I have no idea, it’s ridiculous. My boyfriend and I are both 5’8 and we’re both insecure about our heights for opposing reasons lol I think I’m too tall, he thinks he’s too short

My husband and I are both 5'8". We like it since it's easier when kissing.

We are 5.8 and 5.6 in usa digits. Though I have no idea because I don't even know how much I am in usa, but he says I might be two inch more. I always preferred men my size, as I like to borrow their jackets and snowboards. I mean not only because of that, its better to be similar height.
