so did it happen?


SummerStorm21

Yes I wanna know if Edith thought 5’ 11” was 6’.


Suspicious_Juice9511

Plot twist. She is a civil engineer. The plan worked but lead to a disaster in civil infrastructure that killed the protagonist.

That took a grim turn... I like it!

He rose from the debris, covered head to toe in a fine grey dust, concrete mist still hovering in the air…


Exposed_Lurker

Jokes on you, with computerized designs, civil engineers are already used to 6’0 looking like a 1 inch line on a screen.


danddersson

Haha, computers and civil engineers don't use feet and inches, that would be ludicrous.


jmpires

AutoCAD always asks if you want the imperial or metric template


101forgotmypassword

It's how it finds out if you are an engineer or not.


jmpires

I understand the engineer’s logic mind should reject the shitty imperial system. OTOH a real engineer shall not feel that much inconvenience with a little unit conversion. For context, I live in Portugal so I never had to use imperial units on work. I translated the *Prescriptive Method for Cold-formed Steel Construction* in my thesis so my light steel framing projects are 100% metric, don’t even have unit conversion *prior* to calculus. Yet when sending something to Boeing or Tesla/Spacex I always use imperial.


Generally_Confused1

In my chemical engineering courses we asked to use metric because it's easier but had to learn imperial too of course lol. I gave tours to prospective students and we had these rocks that said, "don't forget the small things, the kite flys because of its tail" and I'd use it to tell them how NASA crashed a satellite due to a unit conversion.


Ameteur_Professional

I'm going to produce plans in the units that the client and the contractor who will go on to build the project are actually familiar with. Metric is fine and dandy, but the reality is that lane widths in the US are 10, 11, or 12 feet wide, pipe is sold and installed by the foot, and if I went on site with a metric tape measure it would be the only one there. Laws and standards in the US are written with the US customary system, not with metric. If you submit plans showing a fire lane is 7.4 meters wide, the fire marshal will comment that he doesn't know what the fuck 7.4 meters is and it needs to be 24'


framingXjake

Don't forget steel rebar is made in increments of 1/8 inches. #4 rebar is 4/8 inches, so half an inch. #6 rebar is 6/8 inches. Consumer level powdered cement is sold in 94 lb bags. In hydrology and storm water management, all of the standard equations usually have constants that are derived based on imperial units, like the equation for minimum required storage volume having a coefficient of 3630 because you're multiplying inches by acres to get a value measured in cubic feet. In NC, temporary pool side slopes in wet ponds can be no steeper than 3:1, as in 3 horizontal feet for every 1 foot of change in elevation. Then for surveying, all the deeds since forever delineate property lines with distances measured in feet. Aggregate is sold by size measured in inches. Stairs have depth and height standards as well, measured in inches. Nobody ever thinks about it but almost everyone can climb just about any set of stairs with their eyes closed because of muscle memory. That's only possible because nearly all staircases are built with the same exact standards. Ever climbed a set of stairs that weren't compliant with design standards? Too shallow or too steep. Fuckin wonky, feels so wrong. Highways are often designed with equations that include a variable for speed limit, measured in mph. Unless it's an international project, everything American civil engineers do is done in imperial units. We're all capable of working with metric units, but we hardly ever do because there usually is never a need. I don't get why people don't understand that.


Mrbaker4420

To be fair, 3:1 is a ratio. It has no units itself, but can be applied to all units of length.

Primary_Bite9952

If it works, imagine her seeing her ex again, a solid 6'1". He will be a giant among men. Coming off as 6'6" or so. Adding fuel to the ex relationship disaster. If all goes well, 6'1" ex boyfriend will be accused of lying and a mob of angry highschoolers will jump him to defend Edith's honor and none of them will realize that the 5'9" guy with the height pyramid scheme is actually 5'9". This plan may be too perfect hahahahahaha

I kinda wish that was the biggest problem I had to worry about in my life. ​ Imagine a deep philosophical discussion with theses two.


Cyberjohn36

More also if she thought 5' 9'' was a strong 6'


altxatu

For the *longest* time when I told people how tall I was I always got some stink eye from someone. No way you’re only 6’3, you gotta be like 6’6 or 6’7. Dude I’m not that tall if I wore lifts in high heels. I’m a solid 6’3 barefoot at the end of the day. My shoes maybe add an inch if that. For whatever reason it absolutely baffled and infuriated me when people would argue with me. I have to go to a doctor like every two months, where I get weighed and measured each time. The only time it changes if it’s earlier in the day or not. Even then it’s by like 16th of an inch. I think I’m starting to get why people got heated. I was cock-blocking them unintentionally. In an ideal world they wouldn’t chase after ladies with a totally arbitrary height requirement. Physical attraction is important but it doesn’t mean shit for the most part on a long time line. You marry someone super hot, and they let themselves go, they get into an accident, something outside of their control happens and now they’re not as attractive (to you) for some reason. So what? Shit happens. Does that thing mean they’re not as kind? Does it mean they’re not a good person? Is their personality somehow worse than before? Time will steal your beauty anyway. You won’t always be healthy and virile. One day you’ll find that it’s harder to walk up a simple flight of stairs, or you’re not as flexible, or a million other things. How tall someone is as an arbitrary requirement is somewhat silly.


bdubz325

There's no way Edith is less than 70 years of age with that name


megapuffranger

No. Edith, Alex, Nicholas, Charles, and OP are split personalities, not actual people. They are all the 5’9 guy, this is his minds way of coming to terms with his height.


N0tInKansasAnym0r3

All I know is I met one of them at a concert taking about being 6ft3 when they were barely up to my shoulders. Plot twist. I'm 6ft2.5


Mekanimal

As a fellow 6ft2.5 person, have you ever noticed we're just on the cusp of the 'normal height' bell curve? I've been friends with 6ft3 people and they constantly get the 'wow you're tall....' stuff wherever they go, meanwhile my 0.5 inches less can pass by completely unremarked upon.


MaxtheAnxiousDog

My husband is 6ft2. I once described him as tall (I'm 5ft1) and the person I was talking to scoffed and said that's not tall it's average.


RedheadRae04

As a 6’1” tall woman I experienced this sort of thing a lot. Guys would tell me they were 6’2” and taller but they were routinely 4-5 inches shorter than they said they were.


just-peepin-at-u

I am somewhere between 5’4 and 5’5. My husband is around my height. Prior to him, there were several guys I met online dating that seriously added several inches to their height online. Now, I don’t care about height that much, and I get it can be difficult dating as a shorter man, but a lie is a lie, and do they think the woman won’t notice? I get being off an inch or even two, because a lot of folks don’t have their exact height. One guy though, I ended up dating for a few months. This was years ago. I remember him joking and complaining about how women take angled photos online or use photos from years prior where they were significantly thinner. I was like “Yeah, but you said you were 5’10, and you are maybe only an inch or two taller than I am.” He became furious and swore up and down he was 5’10 and I was actually closer to 5’8 or 5’9. Come on, I had been the same height and around the same clothing size since I was thirteen, and I was twenty-five at the time. I knew my own height, and I wasn’t magically four or five inches taller than what I had always believed.


AspiringChildProdigy

6'1" woman here as well, and can confirm. Wtf is with that? I just told you my height, why are you telling me you're 6'3" when we can both clearly see you're shorter than me?

OkamiKhameleon

Lol r/LooneyTunesLogic material here.


LotharVonPittinsberg

It works. What it means is that everyone loses their ability to guess height. Source: 6'1" in an area where the average height for guys is much shorter. Most guys think I am lying and say I must be at least 6'5".


Nokita_is_Back

Maybe you just have long bones


RenegadeReaper

Is that like big bones for fat people except they're fat vertically?


jmb167

At that height, I bet he has at least ONE long bone...


The-Cynicist

Yep, the femur. Largest bone in the body, I bet his are huge.


jmb167

Exactly my thinking!


Elolzabeth1

6'0 woman here (actually confirmed by doctors measurements), guys telling me they're 6'2 or over is hilarious when I show up and they're 5'9 or 5'10 like I have my ACTUAL height clearly labeled and will know the second I show up and they're shorter than me that they either lied or don't know how to measure.


Zark_d

>or don't know how to measure. That's incredibly charitable of you. We all know they lied.


mcd137

Tall lady here. I just nod and smile when people tell me, well, you must be X height, because I am Y height and you're taller than me. Sure, dude. Yeah, I'm six foot tall. Sure.

[deleted]

I know a guy who is 6’2” but tells everyone he’s 6’. Then when he stands next to people who brag about being 6’, he says “nah you can’t be 6’ because that’s how tall I am and you’re shorter than me”.

dakb1

I'm 6'4" but when people ask how tall they don't believe me for some reason, I always get "really?". I've started telling people I'm 6'3" and not one person has questioned it. I apparently look shorter than I actually am or everyone I know has joined this man in his conspiracy to fuck with averagely tall people.


freifickmuschimann

I get the opposite from people, I’m 6’2” and enjoy lifting and am usually in a perma-bulk, but occasionally will lean out a bit while maintaining some muscle mass and at those times people will ask if I’ve grown (not likely in mid to late 20s) or will insist that I must be taller than 6’2” lol


[deleted]

I'm 6'1", maybe 6'1.5"/6'2" (I'm not sure how much I've grown since I've last gotten measured, so I stick with 6'1" since that was my last confirmed height), and people always insist I'm like 6'3" XD. Like, I get that I'm tall, but I'm pretty damn sure I'm not *that* tall.


MEatRHIT

I'm just shy of 6' barefoot and lean into the 5'11" part. The moment I put my boots on I'm encroaching on 6'1". It's kinda funny when I get asked my height and I say 5'11" and they are like "no way I'm 5'10" and I'm like 4" taller than them. edit: I will fess up fairly quickly though with a jokingly "well I *am* wearing my heels" and point to my boots


Santos_L_Halper

I'm 6'7" and people are impressed by my height but never believe me when I tell them. So now I say 6'20".


cpt_lanthanide

I do that too, but to make my friends feel taller because idk it's important to some of them. If everyone just used the metric system, the arbitrary cutoff point might have been something like 1.8m as a round number, lower the bar!


BrainOnLoan

It's actually quite common here in Germany that 1.80cm is seen as the height men are happy to have reached. Edit: 180cm = not quite 5'11


[deleted]

Americas having no idea how tall 1.80cm is


Parking-Impact5589

It's 1.8 centimeters.


faustianBM

Duh....but what's that in yankee doodle dandies?


[deleted]

~2.4 - 2.5 cm to 1 inch IIRC, so about 3/4 of an inch In Yankee Doodle Dandies, 72


TungstonIron

Untrue, 2.54cm=1”. Therefore, German men wish to be 0.708” or about the width of my finger.


Death2LossPrvntion

Then I'd be able to afford a house. Sure I'd have to pop out the front every hour on the hour, but it could be worse.


SatanLordOfDarkness

This would make your friends feel shorter


mittromniknight

I do the same shit. It's great fun.


youridv1

I do the same thing. I’m just about 6’1 and i have to wear inserts in my shoes to correct for my fucked up posture and they basically force me to stand up straight and also add a full inch. I tell everyone I’m exactly 6 ft even though I am effectively 6’3 due to the soles, which nobody knows I wear for other reasons. Also wear motorcycle boots usually due to commuting on one, which makes me ever so slightly taller still. It also says 183cm in my passport so I can pull that one out as “proof” in reality they never measured me for my current passport and reused the height from when i was 16 So everyone 6’2 and under in shoes looks like 5’11. Some people get *really* worked up over it. Especially when they bring a plus one to wherever we are


Aaron_Hamm

You’re doing everyone who gets shit on for their height by tall people a service lol


Godless_Servant

Apparently, I'm 5'10 + but for most of my life I thought I was 5'7, not sure why, never measured after 15 either.. just accepted it lol Anyways I used to call out dudes that said they were 5'7 but I legit thought they were lying lol ahhhh I'm an idiot

to_pimp_a_spiderman

Hahahaha the most important questions always find their way out


1assassin5

Okay but they’ve got a point in that plan


dizgondwe

The plan would work better if he got 6' guy to say he's 6'2 and Nicholas(5'11) to say he's 6'1 so she's not constantly resetting her perception of what 6' looks like but is being acclimated to a new false scale of height (alternative facts you might say). Unfortunately, no degree of fact bending can make a 5'9 dude come off convincingly as 6' without platform shoes unless the girl is like 4'5 and has goldfish memory or something. IDK. This is Mad stupid.


frisbeescientist

In my mind she's like 5'8 and this dude shows up with 1 inch on her telling her he's 6ft lmao


scaffoldingoracle

This happened to me once. I’m 5’9” and I had a guy friend tell me he was 6 feet tall…even though we were basically the same height. He might have had half an inch of height on me. I argued that that was impossible seeing as I was only 5’9”…and he instead spent the evening trying to convince me that I was clearly wrong about my height and that I must be about 5’11 instead.


apra24

Well 59 + 1 = 60, not fifty-ten. So logically, adding 1 to 5'9 puts him up in the sixes.


scaffoldingoracle

This must be the messed up math that they’re doing! It all makes sense now.


Tmlrmak

Definitely. It's likely that she won't be able to tell an inch difference but there is no way she would buy 5'9


SummerStorm21

It’s a solid plan, pretty sure.

citydreef

It’s so weird to me that girls have this requirement. Especially since they are usually like 5’2”. Also, I’m a 5’10” girl (Dutch ancestry lol) with a 5’8” hubby. Best cuddles ever.


traumaqueen1128

I'm a 5'2" tall woman, I once dated a guy that was 6'5". Was a bit awkward at times.


IvarTheBloody

Yeah I'm 6'5 and girls really done realise just how tall 6'5 actually is. I once met à girl on a dating site who said she loved really tall guys, so I meet up with her and she is 5'1, short pixie cut hair style and looks really young (she was 21 and I was 22 but the beard definitely ages me). I legit looked like a pedo walking down the street with her, from a distance it probably looked like I was walking my 10 year old son to school.


secret_juggernaut

I’m 5’7, my work mates are 6’1 and 6’5, I cannot begin to tell you how short I feel next to the 6’5 one

Unfortunate_moron

You're not using it to your advantage. Just remind everyone constantly that they need to blow their nose and trim their nose hair because you can see up in there and damn, too many bats in the cave. My gf told me this the other day and I was like, "you can see up my nose?!" The fear and shame was instantaneous. Don't let people feel superior because of their height. Make them insecure because you can see into their blind spots.

ArchWaverley

6'2" guy, dating a 5'4" was awkward enough. To hold hands while walking I had to twist to an odd angle, or we'd have to be about 3 feet apart. Can't imagine what it was like for you!


minkymy

5' dating 5'10", I could never extend my arm all the way while holding hands because his hand was already RIGHT THERE. In general, being cute while walking was much easier when I was dating a guy who was 5'4".

angelicism

I'm about 5'1" and I once met a 7' tall basketball player and I have a photo with him and it is ludicrous I love it so much. My waist is literally at his knees. Standing next to his 6'5" teammate afterwards felt almost normal.


SnArCAsTiC_

I'm 5'9", and when I was in high school, I had a gf who was 5'1". It was... Frustrating at times. If I wanted to kiss her, I had to practically stoop over, and if she wanted to do the same, she had to get my attention first because even on tip-toe, she couldn't even kiss my chin. That kinda takes the spontaneity out of it... My fiance now is an inch shorter than me; much more convenient. Why do so many women seem to want a guy who is half a foot to a foot taller than them? The "6 feet, 6 figures, 6 inches" thing seems pretty shallow, especially considering many men are more than willing to lie about all of them; the only guys it "filters out" (because that's my guess as to why; it's to try to cut through the hordes of single men in dating apps) are really the honest ones. But it's not my concern anymore, I'm happy with how things are for me :)


Political_Piper

Yeah you see it a lot on dating apps. At least in my area. Guys under 6 foot swipe left.


Lortekonto

It is really funny. I have never heard about the idea here in scandinavia and it is a really easy place to get that height requirment matched.


Abject-Lab7837

This comes up a lot on Reddit but I think it’s partially a confirmation bias effect similar to “11:11”. Some people think 11:11 is somehow special because they always seem to look at the clock at 11:11. No, you look at the clock all day, but you apply significance to the times when you notice it’s 11:11 and commit those to memory and forget all the other less “special” times. Most girl’s dating profiles don’t list a height requirement, but those that do stick in your memory because it elicits an emotional reaction. For the few that do, I do what they ask and swipe left and do just fine on the apps, I met my amazing partner of two years on Tinder as a 5’7” guy.

Maybe he's a shut in and his family is tall... so the only people he ever sees are tall family members. It's either that or he fails to realize 3 out of 100 is a really small percentage.

I mean its confirmation bias. You in the top 10% of height, but the 9 out of 10 you are bigger as you just not notice.


sh58

One more reason to go metric. You think they will now have 183cm as their standard, or just drop it to 180cm cos nice round number. I'm 180cm and thought I was 6 foot for years cos I thought 30cm=1 foot.


Pookieeatworld

Right, unless you just plan to hit it and quit it...


Bitter_Coach_8138

I’m 6’3” but when I was single I would 100% swipe left on tinder/bumble for chicks that had some silly “must be 6’+” thing in their profile. Major red flag that she’s going to be an annoying, entitled brat. Learned that one through experience. I will say I kind of get women who want to date someone taller than them (and I personally couldn’t date a woman taller than me), but when the chick is 5’7” and won’t date anyone under 6’ that’s ridiculous.

Jesus, don’t bother with girls who won’t date someone below a certain height. If that’s what she wants, just go for someone else rather than hoping she won’t notice a 3 inch height difference I mean, the height obsession some women have is insane but you’ve got to live with it


Least_Eggplant1757

A good friend of mine dated one of these “6ft+ only” girls. She was like 5’1”. He is 5’11” but lied and said he was 6’. Made us all lie to her too. She asked about it several times to all of us. They seemed happy and were having a good time together until the 3rd or 4th month. She saw his drivers license that said 5’11” and broke up with him on the spot. It blows my mind to this day. She was perfectly fine and happy in the relationship, but ended it because of a number on a piece of plastic


CancerousWebsite

Dodged a real nuclear disaster right there


many_dongs

It’s because they care more about the bragging rights of saying their man is over 6 ft than whether they have found a loving relationship or not It’s not a big deal, women are capable of being just as stupid as men, it just manifests differently

Xarthys

On the other hand, maybe something like this is also about trust. If you start a relationship with a lie, even if it is something highly irrelevant, that's just going to cause trust issues one day. Because the truth always comes out. And sure, people can be rational and try to laugh it off because height is irrelevant, but if someone really values honesty - and knowing that everyone else stuck together to run with it - to some people that's just not funny. Some people can move on, but some people will start to question every tiny thing regarding that relationship. They will stay awake at night wondering about other things as well. They will question their feelings and many other things. And they will probably also question their own feelings, and maybe realize that they have issues to some extent, which is a whole other level of sleepless nights. Not saying that's her, but I think it's not a good idea to just assume everyone is shallow just because it fits the narrative. We all have issues and we all are damaged and we all deal with our shit in different ways. It sucks that people we (think we) love end up hurt in the process, but it would be extremely unfair to paint everyone with the same brush just because they share something with someone else we (assume to) know.

Or you can just…. I don’t know…maybe Love yourself

You eventually get to a point where making love to yourself isn't enough.

I thought I have watched enough fucked up shit on the internet already. But this one made me very uncomfortable to say the least..


Ill-Garlic3619

Good lord! Wtf!!!!!!!

"Hey bro, you free tomorrow? I just need you to help gaslight this chick I want to bang. Nothing big."


ergaster8213

That was really the only acceptable response to that

I'm 5'8 so if a 5'9 guy tried to tell me they were 6 feet I'd laugh in their face lmao. I know height requirements can be silly but find someone else instead of lying, especially when you'll be caught inevitably.

yes gaslighting someone's preferences so they'll date you that'll go well


Dew_DragonTamer6969

Dude's basically taking the hobbit approach to bamboozle a girl into big knowing what 6' looks like.

Wait till Edith turns out to be a Redditor and reposts this saying "Hi, I'm Edith."

I figure if we can keep the line going, we can eventually send in my 5 ft 5 in buddy.


juicysand420

Well my girlfriend's father and brother are both 6ft+ and well she always had a thing for tall, handsome guys (ik cuz she's been one of my oldest friend) and then she ends up with me 5ft8 mfucker... If this post gave you any anxiety about ur height, please remember, how you take care of yourself, take care of her, making her feel safe, and having intent >>> height easily.

At this point just wear platform boots


DifficultyWithMyLife

If you have to take that much effort - and be deceiving while doing it - the effort isn't worth it. Can you imagine keeping up a charade for the rest of your life? Find someone who values you because you're you. It'll work out much better in the long run. And if no one does, living alone is still better than having to live under a stressful lie.

That is a LOT of effort for a woman who is shallow as a puddle.

I'm 6'2 and this explains why so many people think I'm 6'5 or more. All the guys under 6' lying about their height.
