Current Events > CE, how tall are you? Do you lie about your height online?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Are you being like, super serious when you answer this topic?

5'10" apparently. Used to think I was 6'0", but was glad to know I'd somehow lost 2 inches

I'm glad I never have to know what it's like to be concerned about measurements. 6'3 here.

Also why is CE so tall? Like half the guys here are in the 6'+ club.

I lie about my height all the time. I say that I am 6'1" but I am actually 6'3/4". I just round up for that last quarter inch.

62 and thats a legit military and dr measured height barefoot. Im at my drs every 3 months. I know everyone online claims to be above 6ft but I really am. No need to lie. Besides the entire average for men in my state is like 511. Its really not that far above average.

Also a LOT of people my age in my Gen X group have said they have lost height since they were 18. I know this is a legitimate thing with age but Im surprised at the total number who it has already happened to in their 40s and 50s.

Im 48 and still my full 62 I was at 17.

i used to be about 5'10" but the worsening curvatures of my scoliosis throughout my adult life has robbed me of about 2 inches of that. even though when i was discharged from the Shriner's Hospital for Children in Sacramento when i was 18 after having to wear a Boston Brace for 22 hours every day since i was 10, they told me that once my skeletal growth was complete, the curvatures shouldn't worsen. they were wrong.

Im 510 and a half but online thats 6 feet

i lie about it because i don't actually even know it

6'9 and maybe

5'11"

I could just lie and say I'm 6' but that would be dishonest

My drivers license says 6, but I was actually 510 and now Im probably closer to 59

I round up to 5'11 but then compulsively admit I'm lying and am actually a quarter of an inch shorter.

I'm 5'6, and sometimes ill bump it to 5'7, but i mean there's really no going higher without it being complete bs

I'm somewhere around 6'2".

Never bother lying about it, it's pointless.

5'4, and no I don't see any point in lying about it. I'm not trying to impress anyone, nor am I ashamed of it.

My medical chart says 5'9 and 3/4

So I say 5'10

I asked the nurse last time to do me a favor and she said no.

5'8" and this topic is making me feel short. I've never felt the need to lie though.

6 4

5'9.5 I thought I was 5'7 for a while.

I barely reached the underside of the 6' mark. So I just claim 6'. I think it still counts if you touch the mark, right?

5'10". Have never lied about it.

5'8". Never lie cause that shit is weak as hell. Height don't matter unless you're playing basketball or something. It does for some people, but if anyone's gonna let something like height dictate their relationships, well...they're probably not worth being with to begin with. Preferences are fine, but if a few inches of height are make or break for ya, then good luck to ya.

I'm 6'2".

You can either take my word for it or not.

13 ft and 13 inches

5'10"
Wouldn't want to be any taller or any shorter

5'5"

I have no reason to lie. If anything, I just find it funny.

4 feet on my hind legs, but i typically prefer sextupedal locomotion

Assuming nothing has happened to change it in the years since I last measured my height, Im 511. I dont lie about it because what would even be the point of that?

5'2" and yes

176 cm. Or 6'4"

206cm or 6'9"

some parts of life are okay and others aren't.

i don't do well at theme parks and some vehicles are straight impossible to drive.

but getting randomly asked at the grocery store to help get something down is a big "hell yeah" moment for me.

Im 510

Perfect height for me.

full of all the hot air from the short people

No
I only lie about my socioeconomic status, political beliefs, life experiences and opinions. Never my height

5'11" and that's what I say when asked. Even if I was 6' it sounds like a lie to say exactly 6'.

6'2", aka 185cm.

Never lied about it because there's no reason to do so.

189cm

not sure exactly. at least 8 or 9 feet tall.

I last had my height measured 30 or more years ago, so I would probably be lying if I guessed. I've never had a need to provide my height, so I haven't had to lie.

No idea. Can't even remember the last time I measured. Don't care to.

I think I'm actually 5'9", but 5'10" is what I go with. An extra digit looks more appealing

6'4" here.

57 woman

64 and 229 pounds. Im very proud of my weight because Ive lost nearly half of it in the course of 2 years through diet and exercise and its been hard with my disability/back injury. If I lose 7 more pounds Ill have officially lost half my body weight actually.

A lil short of 5'11

I'd like to think I got taller because my dad is like 6'1.... but I he might have lost some of his height in recent years. I'm still short of 5'11 and I'm almost eye level now.
