im 157cm (5′2) 26yo male i have been in a realationship for 3years and i did had success somewhat with girls. tho sometime I feel like i need to work very hard, harder than my tall friends. if im not on my top shape and lean i feel like im not enough, and given less chances with girls. im pretty muscular, and have an ok face, i also pretty nice to talk to and tbh i never had a first date which the girl didnt want to go to a second date with me. but the height a lot of times made some girls not even consider me, and tbh 157 cm is like shorter than 99% of guys. im thinking about doing it to get to 5′6 tho i also dont wanna be the guy who is known for doing limb lengthning surgery cause its like an insecure thing. im pretty lost tbh. need some outsiders perspective ty

No. Many other things you can do have a bigger impact on dating success, without any real downsides.

It's very common to need to work hard to find relationships. That's not going away.

Also at 26 you're still very young. You have a lot of time to keep rolling the dice on meeting new people.

At 26 the dating pool might be starting to thin a little, but if he takes a few years out for elective surgery the dating landscape isn't going to have improved.

I guess you are right. i guess im kind of depressed lately so i try to blame my height for it.
