Should taller people earn more money?

[hollowtipsParticipant 681]

Speaking from a completely measured perspective, but since bigger people have to eat more in order to be full/maintain their body mass should they earn a little more money comparatively to go towards food? I’m not talking about fat asses who are tall width wise but actual height inclination. I’m sure people will would whine about it but men on average are taller than woman anyways.

You raise a good point. Should I be getting paid more because I have a 14 inch dick?

There is, and has been, a ‘height premium’ — i.e. you are typically paid more if you’re taller. It’s been studied. There is also an attractiveness premium in the marketplace. Height also correlates to aptitude test performance. http://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2015/05/the-financial-perks-of-being-tall/393518/

As for penis size and economic growth, it’s been studied too! http://freakonomics.com/2011/07/15/for-economic-growth-does-penis-size-matter-more-than-political-system/

As for WHETHER they should be paid more, I’d say YES for some physical jobs.

For office workers, I’d also say yes, as they most often have higher self-confidence and because they are bigger than you and will pound your face in if you don’t give them a raise.

As someone who is 203 cm tall ( 6 foot 8 inches in freedom units ) I know I make more than the average income. However in my case it is more likely due to my degree in engineering and my job working on software for high reliability systems.

There are times when I can use my size to intimidate people, but that isn’t how I play office politics. A good day at work is a day spent alone in the lab where I get s~~~ done.

HAHA, fun topic. I am fine with that, if tall and fat people are also paying more for bus tickets, road tax, fly tickets or other similar costs. 🙂

I once asked a man in an elevator how tall he was. He was 6’7”. Tallest man I’d ever seen in real life. He was visibly angry. I bet you get annoying asshole like me on a routine.

Height alone doesn’t determine the daily caloric intake needs. A skinny tall guy can do with less compared to a short muscular stocky man.

Taller men do earn more. But I think after 6’2” the gains are minimal.

Only if they’re basketball players. Not if they’re jockeys. LOL

I would say no, height is a genetic trait and as far as I know there’s no medical procedure to make a short person . Since we don’t discriminate on other genetic traits (race, sex, eye colour etc) doing so on height makes no sense.

HAHA, no brother, take a closer look brother, i think that’s your leg…

[bigboy83Participant 11312]

Only c~~~s think like that. It’s like for them, more beautiful they are, the more money they should make.
