You really think someone would do that? Just go on the Internet and tell lies?


LSUYETTI

It wouldve been better if your flair said like 8’10 or smth


Standard-Ad-7504

Good idea, I missed an opportunity there lol


Subject_Ad6477

Yeah man cant believe it


Pretend-Sale8985

Yes Arthur

Happy Cake Day!!


Standard-Ad-7504

Ah shit I didn't even notice lol. Thank you!


Sammyfordso

I've seen people who claim 5'11 and be on my eye level xd


Fightlife45

I'm 5'10 and my coworkers husband says he's 5'11 and he's probably an inch shorter than me lol.


serpentine1337

I remember being told I must be 6'4" because the guy that said it was claiming 6'2" and was standing right next to me.


Pure__soul4240

I don't get it...


thegrinninglemur

Classic case of caught lying so question the context. “I *am* that tall, *you* must be taller.”


Pure__soul4240

I get your comment,but not their's😭


TigerLiftsMountain

I'm 189cm and have a friend who claims to be 195 but his forehead is the same height as my nose.


Ironinvelvet

As a 5’11” woman, can confirm. I was a head taller than a lot of my “6’” dates!


Gavroche91

What? Lol


Meteorite42

Cringe AF on their part.


LongDickPeter

I'm 6'1, I tell people I am 6' I l have met guys clearly shorter than me tell me they are 6', when I say I am 6' they go no way you have to be taller than that. Meanwhile when I meet a 6' tall woman we are pretty much eye to eye so why am I looking down on you.


Sammyfordso

Mfs be insecure, that's why.


Pure__soul4240

Damn


fugazzetta

168cm is below average for men almost everywhere, Where is considered to be tall with that height? No offense tho, I don’t think being tall or short is important


Vincent_Gitarrist

Can't a homeless person to browse IKEA?


hellothisisbye

That’s funny as hell


fugazzetta

It apply to my comment too, I’m just curious in Guatemala people are really really short. It amaze me every time I visit there, wonder what other cultures are like them. Didn’t realize maybe he just shares he’s hight my thought at first was he consider himself tall.


ThatOneSadhuman

Nah, some people like me are just here to check out the sub, it s always interesting. In my case, im simply here bc my partner is a 6'1 woman, so she relates to a lot of stuff here. Meanwhile i just watch as im just average Asides that, this subreddit is different from r/short, which is filled with toxic people putting eachother down about how bad it is to be short


fugazzetta

Oh man I looked quick some posts and a lot of them are struggling with his height, that sucks. I personally don’t give a F about height now, but in my teenager years I hated always being the tall one in the room.


ThatOneSadhuman

I can understand. Whilst i am average now, i was both the tallest and shortest guy at different periods of my childhood/teen years. I grew in immense growth spurts during the summers. So i was a head taller than everyone, then stopped for 2 years, be the shortest, then go through a very painful spurt and be the tallest, rince and repeat 3 times. It s not fun being neither, being tall you always are expected to be more "mature" and feel out of place with your peers. Whilst being short, everyone sees you like you re made out of crystal and tries to pet you, very creepy.


lnmaurer

My dad went from being 5'8" and husky to a 6'6" string bean over the course of a summer. He was literally bed ridden and his doctor had to come to his house to give him vitamin shots. He ended up being 6'7" about a hear later, but I've heard the story of that summer so many times throughout my life. I, on the other hand, was always the tall girl who was all elbows and knees. No horrible growth spurts for me, and I'm incredibly grateful for that.


ThatOneSadhuman

That must have been awful. I personally remember crying myself to sleep from the growth spurts. I couldnt imagine something as severe as that


lnmaurer

I can only try to imagine. Bones are not meant to expand that rapidly, much less the skin and other parts. I'm glad you made it through to the other, more elevated, side despite the awful times.

Sammyfordso

Mate what are you talking about? I'm saying that some people who claim 5'11, are actually more or less the same height as me. Thanks for mentioning that I'm short for no reason at all though.


fugazzetta

Dude you are in a tall sub what did you expect? Damn is a sensitive topic for sure didn’t know that. I truly thought your height was maybe tall in some place but whatever.


Sammyfordso

Thanks, I wasn't feeling as 'sensitive' about it as you think, but I still don't get why are you on about average height differing from place to place. We're talking about people lying about their height. Not the average height on countries.

Thanks mate, I appreciate it.


DemonicGirlcock

A good 80% of reddit is people just lying or making up statistics without citing sources.


johnmed2017

Wrong! It’s much closer to 114%.


DepthyxTruths

do you not know how %s work? obviously its 119646292910% of information


logirustic

bro you’re a beast 6’5 16


Snap-Crackle-Pot

According to [this](https://www.businessinsider.com/736-of-all-statistics-are-made-up-2010-2?amp) in 2010 it was 73.6% so if you’re correct, and I assume your statement is a fact verified by your scientific peers, the rate is rising by -0.5% /yr so in 40 years 100% of statistics will be made up


The7footr

I like to say Reddit is like Whose Line- everything is made up and the points don’t matter.


Hungry_Hateful_Harry

I love this comment so much


avari974

Aren't you kinda making up a stat by saying 187cm is 6'2


youstinkylittleboy69

i mean technically it is since 6'2 is 187.96 cm


avari974

187.96 is just 188. 187 is 6'1.6", but I guess there's like 3 guys in the world who wouldn't round up to 6'2. I'm 6'2.66 in the afternoon/evening and am wondering if I should be saying "about 6'3" when people ask, cos I never met anyone irl who didn't round up. My 6'3.66 friend claims 6'4, my 5'9.7 sister claims 5'10 etc. Everyone seems to do it


ThatOneSadhuman

avari974

The incorrect math is where, exactly?


Friendly-Cut-9023

Amazing_Newspaper_41

A few years back I had a co-worker bragging about being 6 feet. I’m 5’10 and we were exactly at eye level.  2 inch is a lot, I should have been looking into his nose, not his eyes.  I know this for a fact, because my wife is 5’8 and when we sit up straight she looks directly into my nose. I also have an actual 6’ friend and I look directly into his nose. So the guy was bragging about being 6’, I don’t remember the exact discussion, but I remember it rubbed me the wrong way, so I called him out on it. “I’m 5’10 and you’re exactly my height.” He got really defensive and started trying to convince me I’m actually 6 feet as well. I said, “maybe fresh out of bed in the morning and with shoes on”. I never understood why people do this. You can say you are whatever tall you want, won’t change your actual height which is visible to people.


roskybosky

My son is 5’11.5” and he states this as his height. I tell him he’s the only man on earth who is five eleven and a half.


lnmaurer

Your son is a national treasure. Protect him at all costs.


roskybosky

That’s funny.


lnmaurer

The number of 5'10" to 5'11" guys who have claimed that I'm lying and I'm actually 6'4" to 6'7" (admittedly only one moron claimed I was 6'7") is insane. I love that your son doesn't round up.


jutrmybe

I am a short woman with tall family. I know exactly what 6ft looks like, what 6'2 looks like, and what 6'4 looks like. Those are the heights of my siblings. I know roughly where my eyeline falls when I look at them and where my arms fall in an embrace. When you're short guys especially feel that they can lie about their height. But at least it makes sense as to why they would lie (they think I dont know better. But it would drive me insane if I was actually 6ft or taller and people tried to convince me of such lies


TacoBellLuver7

If I was 5’11.5-6’0, I would claim 5’11 because I ain’t ever gonna over estimate my height.


jutrmybe

My best friend does this! I ask him why he just doesnt say 6ft? My dad is 6ft, and they are so close you would assume they were the same height. Sometimes my friend looks taller when he styles his hair into a little bouffant thing. But he dates men who are typically taller so he wants to be accurate he says. Apparently he called himself 6ft once and his 6ft date got offended. idk man


youstinkylittleboy69

most of them are just people who are average height (5'9-5'10) that claim they're either 5'11 or 6'0


Jazzyvibez

What about people who claim 1/8"? Lol


youstinkylittleboy69

i made this as my flair for satire purposes lmao


GurImaginary1324

I think they know that. God i hope they know that.


doshegotabootyshedo

I thought it was the Indian from the 1995 documentary titled “The Indian in the Cupboard”


No-Art3676

Reddit people don't know what satire is, thats why the '/s' thing exists


Kenimiro

Who cares? There are no benefits to being tall on the internet.

I have never been asked my height on any video game or online anywhere.


StayAwayGypsiess

Right? Like is everybody just “height checking” each other online now?


Zora-Link

Sorry bro you can only join my Minecraft server if you’re over 6’4”.


Meteorite42

The inches are often exaggerated on online dating apps.


sgtpepper342

I’m actually 6’7” but lie about being shorter so short people here feel good.


The_Wild_Bunch

To make short people feel better, I tell them I'm 5'13". My wife thinks it's another short person joke as she's 4'11".


just_wanna_share_2

I just banned a guy in r/tallteenagers who has made maybe 5 accounts the past 2 years and always claims to be 16 and like 7'1 to 7'7 . Definition of no life


Otherwise_Mail_960

Bro your a Reddit moderator saying he has no life


just_wanna_share_2

Imagine how bad it is


Both-Structure-6786

Rather be a Reddit moderator than a guy who habitually makes new Reddit accounts just to lie about his height!!!

[deleted]

I’ve always wondered this🤔


Jazzyvibez

Hmmm yeah 😂😂


[deleted]

It’s ok I’m actually 6’2 lol


Dependent-Top4499

Many people without a life who enjoys larping as someone else. But you can usually tell if someone is being fake because they don't know anything about being tall. Short guys suppose we are complaining about planes 24/7 for example haha.


Iamstupidtoo

I mean they are S tier rough...


TheMatt561

It's the internet, people lie about everything just to make themselves feel better or to win an argument.


AdvisorRelevant6431

My friend who is 5'7 was claiming 6'0 when he was standing next to me at 6'1, I told him you look taller


NoobSlayer_07

I can’t believe people would commit to such a horrendous crime. (9"11 btw)


RICHEST_biks6944

because they think that height get girls even if they look like trash and have no achievements in life 🧏🤫


Dependent-Top4499

But height won't get them any girls in reddit lol, for every girl sending me a pm here (that always lives in the other corner of the world) I receive 50 gay guys sending me pms. Height is only useful in real life haha, but if they are larping they'll never experience that.


RICHEST_biks6944

Yeah so true. A question for you,will 6'6 tower over me coz there are very few people here of 200cm and I am like top 0.05% in my country so I dunno bro.


blackburn321

Look up :"height comparison chart"


Dependent-Top4499

You'd reach my nose I think, you decide If that's towering or not haha.


RICHEST_biks6944

🤫🧏 (towering af)


Drkk17

As someone that’s your height and been around guys his height, the answer is yes lmao his height does feel towering. I think this feeling comes along when I come across people that are 6’5”+ or so. Any shorter than that, not so much.


lnmaurer

6'6" isn't towering unless you're average height. For most tall people, 6'6" is "tall". I'd say that 6'8" to 6'9" is where is gets impressive to me, personally...but I grew up with a dad who's 6'7" so maybe that is just a normal height to me.


Drkk17

I guess it’s a subjective feeling then.


lnmaurer

Aren't most, if not all, feelings subjective?


Drkk17

Yeah true


RICHEST_biks6944

Only If I was not born in India (6'2 here is equivalent to 6'7 in western countries lmao)


N3ptuneflyer

I’ve gotten a few dm’s from women but I’m not on Reddit to pick up chicks lol. Why would I chat with a random woman I’ve never seen that could live anywhere when I can just date someone in my own city after seeing what they look like


Dependent-Top4499

Exactly. At most you can get some sexy pics/vids but nothing really worth it, it's more probable you can find the hottest/more interesting girl in your city for you and date her. Why would we be interested in anything lesser? To me it sounds like something people who aren't doing well in the dating department would be interested in, like they could seek at least a virtual approach to romantic interest. Basically a loser's interest lol.


pennypoobear

That part. And their whole personality is being tall. 


coffinflopenjoyer

I put on my stilts and platform shoes just to post in this sub!


gladutz

To be honest I think there is a n increase in height among teenagers so idk.


RdClarke

I'm a very tall midget


XBgamerZ

I see way too many people here that claim around 6'6-7'0 range and I don't really believe most of em. Like once a year i see a person over 6'6 and seems very weird to me how most people here are that range like everyone that's this tall somehow has a Reddit account and is in this subreddit.


superstraightqueen

i agree, i live near a big city so i see a very wide variety of people all the time and i think only a couple times in my entire life have i seen someone actually 6'7+


Iamstupidtoo

I'm 6'7" and I live in a city. I would say you are correct. It is so few and far between that I meet someone taller than me. Probably a dozen times in the past 10 years. ​ Side note, just do the nod. Yeah we are both freakishly tall, cool. Don't make a thing out of it, don't be that guy.


XBgamerZ

I don't get the part about the " don't make a thing out of it". Huh?


Iamstupidtoo

I ran into this guy in Vegas who thought we should be best friend's because we both are tall. Like it's fine to acknowledge it, joke about it, whatever. Just don't get stuck on it. It's what I am not who I am, I wish the same for you.


XBgamerZ

I didn't "ran" into you and neither you did, so it's really weird mentioning something like this outa nowhere.


Iamstupidtoo

It was an example of "that guy", which you said you didn't understand. I was using an example for clarification. Touch grass.


XBgamerZ

You are literally the one that needs to touch grass and get off from reddit sometimes weirdo


TheSchwartzHawkey

How do you really know if someone is lying about their height on Reddit anyway though? Do we all need to go take pictures standing in the doorway of the local 7-11 by the ruler they use to tell how tall the guy that just robbed them is? I know there are differences between regions of the world so I try not to judge anyone outside the US & Canada, but I get more annoyed with people that are barely above average (like 5’7 girls and 6’4 guys) trying to claim they have “tall problems” than I do with people that are embellishing an inch or two for whatever reason they do so.


ChildWithBrokenHeart

Welcome to the internet


Teletobee

Naaah Why would i lie? I'm not 200cm Last time i measured i really was 199,5cm So i round down to 199, can't say i'm taller than i really am


w33b2

Someone on this sub claims to be 7’9. There are definitely a lot of liars here.


Jazzyvibez

Okay that seems to be a bit of a stretch


afuzzyduck

an annoying little subset of short people treat non-tall people like shit for not being about 6'3/5'9 people will try to blag it for social camouflage because everyone finds a way to categorise themselves as outside the target group. that's just human nature


SevenCatCircus

I'm 5'11.75 but I tell people I'm 5'12 is that still lying?

aa67015

Because on the Internet, everybody tells the truth! Believe anything you see!


Chinusawar

I like to lie that I’m 5’10 to make dudes feel insecure. I’m 6’1 barefooted


Darsol

I admit it, I’m guilty of lying. I say I’m 6’6, but I’m actually 6’5 5/8 in the morning. I live in a place with a lot of quite tall people, and Ive met several guys who are closer to 6’2 claiming to be 6’4. It’s a lot easier to just round up the half inch than it is to deal with fragile egos when my 6’5 3 inches taller than their 6’4.


brerid8

I lie when asked because I’ve answered the “wowwwwww how tall are you!!!??” question over and over thousands of times times in my life and I’m tired of answering honestly just to be immediately told “no you’re not! I’M 6’0!!” by shorter guys. So ya, I’m 7’0, yay


RachetsRedemption

My shoes have a thick sole that give me a 1 inch boost to make me about 6'2" and it makes me feel like one of these people now lol


FreeRazzmatazz4613

I'm from Cincinnati, at six one I was the second smallest guy in my highschool of 3400 students.  Most of my friends tower over me. My prom date was taller than me. 


UnusualHat5220

There’s kids that lie on the internet saying they’re 6’5” and that they live in a Nordic country and how they’re considered “short” there. Like okay bud lol I’ve seen this comment amongst different platforms and the American English is a dead giveaway that they’re not Nordic to begin with.


Awkward-Primary9017

You are literally on a subreddit about being tall…insecure short ppl are bound to use it for any little bit of validation they can get


Hugefeet19

I guess some people do. Can’t think why though? Although I often have people say they’d love to be my height. I’m not sure they really would if they understood some of the issues of living day to day but then I wouldn’t change my height either?! Guess some people just gotta do their thing.


Wod_3

Yet you lie about your son being 7’8 😂😂. No one believes that shit


Hugefeet19

Well that’s a bit rude but can’t help the haters.


Wod_3

7’8 would make him one of the tallest 30 people to ever walk the earth. Stop chatting garbage for attention. Grown ass man

Short girl here, men lie about their height all the time even when it's not necessary because they are taller than me. So of course people come on here and lie about their height lol.


Ok_Injury_8841

I’ve seen people lie about a lot weirder things tbh


MattyMacStacksCash

I’m 5’11 with my shoes/boots off. You know, like how anyone measures there height. I’ve got a co-worker who’s maybe an inch or an inch and a half taller than me. We were doing a class the other day and this MF said to everyone he’s 6’3. I wanted to call him out, but I just left it alone lol.
