underwhelmed by height gain

Edit Post

Hi all — I am not sure who is the best person to answer this (hopefully past patients), but I have read a lot of diaries here which (perhaps rightly so) venerate the height bump. However, there has to be someone who thinks this surgery was underwhelming. There is a lot of girls racially profiling guys, so no matter what your height is if a girl is shallow, height won't beat it. Is the claim that height is a bigger factor than other social factors (money, facial features, race) for men.
And then I wonder when people (excluding dating scenarios) see you with the increased height, do they really respect you more or less? I know we will in a shallow world, but is that very prevalent and obvious in real life?

First, I agree you need to care less about what people would think, but unfortunately height has a social impact and saying that "do it for you" implies that we don't think height bump will have social gains which later translate to personal well being. It is definitely tied up society and its perception. I don't know it might be just my personal experience, but being below average height would have been fine for me if the world didn't discriminate based on height. Slowly but surely we accumulate height debt.

Second, exactly decent height is key there. And there is something to be said about what makes a man desirable; money for sure but i think there are a lot of men with avg height and were acceptable, whereas there are a lot of short kings just not making the cut.

Anyway thanks for the input guys! looking for an ex patient to add their perspective (people who did it a few years back and were below avg but now are avg or above)
