title: How do I handle person height within a simple_form?
body: <p>I have a <code>Profile</code> model, that has a <code>height</code> attribute.</p>
  
  <p>I need to store the height of users (aka profiles), but I am not quite sure how to do it. I assume the best way to do it is to have a select dropdown broken down in inches (i.e. 4'0", 4'1"...6'5", etc.). But I am not quite sure the best way to store this in the db. </p>
  
  <p>I would assume it is simplest to just store inches, but if I do how do I present the height in my select in the format I specified above.</p>
  
  <p>Right now, I just have an integer field:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;%= f.input_field :height, placeholder: "176", class: 'col-lg-9 form-control' %&gt;
  </code></pre>
