More Men Having Surgery to Make Themselves Taller

I see this in the Columbus running group I'm in. Very 100% accurate!

Supposedly short people earn less and are passed over for promotions/leadership more.

In football settings, I coached at Northland HS in Columbus. I was shorter than all the other players but just did my thing and the players respected me. I knew I didn't know jack, and that alone will get you credibility with players.

One guy at a Browns tailgate I knew, who tried to get me into healthcare, said I'd fail because I was short and nobody would help me with my career. This was in 2016. But I'm farther along now than he ever thought. He now lives in Tampa and is divorced, dropped out of OSU as well. GO BLUE!

Who is the Tallest Billionaire?

The 2019 Forbes list of billionaires included over 2000 billionaires from across the globe. Of that large list, not a lot is known about the physical characteristics of their bodies. However, if we take the top ten richest pe...

I guess the exception would be those who start their own companies like 5'7 Zuck and 5'7 Bezos. But in general this rule is probably true for every other business.

That's interesting, but it's such a small increase and how big is the sample size? I read through the entire article and understood some of the deviations but I didn't see (the amount of subjects tested was = x).

Not to fat shame, but I have some overweight female friends who are all like I want a tall dude but then all get upset when someone turns them down for their weight or not being blonde or whatever. Call me a bad friend, but it's just ridiculous.

Personally, I'm 5'7" female and I would happily be with someone around my height. I dated someone shorter, but he gave me an STD so ... He had a ton of confidence, that's how he got around.

Some men fetishize the women in the relationship being bigger and taller. Just as some guys want BBW's or amazons. To some 5'5 guys, a 6'0 woman would be their fantasy girl.

I disagree at least from my perspective and the company I work for. 75% of our upper level executives are 6'-6'6"...which most would consider quite tall. I've seen and of them all climb the ladder from their younger years as many of them were moved up (asked to take positions before they had appropriate qualifications) into higher level positions. Yes I believe there is definitely a bias towards taller people as being more powerful. I have also seen this with people that appear older (balding, larger/out of shape, beards). Ex.) I have a coworker who is 5 years younger than me but is heavier, balding, taller and has chosen to have a beard. I (33) take care of myself, have hair, and stay in shape and get categorized as being much younger than him. It is very noticeable how people treat him as compared to me being that we are in the same career level.

However, surgery to become taller is absurd and entirely unnatural. It is very comparable to boob jobs. I enjoy that female asset as much as the next guy. But getting surgery to make them bigger or shaped different for "looks" is a total turnoff. Hopefully it would translate for a woman if she starts dating a guy and finds out he spent that much money just to be a few inches taller. BUT I understand there are a lot of shallow humans out there.

There are a lot of youtube videos on the subject. It seems a major problem can be flexibility. If you make your femur 3 inches longer, then your hamstrings are going to be a little stiff. So you need to be young so that you have a chance to increase your flexibility to adapt to the longer bone. I guess I won't do it. I'll just walk on my tip toes.

on a more primal level the guy who appears older (balding, larger/out of shape, with beards) may be viewed as wiser with better judgment so it makes sense. That person can be seen as the counterbalance for the young strapping individuals who are promoted to the top. You have to have some wisdom up there to keep things under control.

They are, and with good reason.

And you constantly whining and complaining isn't a disease?

I thought this was another thread about gender reassignment surgeries. Someone who is short as a man can be quite tall as a woman.

My wife's cousin is the department head for Pediatric Endocrinology at a very well known university medical school and hospital. He has difficulty with parents who want all kinds of surgery for their "short" offspring - and there are crazy procedures available. His point to these parents is that the kids are no happier after the procedures, and sees little benefit to their quest for surgical procedures. 5"7? Really? Doesn't make sense to me.

Being small is not worth the stigmas associated with it. Think this guy is having any problems just because he's small? Women look like amazon goddesses from his perspective.
