im 157cm (5′2)
26yo male
i have been in a realationship for 3years
and i did had success somewhat with girls. tho sometime I feel like i need to work very hard, harder than my tall friends.
if im not on my top shape and lean i feel like im not enough, and given less chances with girls.
im pretty muscular, and have an ok face, i also pretty nice to talk to and tbh i never had a first date which the girl didnt want to go to a second date with me. but the height a lot of times made some girls not even consider me, and tbh 157 cm is like shorter than 99% of guys.
im thinking about doing it to get to 5′6 tho i also dont wanna be the guy who is known for doing limb lengthning surgery cause its like an insecure thing.
im pretty lost tbh. need some outsiders perspective ty
It's your body; you can do what you want with it and there's no "should" or "shouldn't". However, getting a surgery because you feel it will make you more attractive to the women you are around in your daily life right now is probably inadvisable, in the long term.
It's supposedly a pretty hellish recovery process, involving you learning how to walk again. Also, personally, I think the photos of the guys who've had this done are very weird because they're not proportional at all.
It's natural to feel insecure about things, and I'd argue it's natural to feel extra insecure about something like height, when it does seem to be something that makes some people view you differently, and is the focus of a lot of snake oil salesmen online trying to bully their way into your wallet by playing off that insecurity.
I don't want to point out that there are a lot of guys who are short but are in relationships, but it is true. You say you've been in a relationship previously and have dated other women -- obviously those people weren't too worried about your height.
I would recommend against it, personally.
yeah i just feel like im not just short. 157cm is even shorter than most females. i guess im just in dark times in my life and when those time will pass the need to this will pass too.
