        It’s a meme that all 5’11" ppl round up and claim they’re 6 feet

          Is that related to the incel thing where they say women refuse to date short men?

            kiiiiinda…but there’s a not insignificant number of women actually won’t either, probably more related to the “6 foot mininum” you see on tinder profiles a lot.

              A lot? Granted, I haven’t used dating apps in almost a decade, but I never saw that

            This may be a surprise, but there is a group of women that woman equivalent of incel men.

                Great hyperbole! Actually no one is “poor”, all humans are shitbags, when given power they will abuse it.

                    How can you not? Although white males are currently and most (all?) of human history have been top of the power pyramid and have been complete assholes to others with that power. And should be rightly called out on their abuse to others. That doesn’t exclude others from being shitbags when they get or have power over others.

                    The only logical conclusion is the ALL humans are generally shits bags when they have the power to be. (Taking into account your normal exceptions and outliers to the rule of course.)

          I remember meeting a lot of my women friend’s boyfriends back when everyone was going through that song and dance. “He is six feet!”

          What was always incredible is how many of these six foot tall dudes were the same height or shorter than me, and I am five ten.

            The weirdest thing is that 6 feet (183cm) isn’t even very tall. If you’re going to lie, go all out and say you’re 7 feet tall.
