Spinoff do you lie about your height?

I find that 5'10 guys say they are 6ft are the worst.

They are thinking metric system.

I'm 6'3, so no. On the flip side, I haaaaaate small cars.

Why would I lie about my height? I'm 6'5.

One of my friends growing up had a sister who was exactly 5-11 in bare feet. She used to laugh about all the guys claiming to be 6+ feet tall who were shorter than she was.

I'm somewhere in between 6'1" and 6'2", but I swear tons of guys try to say I'm like 6'4", so they can claim they're 6'.

I hear the same thing all the time

Used to think I was 5'10, found out a couple years ago that I'm somewhere between 5'8.5 and 5'9. We usually lose half an inch throughout the day.

Most people exaggerate their height. Not all do it on purpose. I've seen really tall people lie about height. Even John Wayne wore 3-4 inch lifts in his shoes to be taller, he was 6'4 barefoot.

I've also seen really tall girls who are insecure about their height and have awful posture to look shorter. One even confessed about lying to be 5'11, when she was actually 6'1.

I'd about 70-80 percent of people don't know their true height.

I'm 5'11.5 and I say 6 feet. But that's recent. When I entered college 20+ years ago I was 5'10.75 and always said 5'11. For decades. Somehow I must have grown 3/4" in college but never knew until recently.

Plenty of guys that are about an inch or more shorter than me say 6 feet. I don't know what to say about those losers.
