It's ridiculous that people feel they have to go through this in order to fit into society. I'm pretty short, still taller than this guy post-op, so I know the petty prejudices he goes through. I wouldn't have this op though.

Yep.
A lot of people act like height is the end matter with what counts in life or attracting people.
But that's obviously not true because there is much more to each person than how high your head is.
For example height is not so important in attracting people if you have no social skils etc
It's all about confidence guys.
Has anyone seen the very short guy in the TV Show "Game Of Thrones"
Now in my opinion because of his confidence that guy is an attractive and very likeable man, and I'm not gay.edit on 24-2-2012 by _Phoenix_ because: (no reason given)
