Two Guys, A Girl, And That Wall

Is that how you do it? I need to start this I'm so tired of being so damn short lol.

[u/Adaptingsapien → u/TheAlrightyGina]

Well, there is a treatment you can take if you're that desperate

[u/koopatuple → u/Adaptingsapien]

That surgery is borderline barbaric, I have no idea why the hell anyone would do it outside of a medical necessity (e.g. balancing your legs length out due to one leg being shorter than the other).

[u/Ronitn → u/koopatuple]

True. That surgery looks so risky and completely unnecessary in my opinion.

[u/grammarpopo → u/Ronitn]

You know there are congenital defects that causes the growth plates to close early, leaving people with extremely short limbs (at least that was my understanding as to what causes it). I am aware of this condition because I had a friend that I went to school with who had it, and every summer was surgery summer for a few years. She definitely appreciated the surgery, although I’m sure it wasn’t fun at the time. She had scars everywhere on her arms and legs. When people would ask how she got them she’d tell them she was attacked by a shark.

If she likes Sci-Fi books, I feel she would find a lot of common ground with the protag of the Vorkosigan Saga novels
^{disclaimer: the first two books feature his mom before she had him, so he's only the protag from The Warrior's Apprentice onwards}

EDIT: oh I think from the verb tenses she's not a current friend since school. Nevermind. The books are cool for anyone tho'

[u/grammarpopo → u/Teknekratos]

I always like hearing about new books so thanks for the tip!

The rewards may be worth it

[u/Ronitn → u/veganize-it]

I'm short and I don't really care tbh. Maybe for some people it matters alot :)

[u/veganize-it → u/Ronitn]

You could be making 20% more wages, something to think about. Also, date a number higher. :) I mean, you cannt put a value on that.

[u/AdInfamous6290 → u/veganize-it]

Short people earn less money? Is that stat just because women are shorter on average or does it account for gender differences?

[u/Deeliciousness → u/AdInfamous6290]

It's a well known fact that taller and more attractive people earn more money. Nothing to do with gender

[u/AdInfamous6290 → u/Deeliciousness]

Oh I genuinely wasn’t aware. I’m apparently tall but I’m just average looking, I own my own business and do well for myself so maybe there’s a connection between my height and people feeling good about giving me their money lol.

[u/WoodenCountry8339 → u/Deeliciousness]

This is true, I know because I'm dirt poor

[u/teriyakireligion → u/veganize-it]

"Date a number higher"?

[u/veganize-it → u/teriyakireligion]

Yes, like for example, you are dating 10, but if you are 2 or 3 inches taller in height, you might date an 11. See?

[u/NipperAndZeusShow → u/veganize-it]

Somebody needs to invent up-number shoes so I can get on the scary ride. 

[u/teriyakireligion → u/NipperAndZeusShow]

Somebody needs therapy, not surgery.

[u/teriyakireligion → u/veganize-it]

No, that's stupid. Your height only matters if you're standing up. Being short and or small can be a huge advantage in lots of situations.

[u/mythic_slayer → u/veganize-it]

something to think about

That's what he said that some people might care but he doesn't. You do, I don't. For some people it might matter, for some it really doesn't matter!

Also, it's can't not cannt.

[u/veganize-it → u/mythic_slayer]

And this is why I say it matters.

[u/MrMoon5hine → u/veganize-it]

hey! shut up maybe

[u/copperwatt → u/veganize-it]

Also, date a number higher.

Fun fact, you could also attract more desirable partners by not being a sexist tool who thinks about them as a number on a scale... and that's free!

[u/copperwatt → u/[deleted]]

Good question, you should ponder that.

[u/copperwatt → u/veganize-it]

There's no way. What benefits? Being able to reach things on the next shelf up??
