>be me, 5'9.5" manlet

>went to doctor, measured my height and shattered my dreams
>self-home measurements confirm
>yet, two people have even said that they thought I was 6-foot
What could be the cause of this? How to perpetuate this? I do sometimes wear shoes that make me taller (Doc Martens, boots) but never because I wanted to seem taller.
Uh because people suck at guessing height? Stop worrying about this shit so much

Shoes can add an inch to two inches. If you comb your hair high it can add 3-4 inches. A 5'6" human can turn into a 6 foot human with little effort.
Hands down you have good posture. A lot
of people above a certain height and/or insecure people unconsciously slouch, so 6 foot tall insecure guy will seem shorter than he is.
You're golden OP, don't let it get to you that some ruler told you some numbers, it's all in your body language.

How is 5'9" manlet.Does OP live in the basketball universe or some shit?Also stop worrying about a few fckin inches of height dude
Im in the same boat as OP. Its just people cant perceive height. Also good posture will make people think you're taller, so back straight.

This.
I'm 5'8 and have no problem saying it, but I could just as easily tell people I'm 5'11 and nobody would question it.
The only people who would dispute that are people who are really anal about their own height and would say shit like NO BECAUSE IM TALLER THAN YOU AND I'M ONLY 5'9

lol this. I am 5'8" and people have assumed I was 6'. It shattered their worlds when I told them I was 5'8" because they were shorter than me and thought they were like 5'10".
This was back in college. No one cares about this shit once you aren't a child anymore.
>>17127607
You're a moron
co-worker says hes 6'2" but during measurements was validated he is 5'10"
Who lies about that shit?
