#5Goliath the Philistine was six cubits and a span. The internet tells me that 6'0" is the manlet cutoff. He should have either embraced his original height, or asked for a discount since the doctor was two inches short of the mark.

#6Do you think remote first companies will be at an advantage because physical biases like height, age, and weight have less signal to form against?

#7Seems like such an extreme surgery for a few inches. I would think that a treatment as extreme as this should require at least attempted psychiatric treatment before going to full on broken femurs.
But maybe an inch can make much more difference than I think. I am literally one inch taller than this guy and I cannot ever in my life remember someone calling me short or disparaging me for my height.
I do agree that being a little bit taller would be an advantage in many ways. But so would being born into wealth or being extremely attractive.

No, the opposite. This is driven by apps and screen mediated interaction. In real life every person has thousands of facets that give a holistic impression. And people more easily have genuine connections with each other.
Online there is instead a huge focus on the big few. And they take on the role of dealbreakers.

Isn't this true of any cosmetic surgery? They all carry some amount of expense, pain, and risk.

I suspect that most people who get this surgery are thinking mostly about their ability to date women. That single issue can definitely be make-or-break for some people's happiness.

I have to get a few letters of sanity to get genital surgery. It'll probably turn out the same with stuff like this.
