Settle peddle.

Calm down. It's not the end of the world.. Being tall isn't all it's cracked upto be.. It's harder to build muscle so getting ripped is more work.. And your hardly short.. Most girls are shorter then you are..

[Madmax_01]

The same thing cracked me up as well. All of my cousins are taller than me, about 10-15 cm, and all of them have fathers with a shorter stature than my father, which really made me devasted. But hey, I'm just 1,62, and I would figuratively kill for a 1,73m.

Its silly to let taller family get to you. After LL, even when someone looms over me I have had total peace of mind, including one cousin who has an inch on me, and an uncle who has about 2.

Now if you are 5 ft tall and your family is 6 ft then sure, but otherwise its a little ridiculous.

[DoingItForMe]

There's almost nothing that your taller cousins can do that you can't do at your height. So why be envious of their height? Picture how cramped they will be in airplane seats. If there's one thing I'd be envious of, it'd be wealth. Now, that's a trait that means the difference between things you can or cannot do. Height on the other hand never stopped me from reaching my goals.

What was your motivation then to do LL?

What was your motivation then to do LL?

I have achieved everything in life already. Multi-millionaire. Beautiful and amazing girlfriend of several years. Big mansions, nice cars, yachts, and jets. Very well respected by my peers. I had it all. I ran out of things to improve about myself. My height was the only thing that was below average. I'd say the benefit of LL was not worth the time and price I paid for it. But I've reached that point where there wasn't really much else for me to do to improve myself.

If any of you guys played MMORPGs, then my life was like I already beat the game already. And now I'm spending months of my life grinding for the last final weapon/armor that improves my character only very slightly. Was it worth it compared to everything else that I achieved and sacrificed? No. There were many other easier to achieve things in my life that causes significant improvements to my overall happiness. Wealth was one of them, probably the biggest one. Getting fit from working out was another. Improving my personality so I'd be more friendly and considerate to others was another.

When it comes to height, I'd say that it's the problem of "the grass is greener on the other side". You THINK that life would be much greater if you were taller. But in reality, it isn't all THAT great. Just slightly better. Now, if it was the matter of whether a tall or superficial girl would date you or not, then it matters significantly. But tall or superficial girl isn't THAT much better than a short girl who doesn't care about your height. From my experience, the ones who aren't superficial tend to be better people for dating.

Wow DIFM. The most inspirational thing I have read on this forum to date... Thankyou.

I had this same revelation the first time I finished playing my first PC RPG, and made me realize that life is just like that.  You can have a lot of money and no matter how fast you spend it, it just keeps multiplying faster, and eventually you don't find the game as exciting.  I decided to focus less on making money and more on actually being happy.   My favorite role model for success is Richard Branson, who is successful, but also has the time to "play a lot".   

This surgery is not going to solve every short guy's problems here, but it should allow most of us to play at a higher level hopefully.   Quite frankly, I am tired of playing at my current level in life because of the limitations I'm faced with from time to time due to height discrimination, and want to know what is "behind the curtain".

DoingItForMe has great wisdom and an interesting perspective to look at LL compared most of us
