re: Saddest, most beta story: Guy pays $75,000 for major surgery to go from 5-7" to 5-10"

75k for 3" seems cheap as hell

Someone needs to tell this guy the height of Napoleon and then tell him to go conquer the world. Then he can get women.

“Don’t be so sure of yourself, short man!” Over the years, the insults began to take their toll. “I was waking up two hours before my alarm every day just to walk around the neighborhood and cry,” he said.

No need to make fun of a guy for his height when he’s this much of a crybaby’s bitch. Make fun of him for THAT.

Should have spent that $75k on a set of gonads.

For Scott, demeaning comments about height are everywhere — whether in his personal life or in pop culture. He singled out TikTok particularly, where jokes about men’s height are rampant. “I don’t know how many times I have to hit the dislike button for your algorithm to learn I don’t want to see jokes about height,” he said. He flags the TikToks as harassment and bullying, only to receive a note back that says the app reviewed the content and didn’t find anything wrong with it.

For frick's Sake man, get off TikTok.

I'm a fellow short guy here at 5'7" but if someone is going to disregard me due to my height I can just easily disregard them due to some other superficial factor.

I know bias with height exists, but it quickly goes away if you aren't insufferable. If it doesn't, assess the situation. Either you're being a prick and it's clear that making fun of your height is a way to get under your skin, or the other person is lashing out due to their own insecurities. Whichever it is, there are options other than this.

Nobody mentions my height. If they do in private, that's cool. I don't care one way or another. I have a wife who loves me, a really nice dog, and I do shite I want to do (generally). What someone else thinks about how tall I am doesn't even register.

People who are insecure about their height need some perspective. If someone fricks with you about your stature they are just weeding themselves out.

I'm 5'7 but have never had any issues with anyone making snide remarks towards me about height. Someone should have told this dude that carrying yourself well, dressing nice, having interests, and having a clean and neat appearance would've gotten him a lot further than dropping $75k to have his spine lengthened.

99% agree, but I will say, I’m old enough to have avoided the online dating situation as a short guy.
