I recently saw a documentary on dating or something, they were profiling a short guy who claimed that every inch shorter a guy is he needs to make $40K more/year to compensate in terms of attractiveness to women. Not sure at what height that number starts (e.g. I can't imagine Shawn Bradley is the ultimate alpha male) and can't remember where he got those numbers or how he arrived at them. BUT - no doubt it's true to some degree. Height offsets earnings shortcomings and vice versa. $40K seems way high though, not to mention it's an arbitrary figure that doesn't take things like cost of living into account.
