NYC Social Experiment - 6'4 vs. 5'2 - What is their profession ?

This video is from 11 years ago or so. They had two men with similar looks and dressed identically walk around the streets of NYC. They asked random strangers on the street to guess their profession and salary.

When they brought out the 6'4 man, people guessed that he was a Doctor, Lawyer, Engineer or Business Tycoon making $500,000/yr. One man said, "I wish I had his height".

When they brought out the 5'2 man, one woman exclaimed, "Oh my god, he's so little!". Then she guessed, "I don't know, maybe he's a cook!" She then guessed that he made around $20,000 a year" Another woman said, "he doesn't look happy".

People Date And Marry At Their Own Attractiveness Level

2024 study supports the idea that people date and marry at their attractiveness level. While the study does not explicitly say this, it can be inferred that perhaps those who struggle in the dating market consistently try to date out of their league.

A man's attractiveness is moot to women if he is under 180cm (6ft). There and above, their attractiveness, masculinity and fighting ability are considered and assumed should be above that height.
