I'd say romance communities - Hispanic, French, Italian. For some reason Masculinity isn't tied to physical attributes (though it helps), but more to your word, your conviction and connections. Italy has a history of short presidents and in many Hispanic communities, it's common to see 5'4+ guys w/girlfriends and wives, some even being players.

Okay so let's say I have already decided that this is something that I would like to do... given that I will be getting the surgery, how should I approach the situation of talking to the person who may be able to help me pay for it?

I think you need to be really careful and ask yourself, "If the person says no to financing, will he be confidential with my disclosure"? Really think hard about those who you approach.

I'm not sure how I would approach. I'd probably just be straightforward, honest and cite real life examples, anecdotes and statistics to drive the point home. Let them know you've done your research on how you'd prep for it, deal with it and how you would recover afterwards. Like any business venture, you have to show that you know your stuff, possible compromises and all outcomes.

I would strongly urge against LL, especially since you claim to not be insecure and have identified that society (not you) has the problem. If you're not insecure and you're comfortable with yourself, why put up with the breaking your legs and the possibility of being crippled?

Please just learn as much as you can and prepare yourself for any complications if you do decide to go through with this.

Coming up on the big 4 0 pretty quick. 5'7.5 tall. 175 lbs. lean muscle. People guess 185-190 though. Happy to still have good hair. lol

Former highrise construction worker in Chicago, Ex-Army Sergeant, highly decorated multiple tour Iraq Campaign veteran, and in general bad Mutha... I see big guys at the gym who can't bench their own bodyweight and I'm thinking, I weigh 80 lbs less than you and I can bench YOUR bodyweight.

I can walk into a room filled with people and know that very few if any men there have done the kinds of stereotypically "manly" things I've done. Yet, I still have these nagging insecurities about my height.

I suppose forums like this can be good or bad, depending on what you make of them. Mostly just gonna put my 2 cents in.

Now THAT'S confidence! Welcome to the forum! Quick question. What was your experience in the army like (i.e. basic training and boot camp) and how were you treated by your subordinates? How long did it take you to reach your rank?

Pay them no mind lol. You know how internet forums can go at times. People pick and choose what they want to respond to.
