BodyLogicMD, a network of physician-owned medical practices, performed a survey of 1,105 Americans using Amazon's Mechanical Turk platform. Their goal was to explore emotional impacts of height, including implications for romantic prospects and self-esteem. | |||
Evidence is discussed showing that increased male height provides professional advantages, including higher pay and better odds of career advancement, and an edge in matters of romance. Disadvantages of increased height are described by their review as including higher rates of medical issues like cancers and blood clots. | |||
Primary findings of their survey on height's impact were: | |||
* Both men and women said the ideal male height is 6' tall (i.e. Taller than 82.1% of men in America). | |||
* Taller men reported they felt they were funnier, more desirable, more confident, more attractive, and more satisfied with their sex lives than shorter men. | |||
* As an example, 69.2% of taller men felt they were attractive to potential partners, compared to 51.8% of shorter men. | |||
* Short height was associated with feelings of being less masculine - 48% of men under 5'5" felt less masculine due to their height. | |||
* Taller men were significantly more likely to feel they were successful in their careers and make the salaries they deserved. | |||
* 60% of men overall wished they were taller. | |||
* 21.1% of men under 5'9" had actively researched ways to become taller. | |||
* 23.9% of men under 5'9" said they would surgically alter their height if possible to become taller. | |||
* On average, men wanting to be taller would pay 30.9% of their life savings to do so. | |||
The study also confirmed that men were far more flexible about the heights of their potential partners than women. Women were 9.3x more likely to wish their partner was taller than to wish he was shorter. Specifically, 36.2% of women wished their partner was taller than he was, while only 3.9% of women wished their partner was shorter than he was. | |||

* ''At all heights, men were considerably less picky about the stature of their potential lovers. More than three-quarters of short, average, and tall men said they'd give dating someone taller a try.'' | |||
