    Right around 6 foot pretty much everyone lies.

    I’m legitimately 6’4 and when I was younger and going to bars/house parties all the time more than a few guys tried to fight me because they claimed to be over 6 feet tall but were clearly shorter than that.

    It wasn’t just that they were lying. They seemed to honestly believe they were over 6 foot and rationalized that I had to be like 6’8 and fucking with them.

    I think kids get told “you’ll be such and such tall” and then when they dont make it, it causes some really deep insecurities.

      Yep. I am 6’2 as of last doc’s measurement, and the amount of guys 4+ inches shorter than me who claim 6 feet is pretty hilarious. I never call anyone out though, just nod and smile.

    This is an amazing post.
    I once got to meet minotauro face to face and there’s no way he’s as tall as it’s said, he was much smaller than me (height wise, he seemed like twice my weight in pure muscle)
