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.
I don't know many who lie an extreme amount. At most it's a 2 inch difference.

I'm 5'6.7"; can I say I'm 5'7?

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.
Here'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".

You may just have a real fat ass! That might not be nature. Maybe too many trips to the buffet! 
Almost everyone lies by 2 inches or so, almost no one is spot on. But The examples you gave are pretty extreme.
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!
Maybe, but I doubt it. I can clearly feel my pelvic bone touching the seat when I sit down.
