I also did LL and get the same reaction. I understand it to a point since in my case, I really didn't need it. Before LL, I was tall enough to be respected wherever I went. I had a good job and hooking up and dating women was not a problem for me. I view LL the same as you. In fact one of the reasons I did LL was that my legs seemed shorter than they should be given the size of the rest of my body.
LL is not accepted even by many other men who have done LL! On one LL forum there were a lot of men who seemed to be horrified that a man who wasn't short would do LL. Even some doctors who perform LL will refuse to perform LL on you if you aren't short. While there are many reasons LL is not accepted, I think one reason is that it is assumed that men (particularly white men) are super dominant and powerful. For someone with that belief, a man who has LL is making himself more dominant and more powerful since we associate being tall with dominance and power. They believe that they are somehow oppressed by a man doing LL. Obviously, this is absurd, but it seems like that is how they feel. Even people who have not accepted the basis of this reasoning can still be influenced by it.
GainedSomeInches, unfortunately, I'm not surprised that you got a lot of hateful private messages. I know that if I posted my heights before LL and after LL I would get just as much hate mail, probably more.
