Hmph, well the study is by Dan Airely, so he's just citing himself.

Now I want to plot a graph: "Number of papers written about the effect of height on male attractiveness" vs "height of author"

This is an excellent reason why all published works should include a diverse collection of very ephemeral metadata.

> This link says 1 inch = $30000.

Good to know.

Do you have a similar number for tallness?

Well it says at around 5'9 an inch is worth 30K. Two larger questions arise out of the whole topic?

1. Is the relationship linear? i.e. at 6 vs 5'8, is it 30K per inch, or does the price of the woman start to drop based on your height? 2. If a women's interest is dictated in $$$, what does that imply? Why do men tolerate women who act like this? Why do we raise our daughters to think like this?
