like other cosmetic surgeries in this regard.

This is what I am also worrying about before but you gotta know generally speaking average/tall men/women are not that obsessed with height like short men are and the rate of average/tall men patients is lower than that of short men.
What's more, just bc the rate of LL patients is becoming higher ang higher so there is all the time consistent increasing of LL price which prevents part of average/tall and poor men from doing this surgery to mitigate the unfairnesses.

So in 30 years people can be any height with safe surgery?

its higher because with people that participate in social media feel the need to be "perfect" and develop body dysmorphia 
but i feel really bad for my friend who is indian. he is having a rough time. he cannot find a woman to love him for the sake of god... woman just dont find indian man attractive. they all want white caucasian men, tall muscular and a lot of money.

I think if it gets popular it will be banned for cosmetic reasons. People who get it right now put a lot of effort into prep and learning (generally). I think as the surgery becomes more popular, more idiots who just want to get taller without doing any research will get it. Then we will hear more horror stories. Also with doctors like shahab mahboubian Promoting this on sites generally used by young people and kids, there will be crazy stories about “little Timmy getting LL because he saw it on tiktok” or some  .

Basically this when this surgery becomes mainstream I think it will be banned fpr cosmetic reasons at least in the US.

lol no, once it becomes a big market investors will drive research and LL will become better and better

America is the least likely place to ban CLL.  It's all about the free market here.
