On a 1-10 scale how much does LL Improve someone’s score?

Edit Post

On a 1-10 scale how much does LL Improve someone’s score? For example, if someone is a 5/10 in looks at a height of 5’6 how much would adding 3 inches add? Would they then be a 6/10? I think it depends on starting height. If you are 5’5-5’8 you benefit the most, around +.4 per inch. I think if you 5’9- 5’11 you benefit slightly less at .3 per inch. If you are alreadY 6ft of more you maybe get +.25 max. If you are extremely short, like 5’0 I honestly think just 3 inches doesn’t add any benefit.

This is just for fun, I don’t mean for this to be a serious discourse.

Not trying to be serious, but this is pretty serious academic stuff. You can search the following text to find the table in this document/study https://home.uchicago.edu/~hortacsu/onlinedating.pdf

"The table shows the additional annual income
that a man or woman needs to be as successful as a 5’
11.5’’ tall man or a 5’ 5.5’’ tall woman (the median
heights in our online dating population). The baseline
incomes are $62,500 for men and $42,500 for women.
For example, consider a man who is 5’ 2’’ tall. In order
to be as desirable to a woman as a man who is 5’ 11.5’’
tall and who earns $62,500 per year, he needs to have an
additional income of $269,000 (i.e., he needs to make
$331,500 per year)."

Except it doesn't work quite like that. Attraction depends on tons of factors, many of which are a lot more relevant than height including how well you take care of your body, your face, your eyes, your intelligence.

Y'all gotta stop thinking we only care about your wallet and your height lmfao

This is OT but saw in your sig you are mtf transgender. As 5'8 is an excellent height for a woman what is your reasons for LL?

Damn y'all really like asking this question lmao

To sum up what I've said in another thread : I like how tall women look and I don't like having men tower over me, makes me feel weak

Which aren't strong motivations so I'm not likely to have the surgery done anytime soon unless an opportunity arises

I'll just wear heels

I may not be a "woman", but at 55 y.o and married for 35 years I have seen that as women age the reality of the grind of work and family make them reconsider their priorities, and they often do begin to choose men who can provide a comfortable life over a men with movie star looks/height/body.

True but consider older women can't be as fussy as younger women so while the would like men who are both handsome and rich they need to compromise whereas younger more attractive women don't need to.

Good point, but there could be some women with age 60 and older, and they care about height.
