Has anyone noticed that if you ask a lot of guys their height they'll say their 6'0" when in actuality they're like 5'8" or 5'9" at best? Also I talk to guys who are like 5'2 or 5'3" claiming they are 5'7. I think it's ridiculous, it's like if your gonna exaggerate your height at least make it something believable.
Quote from: KiloKAHN on November 25, 2014, 11:53:58 PMI don't know many who lie an extreme amount. At most it's a 2 inch difference.
My old roomate claimed he was 6'1" when I was at least 3" if not more taller than him.
A co-worker told me he was 6'0" and I told him there was no way he was that tall cause he would be close to me in height and that he was 5'9" at best. I guess people figured to go all out until someone calls them on it.
Quote from: ReadRothbard on November 26, 2014, 01:38:16 AMHere's what I don't get; my sitting height is about 4 cm greater than your's, but you are 16 cm taller than me. It's weird how nature works...
Yeah but it doesn't bother me. I'm only aiming to be 6'2.5-6'4". I may do 4cm on my tibias and 4cm on my femurs which would put me at a finger nail above 6'4".
Quote from: TheRisingShorty on November 26, 2014, 02:21:21 AMMaybe people who claim to be taller have never measured their height. That was my case several years ago during my high school days. I thought I was 167cm and claimed to be 5'6 but when I actually measured my height several years later I turned out to be 162cm.
It would be alright if you claim to be 2-3cm taller than your original height since you will be wearing shoes which adds several cm.
Ouch that's gotta hurt. You have to use a scale in the doctors office. You can't go to 7-11 or put a pencil on your head because that ads an inch to your height. I guess everytime my parents measured me as a child I was actually 1" shorter!
Quote from: Joel on November 28, 2014, 07:47:34 PMI'm 5'6 ish and I say 5'7 because in shoes I am 5'7 pretty much not hard to lie. The only difference is that most guys who are 5'7 who have perfect proportions look a lot taller so that's what people think about I feel.
I'm actually fine with people exaggerating their height but I can't help but say something if they say they are 6'0" when they look 5'9" at best. In an online dating article I read on building your profile, they said its not okay to lie but it's okay to add an inch to your actual height.
Quote from: Uppland on November 29, 2014, 07:56:50 AMIt's really hard to estemimate people height I'm never sure if the tall guy in front of me is 185 or 190.
Using inches is easier than Metric. But I look at their shoes and think of 3 heights they could possibly be and most the time they're at the end or a 1/2" higher from what I estimate. I think the most you could get away with is 2".
Quote from: mrtall on December 03, 2014, 08:54:23 AM6'0 always looks really tall to me because every 5'10-5'11 guy rounds up.
I can always tell 6'2 because people don't lie and also, it is noticeably tall but is not imposing.
When I see people my own height I can never believe that I am the same!
Yeah. I'd say by the time your 6'2", most guys usually stop exaggerating. I was just 1" shy of the height exaggeration cut off!
Quote from: endomorphisme on December 07, 2014, 11:08:05 PMit seems people who use the imperial system lie more than the ones who use the metric system.
I'm not used to asking people's height, but i heard some frriends claiming their height
175-178 cm claim 180 cm
180 cm claim 182 cm
in fact people tend to round up their height while in the us they just add 2 inches to their height lol.
According to some studies, men inflate their height by 2 cm
I've met foreigners who exaggerate. But I'd say most people in USA will claim 6'0" whether they are close to it or not. And if they're short, they'll say their the closest short height which is socially acceptable.

Nah....I wanna extent my legs 6 cm because Yeaaaah thats just who i am you knooow. Cant walk around taller than 80% of males and 100% of women. Which has been studied as the best height for a man by women. nooo cant go for that.
Why?
I just cant alriiiight i got thing called height neurosiss riiight. Its like this mega tall guy standing next to me and im ONLY COMING UP TO HIS NOSE I mean how am im supposed to coooopee. Like if my head is not above his eye vision i cant exist like no other feature matters to me like only height because i base my entire worth on height like why live if you cant like be taller than tall people right?
haha i cant even begin to imagine. haha please start a diary and show pictures of you already towering over everybody dr. and nurse. And then after the surgery you are towering even more so your head dont fit the picture. Mission accomplished.
Come at me you wuss
I do my best to pretend you don't exist but of you'll help me get a girlfriend I just might give you a chance. I go to the gym and dress fine. Just go to Nordstrom and copy the mannequins can't go wrong there. I've approached women at bars but most turned me down honestly because I'm into Mexican women mostly and you never see a fine Mexican woman with a caucasian male for whatever reason. They'll be with Mexican guys then Black men. I don't see many women I'm interested in when I go out in the big wide world but when I do I approach the ones I like, we have a good talk she gives me her number and I call or text and it ends there. It's a pain in the ass to get a woman out of the door and on a date. I've fked a few girls in my life. About 2 9s or 10d and the rest were about 6s or 7s but never had a girlfriend. My sister would tell me that women wouldn't be interested in me when we were kids and to not go for really attractive women but I should be able to get one. The only reason that I could think of why I can't get one is I live with family and only make about 20-30k per year after taxes.
