Do Europeans really give their height in cm? You'd think they short hand it like to like 1.7m or whatever since height is one of those things that doesn't really need to be exact and will change by a cm or so based on the kind of shoes you are wearing, or wearing shoes at all.
continental europeans who know their height in feet must number in the hundreds! (my dad and i happen to be two because of Karl May reasons, but i doubt anyone else bothers...)
You always do it in cm wherever I've been. It's either directly in cm, as in 172 cm or phrased in meters, as in 1.72 m. You cab say you're around 170 cm tall or around 1.7 m tall, but the 'default precision level' is 1 cm

In my native language we say the equivalent of 'one and eighty-five' to refer to 185 cm of height, so basically we give it in meters.
Not europe but yes, we do it in cm. Never heard people rounding up or down to the tenth though, so 164cm is 164cm, not 160cm.
Dick length is the only thing you can round up to the tens.
Yes.

In France it's generally in meters with two decimals, so basically the same as giving it in cm
Particularly for folks with long spines, height can change significantly throughout the day.

10cm is 4inches, you're not gonna round that much
Japan does too, at least from all the manga etc I've read. Not in meters either, just cm.
