There are plenty of successful short men, some of which probably are the biggest players you'd ever meet! Doesn't mean Taller fellas don't have it easier. I'd trade my 9 inch little member for two inches of extra height (5'8 1/2) any day of week!!!!!!!!
Heh, I'm 5'8...almost ... and my wife is 5'9. All is well. I don't know why so many guys are concerned about this. If a woman likes you, she likes you and not your stature.
Thank you.
I'm the product of a shorter guy and a taller gal. I don't think that my mom has ever considered giving up my dad, who has a bronze star for service in Iraq, three degrees (one of which is from Yale, another of which is from Harvard), and has fathered her three children for a six-foot tall dock worker.
In all truth, in the event that you were to get the surgery, I don't think that most women would think of this as a positive, they'd think it meant that you were somewhat insecure, which is generally a turn off. Just sayin'.
Plus, it's not like you're under five feet tall or anything, man... don't worry about it.
I'm 5'8 and have occasionally run into gals that felt I wasn't tall enough. Not a big deal whatsover.
There are a million other gals out there and everyone is entitled to their personal desires.
I've rejected gals for not being "my type" and feel no shame for doing so either.
Really, lets just put on our big-boy pants and recognize that there are lots of options out there. However, I FULLY support people that want to make their own personal decisions to have various cosmetic surgeries since it's thier choice and life.
A few inches DOES make a difference though. 5'8 is a world away from 5'6, and 5'6 a world away from say 5'2. I get frustrated w/my natural height at times, but couldn't even imagine what it would be like if I was 5'1 or 5'2. I know a few men that short and they are all _______ in the head if you know what I mean. It's no surprise that these days, that LL surgery is so popular. Just simply type "get taller" in google and watch thousands of forums come up on guys doing just about anything (and I really mean "anything") to get even a 1/2 inch taller. You 5'9 and up guys don't really know how good you have it. Height is something you can take for granted. I'm just thankful I have a solid education and an excellent career to back up my 5'6 frame.

Maybe. There are some women like that. Two inches ISN'T much taller, but it IS less taller. If it wasn't such a big deal, Elevator Shoes wouldn't be such a huge industry, Type "Elevator Shoes" on eBay and see how many results come up. The proof was in the pudding when I started wearing them. 2" elevators bring me up to your height @ JBT1980 (S'8). That added extta height opens so many doors with women when I go out. You are 5'8. Dress Shoes would bring you to 5'10 (I.e. Slightly above average). If you're having woman trouble at that height, then either you are ugly, don't have your things together, are super insecure for no reason, or have an odor problem.
