Ladies: Why is Height Such a Big Deal?

[uamaverick]

Also, I feel bad for this guy:

Some cases are more extreme than others. Before Akash Shukla had his surgery, he was four feet eleven and a half—not technically a dwarf but short enough to be mistaken for one. “People used to make a lot of jokes,” Shukla says. “I could never ask anyone out.” A 21-year-old engineering student from New Jersey, he took a year off from college to have CLL with Dr. Rozbruch. Six months and $200,000 later (that total includes expenses like equipment and physical therapy), he emerged standing five feet two. Though he says the surgery was “more painful than giving birth to seven children,” Shukla believes that the two and a half inches it gave him changed his life. “I have a new social confidence,” he says. He’s been approached by a number of men with questions about CLL—including a guy who was five feet eight. “I was like, ‘Oh my god, you’re actually considering cutting your bones in half to be five foot ten?’” Shukla says. “I’d give anything to be five foot eight.”

Yeah, you've never cared about it because you're well above average height. Try going through every day being ridiculed for something out of your control and see if you change your mind about that.

lol, I love this. Yea and rich people dont ever get why poor people wished they had more money. If youre tall you dont know what its like being short and the shittiness that comes with it, if youre a bor. I guarantee if you woke up tomorrow at 5'7" and stayed that way for a year, you would be much more thankful the day you turned 6'2" again.

the only thing that matters is your heart not how tall you are.

bullshit.

Here's the real deal:

When you're inactive you feel less confident and you slouch and slump your shoulders. When you're working out and getting/staying in shape, you feel good, proud, you walk tall, stand up straight, etc.

That's the only cause for this. WTF you think you lose and gain a vertebrae or something? If you're getting shorter you might want to look into some Boniva there, Sally Field!
