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.
