Guys, Stop Exaggerating About Your Size
Hey dudes, if I am taller than you, you are not 6 feet 1. You’re probably 5 feet 11.
I find it funny that a lot of men exaggerate their height. I am somewhat honest about my height. My precise height is 5 feet 11.5 inches. I round up to 6 feet to make things simpler. Yet I have guys that are my height or shorter claiming they’re 6 feet 1 inch or 6 feet 2 inches tall.
I mean I know how they feel. I’m a guy with a massive ego. My ego got devestated when my height measured less than 6 feet. I also feel dirty when I tell people I’m 6′ tall. However, saying, “5 feet 11.5 inches,” is a mouthful. I just say, “6 feet tall,” to make things simpler. It’s dishonest, but I know I’m not deluding myself like some people.
Some guys are pretty deluded though. When I reveal to guys who are shorter than me I’m actually 6 feet tall, they don’t believe it. I even tell them I measured myself with highly scientific, fancy equipment. They deluded to themselves so much, they start to make excuses for me.
For example, they would tell me that I must have not stood up straight. Or maybe I grew a few more inches (in my 20’s?). They won’t accept the fact that they’re shorter than they think. So guys get honest with yourselves and get measured correctly.
