    6’6" (247.5 Oreo Cookies for those of you who use that measurement). My wife is 5’1" tall.

    When I was growing up my mom would always say “the tall girls are going to love you!” Every tall girl I ever asked out shot me down in flames.

      I am 5’5" I have been flirted with by a surprisingly high number of near or above six foot women. The weird part is that most of them have known damned well I have the emotional capacity of a irate toaster in a research facility. Also I only get that they were flirting years later.

          so many researchers toasting their bagels and yet never using your dedicated bagel button will wear you down.

      For anyone else using reasonable units that’s 198,12 cm and 154,94 cm respectively.

              No, but it doesn’t matter. I just provided the exact measurements because I was copy pasting anyways.

                When the original value is only precise to plus or minus half an inch, it makes no sense whatsoever to do a conversion that’s a hundred times more precise.

                  It’s more precise and took no extra effort. 🤷

                  Why is it bothering you so much?

                    It’s not more precise, it becomes inaccurate.

                    A man says he’s 6’6". Sure. If he’s anywhere between 6’5½" and 6’6½", that’s true.

                    You say he’s 198.12cm tall. The range of this being true is now thinner than a needle. It has gone far beyond what anyone actually measures. In over 99% of cases, it’s not true, and if it is, it won’t be for long, because the human body isn’t nearly that consistent from breath to breath.

                    The conversion with spurious false precision has made the number go from true to not true.

                    The man is six foot six, yes, true. The man is 198.12cm - no he isn’t.
