That's your arm lenght? You will look fine up to 195 cm don't worry about it.

At least that's what the numbers tell us but who can say for sure. My arms are statistically short for my height already but I thought they were long until I measured.

Yes, I calculated it (really doubt it). Don't get discouraged if you truly feel unhappy with your height, You could always lengthen to some extend. And don't think that all people are proportionate, Ive seen ALOT of tall people with disproportions (because i had height neurosis) always comparing people's heights and proportions. Once i saw a guy who was 1 head taller than me, He was maybe 6'6 - 6'7, He had a bit trouble entering the door, I saw him at a grocery store. I had a good chance to look at his proportions while passing by, without looking lilke a creep, His arms where equal or shorter than mine. Once at a ophthalmologist office i sat next to a 6'4 guy (on purpose, so i could compare sitting heights) the guy had maybe 95-96cm sitting height max. My point is that if those people and many more exist in the real world without people pointing a finger at them for being disproportionate, You might LL to some extent.
Look at Conan O'Brien, He is really disproportionate, But people don't bring so much attention to it, He is the only one that makes fun of his legs.

680,

Your wingspan is 194cm at 178cm height? That's an anomaly, but a good one to have for LL. Why are your goals so modest? You should do 6 and 7cm with that wingspan, lol. As for the people out there, how do you know they haven't LL'ed? People always think there are no other LLers out there (I'm susceptible to this) but of all the people who've done it, they have to get up and go out at some point, so they are liable to eventually be viewed by someone judging proportion.

I highly doubt it, In my little s**tty country LL would be the last thing to worry about, Anyways my goals are realistic. Ive got a SHR of 51.5%...
Ill be crossing the 50% SHR line and end up at 49.72% SHR (184cm) or 49.45% SHR (185cm)

I guess the longer the torso, the shorter the arms, in most cases. I am 179 CM have a 96 or maybe even 97 CM sitting height, but my wingspan is only around 185 CM.

But how long are your arms that's what's really important.

Only!
My wingspan is 179 cm (my height is 177.5-178) and i gave my sportcoat to a guy who s like 186 cm (his familiy is not rich so we give them some clothes which we dont wear anymore), this sportcoat was a bit short for me especially sleeves and i had no doubt it would be too small and short on him, but once he put it on i couldn't believe my eyes, it fitted him so well and not short at all. And he doesnt look disproportionate at all, jsut tall guy.
