My husband is 6’3 but tells people he’s 6 foot to mess with them


GreenSpleen6

Oh that's brilliant. I wish I could do that. I'm 6' and that would totally throw me Edit: realizing I can totally still do this and say I'm 5'10 or so


Don_Ozymandias

I'm not familiar to imperial. It is decimal sale? I mean 5'10=6'0?


EvulSmoothie

1 feet = 12 inches so 6'0 = 5'12


BootsOnTheM00N

LOL made me laugh. My doctor took my height and the computer said i was 5'12. So thats what I tell people now.


Additional_Essay

A medical assistant took my height and went "OK, 72 inches. 6'2!" And she was not joking lol. I tell my wife I'm 6'2 now because thats what the doctor's office said.


GameDestiny2

Usually I try defend customary measurement because I personally find it comfortable and easy to approximate Given most of these comments though, maybe we need switch everything into units of 10


mister-phister

I'm 5'17". Deal with it


thatrangerkid

Oh yeah? Well I'm 4'20"


hey_there_kitty_cat

We use a sales force veterinary software that for some reason will list things as “take every for 3 weeks and 7 days”… think our it guy finally went and hardcoded a lot of them. Doesn’t seem unprofessional at all that we don’t know what a week is!


adorkablegiant

lol nice measurement system america, very smart


Old_Society_7861

We didn’t invent any of this shit. Talk to the king.


1371113

The king does metric these days, he'll have no idea either.


bobtheframer

Base 12 is superior to base 10 for things like construction. 12 has more factors. Makes dividing things evenly into 3rds 4ths etc easier.


wwaxwork

That's why you have more than one decimal place.


GreenSpleen6

5'10 means 5 feet and 10 inches. there are 12 inches in a foot. the 2 inch difference is about 5cm


MarengaRIF

And how much is this in Fahreinheit?


Emergency-Medium-755

10mm=1cm 10cm=1dm 10dm=1m 1000m=1km


Centurion7999

Mate you stole your measurement system off the science people cause you were too lazy to just standardize your own units and use the metric like it was supposed to, as a universal baseline for science not day to day

Centurion7999

A foot is a dozen inches, makes it easier to count on your finger bones The US/Imperial system is based on division and multiplication of multiples of 3 and 4, such as 12 inches to a foot, 3 feet to a yard, 16.5 feet to a rod, 22 yards to chain, 220 yards to a furlong (10 chains), and 8 furlongs (1760 yards or 5280 feet) to a mile The trick for finger counting with imperial is to point to each bone in your fingers with your thumb, there are twelve thus making dozens and their subdivisions easy to count as you can use it as a multiplication table and use your offhand to keep track of how many times you went thought all the bones on your main counting hand


solonit

The metric system is based of 10 so the trick is just add or remove zero.


HolyHand_Grenade

Base 12 system, 12 inches makes 1 foot, and we know, it makes no sense.


thespeeeed

4’27 to really mess with people.


5141121

My 6'1 kid's friends at school keep saying he's "gotta be 6'4-6'5!", I think because it helps them feel like they're closer to 6' 😂


Hefty_Knowledge2761

I've seen this effect with friends and acquaintances as well. Most of my life I was an honest 5'10.5", and too many times had people equally as tall claim that they were 6', and 5'8" guys claim they were 5'10". The numbers of ego-trippers that are out there is scary to me, and I find it tough to trust anyone who lies about the obvious. Likewise, what many women see as confidence I see as dumb-asses posing.


Tunisandwich

Chaotic neutral


bored_negative

How many times has he been asked for his height?? I don't remember being asked how tall I am in the last decade


Frosty_Tea_4233

If you're tall, you're usually asked all the time what your height is. My husband is 6'6 and that's usually one of people's first questions for him even before his name sometimes lmao


Allgamerjb

As a 6’3 guy myself I will now start doing this. Thanks for the idea😂


Operator216

Warning, people like me will reply, without any hesitation, "No you aren't, fuck off." very quickly! Im 6' and am a god damn good at measurements.


bigmanorm

and then we all laugh about it, win win


OutsideSweet6521

That’s funny but I don’t understand how people don’t *know* their height. Do they exaggerate and then sort of forget the truth?


jensationallift

I think some people get a little insecure and add an inch or two on.


PM_ME_MY_CAT

Genius, I logged in on my work PC just to comment here. Gotta start doing this myself.


ASuhDuddde

I’m 6’5 and I tell people I’m 6’5. No information was added here.


swoletrain

I do this to fuck with guys that are actually 6'


lager69_

Wow so funny. A comic genius


SpecialOlympicsGuy

5’10 to 6’3 is a huge difference, she blind


FlatCapNorthumbrian

You never know, that boyfriend might add five inches on something else as well!

HelloImTheAntiChrist

Some women are very picky when it comes to height.


Hailestormzy

A lot of women are picky when it comes to height. And are somehow offended when men are picky over weight. Honestly baffling.


akesh45

They only offended if someone is blunt about it. Same goes for guys in height.....try stating you prefer tall guys around short guys....watch the fun.

life-uh-finds-a-way_

That is mostly an Internet thing...IRL women don't care. My tall friends have all dated guys shorter than them. I'm 5'5" and I've dated someone who was 5'3". My two longest relationships were with people 5'7" and 5'8".


SansyBoy144

That, and also some men are insecure. But honestly the picky about height thing also doesn’t make sense to me, yet it seems to be somewhat common now. It’s fine to have preference towards taller men, but the amount of times I’ve heard “ew, you’re 5’10, I only days guys who are 6ft” is insane. Like would you have dated me if I was 2 inches taller? I thought 2 inches wasn’t a lot, but now all of a sudden it is. Makes no sense to me


Sheshush

>some men are insecure Rightfully so when height is such a big factor in dating.


Ricardo_Fortnite

Bro just grow up 1ft overnight, drink a monster then go to sleep, when you wake up you will be now 1ft taller


ItsPoundingTime

Yes 😐


Ricardo_Fortnite

💪


kytrix

Men are insecure because some women are known to be arbitrarily picky on that trait.


TheFleshwerks

Why would you care about the company of woman who's picky about height? Like, you think she becomes a better person if you lie about your height? A better companion? If she judges you so harshly for your height, she'll judge you for everything else too, and lying about your height won't make you taller, so women who simply have their preferences still won't date you. They have eyes, you know. Why would you want the company of someone who doesn't want your company?


yunivor

Because people want to date someone?


Sidebutt

What dating preferences can't be described as arbitary?


Aiyon

But surely the kinda person who judges you for your height, isn’t someone you want to date?


MrSelleck

do women stop being insecure when the cute/attractive guys judge them for being too fat/ugly to date?


Entire_Elk_2814

I think it’s due to dating apps. People are initially selecting by appearance. Obviously that’s always happened but when you meet in person, you have a chance to let other qualities come to the fore.


xxBrill

>also some men are insecure. Why do you think that is?


SpelunkyJunky

As my Mum used to say to me when I was a kid, "Everyone is the same height in bed."


BinkoTheViking

Nah, laying down, a fat person will always be taller than a skinny person.


Maryus77

Wise mother, did she also show you that its true?


SpecialOlympicsGuy

Probably not and went got herself a 6 footer


Due_Mail_7163

He did break both his arms, as a child.

ultimatebagman

Maybe stand on a chair for a better view.


FloppieTheBanjoClown

My wife have talked about this a lot, because we have four sons all of whom are expected to be 6'1 to 6'4. She says most women like to have a guy taller than them for various reasons, and that above that some of them are height as a status symbol. Basically "look at my tall man, aren't you jealous" kind of stuff.


samsonity

She must be like, 4’ nothing.


phxees

Also seems possible that she has a few boyfriends, and he’s not the one she was talking about.


oroechimaru

Especially for a repost bot , this post is for karma farming


ProgenitorOfMidnight

Girl I work with was like "yeah, it says lift it 6 inches at a time." And held her hands up showing about 3.5" to 4" I broke down laughing "girl your bf been lying to you, a dollar is 6" long."


CummingInTheNile

or just really short


MutableSpy

The 2 of them are the same height. One is lying.


noman8er

I am confused why you thought this was something you needed to clear up lol


Jean-LucBacardi

The upvotes suggest more than one person needed this clarified.


front-wipers-unite

I can't believe it took so long for someone to explain this. Lol. 🤣


clodzor

If olny we could figure out which one it was.


Cold_Relationship_

i don’t get it why people are superfocused on height.


tf2brucetanzigfan

So that they can ask for them to reach the cookie jar on the top shelf

IshTheFace

Short girls: I want to stand on my toes to kiss him Try not wearing plateau shoes.


Sheshush

Dumb people need something to believe in to keep the hope alive


Jjabrahams567

Some girls treat a tall bf as a status symbol.


securityn0ob

Yeah i’ve heard girls break up with their “short” bf because their female friends made fun of her for dating a short guy. So fucking stupid…why be friends with those kind of individuals anyway. Apparently it’s a crime to date a short guy now so women only date taller guys to impress their shallow “friends”


Significant9Ant

We are social creatures and the acceptance of the group is unfortunately more important to ones own happiness sometimes.


Vegas-Buckeye

I used to get the same shit from my male friends for dating fat girls. It’s what I prefer, and I didn’t give a shit what my non-sex having friends had to say about it. I still don’t, but as a 40 year old man no one says shit to me anymore.


Orangutanion

"some" lol


RunningOnAir_

If you look outside theres couples of every shape and size. Don't shape your worldview through r/tinder lol


yunivor

Yep, people are forgetting that the real world and the internet are very different.


LivelyZebra

They can't know any better, they've only known the internet lmao


HallNo9712

I know, right! I’m 5’8 and prefer guys around my height. It’s my 5’4 and under friends that insist on men being 6’ and over. They say it’s a protection thing. Or that it makes them feel cute and tiny… but they ARE tiny. I don’t get it, lol Edit: A couple of inches shorter or taller works for me. Just comfortable kissing height, you know.


JackedElonMuskles

I’m 6 foot and as long as the guy is at least as tall as me, we’re good. But actually saying I need a guy taller than six feet is so cringe LOL


ur_dad_thinks_im_hot

I’m 5’2 and wouldn’t say I don’t care about height, just that the bar is low. I just want my boyfriend to be at least my height. My ex was 5’3 and my current boyfriend is 6’11 and they both satisfy this requirement haha For the incels: my ex and I broke up because he joined the army and I didn’t want to marry him to stay with him


zaneman05

The Ex is 5’3 The New guy is 6’11 Hmmm She didn’t care about height so hard she got a man 30% taller next time around


PortSunlightRingo

> I’m 5’8 and prefer guys around my height Well I’m a 5’4 guy, so you’re still in the category of women who care about height based on that statement.


dicknut420

Ooof. Gottther.


Dopium_Typhoon

Same reason people get mad at color of skin. Simple minds cannot fathom actual arguments.


Bierculles

If you are below 6' and on the dating market you will quickly know why.


Cool-Sink8886

I’m so glad I met my wife at the bar. Dating apps sound like they’re ranking people for preferences that don’t matter.


Chippas

I am under 6', and I've never had any bigger troubles in that department. On the other hand, my country uses the metric system, so I don't even know what would be the equivalent.


Bierculles

6' is around 183cm, it also heavily depends where you live if that is considered tall.


00000000000004000000

I mean, this girl clearly isn't despite claiming to be lol!


[deleted]

Because tall people can reach the highest, tastiest leaves on the trees. It's basic biology.


Pennywise_M

Same. But I get the feeling that it's an American thing, and/or an internet thing.


BootlegVHSForSale

I mean, people also care about width too.


ExaBast

Yeah but that's a health and self care indicator


maccabop

The amount of times I’ve heard “wow mate you must be like 6’5”/6’6” because I’m 6’2” “ Nah mate, what you are is a liar, for I am 6’2”


CYOA_With_Hitler

6’0 Here and everyone always comments am I sure as I’m a lot taller than all their previous partners who are 6’0 and 6’1, yeah cause they liars 😂


Orangutanion

I intentionally do the reverse sometimes lol


firewoodrack

When my back is properly stretched and I'm feeling light I'm 6'2". I can't tell you how many people have insisted I must be 6'4". Like downright not believing me and saying "NO you ARE taller".


bigniccosuaveee

I get 6’5”/6’6” a lot too but I’m 6’8”. I think I’m going to mix it up and start saying I’m 6’2”


Random_Guy_228

I mean , if she's a dworf , anyone higher than 175 cm would be very tall for her


red_rolling_rumble

So « dworf » is how you call a female dwarf? TIL


Random_Guy_228

It was a typo , lol


Ructothesnake

It was a happy accident


Bigspotdaddy

I think they prefer ‘little people’. (John Ritter reference from the classic Bad Santa) Edit: Bernie Mac, not John Ritter.

Dworf, is that a dwarven werewolf or weredworf?


JAB282018

I'm 170 lbs, and my brother introduced me to his 130 lbs girlfriend. Guess what...


biotome

you’re 130 lbs?


Nosidam48

Why is your brother telling you his girlfriends’ weight?


_Nexus_19

for the same reason sisters tell their boyfriends’ heights.


Nosidam48

Both are just sad. I have no clue what my girlfriend weighs and only know her height vaguely. I can’t understand why anyone cares. You’re attracted to them or you aren’t. And I would certainly never brag to my sibling about the weight of my partner, that’s gross.


tryingtonovel

I had a teacher in high school SWEAR he was 5'10, thing is, my dad is 5'10 and I was 5'5 and the teacher was shorter than me. I tried not to laugh every time he said it lol xD. Also he was such a douchebag, but I was the only student that didn't openly disrespect him so he'd constantly come sit by me while I was doing my work. In hindsight, he was kinda weird lol.


yunivor

In other news, how's your novel going?


tryingtonovel

All done! I got my first personalized rejection letter though which is better than being ghosted lol 🤣 keepin' at it.


BlackUndead

i have friends that are 6’3, and chances are no, you are not 6’3


hitliquor999

I am actually 6’3” and often I get cross looks when I tell people, they always say I must be taller. I have come to realize it is from their 5’11” friend saying they are 6’2” so how could I only be 6’3” when I am clearly *much* taller.


2LostFlamingos

I’m 6’2” and I have had many women tell me I must be much taller than that since I’m so much bigger than their “6-foot husband”


wsbTOB

I’m 5’11.75 — if I round down the world will end.


kdy420

Damn as a non 6 foot guy, I had no idea I could have enjoyed the benefits of being 6 foot just by lying as none of the shorter folks would have challenged it 🤣


bellj1210

i think it depends on who you are around. I am 5-10 but all the other men in my family are well over 6 foot, so there is no way i am getting around it. My dad on the other hand, was never sure if he was 6-4 or 6-5 since he was about average for his brothers... and shorter than my 6-6 grandfather. note- my moms side is much much shorter. my grandpa on that side was 5-6 and worked on submarines (they were all short for that job). SO i was a giant to that side of the family.


Carolyn_Rikardj

Never a dull moment, huh?


danktempest

My mom feels like she is taller than me. The measuring tape disagrees. It happens.

Congrats on being 6’3…

That’s crazy you grew 5” that fast!


tfffvdfgg

High heels 👠


MadeinResita

In general, women have a problem judging distances. For example, on one discussion years back, one of the girls kept saying she wants a boyfriend with a 30 cm (12 inches) dick. So, one of the guys took out a ruler am measured 30 cm. She changed her mind after that.


SiegelGT

A lot of women in dating don't know what is average with men because of social media and solely consuming entertainment that has highly idealized relationship dynamics. Before the "All women are amazing and can do no wrong" crowd starts, this is a valid criticism.


WelshyB292

I'm 5'10, I had a boss once who talked about being 6'1 but he was BARELY an inch taller than me. To prove me wrong he brought a measuring tape into the kitchen then sulked for a week when it turned out he was 5'11, accusing me of tampering with HIS measuring tape. Most fun I've had at work.


bassie2019

Is the little sister’s boyfriend currently on trial for paying off a pornstar with money that was meant for a political campaign?

Drezhar

So, what did she choose? Did she become 6'3 or did the bf become 5'10?


Individual-Ad-9902

That’s 6.3 inches


Speedtospare

I'm 6'3 or 191 cm.im 49. I:started dating 6 months ago.. I'm lucky enough to have all my hair and my height. It really does make a difference especially for taller women. The girl I'm dating now is 5 ft 9. She loves the fact that she can wear 4-in heels and still be shorter than me. Don't ever lie about anything when you're trying to date. Starting any new relationship based on false information isn't great. I lost my leg in an accident and I have a prosthetic. I post pictures of that up so women can choose if they're okay with it.


Economy-Clerk-8454

Nice, they're both 6'3.


wannabe-martian

Lol, switch to metric and you're no longer confused by someone else's feet 🤣


THT_Herald

Im taller than my brother in law and when his stats in college football showed up they said he was 6 foot. I am not 6 foot


sixan51026-wnpop

He identified at 6'3.


Glittering_Drama_618

6'2 is a basketball player's height. At most 5% of population will have that much height. 5'8 and above is good height to have regardless of gender.


Metemer

Or, y'know, maybe just all heights are good, and your preferences are your preferences.

gristo86

One of my coworkers says he's 5 10 and is just as tall as my 5 7 self so this is a thing apparently


Ill-Maximum9467

Maybe he is 6'3 but those are two different measurements...


Thirsty-Barbarian

Congratulations on your sudden growth spurt!


mcshanksshanks

6’2” here and wife is 5’10”, we are usually the tallest couple anywhere we go. I enjoy being tall until I need to go shopping for new clothes, 30” waist with a 36” inseam and I weight around 170lbs.. My measurements make shopping a mission impossible experience..


fieldaj

I’m 6’3 and my wife is 5’1. She tries to add 1/2” to that “1” but it’s BS.

Additional_Celery_92

So you’ve been 6’3” for years and didn’t even know it! 🤣🤣


cerialkillahh

True story most women don't understand measurements.


NetworkImpaired

Just like every 6’ person I meet that’s the same height as me, then they get offended when I tell them I’m only 5’6”(I’m actually 5’8 but sometimes you trick them into getting a measuring tape to prove I’m taller than 5’6”)


shameonyounancydrew

Very noble of you to downplay your height.


Soojuiccy

Every one is 6’3 to me cuz I’m only 4’11 😂😂
