There are so many types of plastic surgery that people get daily and from my observation, none of it gets as much push back as Leg Lengthening surgery. I know dozens of women who have undergone breast augmentation, rib removal, rhinoplasties, scar reduction, tummy tucks, butt lifts, botox, you name it. There are men who have scalp micropigmentation, hair replacement and take roids. Socially, none of this is met with the amount of hatred and opposition as leg lengthening in comparison. Braces, which are commonplace can dramatically change the look of someone's face and appearance. And aren't crooked teeth genetic?

Have you seen the comments under leg lengthening videos on YouTube? Every comment is about the guy's "insecurity", having a "horrible personality", how he's "cheating", being a "narcissist" and stuff of the like. Then you'll also find comments attacking the man's height.

I have no interest in leg lengthening honestly, but I don't see the big deal if a man chooses that path. All of these other cosmetic operations are done for the same exact reasons from the recipient's point of view and for the greater social benefit from having fewer imperfections. 

The accuracy of them including what is the most obvious spec of the product and the unnecessary mention of their height in the review is what makes this gold lol. Don't get me started on how many people waste the time of others with posting humblebrags. Good one Admin! 

As almost a matter of fact, I frequently come across men who are shorter than their fathers. This is not that out of the ordinary. What I rarely see though are men shorter than their mothers. I do not doubt that some cases like this exist, but are any of you shorter than your mother?

I had to be about 16 or so. My mother took me to my pediatrician and while there we were reviewing X-rays. The doctor told my mom that after looking at my growth plates, I would grow to end up anywhere from 5'4 to 5'6. She was bang on correct.

At this time, my mother's reaction didn't phase me as I was just happy to get to be at least 5'6 considering how tall I was at the time, but looking back, I remember it like it was yesterday. My mother said, "That's it? Not even 5'8? His father is 6' and his uncles are all are taller than that!". I can't remember the conversation following that, but I didn't care. My grades were on point, I was on the baseball team, was one of the best saxophone players in my school and even had a high school sweetheart (we were together for a year at that point). What did my height matter? 

Her entire family is short. My aunts, uncles, grandfather; everyone on her side of the family is in the 5'-5'6 range. Her dad, my grandfather is the "tallest" at 5'7. Looking back at her reaction, it gets me a bit infuriated. Did she not think that I could inherit her genes? Also, it makes me think, would she have considered my father if he were my height?

At this age, while I do okay in dating, I will not say that I don't get annoyed when women who are much shorter only leave themselves open for much taller men, not because of the preference, but because they gallivant around as if them having a short son despite how tall their partner is cannot happen. I'm literally proof that it can and does happen, and not rarely either.
