Why do so many people lie about their height?

No idea. I have friends who are clearly below 5ft10 claiming to be that height all of the time. Pretty hilarious because whenever I tell people my height (5ft11ish) they don't believe me and think i'm 6ft.

On a side note, what measurements do you faggots go by anyway?

>5ft11.5 in the mornings
>Just a smidgen under 5ft11 at night after a workout

Do I just say 5ft11? I'm well above 5ft10 even at night time but I don't want to be that faggot who's adding .5 to his height whenever asked.

Because it's just something everyone is naturally insecure about at some point unless you're over 6'. And even tall people will lie about it. I remember my exs friend had a boyfriend that was supposedly 6'8", and when I met him in person he was like an inch or two shorter than me being 6'4".

>Be me
>5'10.5 aka roughly 179 cm
>Guy who is clearly shorter than me (roughly 5'8 I'm guessing) mentions height
>Says he's 5'10
>I respond saying, that's not true as it would mean I'm only half an inch taller than him
>He says I should probably remeasure myself and that I'm probably closer to 6'0
>Say I measured myself yesterday (for the lulz)
>He REEs

I'm literally 6'3 but girls think I'm taller because everyone likes to say 6'3.
I guess thats just the magic number.
Being tall used to make me super insecure when I was a young lanklet but then I got fit

>>42561142
>Be me
>5'6 or 7
>Taller than my father, mother, and everyone else in my short family (aside from my one grandfather, who was like 6'2")
>Tfw I'll never be taller than 5'8" so I have to rationalize why being short is okay

I have legroom on airplanes but I can also reach the top cupboards, I'm a good situational height.

Similar feels being 5'9. Every fucking 5'7/5'8 fag will round up to 5'9

>>42561142
i don't. i'm always tell the truth. i'm a proud 5'8 even though it hurts on the inside when i'm almost always the shortest wherever i go. what's the point of lying?

I'm just insecure about it but I try not to stretch the truth. I'm 5'7 but I round up to 5'8 just to feel better about myself

>be 5' 11"
>put 6' on coffee meets bagel

Its kind of like dick size where people don't really know but like to claim big numbers especially girls. My license says 510 even though I 5'8 and everyone thinks I'm taller than I am when I tell them.

i'm 5'7⅜"
should i say i'm 5'7" or 5'8"?

>being under 6'
Lmaoing at all these manlets posting their height

>>42562160

is there even a difference at this point?

>caring about height
I dont get the insecurity. Its not something that can be worked on.

I'm a completely shameless 5'6 and idgaf. Fags at my height seem to super often say they're 5'7 or 5'8, and i don't get it. like bro, we're short, get over it. Nothing will make you not short. Even shit like combat boots are super apparent.

>be me
>also 5'6
>never lie about it because not an insecure teenager
>guys who are clearly the same height as I am claim they're 5'8
It's hilarious when I BTFO them saying I'm 5'6. No shits given because I'm more muscular than most normalfags anyways.

Many people are dumb.

>>42562653
Doesn't matter. Nobody cares about manlets' heights>>42562668

my bf is 6'2 and still lies about being 6'4

>>42562653
Whoops. Didnt meant the second tag

>>42562653
5'7. You're 3/8ths of an inch, not even 1/2, so rounding up is doubly pathetic for you.

I lie about my height because I always say my tallest measured height, which I am not during most of the day.

>>42561165
Say what you are at your shortest. I'm 73.5" in the am and shrink to 73 flat at night. I say I'm 6 1 in case some faggot breaks out a tape measure.

I'm 5'9 and love telling people I'm 5'7, especially around people who actually are around 5'7

>>42561142
Because this place is populated mostly by americans so even though im taller than 95% of girls and about 75 of males around me Im not expecting burgers to understand that height has a different importance and different values in different places.
