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

What would the timeline be before you're back in the dating pool? A couple of years? I'd say it's false economy at this stage, even if it wasn't a horrendous and unnecessary procedure.

probably a year and after it another year of walking funny. and to add that my squat will probably go down by a lot. which will suck. but still i feel like im not kind of short... im short short.

Embracing who you are and learning to aggressively be yourself will get you laid a lot more than a few extra inches of height. It's why when my hairline started receding I just shaved it all off. I didn't want it to look like I was ashamed of my body.

yeah i agree tbh the times when i got laid the most was when i was just not giving a f (but i did was in the best shape of my life tho..)
