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.

I think that he has 20 inch shoulders, Thats why hes saying "only". I've got 20 inch shoulders and 194cm wingspan, So you can see why he is concerned, And on the same note i have a friend that is somewhere around 185cm (I don't ask people about their heights) And he seem to have shorter arms than me, His tibia is quite longer than mine tho. Natural proportions vary quite a lot i guess, Most people have equal or greater wingspan than height.
wingspan ≥ height, In most cases is greater rather than.

Yes, I have extremely broad shoulders for my height. I haven't measured them, but they are much, much wider than my 30 or 32 inch waist (US size). In fact, they are wider than the shoulders of most people of 188-196CM I know. I actually think it looks very good since I don't have a lot of body fat, and many people overestimate my height because of my broad shoulders. This makes me think that my torso will look proportionate at 188CM, even though my sitting height is 96 or 97 CM.  My arms aren't that long though. When I wear lifts to get to around 187-188CM, my arms are noticably on the shorter side, which does worry me. When I clench my hands into fists and put my arms at my side, they only go down to the bottom half of my penis. With my hands open, my arms go down to almost the halfway point between my waist and knees. My hand length is around 19-20CM. I do think, however, that the social benefits of being taller will outweigh the cons of having arms that are a little short for my height.

Either way, I'm not sure if I could ever cure my height neurosis without getting LL, and, in my opinion, I don't look bad at all in lifts, so I am pretty sure that I'm going to go for it and have LL as soon as my schedule and bank account permits.

You're right about the torso/limbs ratio, 2 kinds of natural builds i guess, One with short limbs and longer torsos and one with long limbs and short torsos. I guess people with low wingspan think wingspan is more important than SHR, And people with low SHR think that SHR is more important than wingspan.

BTW, Do you think this Human proportion calculator is legit?

Cause bloody hell, This thing seems to hit a few of my ratios to the mm.

I think that in most cases, one just has to accept that one will not look completely proportionate after LL and there's simply no denying it rationally. One has to ask if the benefit from the extra height outweights the negatives of having slight disproportion. In my case, I feel it does.

Still, most 188CM people that I meet do have sitting heights taller than my 96-97CM, some barely and some by a whole lot. I met a 196CM guy not long ago who had a 95-96CM sitting height though, so I guess I'll be ok.

And at 185-186CM, my arm span will be too short for someone 188CM tall. But it won't be painfully obvious and I doubt anyone will measure my arms to verify that my arm span correlates perfectly with my height.

Yeah and when you are on locations where height used to play a big role like a jacht boat with loafers, you will feel the equality and perfect harmony motion not how long your arms are.

No offense but why are you on this site and not on the juice living what 95% of the male population will never experience in their average life of existance. Baffles me bro. I feel like im done with society after this surgery.
