Height or Wealth?

Quote from: Random Hero on October 11, 2016, 08:59:27 PMHave you ever seen dating profiles on plenty of fish? haha one I distinctly remember was '5"10 or below? friend zoned' I admit it did make me burst out laughing oh and she was 5"5 or something couldn't believe it! Safe to say I would never say a word to someone that shallow but they do appear to exist and have no shame in openly discriminating against people.

The sole purpose of the surgery is not to pull more women it's to cure me of an illness that has persisted for 7 years and I see little hope of it fading away with therapy.
I also hate the idea of shorter men being mocked when they have great slabs of muscle covering their bodies and are deemed to be making up for height (potentially true in some cases admittedly) and being labelled as having a Napoleon complex but if a tall / average height guy has a similar physique they are sxxy as hell makes no sense 

 Dating apps are not the same as real life... I also write on my tinder profile "no fat chicks"... But there is a difference between being a keyboard warrior and saying things straight to the face.
  About the muscle thing, it's true... In my gym almost all of the overly buffed dudes are either my height or shorter... I preserve an "athletic" or "slim" look and frankly, I only got compliments on my physic... Alot of short dudes are indeed compensating in the gym... I also dont find it in any way attractive seeing a 165 or a 190 guy being super buffed and having the "spongebob squarpants" physic or suffering from the " invisible watermelons carrying syndrom" (when guys walk with their hands far away from their body because they imagine having huge "lats")...

 A nice physic is a nice physic... Bodybuilders dont have a nice physic

Napoleon was 5 6", he wasnt short in that time.

Quote from: DoingItForMe on October 11, 2016, 01:18:38 AMI'd choose wealth - but not only because of wealth loss to LL, but because you'll sacrifice more than just wealth when you do LL.

I'm 5'8" - 5'9", and have to opportunity to go to 5'11" by doing tibs. Even though my pockets are deep enough that a $100k surgery is pocket change, I wouldn't go through with it all again. There's no price tag on time lost. Once you lose time, you lose it forever. Time and health should not be taken for granted.

If you want to know why doing LL for the dating world is a bad idea at 5'8", then go read the last few posts in my diary. It might change your mindset about this surgery afterwards or realign your expectations.

I really enjoyed reading your extremely detailed diary; one sentence stuck in my mind 'it does remove the feelings of sadness' that's all I want and if you've achieved that feeling through leg lengthening that's exactly what I'm going to do too, being trapped in my own mind every day is very painful, allot more so than long term muscle damage.

I was surprised when you alluded to the possibility of a bone graft which I thought was very rare in regards to femur's though...was this actually required in the end? and wtf do they do to charge $77 for Vitamin D test? haha

Its only in your mind, you are so insecurity toward women, i have a friend and he's 6'2.5 at least, he's nothing compare to me when i date. Not like i am Di Caprio or something, i want height because of my mental issue nothing more

I don't know if I need a bone graft or not. I will find out in my next x-ray. The likelihood of me needing one is very high, though. And yea, it sucks that I need one. None of the 4 other patients who were with me needed one.

But I'm just saying that 5'8" ain't so bad...

Sorry to hear about your complication DoingItForMe best of luck with your x-ray; it seems to be luck of draw but that could be said for any invasive medical procedure as everyone's bodies behave differently.

This can be said for the mind too, I'm very sensitive to negative comment's and take them to heart whereas someone else would just brush it off hence getting so upset about height which has been reinforced by peoples comments.

For me personally being taller than 25% of the male population is not good enough and I'm overcome with a horrible feeling of inferiority when out in public, being taller than 75% of the male population i.e. 5"11 would make an unbelievable difference.

I've tried 1.5" lifts and it felt great but I was a bit self conscious wearing them and subsequently taking my shoes off with a fear of being questioned about it so I know it's not just all in my head.

Possibly silly question but where does the extra bone come from which is used for the bone graft?

ًWell Said.

- Too short, Short but handsome = You will struggle.
- Short, Ugly = God with you bro.
- Normal, Handsome = More Chances.
- Normal, Ugly = Struggle.
- +6'0, Handsome =  Man you rock.
- + 6'0, Ugly or whatever = You still have chances.
