So I am 6'1 with a long torso and short legs (32 inseam) and it looks very weird. If I did get LL whats the max I could get to look normal or have slightly larger legs? My wingspan is also 6'1 if that matters
-
I gotta say I feel bad for the 6'1 lads, its the height that is above average but never recognized as "tall" since tall starts at 6'2
-
Nobody ever said being tall starts at 6'2, I like how you are slaves of numbers. On the street you would never tell the difference between two guys one being 6'1 and the other one being 6'2. Different hair style, different posture, different shoes, you would basically see two guys exactly same height.
Like you would feel crap if instead of being 180 you are 179.5
it's a psychological problem

Proportions are overrated in the first place, but even so, 32inch inseam is perfectly normal for 6'1''. 32~34'' inseam is the "ideal" as far as I know, depending on the style of pants you like to wear. If you really just have the money lying around to spend to get proportions you would rather prefer, or the said 34'', thats 2 inches roughly 5cm to get longer legs.
You have other things to worry about if you think 32'' looks weird on you at 6'1''.

@loud , it was a joke

very well put. Once you are 178 +, height stops to be a physical problem but a psychological one :)

I don’t think you have such short legs. How did you take the measurements? What is your sitting height? Most likely, you measured it wrong.
Or post a photo in your underpants. We will see how you look. You can cover your face

Inseam measurement from the trousers you wear can be misleading as it depend where you tie your pants and most guys wear them low. Accurate measurement of your leg length is to measure them from the floor to your pubic bone. You will be surprised that your leg length might actually be couple of inches more than inseam ofbuour pants.

Long torso and short legs is the anatomy of a dolphin. Guess who has the same anatomy as you: Michael Phelps

I did that and I got 32 inches and a quarter.
Proportions are actually so important. With long legs you will look taller. Without them, even if you are 6'4 people will perceive you as short when you are far away and won't feel as tall.

Make 5-6 cm in tibias or femurs and don’t worry

What country do you live in? I was expecting a lot more backlash for you wanting to get LL at such a good height.
