What are your biggest challenges and biggest wins?
Is your experience dating different from shorter men who seem to have more negative interactions with women? In other words, does your facial attractiveness and or physique mitigate height bias?
On the other end, are any of you withdrawn from the dating market and tired of it due to negative experiences?
Finally, when you other guys see you winning, do they get jealous and try to drag you down?
I've been following leg lengthening for some time now. From watching doctors explain how it works on YouTube, testimonials and Vlogs from people who actually had the procedure done, to dedicated leg lengthening forums where people do everything from plan their lives around the procedure to to lurkers who are on the fence about getting it.
One thing is clear though, the price of the surgery has plummeted internationally from where it was ten years ago and the operations are becoming more frequent. This could mean that if international relations stabilize, the technology used to achieve safe LL will continue to enter the market and prices will continue to fall. In the beginning, it could only be achieved with external fixators. Then Precise was introduced, and now there is Precise 2.0.
There was a video that I watched of a young Indian man getting the procedure in New York and spending $200K. Now in many places, you can have this done for $75K-$100K. In some parts of Europe, you can get this done for $50K. I am not advocating that anyone who is interested in this surgery gets it on the cheap, that would be a fool's game. With that though, the next generation of people who are interested in Leg Lengthening will have it much easier. Who knows what tech will be introduced in the short term. Maybe doctors will even get to a point where they can reopen the growth plates.
All in all, it means that shorter guys who are really struggling out there, or men who are not happy with their height will have a bit more leverage if they have the money.
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.
