So I stumbled across this little exerpt on google. I initially tried looking up pictures of 5"6 people standing beside 5"8 people and came across a discussion instead... It was a discussion where girls were asking guys if they felt short at 5"6-5"8. One of the women gave her opinion and I thought for all the guys stressing about statistics (regarding girls) that this would give you some perspective from a lady's point of view. Let's disregard the fact that I have already given a similar account myself and hope that because it's coming from a girl that it holds more value.
Her account;
"My boyfriend is 5'6" and I love his height, 5'6" to 5'8" is actually my ideal range. I'm only 5'3" and I like being with a guy who's a little taller than I am but not so tall that I have to strain my neck to look them in the eye or kiss them. I think most guys 5'6" and over shouldn't have many problems dating because most girls just want a guy who's taller than they are and most girls are under 5'5." Once you start dropping below 5'5" I imagine it would start getting harder and harder to find girls who will like your height. It's not hopeless though, there are still plenty of girls below that height and even some girls who don't mind a shorter guy. Confidence is key too, if a guy is 5'6" and perfectly comfortable and confident about his height then he can still be very sexy. But if he's really insecure because of his height then that's only going to make things worse."

Haha, omg Ouroboros. Some of the things you come out with.... Wouldn't want to put your children through the pain of having ty genetics now.
Quote from: LookingAround on December 26, 2015, 08:00:09 AMI think dating is a zero sum game. Yes, women may say they want a guy who is just taller than them. But wouldn't they rather have a guy who is also taller than them in heels? And, when that guy is standing in a room of guys, wouldn't they rather he was the tallest or at least not the shortest?
The answer to these questions is undoubtedly yes. Of course, she might also prefer that their guy is the smartest or funniest guy in the room. She might also want a deep voice or green eyes. Regardless, height is almost always a top factor for women. Thus, in the dating region alone, the LL surgery can make economic sense by making a guy who is a 6 out of 10 into a 7 or a 3 to a 4 or an 8 to a 10 and thus allow him to secure the attraction and / or relations of a more attractive female than he would otherwise have access to.
Agree that increasing height will increase attraction somewhat..... But I disagree with everything else you said. Not all women are that superficial.
Quote from: DoingItForMe on December 26, 2015, 12:25:37 PMmy research showed me that 1/3 of women don't care about height. I know this has to be true because I've dated many of them when I was 5'5"-5'6". And I also see short guys with dates. So while it's true that a majority of women like a taller guy, it is not always the case. And that is why trying to get dates should not be the primary reason for getting this surgery. The pay off for being able to date superficial women who prefer taller guys is not worth it. Let the taller guys have the superficial girls. I rather have the girl who likes me for me. If a relationship hinges on just several inches of your height, then that relationship doesn't have much substance to begin with. I mean look at the flip side. Say you like girls with C cup breasts. Then a B cup comes by and she's amazing in every way. Are you going to be like, "Nah, I only date C cup girls".
Ahhh DIFM always knows what to say.
Quote from: PatientZero on December 26, 2015, 12:45:54 PMHey man, I know you pulled that statistic right out of your ass, but I agree with your comments.
There's a lot of self-defeating and misogynistic comments on this forum, especially from dudes who think a few inches will solve all their problems with women. After meeting LL'ers and seeing large amounts of bullcrap on both forums, I think many patients are lacking in several categories, not just height.
Women would forgive dudes for being average height, but not for being socially inept, perpetually negative, and still flipping burgers.
**Applause**
Take a bow PZ.... From now on, I will merely cut and paste this comment when required. Too many people with this attitude to keep up with.
Quote from: spaghetti743 on December 26, 2015, 04:37:02 PMIn the last few months i've been only attracted to tall women. I can not even consider short women anymore it must be some subconscious thoughts or something.
I love short women!
