Me too, if they are the same height as me or a bit taller then they are 2m if they are normal height then they are 170-180 and other than that they are sub 160

I can tell if somebody is 2 meter tall or not, and if they are 170 or 180.
Where are all these people that roamed the earth a bunch and still can’t tell heights?

Right? I’ve built enough walls and pitched enough tarps to know how tall six feet is.
I do admittedly do both more often than most people, but still

Unless you’re the same height as me, I’ll never remember how tall you are. I was mentoring some girl for half year and when she asked me to guess her height while she was sitting, I guessed ~170, turns out she was 180+.
Height just isn’t something I register about a person, and I don’t see why anyone would bother trying to remember stuff like that.

I don’t mean remebering, I mean estimating, in person.
Is a person tell me they are 190 and they are actually 185 I can tell. Can’t you?

My height is 192 so 190 vs 185 would be easy to tell, but once you reach ~182 and below it’s all a wash. 180 vs 175 I wouldn’t have a clue. I was off by more than 10cm in my estimation when they were sitting in front of me, and it was a person I knew well.

Have you tried having them to actually stand up?

No but it’s because I’m American and those numbers mean nothing to me.
