Tinder Date

if you have the money sure, go for it but the difference will barely be noticable.
you re better off investing your money into something else and raising your attractivity level like that.
whats more attractive to women a guy thats average height or a guy thats slightly below average driving a porschee? guess whos getting more pussy

Difference is, Frogger will eventually get a porsche if he wanted to. He has a good job and works hard for his money. He saved enough for LL at age 24 already. It's not like he can't get a porsche if he does LL, or vice versa. He's not broke and it's not like he won his money from a lottery with no employable skills. He can get both to be honest, do LL and drive a nice car.

I’m skeptical that your height was the issue. You already listed your height on tinder before you met, so if she had a problem with your height, she would not have even contacted you to meet. For most women, at least 2 inches taller is sufficient.

@Mule: Man, you make some fantastic points. Truth be told, I don't know 100% whether it was my height or not but I'm just assuming so given that I was under the impression that everything else was going well. I definitely don't think that getting the procedure done will make me immune to rejections but it would be so nice to not have to always resort to attributing them to height (either partially or completely)-- and I'm not just talking about romantic rejections here. Sure it would be nice to be tall, but I just want to be average in order to at least negate the possibility of height being a probable variable. I'd say that I'm fairly confident and have things going for me well in life but I just hate that tiny internal hesitation / fear of meeting someone new (romantically or platonically) and being worried that they will judge me for my height. I know that the probable cause is likely mindset but I know that this dysphoria is certainly solvable by physically removing it, so why not just eliminate the root cause, you know?

It's amazing to see fellow individuals like yourself who used to be in similar positions that I was in. I'm so happy to hear that you were able to get rid of the height factor!

If you don't mind, could you expand on how it has affected your like in other aspects from dating? Also, since you're 2 years post op, are your scars still visible, or do you think they'd be able to be completely invisible if laser scar removal was done?

@ghkid2019: You described my rationale perfectly

@MeanGoal: I didn't post my height on the App. I do look taller in pictures, however.

I'm a similar height 5'7.5" looking to do the surgery as well to get 3 inches.  People have different viewpoints.  Point is to do what you wanna do because its your body and your life.  I'm sure 99% it will make you happier.  You'll be taller.  Girls like taller guys better.  Facts of life.  In addition, YOU will be more comfortable in your skin and you WILL be more confident for that reason.

Granted yes height isn't everything there's short guys that get laid.  But it is more of an uphill battle with lack of height.  Dating should be fun not feel like work.  If you got things wrong with you like lack of height, not saying lack of height is wrong but in the perception of girls in high demand, it tends to be the case, you will feel like dating is work, at least I do.  Which is the reason I wanna do it so I can be closer to a comolete package and just feel like I can be myself and not feel pressure on a date as if I'm on a job interview not wanting to blow it with a chick I'm attracted to.

Sounds like a good mindset to me.

In other aspects I do feel more comfortable. Even going around the supermarket for example I feel more normal. I still get towered by other guys but it does help me to know I’m average. That was the thing for me, I knew where I was on the standard distribution and percentiles etc. But knowing I’m average does help me a lot.

In terms of scars, they’re barely viable (have been since the op really, my Dr. Was really good)

to me most people here that are at least 5'7 have serious mental issues.
LL will not help you whatsoever, the mental disease is still in your head.
psychologists confirmed this long time ago -> height dysphoria.
blaming everything on height and justifying your failure. i cant get women because im short.
i dont have a career because im short.
sorry mate, i know plenty people that get laid daily. your definition of short is shallow, it doesnt make any sense. for some people on here anything below 6ft is short, others would be happy to be 5'7.
to me you are a pathetic loser that cant cope with the imperfection of your own look and guess what?
you will be the same loser after LL unless you were over 6ft where women will notice you for your superior height. natural selection buddy, women sort out the mentally ill and unhealthy.

@10cmOnTibiaOrGTFO:
Wanting to go from sub-15th percentile to 50th percentile is delusional, huh? What, do you think that height neurosis is not allowed at some magic height threshold and that anyone displaying it has mental issues? Gtfo man, there are people here on this sub who are even 5'10+ but live in places like Northern Europe where the average is 6'0+. There's no magic number for height dysphoria to disappear; yes, it's a derivative of body dysmorphia and is all in your head, but getting rid of it from the root cause can (and often times does) expel the dysphoria once and for all. Who the hell are you to come on this forum and call people pathetic losers just because they're at your dream height and are nervous about being at that height? And for the record, my career is going fantastic and I'm willing to bet that my body count is scores higher than yours if you really want to bring that up; so yeah, I'd be happy to be the same "loser" after LL, albeit an inch or two taller. To reiterate, I'm not getting LL for women lmfao. I'm getting it solely for myself. Regards.

@Mule:
Wow, thanks so much for the scar pictures. I've always been worried that they might turn into keloids but those look fantastic and almost non-existent! I'm assuming they'll return once the rods have been removed but I'm sure they'll dissipate just as quickly as they did. I just read your post describing your procedure about 2 years ago. Glad everything turned out well, my friend. Once again, congrats.

Thanks Frogger. I wish you the best with everything, whatever decision you end up making. I’m here to answer any questions you have or even if you just want to chat
Have you told your family/friends about your desire to have this done?

@Mule: Thanks Mule. I appreciate you reaching out and I'll definitely take you up on that offer. I sent you a PM!
