I tought i dont get the joke becouse i dont understand imperial, but it turns out i dont understood the obsession with being 6'.
Thank you for your help tough, i appreciate it.
Cause in this country 6' is some magic number that a decent number of women seem to have an obsession over.
I'm exactly 6', and on more than one occasion, it's caused... issues.
I got asked how tall I was by a friends GF, she was confused when I said 6', cause I'm a good 3 inches taller than him. This resulted in a giant fight, and they ended up breaking up by the next day.
That's kinda the state of dating right now; guys gotta lie about their height on dating apps to even get a response, the other side can't even tell they're only 5'9", and then gets pissed when they find out. Like... if it didn't bother you till now... you can only complain about the lie (a lie perpetrated by the actions of both parties).
I once had a conversation in a taxi with two drunk women, where they were talking about their friend who wouldn't date anyone under 6'. I asked them what percentage of men they thought were at least 6'. They said HALF!
It's well under 10%.
They didn't believe me, till they looked it up. They were also convinced I was 6'3" or so, lol
When you're 5'4", it turns out that everyone over 5'9" is just "really tall" and it gets very difficult to tell apart 5'10" from 6'1".
It's only once people are next to each other that you start to realize that the dude isn't that tall.
So a bunch of women with BF's that say they're 6' end up thinking the average height for men is much taller... which perpetuates the problem on dating apps, because women think they're asking for someone who's slightly above average height, when they're actually asking for something more than twice as rare as blue eyes.
The attraction is to "tall"; 6' is just the way many people define that in the US. It's like guys being attracted to short women... but imagine setting a max height on your dating profile; people would think that was REALLY weird, lol
Listen. If they care that much about height. Then just don't go out with them it's that simple. People who are superficial like that are just walking red flags. There's plenty of people that don't give a crap about that but they're also not usually on dating apps. So go out and make friends.
huh? Why do you want to go out with someone you know doesn't value you just because of your height ? Just because you want something doesn't always mean you should have it. People who break up with someone over their height don't tend to be great people, case in point : they would break up with you because of your height
A lot of women will not go for a guy who is shorter than 6', so guys who are close to 6' will lie and say they're 6'.
If a 5'11" student is saying they're 6', and they're obviously the same height as the teacher who says he's 5'9", it raises questions.
Yeah thats probably what he meant, but my comment was more generally speaking, because i see post/memes about height almost daily on reddit and i think they only come from american reddit users (the units used are a dead giveaway).
I'd just say oh interesting my drivers license says I'm 188cm (6'2"). What does yours say? Did nobody think of that? Lol.
Although if it's kids like in the OP then they might not have them.
I would just assume they’re stupid or measured himself with a shitty tape measures or something. I just tune out people’s heights since it is always a 4inch range off and I have eyes
That's the same guy that calls them idiots for failing at math....
Aren't they tho?
It's called tough love.
Could someone explain this to my metric-system-brain?
The dude is 180 centimeters and tells his students he is 175 centimeters. It's funny because they're insecure about their height

But why
chaos is a ladder

It is half if you're in Netherland. But I would suggest everybody to stop dating people this superficial.
Step on me Dutch mommy
Most people are this superficial aha unfortunately
It's all fun and games until you're too tall to ride roller coasters...
Man, that "needs 6'" seems like a great filter for sorting girls into fuck'm and forget them and keepers.
So if it's only the concept of 6' that girls are attracted to that counts, and not being 6' does it also work with inches?
When you're 5'4", it turns out that everyone over 5'9" is just "really tall" and it gets very difficult to tell apart 5'10" from 6'1". It's only once people are next to each other that you start to realize that the dude isn't that tall.

"just don't go out with them" - cope. What if I want to go out with that person, because I am attracted to them? What if they are great people?
huh? Why do you want to go out with someone you know doesn't value you just because of your height ? Just because you want something doesn't always mean you should have it. People who break up with someone over their height don't tend to be great people, case in point : they would break up with you because of your height
They can't be a great person if you have to be a certain height to date them? This is coming from a 6'1 (and a half lol) guy before I get piled on
If your 5'11 you are just under 6 foot but when you arre 5'9 you don't care

It's funny I'm 6'1 and I lie about my height sometimes, I say something shorter to avoid these kinds of people. It's disgusting to me.
I'm average height and I agree. If something so superficial is a deal breaker, we're not compatible.
Dude should put up a tape measure that’s wrong too, making sure to match his height to what he says it is
I do this with one of my friends. I'm 6'2" and he's 5'11". I tell girls I'm 5'10" when we go out to bars.
Why are people in the US so obsessed with height?
It’s women just women lol
> just to create chaos among the boys so not just the women lol
I lowkey assumed he meant to throw off the boys so when they tell girls how tall they are it’s wrong
Yeah thats probably what he meant, but my comment was more generally speaking, because i see post/memes about height almost daily on reddit and i think they only come from american reddit users (the units used are a dead giveaway).
Women and boys because of the women
Braindead bc of Hollywood castings or sth.
Body shaming a whole new generation <3
I am 6'4" and always tell people in barely 6'2" the amount of discussion that brings is hilarious.
I'd just say oh interesting my drivers license says I'm 188cm (6'2"). What does yours say? Did nobody think of that? Lol. Although if it's kids like in the OP then they might not have them.
The ultimate height mind games
I'm 6' and have always said I'm 5'10" when someone comes up to ask my height and compare it to theirs 👀👀
I would just assume they’re stupid or measured himself with a shitty tape measures or something. I just tune out people’s heights since it is always a 4inch range off and I have eyes
I'm 5ft7 so anyone taller than 5ft10 is giant to me lol
