We’ve turned into a Hive, things are getting serious. Auto-translated

In Germany, a young man, 23 years old, took an extreme step to increase his height from 171 cm to 192 cm. His decision was motivated by depression caused by problems in his personal life due to his short stature.

He felt uncomfortable seeing other men taller than him, which hindered him from building relationships. As a result, he underwent two surgical procedures – leg fractures with the insertion of metal pins. After the operations, he spent almost a year in a wheelchair and using crutches, experiencing severe pain, which caused him to sleep no more than four hours a day. Nevertheless, he is now satisfied with the achieved result. He spent over 200 thousand euros on treatment and operations.

Another man, 29 years old, also decided to increase his height from 160 cm to 180 cm using leg lengthening. He always considered himself short and faced difficulties in communication on dating sites. He paid 175 thousand dollars for the procedures.

Recently, clinics have recorded a sharp increase in demand for such operations. Many men are willing to make any sacrifices, hoping that this will help them attract the attention of beautiful women and improve their intimate life.

Pay a huge amount of money, get a high chance of becoming disabled for a negligible chance of holding hands.
But then they will face the reality that the problem is not in height, but in the head, which needs to be fixed. And they will have to pay another huge amount of money to a psychotherapist, who also will not be able to guarantee a result.

I hope he has money left for jaw surgery, otherwise he's still doomed.

The problem lies in height, which leads to problems in the head. So, most likely, things will improve in the head after an increase in height. And the chances will definitely increase, possibly even several times over. At best, a psychotherapist would teach him to accept and tolerate the fact that he is short. At worst, he would advise him to find a girlfriend with a face that resembles his son's.

Oh, come on. There are many Karlans whose height doesn't prevent them from attracting partners and living quite happily. Some are so bold that you could envy their courage and audacity. So, it's not so much about height, but about what's in their head: how a person perceives themselves, what kind of environment they grew up in, how they behave in society, and so on.

To be fair, a very tall girl can also fall into this kind of trap, as she will only look at guys taller than 190 due to stereotypes, among whom she won't find a suitable one, and ignore normal guys around 170-180. And then a stereotype will form that "all men are jerks," although in reality, she saw jerks in that narrow sample that she herself set. Here, too, you need to work on your mindset.
