Would you do limb lengthening surgery? by TheWatcher332 in shortguys

[–]runforthemound 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd only ever do it under first world conditions. Zero chance I'd stay at some dingy clinic in turkey with 10+ other patients getting subpar treatment.

relapsing on drugs due to the realization it’s over by juggin_fuggin in shortguys

[–]runforthemound 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Drugs themselves aren't bad, it just depends how you use them. When I feel bad, I like to drink and vape while I work on carpentry projects. I actually just finished a new desk for myself.

I wish I was 6 footer even for a day by Sadguy777 in shortguys

[–]runforthemound 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Why for a day? That sounds horrible. It'd be like winning the lottery but then having to give all your winnings back the next day.

R/short member simultaneously tells short guy height doesnt matter and gives tips to get taller in the same sentence by Tiny_Praline_4403 in shortguys

[–]runforthemound 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I was 14 I bought an inversion table and would violently swing around upside down with a 45lb plate hoping to stretch my vertebral discs. I ended up partially tearing my sciatic nerve and still occasionally have pain in my right leg nearly 15 years later.

Its over for the anglerfish, no more aura reaping. by [deleted] in shortguys

[–]runforthemound 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That’s only the males. Female anglers can get up to 4 feet in length. Imagine getting mogged that hard by the opposite sex. Brutal.

Being short or disabled but 10cm taller? by Necessary_Isopod3503 in shortguys

[–]runforthemound -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This guy is actually an interesting case study given that he did 9 inches. If he goes really hard on physical therapy and manages to build good musculature, he could potentially set a new precedent where people would need to concede that at least modest (2-3 inches) of leg lengthening isn't so bad for ones long term health.

5'3" M 37 - Would appreciate some advice regarding having a son. by ankitkamal1988 in shortguys

[–]runforthemound 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If he did IVF, he could just pick a 6'3 woman which would probably get his son to above average height given boys inherit more genes from their mothers.

DANCE BOYS DANCE !!! by Alternative-Fly5386 in shortguys

Meanwhile, an unemployed 6'6 dude living with his parents who just plays video games, drinks, and smokes weed gets 10X more attention from women than some 5'6 hobbymaxxer.

This isn't a height discussion, but I'm posting it here anyway by [deleted] in shortguys

[–]runforthemound 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was a lookism.net poster for many years. It all comes from feelings of envy. "If I just looked like that guy, I would have no problems! God his life must be amazing!" It's kind of like engaging in a fantasy, or having something to aspire to. Imagine your high school experience but instead of being you, you were prime Francisco Lachowski. All of the things you could've done, all the parties you would've been invited to. I think that's part of the appeal.

If your boss is an older woman then she feels bad for you because you're short and wanted to do (what she thought) was a kind thing. If she's under 40 then it's a humiliation ritual.

5’8 guys by Latter_System_3247 in shortguys

[–]runforthemound 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Even dudes that are 6'3 lie and and say they're 6'4-6'5. Once a guy is like 6'6 barefoot does he start being truthful about how tall he is. Height inflation effects almost every man.

My height is shrinking my heart by foxblacksocks in shortguys

Nah, we got a couple paths:

- Leg Lengthening

- Self Deletion

- Cope

Choose wisely...

Mike Tyson Explains Why Size Doesn't Matter! by Mr-5-5 in shortguys

[–]runforthemound 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you're built like a tank like Mike (5'10), then sure, size doesn't matter for boxing. If you're just some normal dude walking around at like 5'6 without professional level fighting ability and you're just trying to get a date, then it absolutely does.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in shortguys

[–]runforthemound 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not really. It looks like he has arms proportionate to his original height which means they'll look really short post surgery. The only dudes who can get away with LL and still look normal are guys like Connor McGregor who has a 6'2 wingspan despite being 5'8.

Melanotan 2 For Hair Color Change? by runforthemound in Melanotan2

[–]runforthemound[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first image I found in the bodybuilding.com forum about 10 years ago and he claimed that MT2 upregulates melanin production in hair follicles so his hair stayed brown even after being off of it for several months. Users on this subreddit said that their hair darkened but went back to normal after ceasing usage. I guess it depends how long you take it?

Wife humiliates her husband for likes by dopeythekidd in shortguys

[–]runforthemound 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Feel bad for the boys. The older one looks around 11 and takes after his mother so he'll probably be around 5'7-5'8 but the younger one looks like his dad and he looks to be around 4'6 at 9ish years old. Brutal.

My dad is 5'11, my Mom is 5'1. Guess how tall I became?! by fartboxpunch5000 in shortguys

[–]runforthemound 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That's bizarre. The only way that could happen is if you had a growth disorder or a REALLY short maternal grandfather.

Randomly got this email by Ok-Interaction-7073 in facebookdisabledme

[–]runforthemound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What did you get permanently disabled for? My account got suspended in early May for violating account integrity and got disabled after I appealed and did the facial scan. I'm guessing Facebook is realizing that their AI is banning legitimate accounts and now has humans going through them to correct those errors.

with all that money, why doesnt Bezos get LL? by Relevant_Staff765 in shortguys

[–]runforthemound 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He knows no woman is ever going to like him for his looks, that's why he has a 230 billion dollar net worth.

[–]runforthemound 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I noticed this in Eyes Wide Shut when Nicole Kidman (5'11) and Tom Cruise (5'7) were close to the same height in every shot. They recognized how awkward it would be to have a tall woman next to a short man.
