im 5'11" and some change and would just say six if people asked and my brother got so mad when he found our I was shy of six as he thought I was taller. I like dude. im not memorizing whatever fraction is after five eleven. I guess I could say 5 eleven instead but that same laziness that does not want to remember some fraction also prefers to answer with one word.
Oddly, i had the same argument with my brother in law.
I'm 6'2", but I always say I'm around 6'1" or 6'2", so I don't blow up any 5'11"s cover. My BL who is very clearly 3-4" shorter than me tried to convince me that I'm 6'4", because he is exactly 6 foot. He got super upset, like red in the face, temper tantrum.
He isn’t named Donald, is he?
Nah, he was a Jamie. Thankfully no longer part of the fam.
im 5'10.5. i tell people im 5'10 cuz who the fuck cares. hell, it prolly wont be long til im 5'9
Yeah, there’s that too. At this point I’m old enough that only my kids report my former height and I try to stay out of it. I’m pretty sure I’m noticeably shorter. It doesn’t help that I’ve lost core muscle and have correspondingly worse posture so appear shorter
