5 years ago i was measured under a stadiometer at the doctors as being 172cm in height.

Is 172cm 5ft7 3/4 or is it more a full 5ft8? 5ft7 3/4 in exact cm is 172.1cm and 5ft8 is 172.7cm.

Your problem is not your height, your problem is your obsession with it.

What makes you relax?

Playing video games I guess. I don’t care about my height by the way.

I wish I could be 172 cm! I'm 164 cm.

Just stop harping about your height; you are not that short; you're average height.

I was just curious as to whether 172cm is more 5ft7 3/4 or 5ft8 from a mathematical point of view that’s all.

Again I don’t give a rats ass about being tall

It's 5 foot 7 3/4. At 5 foot 7 3/4, you can say you're 5 foot 8

I'm 5 foot 4 3/4, and often say that I'm 5 foot 5.

But the 1/4 inch under 5ft8 is important though :lol:

On a serious note I was measured on a wall tape measure at the gym at 171 1/2 cm I think that might translate to 5ft7 1/2. I am guessing wall tape measures are not as accurate as stadiometers you get at the doctors office.

Interestingly when I was measured on one of those laser measuring height machines you get at shopping malls I got to 5ft6 1/2 for my height.

Anybody who is actually 5 foot 7 3/4 will say he/she is 5 foot 8.

Those are not accurate. I guess I would have came out 5 foot 3 on one of those things.

Do you think gym wall tape measures are inaccurate as well? I am came out at 5ft7 1/2 when measured on those.

Measurements taken at the doctor's office are normally the most accurate.

I just did the math. The math translates 172 cm to "67 inches", or five foot seven.

But I just googled metric conversions, and it translated 172 cm to "five foot seven and......23/32! Lol!"

Seven and two thirds.

So you are closer five foot eight according to the later, more precise source.

But even so...it doesnt matter because...you're ugly, and your momma dresses you funny!

Just kidding.

Become a politician. Then you can take Viagra and grow in height.

Plenty of people are shorter than 172cm. Especially children, women, Asians, Latinos and et cetera. Not all of them are as obsessed with their height as you are

Short of leg lengthening surgery, there is nothing you can do about your height.

Leg lengthening surgery $$$$, energy and time.

You have written plenty of posts about your height. Writing posts won't make you any taller
