Re: Why Tom Cruise doesn't get height surgery if he can grow 5 inches?

What would I say about the amputation? Those who do the surgery and want the height very badly will be taking risks.

What about athletic ability? It seems those who do the surgery never go back to 100% maybe 80-85%.

Why do some people at 5'5"-5'8" still do it? Because there are some successful lengthenings at the price of cost, $80,000 or $50k EUR

whereas if you do it for $25k somewhere cheap I would rather not do it. Some people are okay going back to only their 85% of their athletic ability and walk out 4 inches taller supposedly.

Have you gotten this surgery?

Re: Height vs. color

I agree with this completely. Heightism and racism have very similar overtones. Heightism is a socially accepted prejudice which is why everyone can openly condemn short men.

Re: It's always been rough being a short guy Thread Starter

If you think heightism is a recent phenomena, so some current "social justice movement", or just became a "thing" recently, then you're sadly mistaken. As we try to bring attention to it now and people are more vocal than ever about it, it's as old as time and something that every generation of short fellas have to deal with.

Take a look at some of these little ditties from the past:
