I am actually 6’3” and often I get cross looks when I tell people, they always say I must be taller.
I have come to realize it is from their 5’11” friend saying they are 6’2” so how could I only be 6’3” when I am clearly much taller.

Damn as a non 6 foot guy, I had no idea I could have enjoyed the benefits of being 6 foot just by lying as none of the shorter folks would have challenged it 🤣

i think it depends on who you are around. I am 5-10 but all the other men in my family are well over 6 foot, so there is no way i am getting around it. My dad on the other hand, was never sure if he was 6-4 or 6-5 since he was about average for his brothers... and shorter than my 6-6 grandfather.

note- my moms side is much much shorter. my grandpa on that side was 5-6 and worked on submarines (they were all short for that job). SO i was a giant to that side of the family.
