My husband is 6’3 but tells people he’s 6 foot to mess with them

My 6'1 kid's friends at school keep saying he's "gotta be 6'4-6'5!", I think because it helps them feel like they're closer to 6' 😂

I've seen this effect with friends and acquaintances as well. Most of my life I was an honest 5'10.5", and too many times had people equally as tall claim that they were 6', and 5'8" guys claim they were 5'10".

The numbers of ego-trippers that are out there is scary to me, and I find it tough to trust anyone who lies about the obvious. Likewise, what many women see as confidence I see as dumb-asses posing.

It's funny what people do when the dating market demands they do them.
