It has always amazed me how so many people think that short guys are always mad because they are short.

I am 5'7". Pretty short for this day-and-age. I really couldn't care less if I was any taller or not. It really doesn't bother me being this short at all.

I have dated women as tall as 5'10". Really, the only problem there is that when they want to where heels, the height difference is really exhaggerated. But, hey, if you have the confidence to pull it off, then more power to you!

There are far worse things than being short.

You are absolutely right, Robert. And while we are all guilty of wanting to better our appearance, there are far far more things people should be researching other than a cure for baldness. I mean, don't get me wrong...I would jump for joy if someone would find a cure, but what about cancer? What about blindness? What about being deaf?
You are right, Robert and I think we should all take a good look at our health and realize appearance isn't always everything.

There is one exception to the shortness topic,however. Verne Troyer. Have you guys watched any of the new Surreal Life with Mini Me on there? I feel so bad for the guy. It makes you appreciate being "normal".

Though I think Vern and others alike might say their normal, I think normalsy not only relates to a consensous of popular agreement, but how one feel's he/she fits into a society of agreed people.

I do feel however, if Robert, 5'7", stood on Vern's shoulder's, there would be an energy conservation, by turning the light switch off!!

I actually saw on the Discovery Channel that in Japan they actually have a surgery for shortness. They do something with cutting the bones in the leg and then fusing them back together. You have to walk around with a big screws and hardware sticking out of your legs for about 6 weeks. It looked pretty brutal.

Yeah, I have seen that too, guitarplayer. One would have to reeeeeeaaally want to gain some height to endure that kind of suffering.

Certainly not my cup of tea.

That would suck badly.

Offhand, I'm tempted to say, "Man, you'd have to be pretty damn insecure about your height to want to go through that just to add another inch or two!" . . . but then again, think about US HERE. This whole forum is full of guys willing to pay tens of thousands of dollars to have strips of their scalps cut off & stuck into the front, all just to regain a few centimeters of thin hair coverage.

I guess it all depends on what you have to begin with and what your life situation is.

Hi

You know I think there is no end to improving. Hair, height, nose job, where does it end??

If we continue everyone will be like Michael Jackson
