Re: How much do you want to be a few inches taller...
I can definately tell that girls look at me less because I'm short. It's more obvious at a school like UF because there are a bunch of self-centered dumb bitches but I've seen plenty of girls go for "ugly" taller guys because they would rather be seen with a taller guy.
It's not the end of the world though becaue if my height bothered a potential gf, date, hookup, etc, I wouldn't want to be with her anyway.

Re: How much do you want to be a few inches taller...
This is something that some of the shorter people might find very interesting. I don't remember where this came from but it was a study about how height will affect a man's results in his career and with women. Height does affect how much money you make and how many women you have sex with, that was shown without a doubt in the study. But the really interesting thing is that it wasn't adult height that mattered it was your height during high school. If you were short in high school and then got a growth spurt in college then you would tend to have 'short man' results in work and dating. If you were maybe 5' 10" in high school but then stopped growing you would be closer to 'tall man' results. And the conclusion was that it has everything to do with self confidence, if you are tall in high school you develop confidence that stays with you for life, if you were short you have a lack of self confidence that stays with you.

I already have long legs and a short torso (6'), so making legs longer would just be ridiculous. I'm assuming they stretch the femurs out? People are going to start looking funny with short little (fibula? tibia?...whatever the bone from the knee to ankle is called), and long femurs. People who are like 5'7 with short legs and long torso are probably the best candidates. They could get to a more respectable height of 5'9", AND look proportional. [/ QUOTE ] yea same here, 6' tall and i have long legs, at least i think so...looks stupid when i have to tuck in my shirt...
