Being 6' 4" 3/4 I always rounded down to 6' 4" when people asked my height and my wife would always round up to 6' 5". When I had my first physical in a few years a while back, I measured in at 6' 3" 1/2. I'm now rounding up and trying to not to slump.
The last Ad is priceless in its' level of exaggeration. The lifts are 2", yet based on an average vertical skull dimension of 8" from chin to top of head, he manages to grow 6 - 7" by adding those lifts!
I've got it! They're made of cork, so maybe they swelled up when his feet started to sweat !? ;-o
6'3" and I've never been much use on the court, in spite of all the suggestions --foremost those from my 5'6" dad (who was actually pretty good, in spite of his stature).
And speaking of seeking out shorter people, I've ended up settling in Japan, where perhaps 99% of the population is well below my height. I'm always happy to help others with the stuff on hight shelves, though ;)

Hope you are well. I am living outside Chicago these days- and was wondering what you were up to (no, not referencing your height) I am on facebook. Nancy Sanchez
I like that the ads not only
I like that the ads not only advertise getting the girl, but being taller than her. Always a little chauvinism in ads from that era.
how's the weather up there
