Re: Karma Or Coincidence?

I'd say Karma. If a woman talks about how "important it is" to have a tall husband, I'll reference this pic.

Has anyone ever gotten limb lengthening surgery to grow taller or thought about doing it? If so, how did you get this done/afford the surgery, or do you know of any support group that may be able to help finance this?
Also, does anyone have any ideas on how to explain getting this surgery done to those close to you who have known you for years (friends, family, peers), so that they do not judge you negatively because of getting limb lengthening surgery? I am thinking it may be possible to help get some people who are close to me to help me finance this surgery if I explain this to them, though I am worried if they are unable to help me afford this surgery, that I will not have only explained to them that I wish to get this surgery to become taller, but that I won't even have the benefits of the surgery being completed.

There is still a major taboo surrounding Limb Lengthening surgery. Most who are not short would not understand why a man would put himself through the agony for "just a couple of inches". They don't understand (or don't care) about heightism, or don't think it's a big deal and would drag you through the streets when it comes to criticism. You will become "that guy".

It wouldn't make sense for you to share that with anyone outside of maybe family and on forums like this. If you are over 23 and your change in height from LL is significant, of course others will notice.

I read on an LL forum that a guy told everyone he was in a skiing accident and had to have leg lengthening surgery to "save the bone". There was one article in Details magazine from almost 10 yrs ago where the guy said he disappeared for 6 months and left his company. You're going to have to be creative if you really want to do this.

As for financing, save, save, save. Work overtime, find another job, or freelance. Whatever it takes.

I am not encouraging you to do LL. I don't think one should change themselves because of society, but you're going to do it if you really want to do it. Just make sure you do your research.

Welcome to the forum btw.

So let's see. You guys don't like to be stereotyped, but you're here stereotyping me by ASSUMING that, not only am I a "troll", but that I've been burned by a short guy (which has definitely NOT the case). So based on this post, should I assume that you're slow and that all short men are slow, since we're now making assumptions? How about you learn the difference between "hear" and "here" first and then get back to me with a better response.

You come to a short guy forum, and use your shitty anecdotes of your own personal encounters with short guys to assert that all short men behave a particular way. What kind of reaction did you expect? Can I say that all black women are angry and all indian women smell based on the negative encounters I've had with them? A quick google or yahoo search would display thousands upon thousands of pages where people say that black women are angry and that women over 25 are past their prime. Maybe all of it is true since I see that everywhere and have experienced it first hand.

If you're not attracted to short men, fine. Leave them alone and go about your business.

COMPLETELY DISAGREE...maybe it is based off of my experience, but if time and time again I come across short men whose first approach is, "I know I may not have a chance with u because I'm short..." then I take that as a red flag of this being a long term issue. Why does that have to be the first thing coming out of a short mans mouth? I'm 5'4, so most men are usually taller than I am. I never had an issue with it, 'til they made it an annoying issue. If I were to consistently came across dudes that were over 6 feet tall and felt awkward about their height (and trust me they exist), then it would probably go the same way. I know this may sound cliché, but I truly check for a guys mental state of mind. So for me to say that I am not physically attracted to a short guy because he's short would be a lie. My last ex who was 5'11 was not great looking when it came to physical, cause had he been I would've found him attractive from the first day we met.

If time and time again I come across dark skin women who always talk about race then I should take that as a red flag of this being a long term issue. If time and time again I come across women who have kids who have troublesome relationships with the father of their kids, then I should take that as a red flag of this being a long term issue. If time and time again I come across women who are fat and are always insecure about their weight, then I should take that as a red flag of this being a long term issue. If time and time again I come across...

The internalization of the insecurity comes from outside influence, just like the dark skin complexes, weight complexes and everything else. The difference is you like other people always blame the short guy and not the bias that creates the problem.

If there were no such thing as a height bias or heightism then short men wouldn't have to feel that way, and the "never again" mindset is why short men who are not "insecure" about their height will be invisible to you.
