I had a short friend in high school who was insecure about his height. He is about 5’3. In his eyes, it was the first thing people noticed about him. Last time I saw him he had gotten incredibly fit. Most people noticed his muscles more than the fact that he was short (also you might he less likely to tease someone who can throw your 6 foot body across the room).

I think that would be a more appropriate investment than this if it bothered you so much. I also think it gave him more confidence. I worry the individual in the article will end up despondent that they aren’t “over 6 feet”.
