It looks like medieval torture, from the metal rods inserted into sawn bones to the months of agonising recovery. But to some, travelling to Turkey to gain a few inches is a (very high) price worth paying

      Under 6’4" DNI /S

      But for real a lot of Tinder bios and stuff have a 6’ minimum stated. While 6’+ people aren’t rare exactly, I’ve known many women and men who hover around that mark or exceed it, it does exclude a large segment of the population.

      I think a large part of it is that women generally want a partner taller than them. Guys also seem to generally want a partner shorter than them. And a lot of people will just ignore others until someone checks all the boxes instead of taking a chance. This in turn tends to fuel the loneliness epidemic and can’t be good for self image.

        Only about 15% of US men are over 6 ft tall.
