No units -> my brain reads those numbers as ages...
Those elves are too young to be dating.

Going by which lore though. In D&D 5e, Elves reach adulthood by 100 years of age.

If anyone is interested, here is the original (I think):
lmao that's much more perfect than the version I posted
I think not, I like the anime version
Anime woman looks more mad though. Like I wouldn't want to turn my back on her after the picture. Real person looks on the verge of tears. Less like she's going to kill me, therefore less attractive.

Women: I only date TALL men!
Tall men:
Isnt 188 cm just barely 6'2? Not 6'4.
Finally a height meme where I can understand the heights given
What heights?
I don't see any heights mentioned.
No height, just a very old couple
I immediately thought they were talking about weight.
Weirdly, I thought years. Like these were elves or something.
I've been playing too much D&D, I need to spend some time in the real world.
I assumed a vampire anime.
I thought it was age
Reminds me of a Billy Crystal joke.
105 year old man and his 99 year old wife go to the judge to ask for a divorce.
"Are you sure that you want a divorce at your ages?"
"Yes, your honor, we haven't been happy for a while and it's time to end things."
"Why did you stay together for so long?"
"We were waiting for the children to die."

6'6" (247.5 Oreo Cookies for those of you who use that measurement). My wife is 5'1" tall.
When I was growing up my mom would always say "the tall girls are going to love you!" Every tall girl I ever asked out shot me down in flames.
I am 5'5" I have been flirted with by a surprisingly high number of near or above six foot women. The weird part is that most of them have known damned well I have the emotional capacity of a irate toaster in a research facility. Also I only get that they were flirting years later.

For anyone else using reasonable units that's 198,12 cm and 154,94 cm respectively.
for everyone who actually uses metric, that's 198 cm, and 155 cm respectively :)

This post is lit because of the cm measurements.
Height in centimeters? I don't entirely get this.
It's what most of the world uses. Tea-ville and Yeehawland are the only two that typically use imperial still.
We don't even use the same type of imperial either
If France could just lie for a few years and say that they're adopting the British system, it might persuade us to finally metricise properly out of spite and I'd be extremely grateful to them
In Germany, we usually express height in meters and centimeters, like 1 meter 58 or 1 meter 88.

Not just tea-ville, but former tea-ville colonies also measure human height in feet and inched. And former tea-ville colonies make up a large portion of the human populace.

Height in centimeters?
Yeah, it's in centimeters. 158 cm is 0.000853132 and 188 is 0.00101512 in nautical miles, if that helps any.
Alternatively, as a smaller scale, 158 cm and 188 cm are only 0.01727909011373578 and 0.020559930008748905 football fields, respectively. Hope this helps.

Yeah I had to read it twice to figure it wasn't years. And I use metric, so I know exactly how tall these two are but for some reason it didn't click on the first read
It would be easier if it was 1.88 and 1.56 :)
I think the anime picture adds to it. I thought it was about the "my witch girlfriend is actually 500 just in a childs body so its not pedophilia"

It's nothing. Without a unit those are just numbers. A can of coke isn't 12, it's 12floz.
Or so my metric companions don't shit themselves in their panic-induced rage at the sight of imperial units, a coke can isn't 355, it's 355mL.
It's actually 355 ml.
I'll accept the lowercase L (in my East Coast based US education we were taught liters should also be capital L, but that seems to either be flat-out incorrect or have fallen out of fashion), but googling images of the cans shows me no space between the number and the unit.
I hadn't even noticed that you didn't put a space between the number and the unit. Looking it up online, the Bureau international des poids et mesures states that a space is to be used in front of all units, except for °, ' and ". Dropping the space is very common though.
It's cool to learn the official guidelines; thanks for doing the legwork here!
No, in feet, they're actually giants.
Practice using metric. Not kidding, as an American it’s sometimes frustrating but most things are available in metric and there is a quite large convenience factor

A difference of ~11" 4/5ths, or about 6' 2" vs 5' 2". 📐
Gosh I love Edelgards design
