Posted: 2/2/2007 9:36:29 PM | The fact that this surgery exists does not surprise me, with all the "do short guys have a chance" threads on here. I sincerely hope men do not take it seriously. Guys, you are fine at any height. Screw that dumb chart on how much you have to make to be attractive to women if you're short. Love yourself and love will find you.
As a side note, I do wonder why so few seemed to even notice that if his legs were lengthened the rest of him look ridiculously out of proportion? | |

Posted: 2/2/2007 9:42:07 PM | | personally, I like shorter men (under 6 ft) ....... but if that were the situation , I'd never end a chance at a great relationship because of something physical...... too shallow ! | |

Posted: 2/2/2007 9:50:41 PM | | I sincerely hope that this isn't a precursor to *you* having said surgery. There's alot of women that don't give a rat's tush over height. I even have it in my profile. | |

Posted: 2/2/2007 10:48:54 PM | | You made pretty much the exact same post a couple months ago did you not? Buddy, get over your superficial doubts. If someone cares that you are slightly below the average height, then **** them! Christ........people are so insecure about such trivial details. | |

Posted: 2/3/2007 7:36:48 AM | | Whoa now people...too many of you are treating this the wrong way! I have a buddy who went through this procedure to make his wife happy. It was extremely painful as well as expensive. It also does not happen overnight. With all the pain involved, he missed a ton of work, he soon lost his job. This caused all sorts of problems at home, and their marriage soon fell apart. To top it all off, he was only half way through the procedure, and now with one leg longer than the other he has a bad limp....He has a real hard time getting a date now. | |

Posted: 2/3/2007 8:13:45 AM | | Thats so sad gnash...What kinda woman would want him to do it in the first place, and second of all, she left??? What a ****! I once heard a story of a beautiful model, she had it all, and a gorgeous fiance. Well while she was cleaning off her makeup with rubbing alcohol, she made the mistake of lighting a cigarette. Well, she burnt her face horribly, and her hubby to be fled in a second. How could ppl be so vain, esp with someone they claim to love...geeez! makes me mad. Anyways, sorry to stray, I, myself am 5'9", and a big girl too...lol I gotta say I must browse past 80% of the men on here. Many times I've met men under 6ft, and they say theyre ok with my size, but evetually they all seek smaller women. I'm in the same boat with the short men. The tall men, and small women get all the dates...grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr ;) It's all good though, theres lots of fish in the sea! :) | |

Posted: 2/3/2007 9:01:26 AM | Dashtoronto - you really have to get over this height thing!! really - it's just not such a big deal. Any woman who only wants you because you are tall isn't worth having anyway. If I could only keep my man because I had big fake boobs, I wouldn't really want him - love is about about loving the soul of a person not just the package. The package is the initial attraction only - and after that the real stuff comes into play. This operation you keep planning is not the answer to your issues of height. Don't forget as well, unless you are very long in the body, you would look out of proportion with longer legs. Legs are in proportion to our bodies. Our height is in proportion to our arms. (Try measuring from middle finger to middle finger with your arms outstretched - it's your height!!).
What is much more attractive to a woman is self confidence and kindness, decency, honesty, a sense of humour etc. You know where I am coming from on this - we've talked about it before. | |

Posted: 2/3/2007 9:38:29 AM | | If someone cannot handle a little "flaw" like that, then I find that strange. A surgical procedure like many surgical procedures. I don't have my appendix....am I different now? | |

Posted: 2/3/2007 11:27:18 AM | It is only a superficial thing, nothing worth dumping a relationship over. I think the main concern here should be the future effects of the health of the individual after this procedure. Still not worth losing a good relationship over but would want to know if there were any complications to be prepared for later.

Posted: 2/3/2007 11:40:50 AM | It sounds pretty far fetched to me, but yes I would still love him.
I fell in love with him for who he is on the inside and how he has made me feel.
I was maybe attracted to his height and his looks as that was all I had to go with was a picture
.Don't go for looks;
they can deceive.
Don't go for wealth; even that fades away.
Go for someone who makes you smile
Because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright.
Find the one that makes your heart smile.
Once I met him and seen how beautiful he was on the inside, his height wouldn't matter to me, | |

Posted: 3/22/2007 3:24:14 PM | Well I prefer tall guys, but that's not something set in stone. Second, I would not base my dating somone just because he was tall. It's how they come together and their personality.
But if he waited a whole year to tell me how had surgery to make him taller, that isn't saying much for his trust in me. That would really bother me. So if we split it wouldn't be because I wanted to find a guy who's naturally tall, just someone that had a little more faith in me. | |

Posted: 3/22/2007 3:38:24 PM | well id say it seems a bit exsentric and unessery but hay its the 21st centery what the hell as long as he wasnt a skitz or psychopath and wouldnt affect his health for the rest of his life wouldnt bother me.
Be jst like plastic surgery!!! lol | |

Posted: 3/22/2007 3:46:02 PM | My husband was about 5'6" or 5'7" -- never bothered to measure him. After he died I had another child with someone I didn't marry. He says he's six foot something but I'd place good money on him not being over 5'9".
As I read your hypothetical I thought the height issue was just to make a point about how imposing a figure the postulated man would be. But I seriously expected some question like what if he had his legs amputated or some such thing.
I don't find tall men as attractive as men my size to begin with. That said, I didn't make my relationship decisions based on genetics as though I was starting a thoroughbread racehorse stable. Too much!!!
If I had I would have had to disqualify myself from the process. | |

Posted: 3/22/2007 4:01:28 PM | [Or will you start having doubts and not see him as being as beautiful as you used to see him before?]
The only thing that would no longer be beautiful to me is the fact that he lied to me.... FOR A YEAR AND A HALF!!!  | |

Posted: 3/22/2007 5:24:19 PM | | OMG, that is the most ridiculous thing ever! First off not all girls like tall guys, I actually PREFER guys that are shorter than 6' because I'm short and tend to get a lot of neck aches dating these guys!! Plus they don't 'fit' as well with me.... Anyhow, the only reason I would think twice about dating this guy any longer is that he had the procedure done at all. I am not a fan of any surgical procedure that anyone has done purely to make them more attractive to the opposite sex in their opinion. I really don't like fake people whatsoever, or people who have such low self esteem that they would rather have surgery than work on their self esteem issues. Botox, boob jobs, surgical enlargements of any parts of the body, liposuction, even steroids are a no no in my books. | |

Posted: 3/25/2007 10:16:45 PM | | The elg surgery wouldn't bother me at all, but the fact that he hid something like that from me certainly would. Also, if his motivation for getting the surgery was purley cosmetic/to catch a woman, it would make me wonder how vain he is and how hung up on looks and what type of extreme surgery he may do next. In my experience the more vain a man is about his apperance the more picky he is about his gf's. They tend to get mad if you get one tiny blemish on your face or horror of horrors you gain a few pounds! | |

Would you date a woman if she was a whole head taller than you?
I dunno if there's anyone out there like that... I'm 6'5, so that's well beyond Amazon status.
As far as genes are concerned, dude, what makes you think it's you that's going to determine how tall your kids are? Like I said, I'm 6'5... my mother is 5'10 and my father was 5'6... could be that you'll look up to your entire household someday.
So the bones will grow, but what about muscles, tendons, ligaments, blood vessels? Great, your head will float a little higher in the crowd at the bar, but is the attention you get going to be positive attention when you walk funny for the rest of your life because you were too insecure to just play the hand you were dealt?
My height has gained me the attention of more than my share of women. My one crooked tooth, or my personality, social awkwardness, receding hairline, and shitty job have done more than enough to drop me right back down to average again. You need to chill and realize we all have our good and bad sides.
Sometimes when the grass looks greener, its actually astroturf. Chew on it for a bit, ya? | |
