As a guy that's exactly 6' tall, when asked how tall I am I've had numerous women argue with me that I must actually be 6'2" or 6'3" because I'm definitely taller than so-and-so who's 6'. Lots of dudes lie about their height, and it's not a recent phenomenon... I remember when the internet didn't exist and it happened back then too. It's worse now however.

Had the USA actually embraced metric, 7cm+ discrepancies wouldn't exist

I'm short and I unironically give people a lower height number just to fuck with them (usually an inch or 2). Gotta keep people just a little off balance.
