(srs) Why do americans lie about their height?

I thought I was 5'10" because my grandma would always call me tall

then I started dating a 5'10" guy and got measured at doctor's office at 5'8"

and it's hard not to be obsessed with your height when 10% of posts on /fit/ are manlet memes and 25% of tindr posts say they like tall guys

>I'm a 1.81m (aka 5'11.25

again, what girls think is 6' is probably like 5'10"

source on this you faggots

Because they try to impress women because American women are vapid and shallow.

a LEGIT 6'1 is what most normies would call 6'3

>>41240432
I was measured 5'10 at the doctors office. As long as I don't mention my height, most people assume in 6'0

why so angry tho?

Older anon here

My height varies through the day and what I've done.

Realistically I'm between 5'11.25" and 5'11.5" rolling out of bed, assuming I didn't do an evening DL workout. End of day I'm easily an inch & half shorter. If I hang in gravity boots in the morning I'll easily add a quarter to a full inch.

On my drivers license I'm listed at 6' because that's what I was at 16 (rounded to nearest inch). Unless I've just done an hour of spine compressing squats, I don't care, and I've never had to go to the dmv for a renewal. Online and mail renewal is better than waiting in a disease ridden room for two hours

people on this board claim 6' is average for teens today in the US yet when i went there last year as 192 cm guy (6'4?) i was literally taller than everyone i saw by like a full head. real 6' people are not that short, i know because my father is a bit over 6' and i'm not a full head taller than him. the only real tall people i met that were clearly above 6' were black.

but it doesn't surprise me. everyone on this board is 6'3 and has a 8+x6+ dick and looks like arnold yet the CBT threads are laughable

who else feels like they dodged a bullet by not being born/living in the US?

I know a lot of 9/10 girls with 5'9" 6/10 skinnyfat bfs and they are perfectly happy. it's all about dick size anyway so my people win.

>>41240493
when i was younger this one always threw me off, i am 6'4 barefood and have had many people say around me that they were 6'2-6'3 who were at least 5 inches shorter than me. i get saying 'ya bro i'm like 6 foot' , but i mean if you are noticeably shorter just don't say anything

>>41240432
Can confirm, basically if any American is between 5'8" and 5'11" they claim to be 6', because when will they learn

>>41241694
Oh, for fuck's sake. Why do you Americans need to lie about your height so much?

>>41241694
hey as long as you believe it we're happy for you mane. truth is, there are about 5 countries in the world where 6' is average or below average, and the US isn't one of them. far from it. of course maybe there is a state/town/family where people are taller but that doesn't change the fact that the average height for ~20yo white american males is about 5'10". And that's fine. What's ridiculous is all of them claiming 6'1" based on someone they know who based their height on someone they know etc and so on until the OG fraud.

>>41241749

We are just more self-conscious, our society is more orientated toward physical attraction, our culture is more sexual than that of western Europe, we are generally more liberal, socially (ironically more conservative, politically)

>>41241725
I'm 5'8" and say I am 5'8". And I don't vie to wear platforms or even try to sneak an inch in there even though I'm 5'8" and change. This height thing is immature. As if anyone could help it.

>>41241534
what the fuck are you talking about, guy said his height in feet,inches, and fractions of an inch. a meter and .90 meter is a few inches in difference (1 meter is 39.37 inches, and 0.90 meters is 35.43 inches), at any rate anyone who isn't under the age of ten who uses fractions when stating their height or age is a tool. 'i'm 5;6 and 2 quarters of an inch , and i'll be 25 and a half in 3 weeks :D.'
kys

>>41241856
about the height thing I honestly feel like imperial (aka made up retardation) tends to create "categories" in peoples' mind, like 5'11" and 5'1 people get lumped together as being 5's. And unfortunately, 6', which sounds better, corellates with a height that's taller than most people, so you all have to lie. Whereas with metric, pretty much everyone is 1m*something* so there's not much of a mental gap between being 1m80 and 1m82.

>>41241957
That's why I said he's converting from metric which would be the reason he's using fractions since imperial is less precise. I'm just under 1.82m but I don't tell people I'm 6' because that's not true. I also don't say I'm 5'11 because I'm not. I'm 5'11.75". Which sound retarded in imperial, again, because imperial itself is retarded. I can understand not using fractions of centimeters but an inch is 2.5cm so not using fractions would lead to being wildly inaccurate.

>>41241889
Makes it kinda weird because when I'm honest about being 5'8 (measured barefoot and everything), I know that other 5'8 people just say whatever the hell they want, both online and irl. When I read someone's height online, I pretty much just assume they're adding 2 inches, but when I am truthful I know I'm basically kicking myself down a notch by comparison.

>>41240432
Why do men obsess over other men's height? Do you want to get fucked by a big dude? Are you that unremarkable in other areas that you need to cling to your height?

I never understand why straight men obsess over height. Shouldn't this be discussion for women?

>>41241823
>>41241749
I'm from the South and 6' 4 3/8", lads. Pretty much exactly 194cm. I'm taller than pretty much everyone, but most guys around here are still around 6'. Yankee states have the most Southern Europeans so that means more manlets.

>>41242061
then just say that you are 'shy of 6 feet' if someone asks your height in freedom units,saying 5'11.75 sounds like you have placed way too much thought and importance on your height, or lack thereof. i know a guy whos like 5'4 he just jokes that he married the first woman that was shorter than him, total bro and he doesn't give a fuck, which is way more appealing than 'i'm 5'4, but actually after i do i 'grow grow grow' stretches and wear my gravity boots in the morning i'm 5'6.0167, and when i am wearing my thick socks and big boy shoes i'm basically 6'1'

>>41240568
Can confirm. I'm a legit 6'3 and people think I'm 6'5

>>41242245
there's 6'5 guy in my gym, I always though that he was like 6'7 or 6'8 until I asked his height

>>41240432
6'2 cuck is clearly lying about his height

but yeah it's mostly autism surrounding desirable heights being close to a round number 6'0

I've stood next to people shorter than me who were claiming to be 6'1" etc. I know I'm 6'0" down to the millimeter

>6'0 in the morning
>5'11 in the evening
What am I supposed to say when people ask?

>>41242351
5'8

>>41240432
ive gotten that, but all around the world (including america) - always thought I was about 6'2"/6'3" but lots of people (mostly guys) would claim i was 6'4+ (because they thought they were 6'2")
actually measured for visa (machine that touches head; socks, not quite barefoot); turns out im 193 cm

>>41242351
both

192 cm (6'3.5") largest morning height measured, 188.5 cm (6'2.5") lowest evening height measured (after plenty of squatting etc.), rather hovering around 191-189.5 cm most of the time. I'm 190 if someone asks me irl (yuropoor), 6'3" on /fit/ and in america I could probably claim 6'5". I'm close to 6'5" in shoes anyway

>>41242351
evening height is your real height, so 5'11

>>41242596
But I don't want to be a manlet...

Last time my height was measured was in high school. I don't know if I'm 5'10 or 5'11.

I don't care because it literally doesn't matter. I've called myself both before.

Your average dick size is getting bigger becasue of the amount nigger/muslims you import white boi.

Idk man in any other country everyone measures their height properly. If someone says his height is like 1.75 when he is obviously shorter than that he'd get his shit called on. Yet I see burgers here who used to think they were 2 inches taller than their real height. It reeks of self-consciousness

no op,its not only american. I'm 182cm,and there's this guy in my chemistry class,who claims to be 184,but actually is shorter then me,and when he asked me about my height,he was like.
>wow anon,y u lyin,you're 187 at least.
there are many stupid people in the world,not only in burgerland, [spoiler]but most of them are there tho[/spoiler]

i have never in my life been in situation where people talk about their height

I'm 6'0.5" (have the same kind of scale used in the doctor's office) and every time I meet up with friends who I haven't seen in a while, someone says I must be 6'2" because they "know" they're 6'0". It's kinda a meme at this point. I wish us burgerlands didn't use retard units because then we wouldn't have this arbitrary cut off height that doesn't matter at all.

I am barely above average, stop fucking lying to yourselves

>>41243619
its just people on 4chan who its all they got so they obsessively talk about it.

This is so true.
Insecure manlets lying about their height has fucking completely skewed peoples perception of height.
Im 6'2 barefoot, and when I tell people im 6'2 they usually respond with "no way your like 6'4 maybe 6'5"

still claim 6'2. not gonna contribute to the manlets lying.
