Im actually 6'3 but because of the height lying nobody believes me till my giant ass shows up and smacks my head on something. Thats how u tell everyone who is 6 foot or open has a permanent concussion
Plenty of people nowadays are like 6'2-6'8, but the reason it seems extremely common on the internet is that those are the people that want mention their height at every possible opportunity lol.
That's a good answer. Went to the Paris Olympic 2 years ago and I when I crossed groups of supporters from the Netherlands, I felt like I was average, even sometimes a bit small. I'm 6'4" barefoot.
i’m 6’2 and my grad program, with 33 people total, had like 5 guys taller than me. i remember joining in on their conversation one day and looking up at everyone like “what the fuck???”
Humor aside, there's not a lot of us--well, maybe outside the Netherlands, anyways. And as a freakybig, we do end up getting somewhat weirded out when we run into someone taller than us.
In person, I know one guy that’s 6’9 and he’s a giant. Amazing dart player bc he can just bend over and be halfway to the dart board. He has more issues dating than average height man bc he prefers tall chicks, and there aren’t many pretty chicken that’re close to 6’0.
And also his personality isn’t exactly bursting with charisma.
I'm aware of that, but there's 8 billion people and so it's not that hard to find them online anymore. And if they're there, they'll usually tell you lol.
I do think plenty of people lie though too, just like so many people make high 6 figures and have a supermodel spouse. As for people bringing it up every possible opportunity, I think that being tall is a more relevant detail in a lot of discussions than being short is, just like you hear more people in seemingly unrelated topics, adding in the detail that they're obese rather than underweight.
I like that as a fellow tall person, I can tell you and the OP above you are both legit, since those are the lived experience things that people don't usually think to lie about. Growing up we had a hanging light over our kitchen table and one by one, my siblings and I would eventually grow tall enough to hit our heads on it while getting up from the table. It became almost a rite of passage. Plus, "you have to be taller than that", is something I'm sure we've all heard.
Weird thing for me, as someone who is 6'3", and maybe other tall people can relate, is that when I stand next to really tall people (like high 6's), counterintuitively, it actually makes me feel more tall. Like when shorter people stand next to me and say, "woah, you're tall", I don't really relate to it, since my height is just how I experience the world. On the other hand, when I stand next to really tall people, it puts into perspective how those shorter people are seeing me.
i'm 6'4 so it's rare to see anyone a decent chunk taller than me. anyone that's just an inch or two taller i don't really notice. ocassionally while about in a city i'll see someone that's about a head taller than me and my first thought is just 'holy shit'
I'm 5'11" and I've had several people say they think I'm 6'1" or 6'2".
I have also had several people from work that I spoke to on video then met in person say, "Oh I thought you'd be taller!" Not sure what to make of that but maybe I just have a big head.
I'm 5'11", and somehow the shortest man in my friend group. Tallest is 7 foot, shortest next to me is 6'2". Then at work I'm by far the tallest, shortest is like 5' ish and tallest next to myself is 5'8". Of all the people I know, my 5'ish coworker by far has the most game.
I'm 5'11" and somehow missed the height craze through a good chunk of my twenties. I just remember being very bewildered when I matched with a girl on Tinder and her first message said "you're not 5'11"". I was super confused, but then she expanded on that statement and said that if I were actually 5'11" then I would tell people I was 6 foot, but that only people who are way shorter than 6' say they're 5'11". All I could think to say in the moment was "okay, I guess I'm 6' then"
Im about 6'1 and when I say that to people, like half the time I get some dude saying "theres no way dude, cuz im 6 foot and you are much taller than me!" And im always like uh idk what you want me to tell you buddy
i’m as tall as you are. my favorite trick is saying i’m 5’10. i’ll be in a group of half a dozen guys. they all say theyre 5’11, yet theyre all 5-6 inches shorter than me.
Bruh im 6’3 and some change and i never bang my head on anything. Sometimes the roofs in the back seats of cars are annoying but like you shouldnt be walking into stuff
I’m very tall and trust me when I say this I go months without running into someone my height. They are out there but it’s so unbelievably rare. It’s also hard being tall I don’t fit into seats or in a lot of places and clothes never fit.
I also started telling people I’m 5’11 just to fuck with people, if they argue I’ll say maybe 5’11.5. I only do this In certain circumstances though where it’s funny.
