Thats only your opinion man, you havent been in my place and I havent been in yours, so we can only speculate.
From my 172cm (I gained more but maintained 1cm thx to yoga) I know that the only effect of going into 5'10 (which is average almost everywhere and tall in some places) would be in dating life (to a certain extent). I dont believe that at 5'7.5 I have any disadvantage with gaining friends or in the job market (atleast that's what my life has showed me) or anything... Nor that my height is making me any less "socially wanted" by other men or women (I have many friends).
About women, stopping being short is much much much bigger change than becoming tall. Just like a guy that from fat becomes skinny (but not muscular)... I have gone through being very fat to skinny to pretty muscular (upside down triangle build) and I can say that the biggest change in success with women came when I lost the weight (And I lost something like 20 kgs which are I believe 45lbs or more...). The change was immense and I felt much much much more wanted than when I was fat. When I became fit, there was a change but really... It wasnt noticable... It added maybe 1 or 2 girls per year which was nothing compare to what was when I lost the weight.
Same is with height. Unless you are really really ugly or below average looks, being 5'10 is not a disadvantage (unless you come from places where the average is 5'11+ which means you are either from an aryan or nordic countries or dutch) compared to tall guys... Yes... Being taller will make you more "good looking" in general but it will not have a huge impact on your dating life... I know A LOT of 6'-6'1 (actually not that alot since in my home country or in Italy 6' is considered very tall and let alone anything above that) who are losers when it comes to getting attention from women...
Height is important, but its very very very overated in here
