Many attributes about TRP I already had ingrained into the kind of man I want to become. To be independent & generally just get shit done. Early on witnessing what my gold-digging mother did to my father & going through some medical things really opened my eyes and made me reject the fantasy-land most grow up with.

A few months ago I posted here asking for advice on what to do. Hitting the gym was step one. I'm happy to report I've been going 6 days a week for over a month, and it's helped immensely mentally & of course physically.

"Attraction is non-negotiable" is a reality we've all come to swallow hard. At 5"0, affected by severe scoliosis as well as a rare form of dwarfism called Jeune Syndrome, I'm at the low low end of the spectrum when it comes to physical SMV. Here's some pics 1 2 3 (Note beergut was of my own doing. I'm working on it). I'm 24 now & have had a couple girlfriends in my earlier years, so I'm not completely devoid of experience in those areas. I'm also aware of how easily I can be outclassed by taller, healthier men.

Do you think I can raise my SMV enough for LTR situations? What other things can you suggest to improve my SMV? I'm already going to the gym, pursuing various hobbies & plan on going to school soon.
