As we all know, there's really not much people can do about their height. Body weight can be altered at least some, hair can be dyed, people with enough money can even have plastic surgery or liposuction. But concerning height, there isn't much that can be done. There is no safe surgery known that can increase or decrease height. It's just one of those things in life that we have to do the best to accept.

<p>Never heard of limb lengthening huh? You can gain a solid 2 inches.</p>
<p>Cosmetic</a> height increase (limb lengthening)</p>

To make it even more simpler:</p>
<p>taller guys = larger sexual organs</p>
<p>I cite the theory of anatomical proportionality.

<p>Complete BS. I'm gonna assume your post is a joke because no one can be that retarded.</p>

<p>I'm quite shocked.</p>
<p>limb lengthening by breaking the legs is illegal in most of the world - ok I know nothing about it, but I saw this episode of grey's anatomy where a short guy constantly complained about being short and went to China to get this done, and he had major problems and was in serious pain and ended up having emergency surgery, which resulted in them being slightly shorter than before lol...um grey's is a dumb show so it's probably inaccurate, but I doubt results are 100% guaranteed and it's extremely painful and probably expensive, and dangerous. it's ridiculous for anyone to undergo such a painful, dangerous, expensive process where results aren't guaranteed to gain a mere 2 inches. just get heeled shoes, gosh.</p>
<p>heeled shoes are the way to go</p>

<p>Was this episode on tonight?</p>
<p>I will only date women under 5 feet tall with exactly a C bra size and natural blonde hair.</p>
<p>There, did I make anyone feel bad about themselves now?</p>
<p>F*** this thread.</p>
<p>^ damn, spidey-man, i don't think MJ fits your standards.. last time I checked I checked she was a redhead...</p>
<p>I was browsing match.com yesterday and I found it quite bizarre that of all the profiles I looked at, even the profiles of girls under 5'2", none would date a man shorter than 5'9". There were even some 5'0" girls had minimum height requirements of 6'2"!</p>
<p>Pretty depressing for a short guy like me...</p>
<p>^ how tall are you? and i would say match.com profiles aren't exactly representative of the general population... you never know how many of those 'girls' are "GIRLs" (Guys In Real Life)</p>

That's totally not representative of the actual female population...i've never met a girl with a minimum requirement, we just want a guy taller than we are...many of of my shorter friends say they don't like tall guys because it makes everything awkward...and why were you on match.com anyway? I mean, you're in college, you're surrounded by women 18-22....you don't have to resort to match.com!</p>
<p>I said it before and I'll say it again: stop attributing his lack of success to some defect of character. He's 5'2. I'm 5'8. A lot of my friends in the 5'7-5'9 area have a lot of difficulty finding someone. In any case, I have few options when it comes to dating, although at least some women are ok with 5'8. It's not in his head, he really was dealt a very difficult hand. There was a good documentary about men and height called "Short and Male." These guys were handsome corporate lawyers and entertainers and they still couldn't find someone because of their short height.</p>

Sorry, but they must either be jerks, ugly, fat, or all three - very few women would turn down a guy because he's slightly below average. I agree a 5'2 guy would have way more difficulty since most women are taller than him, but if you're at least 5'7, you have nothing to complain about, you're taller than most women. I bet the guys in that documentary were very short, but if you're only 2-3 inches under average and you're perpetually single, sorry but it's probably because you're unattractive or have a terrible personality. who cares if you're not the ideal? do A cup and B cup women remain single forever, and only the big-boobed women score guys? obviously not. slightly short guys should have no problem assuming they're not ugly. some of the guys on this thread are acting like being an inch below average is a death sentence - get over yourselves. </p>
<p>in America, like 2/3 of the men are overweight anyway, so when we find a guy who's not fat or ugly and isn't a jerk, that's always nice.</p>

<p>Height has NOTHING to do with it. You and the OP are just ugly and overweight. I suggest you hit the gym, go tan, and quit blaming your height for your inability to get girls.</p>
<p>Wow, molly and I are on the same page.</p>
<p>I wasn't trying to sell you on some "woe is me" story. I had an attractive GF last semester and have dated other attractive girls in the past. But it does make first impressions harder. "Picking up" is very, very hard. When I hit on girls, other guys will mock my height in trying to compete. Obviously, I see it as part of the game and I don't cry over it.</p>
<p>And I have a body off the cover of Men's Health (or I did when I was 19-20). My face, well, I'm average at best so you have some point there. </p>
<p>My point was more in reference to really short guys. I agree, 5'8 is not so short as to keep you out of the game completely.</p>

<p>I'm between 5'8 and 5'9 and I've always had trouble with women. I'm neither a jerk, nor ugly, nor fat. I've actually had women tell me it's because I'm not six feet tall+</p>
<p>I like to think I'm not being hypocritical by saying this, but it's pretty pathetic to reject a guy for being 5'8/5'9 rather than six foot, when you're like 5'2 or something.</p>
<p>It's life, but it's lame.</p>
<p>^yeah, it's not a coincidence that most of the guys who hang out and play cards back at the dorm are short guys. My short friends aren't doomed, but they get way fewer opportunities. </p>
<p>And I have 6'4 friends who are ugly and have no difficulty. </p>
<p>I'm not blaming women, either. But let's be real.</p>
<p>I never said I dont go to parties. I'm definitely a social guy. I'm not the 'life of the party', but I'm not dull.</p>
<p>I'm 5'8" (female) and have to say I don't care about height, provided he isn't a "little person" (in all honesty, I'm a little scared of them. They always manage to pop up out of nowhere.) otherwise, if he's a cool person then it doesn't matter.</p>
