I understand this seems subjective for everyone, some people are happy and live perfectly normal lives at 170c, while others are still dissatisfied at 185cm.

I'm wondering - for the majority of people, what height would be considered enough to be regarded as completely unremarkable. Like it doesn't need to have any net positive, but just definitively not a net negative. Like if something bad was to happen, such as being rejected by a romantic partner, looked down upon socially or professionally, etc. and know 100% that it was definitely not remotely related to your height.

If I was 173cm, height would be a non issue.

I feel like between 185-190cm is a great height (I am 169), so I wont get that tall but I would be ok around 177-182 prob. At that height I can bulk a little for a bigger look. There are guys around 171-175 who look big because they work out. But there are also 185cm+ guys who look little because they're too skinny. So height wont fix everything but I do believe in a minimum.

There are other posts on this already. Most people will put 5’8” to 5’9” as the minimum.

Idk at 5’8 you still gotta have a decent face and build. If you have an average face at 5’8 you’ll struggle a lot if you’re gen z.

Yeah you can't separate height on its own like that, it depends on your looks, personality and location. It's kinda like a girl asking "At what size will I have no negative affect from my tits?". Not exactly the same but apply similar logic.

Like someone else said, mr average might struggle a lot and blame (somewhat fairly) his height at 5'8 whereas a really good looking guy wouldn't consider this surgery.

I went from 5'5 to 5'7.5 and I still wear small lifts for a confidence booster. Keep in mind, no one is going to please everyone and thinking in black and white is usually unhealthy. Alright so with all that said, if you're 6'2, you can probably blame something other than your height for rejection.
