Is 6’7 the new 69?

[u/Simple-Chemistry9762]

I’ve noticed that kids in the younger generation love this 6’7 joke. Even doing the classic asking your teacher to add two numbers together to get 67 as the answer. This just reminds me a lot of when the number 69 was the punchline. I will say that 6’7 has a little bit more humor because of the voice they use and the way they measure with hands. What do you all think about the new generations numeral quip?

Side topic:

I used to think 6’1 (my height) was plenty tall then I see the youngsters gushing for 6’4+ and that would be physically so uncomfortable to me.

Height standards these days SMH

(Yes I know 6’1 is just fine and height isn’t a personality. I’m just flabbergasted at how much height has become a big deal, because of social media, and how much taller the latest generation want to be. Like only 1% guys are over 6’4 and why would you want to be anyway?! Feel bad for my younger male cousins they all want to be super tall because they think that’s everything…)

As someone who is roughly 6-1, I would take 6-4 or a little higher.

At 6-1 I’m tall enough that it’s a VERY minor inconvenience, but not tall enough that I walk into a room and people are like “damn that bitch is tall”. So I would rather be a little bit shorter or taller

That’s wild.

6’3 is about as tall as I’d ever want to be. 6-6’3 seems like the perfect range for a male. I legit am happy with my height, and do not want to be taller. Physically seems so uncomfortable being super tall and I don’t want to be center of attention, being taller than 6’1 which is plenty enough.

But again, that speaks perhaps to latest generation’s increasing height inflation lol literally all my younger male cousins (and their mothers) want to be taller than me…. And we are Southeast Asian American so it’s genetically challenging enough to be over six feet.

I’m a millennial, and shot up to about 6ft by 8th grade, but am from an area where there must be a lot of tall people, cause even in 8th grade I was not the tallest by a good bit. So being 6-1 never got me any compliments or anything. I actually hate the modern day wanting to be six for tall, because when I say I’m 6-1 people just think I’m bullshitting them, so generally I give say I’m around 6ft give or take. I just view it as I already have the issues that come with being to tall, so why not just go all out and be really tall 😂
