I am quite handsome, and I have very harmonious proportions. My dad is kinda tall at 5'10 (178 cm tall) and my mom is not that short at 5'1 (154 cm tall).
Even if I was only 5'6 I could have a lot of luck with girls. How unfair.

I'm 24 btw, so there is no hope of growing more

What country are you in where 5'10 is kinda tall for a man and 5'1 is not short for a woman? Do not move to the US or Europe whatever you do

5'10 would be average for men in the developed world so that's not bad but 5'1 is very short for women. Your father choosing such a short woman is what gave you such a bad height.

i meant, 5'10 is in the taller side (even by a little bit) and 5'1 is not THAT short for a woman. Both kinda normal heights. The weird one here is me at 5'2 as an adult man with the parents i have

Strong 178 cm is decent height for a man in every part of the world. There's nothing wrong with being that height if legs are not short.

154 cm for a woman is short but not comically short. It's about the same as 165 cm for a man.

OP is 158 cm with 178 cm father and 154 cm mother, which is abnormal. He should have been at least 170 cm tall IMO.

My father was about 160-162 cm, my mother is about 153-154 cm and I am strong 165 cm (167 cm in the morning). My brother is 170-171 cm at night. He's about 11 years younger than me.

In theory, I could have grown at least 170-173 cm if I was lucky, but this is what it is.

OP, you've got decent enough face for a male but with 158 cm of height, it's useless. I, for example, have very good looking face at 165 cm but it's not helping that much at my age (late 20s). Height is becoming more important for a man after the age of 25 IMO.

You said you live in Argentina where height standards for a man is not that shallow as in USA / EU. I think that with that face you can live decent life at strong 168 cm which is not that bad in LATAM countries. Get 2 inches per segment if you can afford that.

Where I live decent height is very important for a successful dating life for a man. At 165 cm, even if I had Brad Pitt's head mounted on my body, I would still be unacceptable for the majority of women.

The irony is that I have a very masculine body frame and face is also masculine and women kinda expect that I am at least average height (175-178 cm range). They don't even ask for my height online because I don't give off a short man's vibe due to said attributes mentioned. They get very disappointed when they see me IRL at 165 cm tall.

It's not only my short height that disappoints them, but also my very short legs which is apparent immediately when you see me IRL. One girl even said it to me explicitly that I have short legs and it hurt me very bad. That incident fueled my motivation to get LL even further and I became absolutely certain that I need it and will do whenever ready.

OP, if you have full-body pics, post it and I'll tell you how much can you lengthen your legs. If you can push 5 inches, you'll stand at a solid 170-171 cm range barefoot with longish legs. With 4 cm sneakers, you'll blend in nicely with other men there in Argentina.

Argentina is not like the rest of LATAM in terms of height, if i was in bolivia or Peru for example i could be just about 12 cm under average height for young guys like me, but here where i live im about 20 cm cm shorter, wich its savage. At 158 cm tall im shorter than the average women by a considerable gap here, maybe for about 5 cm or so, in other places in latin america, like the previous mentioned, i could be taller, even just by a bit, wich is very different and gives you another position in the dating game, in qualitative terms, not just quantitative.
Im planning maybe to go to Ecuador to visit a friend of mine after surgery, there women are shorter and i could be in a fair advantage considering im kinda good looking.

Yeah from China here and this world is just a massive hell and I never felt blessed to have been born onto this world. This is why the fertility rate of smart people is low because they are aware of the brutalities of this world, as opposed to dumb people being totally oblivious to them thus still reproducing oligophrenically only to torture countless people. I am not an MDD patient or smth like that and I am just a pessimist like Schopenhaur(he was post-humously very despiced due to his pessimism because it was a legit truth-teller).
Yeah shortness is unfortunately just one of the torments out there. There are also poorness, diseases/disorders, wars, etc., really can't figure out why life is beautiful hahaha.

Well, 4 inches is significant height improvement from your starting height. It will make your life livable  in LATAM at least.

6 femur and 4 tibia is the easier split rather than 5 femur and 5 tibia. If you have the funds, go for it, it will certainly change your life.

I'm waiting for the moment to get the required funds and will pull the trigger immediately. Need at least 4 inches and maybe will push to 13/14 cm if my soft tissues allow it.

Yes, Argentina is not full of u-gly, dark skinned and short natives like rest of latam countries !.... It is like an european country, with white, pretty tall and beautiful people.  They took care of that carefully and they consider themself european, which I love it !
I had an intention to move in Argentina, but because of their economic stupid crisis, I gave up.

I understand you and you are right, you must get 5 inches height, in 2 separate stages, 3 inches femur + 2 inches tibia, so finally you will be as I was before, 1.71 m.
You will not be tall, but 90% of women will never complain anymore !

Well, I wouldn't call other LATAM country natives ugly, at least women are hot in most LATAM countries, even if they are 5 feet tall on average.

As for 171 cm and women no longer commenting negatively, it depends on many factors but some women will still comment about it, no matter how good a man might be at that height.

Specifically, after strong 170, it's all about masculinity, body frame, proportions, facial aesthetics (needs to be manly with a bit of aesthethic, soft features), mature style, grown-up attitude and demeanor, deep, confident and pleasant voice... There are other things that is not related to appearance like being successful, having a status, money, etc. which plays significant role in a man's life and compliments well with great appearance. Wearing manly, high quality and well-cared shoes is critical too. Basically, after 25 years of age men need to men-up in every department in order to compete and in order for women to see them valuable.

Although height is something that can't be changed without LL and most short men are either unaware that LL exists or are poor to do it. Some are afraid, some are in denial that height is needed so they cope with other things like going to the gym and taking roids to compensate with muscles, which looks retarted the shorter the man is (usually less than 5'8 guys).

I have a decent face with full head of hear, great body frame for muscle building and know what and how to wear properly to appear the best version of myself but only thing that makes me insecure is my height, especially my short legs. I try to wear in a way to elongate my legs as possible (tucked in shirts, boots with long pants) but it's troublesome worrying constantly to make adjustments on my pants in order to appear less short-legged.

I think that double (single LL won't be enough for me) LL of at least 4 inches (but full 13 cm would be great) will make me a completely new person inside and out. Not only my appearance will change but also my attitude and character too, which will positively affect future relationships of any kind.

Men need to take care of themselves in today's world in order to stay competitive. Investing in ourselves should be the most important thing we should be worrying about everyday, no matter the age. Unfortunately, we, short men need to break our legs as there's no other way to fix this issue. Those who won't break their legs and remain manlets will forever be scrutinized for their lack of height, no matter how successful, famous and rich they become (take Tom Cruise for example).

So, LL is significant investment for short men and it never ends with it. We have to keep our body shape even during the LL process and more so after the lengthening. Those who don't need LL are significantly ahead of us, who need to sacrifice 2 years of our life and huge finances to become competitive in something that is unchangeable without extreme surgeries. And, as I said, it never stops there as after the LL we have to keep competing in other areas too with the other men who were ahead of us prior LL simply because they were not short and stood at least at average height.
