I just hope this place doesn't end up like r/short. Especially with what I've seen here  in the past months.

Quote from: TIBIKE200 on April 29, 2017, 08:19:30 PMI am responding that way because this is an LL forum. Not heightism forum, not "howtogrowtaller.com" forum, not a psycological forum to help depressed people. This is an LL forum as in limb lengthening as in lengthening the limbs.
  This forum should help those who seek info about what LL is, which doctors do it, and have patient experiences. I looked a bit at other cosmetic surgeries forums.. Non are full of all this semi-philosofical bullcrap about heightism or to search for a better way to get boobs bigger or nose smaller. All are simply forums of people sharing experiences and info regarding the surgery itself.

 last year we saw a single troll ravage this forum and a bunch of incels,moralists, and other wakos pratically flooding this forum with bullcrap which has nothing to do with LL.

 Post in r/short not here

 Edit:
  Also, there isn't a reason for scientists to discover new ways to make you grow taller since being at your height of 5'5 or mine of 5'7.5 is not a disease. We are not handicapped. Just like there isn't a miracle way to make every women have double DDs there isn't going to be a magical pill to make every man 6' for the simple reason there is no reason for it.
 Being short is not a handicap. Being less sxxually desirable is not a handicap (If it was, we wouldn't be giving birth to the ton of ugly kids walking the streets today with all the pre natal screening tests that exist).
  No body, including me is going to take this "heightism" thing seriously because it's not real. Sticking "ism" in the end of a word doesnt make it become some kind of a reality. In this sense there would also be "Uglism", "smellism", smalldckism", "hairylegism" etc...
  Get real

Because complaining is easy. Unfortunately it's not the most effective way of getting taller

Even though I dont agree with what everyone is saying I am glad that we are actually discussing and for that I thank you guys.

You are right this is a LL forum and that I respect. And you do make good points, and I agree shortness is not a disease (unless you have dwarfism). However, we do have the human right too reach and search for ways to better ourselves. If being short was not an issue surely limb lengthening would not be growing, you are on a limb lengthening forum. LL is about making people grow taller, the idea is already here and it is never going away. I am not self pitying and if I come off as that I apologize. I am going too reach my fullest potential in life regardless of my height, I plan on being a rich superstar and fk hot bitches and do everything I want. However all I am saying is that this is obviously a market that is attracting more and more people why dont we try and get a safer market? Everything else is becoming safer why dont we try and look for a safer approach cause it is out there and it will be out there one day but in order to get there we have to start somewhere. All I am saying...

and for the person who said too state these studies, just google short men studies and the whole first page are studies on why "short men come up short" I am not going too let those studies define me though ofcourse. Plus I dont know too many men looking too get it in with African tribal women.

Anyways you are right this is a limb lengthening forum, all I meant was that this forum essentially is for people trying to grow taller. And I am saying that I think we have the human right too ask and find a way too make this market safer, like I said it will happen eventually.
If any of you could point me to a better site you think would help me?
I do appreciate the dialouge.

And again..If I sound like I am pitying myself I really do not mean too come off as that. For me it is the opposite. People who self pity want people too do the work for them, when in actuality they dont really see a positive future. I believe anything I set my mind on I can acclompish. Sure some things may be a   ton harder to acclompish than other things, but persistance is key. And that is what I am trying too acclompish, just a better way of bettering peoples lives, instead of bitching trying too make a difference.

No short guys definitely are discriminated against socially and that is wrong, it is the same reason they had body positivity for women, which in my view was overall a good thing.

But being less sxxually desirable, I agree, the fact that guys are complaining about THAT over the fact they are getting paid less, promoted less at work etc. or the fact that 58% of CEOs happen to be over 6 ft. Seriously, it makes me sad they don't have more self-respect.

Working yourself up about being less sxxually desirable is the very definition of a first world problem.

Heightism exist everywhere, someone must live in denial to not admit it.
But the only we can do is, even preLL (when it happens to us) or after (when we see someone else being mocked up for his height) to stand in our ground and ridicule the person who does it.
If every short person did that proudly and with self esteem, heightism would have been much less.

Of course, still in dating short men would have been less desirable but imo this is not as important as geting ridiculed everyday from other men for your height like you are inferior to them.

I never being ridiculed for my height when I was short but I was always ready to back myself up and never let someone insult me for something that is not my fault or something wrong generally.
Also, I never treated amy man with respect due to his height or muscles or all that, I judge people only from their character.
The appearance matters only in women for me, men are all equal and they get my respect only from their character.
