Is limb lengthening surgery worth it?

Post Reply New Topic

Only 8 to 10% of UK women are taller than 5ft 7inches.

I thought tall women were attracted to small men? Also short girls prefer men who are 6ft or over

I'm 6'5" and have had several short GFs. 2 short enough to walk with an arm around my leg being more comfortable than my waist. (Yeah..maybe for her)
I've responded to several profiles stating "I'm 6', prefer someone taller."
IIR... My opening line to the girl I'm chatting (up/with?) now began with "Hi Stumpy! "

It's not altitude & attitude.. it's style & smile.

It must have been unpleasant for them when you let one rip too

Honestly, not to invalidate your experience, but, you're not even short. You're "average".

If people tease you about being "short", odds are they're only doing it cos they know it gets under your skin, not actually cos you're "short".

Being "taller" doesn't magically guarantee respect or fend off "discrimination". It just changes what kind of target you are.

You can make the (very flimsy) argument that they "look bigger" on tv, but it's not like nobody ever meets them in real life. And it's not like they weren't that height when the got famous, or before they got famous.

I am relatively confident that your problem isn't actually related to your height.

No, it will not be worth it to go through thousands of dollars of surgery, months or years of recovery, and possible long term health issues, just to be a little taller, only to find out it changed nothing.
