Polls: Fashion & Beauty

OK I am asking here because I see that guys seem to go to the gym hoping to get a six pack(yet clearly have no idea what they're doing) and they feel it will help them pick up chicks.

But then I notice girls saying they really don't care if they get a six pack and some even find them to be gross or feel the guy is just cocky if he even has one.

So girls, are six packs hot, gross, or what? I am even seeing articles that some people with six pack abs aren't even in healthy conditions and suffer from constipation, have unhealthy body fat %'s, live very restricted lifestyles, and take the whole thing way too far. I personally think a healthy lifestyle is more important than stressing over the visibility of abs. What do you think?

Or even prefer that style? I wear them sometimes, but not

tighty-whities.

I learned a new term today. This is a picture of a bikini bridge, where the girl's hip bones protrude farther than her stomach does.

I have mixed feelings about it. I love the way a fit healthy girl looks, but there's a point where she starts looking too thin.

I was standing around with some of my co-workers when a male co-worker said, “I like your belt”. Other co-workers looked down at belt too and complimented me on it. This one female co-worker looked down, grinning/smiling and staring for a few seconds, but didn’t say anything. Was she looking at my bulge? She was the only co-worker who changed facial expression while looking.

I wasn’t wearing a jacket at the time, just my shirt tucked into my suit pants. So the whole area was viewable. My bulge is pretty noticeable, even though they’re not tight pants (perhaps because they’re a light color). In other words, I doubt that she was smiling because she thought it was a funny sight. It’s not like those too-tight skinny jeans that some guys like wearing! Just normal suit pants that are the correct fit for me. But you wouldn’t be able to look at my belt without also seeing my bulge.

All other things aside, would a guy of this height be on your radar, or would he still be too short and it be a complete deal breaker? The keyword here being "deal breaker".

I'm actually much shorter than this. I'm in the bottom 5% for men (1% to be exact). which means I'm considered to be abnormal (more than 3 standard deviations from the mean).

My entire life even since I was in grade school, I've been picked on, bullied, & made fun of for my height. Guys give me no respect, and women won't even bat an eye lash at me. On far too many occasions women have told me to my face that if I was taller they would date me, because other than that I was a great and attractive guy. Men will literally walk up and start hitting on girls I'm with, right next to me, because they see me as a joke who can't physically hurt them. Everywhere I go guys and girls make comments about my height as if I'm handicapped or something. Even my own friends draw attention to it because they don't realize that while I just laugh it off, I'm crushed on the inside.

It's gotten so serious that I've literally contemplated suicide because I just cannot take the pain of dealing with this anymore. I'm losing the strength to keep my head up when every day people make me feel like a freak, or when girls I've fallen for make jokes about my height.

So the reason I ask this is because after having done some extensive research, I'm very seriously considering leg lengthening surgery. Great advances have been made which make it relatively safe and complication free. The process only takes 4-6 months, you can gain about 3in with today's new technology, and there is relatively little pain and scaring. The only negative is the money. However, I'm very fortunate to come from a fairly wealthy family who I know is very supportive and would have the ability to pay for this if it came to that point. I am certain that a doctor would consider me a prime candidate for this surgery, given a variety of circumstances. Again, I've done a lot of research.

Personally I know I would be 100x happier by just having a few inches. I'm not looking to be a giant, I just want to stop being looked at as a freak. That said, I know I personally would be very satisfied with this height (which is about the 40th percentile for men), but I'm just curious as to how women would see it? So again, if a guy who is around 5'7, is that a deal breaker for you or is he still plenty tall enough.

BTW, if you are a girl who is like 6ft tall and you still say no, I understand. You don't have to lie. You won't hurt my feelings. I respect a women's preference to not like shorter guys. I probably wouldn't either.

Oh I might add, just as some food for thought. When I say 5'7, I referring to height with no shoes. With the shoes I tend to wear, I'd prob be 5'8+ when in public if I had the surgery.
