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

      yeah i guess you are right. its just that i feel my height is not normal… like im not 5’5-5’7 which considered short,but normal. i feel like my height is extreme short and its like a legitimate reason for not wanting to date me and not because someone is shallow.

        Would recommend to anyone in any situation to at least try working with a therapist about body issues before elective surgery. For that matter, having a therapist help them with the psychological consequences of choosing surgery.
