Quote from: DanishViking on April 01, 2023, 05:12:12 PMDepends on your goal! If it's dating your're not going to see any difference. Maybe som of the girls with the worst personality who is really shallow and cares alot of about not so important things as height is going to like you more, but why would you attract those types anyways? At 5'9 your're not going to be discriminated and going to be judged negatively either.
And why does what other people think matter anyways?
This coping bollocks has to die.
For a start, 99% of girls care about height. If you're short, and have a girlfriend, or a ONS, it's because she overlooked your height in favour of something else. It's not because they don't care at all. As for muh shallow, muh superficial, welcome to the real world, everyone - including yourself - is shallow. Everyone would rather date Megan Fox over Greta Thunberg. Being shallow isn't bad, it's a natural thing.
It's only "not worth it" around 6ft.
Wrong, 5.9 is not short and nobody holds it against you in a negative way

Some girls will for dating. You'll definitely have a hard time in some European countries at 5ft 9.
Inb4 "I don't want someone so shallow anyway". Everyone is shallow.
Note that I didn't say its impossible to get laid at 5ft 9 (or even less), but it's a notable disadvantage vs being 6ft. To deny that is really like denying that grass is green.

Wouldn't say it's that much of a deal breaker. You'll still be taller than majority of girls.
Anyways, do the surgery if it will improve your outlook on life. Don't do the surgery just on the basis to impress more girls.
To be blunt, if you can't attract girls at 5'9, being 6'0 isn't going to help you much either.

Too much binary thinking going on. A 5ft 9 height is a disadvantage. It's not a deal breaker for some girls. It's definitely possible to have a decent sex life at 5ft 9 but you'd have a better one at 6ft all other things being equal, as you'd get access to those girls the height would be a deal breaker for. Being 6ft over 5ft 9 will attract some girls you wouldn't have previously attracted, as well as meaning you'll have to try less hard with those who were attracted anyway as they'll now be even more attracted.
Dating prospects is one of the major things that will affect "outlook on life" so it can't be brushed aside.
5ft 9 to 6ft is definitely worth it but I'd say 5ft 10 is about the cutoff where the rewards aren't really worth the tradeoff. If I was 5ft 11 I wouldn't bother.
If your goal is to date more girls, yes. You could date a lot of girls with 5'9 if your looks are good, but obviously at 6 foot the dating pool increases a lot.
I'm 5'8.5 and I just got it 3 weeks ago. At our height, even though it's not terrible as if we were 5'5 or 5'6, you cant deny we still hear short king sometimes. It's more so society now days being stupid, even if we are near average. I decided to get it and I will be 6'0 and with shoes probably near 6'1. I no longer have to hear anything that has to do with short and have second doubts about it because I know I will not be. And this is a life long, life changing fact I will deal with. Am I insecure? sure, but will I be insecure when I am 6'0, absolutely not, so why not go for it if I have the means to do so.
For reference, I chose the Precise 2.2 and aiming for 8cm on my femur. Easily the most bang for your buck. It's a harsh surgery and the hardest recovery you will go through for the next 6-8 months. But you're talking about a life time of benefits. This is not just for girls, I'm sure at 5'9 you have no trouble getting most females. Sure being 6'0 your pool of females expands by probably 20-30%, but that's not enough to justify the surgery. A lot of patients I've seen at the clinic are older men who are already married and have families. They just want to be taller because of the more respect they will get from just...people. Terrible society we live in.. it's like being racist for height. Nothing we can control, but yet still engrained in our society. But I have the means, and time, and I took action to change it.
5’9 neither short nor tall for a man. I personally would prefer someone more handsome over a taller one. It's not all about height.
No one said its "all" about height, that's just a strawman you've created in your brain.
Saying a girl might prefer someone handsome over someone tall means nothing. They'd prefer someone tall AND handsome over anyone who only has one if those boxes checked. Everything matters.
I don't really give a fk if someone is "only" doing the surgery to get girls. That's every bit as justifiable a reason as the desire to get "respect" from normies, or the feeling that it'd advance a career or anything else. 5ft 9 to 6ft would still be worthwhile.
