It is not, at least in countries where the average is less than 1.80 (90%+ of the world).
It is shorter than average but not short. Short is at least 6-7cm less than average. In most west countries average height for men is about 1.77-78. So to be considered short you must be less than 1.70-71. For sure with 1.74 you are not shot, unless we talk about Scandinavia etc.

At 5'8"" you are starting with a great disadvantage, it's pretty much not ideal in most of the world. You will be overlooked most of the time or friendzoned. I am 183-185cm and it's all right, but not desirable. The taller you are, the better and I believe that holds true to about 201cm and after that you get diminishing returns, unless your a strongman, basketball player, etc

You’re 6 foot, it’s literally the magic number. Height is not the issue for you, not even in the tallest countries.

Diminishing returns already start around 170 cm and after 6 foot the disadvantages outweigh the advantages. Doing this surgery at your height is madness, honestly..

My height really isnt anything special, it is way over-rated. Yeah it is more optimal than the shorter heights, but still significantly below the ideal. When it comes to dating the most ideal height IMO is about 201cm, when we are talking about getting the surgery I believe for the most part the starting height before surgery for 99.99% of people when dimishing returns really start to take affect is around 196cm. There might be a few very rare cases where they could still benefit being taller, but those would be outliers.

183cm is clearly not as beneficial as many may think. My dating life would definitely be improved being significantly taller, as I have actually tested it out with shoe lifts.

It all depends but I think of myself as a short person.

Can I ask where you are from? If you are from Northern Europe, then I agree with you 183 cm is around average and nothing special. To stand out you have to be at least 1SD above average.

If you have the surgery within max safe limits, you will be around 198 cm which is an ideal height in my opinion, it is definitely worth it.

Nothing will.change in your dating, at least positive. Because if your LL goes bad you will end up another crippled guy who did LL for no reason.

I am from California, USA. I live in a large city so the dating scene is extremely competitive. Most of the women I have talked to has said 183cm is subpar, 193cm is acceptably, and 201cm is the golden height

If you lived in Pandora I would understand, but it seems that if at 183 you don't have a full love life and confidence through the roof, then your problem is more than just height. I would dare say that you are a very shy person with little self-esteem.

My dude doesn't even get out from his house and his reel algorithm learned to show him only and just only those satire video memes about girls saying any man under 6'5 is not even a man but a girl.
Go to touch some grass my californian friend, and hit the gym ofc
