Most people blantantly lie about their height.

Edit Post

Why are you here you are 6'1 lol.

I'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.

It'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".

u can do that only if u're around 5'7 or 6'2, if u're 6'0 it becomes harder

6'0 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!

it 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.
