But he highlighted that people with close family/ friends or had kids had a full recovery or in the case of dislocated spinal disc some reported that they felt better a few weeks before surgery.

As a 5'8 dude that has been genuinely dreaming about the surgery, thanks for this video! My biggest problem with it is the fact that I would somewhere within myself feel like I caved in to some really effed up expectations and attitudes in our society. And how could I tell my kids someday to be okay with themselves as they are when I cut my own legs to meet a height expectation. And other big problem is that with all these surgeries that are becoming more normalised as you said, that is where the standard and expectation is shifting. There will always be an average height, we will only be raising it artificially and collectively f***ing ourselves over by doing so. We are not changing our genetics, only our appearances. So our kids will have to deal with the stupid society and expectations we built, to be more "superhuman" than our genetics. The way a new generation always rebels agains the values of the previous one, I am willing to make a prediction right now. Once we in the coming decades reach a point where all this is waaayy too much, normalised and expected, and we can change waaayy more things about ourselves, then we will eventually have a generational pushback to all this finally. That will be the rebellion of a new generation who don't want to carry on with this nonsense. Be natural will mean something again. Maybe we will have it sooner and in a milder way if we come to our senses about all this stuff before things go way out of hand.

Sure being a little taller would be nice in the dating pool, but besides that there are some benefits to being on the shorter side. Such as having plenty of leg room everywhere and a generally longer lifespan than our taller counterparts. I wouldn’t mind being a couple inches taller, that would be great. My dad is 5’10” and that would be my ideal height. But not the way that this guy did it. His body is now disproportional and he will almost certainly have issues later in life due to this cosmetic surgery.

5'7'' is just about the most lukewarm height you can be to not stand out at all ever if you don't mean to; it's kinda cozy

[@AbbysArachnids]

For the record, there are both women who like short guys, and women who don't care. Personally I never cared about height, it was always about personality. My boyfriend just happens to be 6'3, and I enjoy the benefits of that, but if he was a full on midget, I would enjoy the benefits of that as well. It's all about personality and having one that matches your body. If a short guy is confident about it then that's all that matters.

[@traetrae11]

He still has the short guy projection thing going on. The mentality obviously didn't change. Assuming his dad is avoiding him because he's taller now instead of understanding his dad is very disappointed in him is wild to me.

[@jacquigonzalez5447]

Thank you for mentioning grooming! I use plastic surgery to fix things that got broken. After nursing my 3 kids, I got a boob job and they’re better than ever. My concern is that in certain communities, like Utah County, post oart boob jobs are 21:36 expected, and having flat saggy torture is the same as having jacked up crooked brown teeth. It makes me sad that someday my Neisse might go under the knife because I set that expectation, although I think they fit my body and the only people who know they’re fake are the ones who have seen the scars. I’m glad you are addressing this because as a society, things are going TOO far, and as a society, we 100% reward superficiality and selfishness and people are risking their health to advance… or just to feel like they fit in ❤

[@Drawnbyali]

I had this surgery when i was 12 years old. I was born with a leg shorter than the other. That phase of my life was the worst! Im 24 now and my foot is still a bit weak, even tho i train it. Crazy to see people doing it willingly, and on both legs at the same time!

I was always attracted to guys 5’5 - 5’9 never made fun of their height. My ex would talk about getting this surgery, then get offended when I would say I’d leave him, but the way I saw it, you are basically going to age yourself, I’ll have to support you in your recovery, then if we end up together as elders I’m going to have to take care of you when you’re broken bones start to rear their ugly beads. Or…. You’re going to get the surgery, I support you, then leave me, because if I find you attractive as you are, then what are you trying to attract. I think I’m over dating short guys not because I’m not into them, but the insecurities and short man syndrome, you can love or compliment them out of it.

[@davidbecquer3624]

Setting the whole confidence debate aside. Going through an experimental procedure like that is insane. The physical risks alone are not worth it. Risk during the surgery, risk of infection after, the sheer ammount of pain and rehab you're gonna have to endure, as well as the medication you have to tak for years after. All of that to have a 2 weakened legs that have been broken on purpose (we have NO IDEA about the long term risk of that btw, which will probaly include early onset osteoporosis). Also, the center of gravity has been moved up so his balance and proprioception are probably all messed up, as well as the muscle insertions that have to endure extra pressure from the unnatural muscle length. The sheer ammount of things that can go wrong in the long term is mind breaking.

As a tall woman that married to a man shorter than me I have never noticed it or I should say that it's never been a issue I would never ever say anything about his height because it should not be a issue if you are not so shallow. Here are issues with being tall they don't consider tall people when they make back seats. You don't have to worry about leg room when you fly.

Another weird thing, his legs are longer but everything else is still proportionally the same to your prior height. Imagine being 6’2’’ and your torso and arms are the length of a 5’5’’ dude. Stop it😅

Anyways he broke up with me because he thought i should change my habits to suit my body type now that i was "desirable".
