A height complex which causes the majority of 5'11" men (and some 5'10" men) to claim to be 6'0". Men with this complex will often say things such as "I'm basically 6 foot" or "I'm 6 foot with shoes on" when asked their height. It is also commonly used to finesse naive young woman into meeting up on dating sites, as 6'0" is seen as far more desirable than 5'11".
Cathy was disappointed after finding out that her tinder date, Steve had used the deception of the 5'11 complex to trick her into meeting up. "He must've measured his height with shoes on" she thought.
