question for 5'11' to 5'11.75''guys

Post Reply New Topic

do you tell people your 6 feet,or do you tell people your 5'11 something.
Im slighty under 6',yet,I always tell people Im 6 feet.

I don't round up because I care about accuracy with things & I think saying 6 would give the impression that I'm taller than I am; people think basketball player height when they hear someone's 6ft.

Liar!

I just say 6', due to meh. If someone is going to sweat me over a half inch or less then... whatever. Add shoes and hats and it becomes an imprecise concept anyway, IMO.

And, over the course of a day a person's spine will compress and change their height by 15mm, which is over half an inch. There's a story that a test pilot was too tall to be accepted into the space program, and so he stayed up all night jumping up and down to compress his spine before the doctor measured him, and it worked!

I tell people I'm 5' 11" if they ask.
