I am 186cms - that's a little over 6'1".
I have noticed that most people add one or two inches to their real height. I have had guys shorter than me tell me they are 6'2". The thing is most of them genuinely believe it.
So many people don't believe me when I say I am 6'1". They insist that I am more like 6'3". I think this is because either most 6'1" guys claim to be 6'3" or guys who are 5'11" claim to be my height.
I am very happy with my height. I am as tall/taller than all but a few, so I feel no need to exaggerate. But even as a tall person I am aware of the emphasis that society puts on tallness in males. So many guys under 6' seem to have a real hang-up about this. There seems to be a mystique about being a six-footer.
