NYC Social Experiment - 6'4 vs. 5'2 - What is their profession ?
post #1

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".
