182.5 Centimeters
Feb. 19th, 2014 02:11 pmThoughts on Height
I lie online. In other news rain is wet. I am, more or less exactly, 182.5 centimeters tall or 5 feet 11 and 7/8 inches, which I almost always put down as 6 feet exactly when asked. It is a very small thing, but it is an exaggeration. There is actually a nice little notch at 5'11" where significantly fewer people put down their height. Check out this old okcupid blog post about height. It found that people seem to be exaggerating their height by 2". Do people really go that far? I mean I round up or down as suit me, but by a whole number? Or is everyone else using an "in my shoes" number?
