Hey folks,
so I stumbled upon a very interesting YouTube channel to say the least.
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIb-SFeaVs60jQ0GWckA4ZQ (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIb-SFeaVs60jQ0GWckA4ZQ)
So there is this 6' guy who is clearly affected by mental illness posting YouTube videos where he measures and compares his forearm with random girls he approaches. He even went as far as having a skype interview with a model (?) who measured her forearm for him. They both have similar length at similar height which gets him off in an... inappropriate way.

Generally, he says he is very unhappy and depressed that his forearm isn't long enough, despite it being absolutely normal for his stature.
Also he thinks Paley can magically make his forearms longer, despite Paley not even offering that to begin with.

The interactions he has are so awkward

You can see this guy is far gone and down the deep end. He is one of *that* kind of people.
What he kind of doesn't understand is that his arms appear subjectively shorter because he is obese. Long "spindly" forearms is a trait of thin people. Also IRL the pure difference in cm in Ulnar (elbow to wrist) length is insignificant in different heights. Keep in mind, hypothetically anthropomorphologically wingspan = height. and Wingspan = Width of manubrium sterni + 2x clavicula + 2x humerus + 2x forearm + 2x hand (palm + finger) length. Now dividing that by 2 and substracting every aspect means that the forearm length isn't too different in people at different heights. This can also be clearly seen in his videos, everything you see there is absolutely normal in terms of proportions and sizes of all the people he shows, there is no abnormality in his or their biology (by which I am referring to bone structure in this case), despite him believing so. I sincerely hope he never does forearm lengthening with some butcher doctor who does it for the easy money. I hope he will realize that he would improve the look of his arms by losing weight, primarily.
Well anyways, guess nobody should tell him about Marfan Syndrome, eh?
tldr; interesting rabbit hole of a rabbit hole to dive into, check out the links, this just shows the deep ends of this whole LL rabbit hole

Yeah you got him but for me I'd rather lose my two forearms to become tall.
