Re: Short guy mockery on the internet

Yeah, I was just about to post this video as it was on the news. I haven't seen the youtube version of this yet, but I'm almost positive that it would be a cespool of "he has a complex" and "see this is how short guys are" comments. Oh boy.....

The fact that there hasn't been a new post on here in month proves this point... the plight of the short-stature man falls on deaf ears. I had a stature lengthening consult a while ago. It was pretty awesome. The bottom line is this, you can't help being born a short guy, there's nothing you can really do about that. REMAINING short, however, IS a choice. With advances in limb lengthening, you can be back on your feet within a few days, walking unassisted within a couple of weeks, and recovered fully within months. Some people will tell you that you're crazy to spend that kind of money on that. You'll hear, "You can buy a fancy sports car, a house, a boat, etc, with that kind of money." But you know what...you'll still be the SHORT GUY with the fancy car, a nice house, or a boat. No matter what, the stigma follows. And yes, some articles on this site will say to focus on your health, personality, career, etc. But that will still leave you in the short category regardless. It is much easier to have a procedure done and escape the stigma than it is to change the collective mind of society...because that will simply never happen. Let's hear some thoughts on this.

What height are you now and what height do you plan on becoming? I won't disagree that no matter what you'll do, you'll be short. However, what about other people who deal with discrimination and stigmas? Should people of color bleach their skin until they are white as snow?

I am considered short by any measure and have a pretty healthy dating life. I won't behave as if I don't deal with heightism, but I'd rather spend $100K on an investment property that will keep on turning over a profit over getting a procedure that may have little to no impact on my dating life. I do know a lot of men over 5'9 who can't get a date to save their life. are drowning in debt and are dealing with the consequences of bad decision making.
