Meet the limb-lengthening Californian surgeon who purposely BREAKS men's legs so they can become 6ft and sexier to women... and he charges £130,000 for the eye-watering op!

With his slicked back hair and carefully practised smile, he might look your ordinary Los Angeles surgeon.

However Dr Shahab Mahboubian does not specialise in age-defying face lifts, boob jobs or any other Hollywood-loved op.

Instead, he focuses solely on lengthening limbs — an eye-watering procedure which can make someone six inches taller. Yet it can cost up to $170,000 (£134,000).

Yes. I jokingly replying to a post that women are requiring men to be 6ft tall. LOL Evidently not if your name is Bill Clinton (5’5”).

“Evidently not if your name is Bill Clinton (5’5”).”

Why do you say he is 5’5”?

The work was started in the 1950s in Russia and one of the original intents was indeed to fix unequal length legs, often due to poorly treated war wounds from WWII. It was so effective, they just kept pushing the envelope. We became aware of the procedure in the 1980s when the Soviet Union disintegrated and we began learning about what had been going on in the USSR and we began to collaborate with their researchers. There was a bit of suspicion on our part at the time that some of the research on this may have been conducted on prisoners in the Gulag system and some of the test subjects may not have been strictly voluntary participants.

That should tell you who you should not be dating.

Anyone who is basing dating criteria on height is not ready for marriage.

If you are looking for a marriage partner skip these people.

If you are looking for a cheap lay and you have no morals, just stick with professionals.

And changing yourself like this is stupid and dangerous. You want to make changes to attract a high quality mate? Try to be healthy, (no more then ten percent off your ideal weight), practice basic hygiene and get outside occasionally. That covers the physical and that is the easy part.

Working on your habits and personality is a lot more work for a lot less visible reward. People notice if you have lost weight, they do not notice that you have been practicing taking a deep breath and thinking before running your mouth.

You got a tan? People notice. You read a book on etiquette and now know how to behave at a five fork dinner? They probably will not notice.

Lifting weights? Notice. Read your Bible daily? No one will know.

But.... the person that you want to marry will know. And that is the only thing that matters.

Women have been doing this in Russia for at least 20 years to be more appealing as models. It’s extrenely painful. And stupid.

My husband is three inches taller than I am. I’m 5’2”. My ex of seven years was 5’11”, and the shortest of his three brothers (all between 6’0” and 6’6”).

As long as they love you, who cares? You’re setting yourself up for problems long-term. If you’re a tall woman, it’s awkward, sure, but geeze...

Hypocrisy abounds from both sides. It’s just over different preferences.

Andy Griffiths wife had his ankles broken and re-aligned to lessen his forward hunch that made him show his age. I know because I flew the plane to drop them off. She was about 40 years his younger. Nasty thing, too. Of one of the rules on her handed out list of forbidden behavior, was not to make eye contact with them. Another was no reference to Don Knots, or the Andy Griffith show.

Men do some seriously crazy stuff to supposedly please their miserable romantic interests.

This is as Black Pill as it gets. The internet is flooded with women doing dating profiles and social media stating they will never be with a man under 6’. I believe that eliminated 85% of adult me. - I got totally dissed on a dating site by a woman who had a 6’4” height minimum set for her man and I didn’t make the grade at only slightly over 6ft. I made the point that men 6’4” and above made up less than 2% of the population. She made the point that she was very well off and felt she could hold out for her dream giant as she called her ideal guy. Then she told me to buzz off and unceremoniously deleted our match thread due to a lack of vertical stature. FWIW, that was more than several years ago and she is still on the same site looking - and she has not updated her pics in about 6 years. Good luck on that one, baby. Really feel for the great guys who get stiffed simply because they fall a bit short of that magical, arbitrary 6 ft high hurdle.
