If you "don't" have problems with women then why the fuk are you doing it

Face it, you have problems with women and this is why you're doing it.

Anything else is cope.

OP im 5'6" and INDIAN

I understand the struggles you deal with in social situations and work, but I promise you.. you can still get laid and change your mentality. It is not worth the pain and not being able to play sports or do other activities ever again. I too thought about this in my early 20's, but then started getting laid and eventually "grew" out of the height dysmorphia phase. PM me if you want to talk bro.

5 inches? Really? Sounds risky, but you do you, OP.

Srs
If you believe that notion with dating, aren't you perpetuating the notion that anyone under 6 foot should consider limb lengthening? It's hypocritical. I'm aware you're joking, but for a young kid who doesn't know any better about his own self image is probably going to read something similar to this and develop and a profound insecurity in him sticks with him like a tick and the whole cycle repeats itself or worse. Watch out your comments bro

Most likely will stop after this in terms of invasive surgeries but considering I'm still aging I'd probably do some work done in the future to keep my skin youthful at most.

My family is against it due to the cost and the possible complications but they understand why I'm doing it and ultimately support my decision if it's something that I want. The last dramatic thing I've done similar to this is move to a foreign country (I made a thread with pics about my journey) with a one way ticket. They understand my behavior so for them it's routine they hear plans like this. 3 months post-op I'll be under a nurse's care in Turkey that includes physical therapy.

I would be lying if I didn't say my height probably affected my dating life in some form or another but if it did, I had no issues with it. For the most part I'm happy with the type of relationships I've had. I think everyone has an issue either externally or internally that creates a dating barrier for them. Luckily and fortunately I'm not doing it for anyone else including possible future dates but if the operation creates more options for me - then that's just another positive side effect I'm willing to look forward to. Much respect to you

Doing it for myself is an illusion. it's like when sloots dress like sloots that say they don't do it for attention but do it for themselves, it's a total lie and they don't even know it themselves. Or when miscers take cell tech and are obsessed with their physique " doing it for myself bro". Obviously these actions have certain outcomes, desirable outcomes or outcomes that bring some sort of value whether you are consciously aware of it or not.

It's his life tho and honestly I'm very interested to see the aftermath so bring it on op. Whatever happens, I hope you're prepared to live with the consequences. Good luck and subbed.

cam in to essentially add this ^

sorry, but this kind of surgery is beyond extreme if the picture you tried to paint in your original post was in any way true.
Sure you might be trying some sort of 'fake it till you make it' thing

but clearly there has to be more going on mentally, than what you're portraying.

AMA and OP refuses to answer most questions

Ok OP answer this:

How do you feel about the most likely outcome of this:

you in a wheelchair for the rest of your life?


are you trying to dominate the crippled crew?

Most of the questions that you think I'm ignoring I either already answered in previous pages or it's just a duplicate on how this is a bad idea without the proper research.

To answer your question, 1) that's not a risk unless you're referring to the recovery period. Even if it was, I'd accept the risk.

2) no

OP I understand where you are coming from since I am 5'7ish but 5 inches seems a little too excessive considering the permanent damage. Why not just go with 2 - 3 inches? There is a reason why docs that do this don't recommend any more than that. Is being 5'9 (average height) not enough? Could always wear shoe lifts on special occasions afterwards for a bit extra.

Stay consistent misc. keep telling manlets to go rope themselves and then be shocked when some are willing to break their legs to gain a few inches.

It’s an investment from Op and maybe it’ll pay off, who knows.

Also lol, should show this thread to fat people who’s crying about body image. Got people literally wanting to break their legs and pay $35k for the privilege and they can put the pie down.

If I'm paying this amount I want to be able to feel a dramatic difference. 2-3 inches won't cut it imo (pun intended). If I wanted to do 2-3 inches I'd probably just resort to shoe lifts srs

I probably wouldn't do it.

But with that said, I'm like 5'4 so I became aware of the disadvantage I had beginning in my early 20's. I decided if I was going to have any success with women I was going to have to aspire to be perfect in everything else. Looks, money, personality were the main things. I got a decent physique, make 120K yr and luckily women thing my face is attractive outside of that I hopped on precautionary fin.

I'm now 34 and get alot of attention from young girls, currently actually dating a girl thats 23. She's 4'9 so it works well.

I could easily afford to get that surgery and it would be nice to be a few inches taller but its just seems so risky. I would all day rather be short and be fully functional then to be taller and add potentially ruin my life, no matter if the chance is only like 5%

Doing it for only 2-3 inches would be pointless. Imagine going through all that recovery and the $ amount for only 2-3 inches. It's not worth it for that little.

Terrible idea. I've heard this is a long, painful recovery, and no guarantee you'll regain full athletic ability. I'd personally never do this, and I'm 5'7".

Going from 5'6 to 5'9 is actually a big difference.
