Not sure how they'd be able to tell the difference between 5"11 and 6 ft. Theres pretty much nothing in it and that would vary depending on footwear, how you carry yourself etc. I'd just say your 6 foot to get that mental block out the way that they may have about needing to be the magical 6 foot.The are want a 6 ft dude, and I was under it. Since a lot of females that I was interested in were 5'6'' - 5'8'', it was a small issue. My gf now is 5' 3.75'', so not much of an issue now though. Still bothers me though from time to time, so I can relate to the struggle.
