It's true, some of the advantages of being tall has been proven to diminish the higher you get. This means that at some point the disadvantages will outweigh the advantages. For example I would personally be 195CM rather than 200CM but I would also prefer 190CM over 185CM

Amen brother. I wouldn't want to be 195cms ( which is just below 6'5") but I would rather be it then 187cms (6'1.5 or sometimes 6'1.75" depending how close you are to it) or below. I'm aware that anything more than 189cm or 6'2" is in America is gonna diminish returns from women.
I'm doing it for personal arbitrary.

Weird man..just weird that you cant be happy with yourself at your current height. What adolecence trauma happened to you?
I agree that taller people should be able to get LL if they want to. A cost/benefit analysis should be done. It's alot of time and temporary disability for something that will provide minimal benefit as compared to a short guy becoming average who won't have to deal with heightism in the workplace, dating etc. However I you believe it's worth those risks then go for it.

I think a valid point that most people bring up is that already tall people seeking LL are somehow deluded into thinking that they will be happy once they get that extra height and become "very tall". Some comments here are already screaming "height is not your problem", yet these people continue to still believe in butchering their legs for that extra cm (which will not yield much benefit) is the right way to go.

Believe me. There's a benefit from going to 6'0" to 6'5". People won't want to attack you at 6'5" but at 6'0" they might. It's like I said, every height category has 3" for a different social setting.
5'9-5'11" average, 6'0"- 6'2" tall , 6'3" and 6'4" very tall, 6'5" and above is extremely tall.
If you leave any height range of 3", the social Influence will change.

I bet no one wanna mess with this scary 6'3" guy.
Don't think that you would be more "alpha" with your new height (whatever that might be).
This guy has the same sitting height as you, 94cm. If you do 4 inches that will put you to an unreasonable inseam. But on the bright side, I bet that no one would want to mess with slender man himself. You aim for 190cm minimum and 193cm idle, (3-4) inches will put you to a 36 inseam (insane) if you wear 32 inseam, And 38 inseam (straight up mental) if you wear 34 inseam currently. You have the same build as me, Long limbs and short torso, Keep that in mind.

You are just too caught up with your own theories on how society works and perceives height. You think that way, fine. Some people think that way, it's also fine. I don't deny that. but most people will not see the difference between 6'3 and 6'4. Just because you think that way it doesn't mean that the majority of the population does as well. You have to keep that in mind.
There are a lot other factors determining social influence. Height may or may not be one of them and it depends on who is judging. No offence but you appear to me like you just want to be as tall as possible to intimidate the fk out of everyone else in the room. If you're doing LL just to feel alpha, then it's kind of mentally sick TBH.
