Discussion What’s The Dollar Value Of Being Tall?

[CircumcisedClown]

Say hypothetically you could buy your way to 6’3”, which is 95th percentile or 1/20 males. What would something like that be appraised at.

Obviously, being 6’3” isn’t too unusual and isn’t guaranteed success either. Plenty of 6’3”, homeless crackheads.

I would say being 6’3” is worth about $1m

The dollar value is in the difference of lifetime earnings between tall and short men in the same profession and rank. I don't know the numbers off hand, but it's significant.

There are people that will pay billions and trillions to be tall. Genetics worth trillions given how much the effort is put into gene editing.

There's no real price to put on good genetics. This is also the case for good genetics when it comes to predisposition to illnesses. Would you rather be a billionaire with multiple genetic issues that negatively impact your health, or would you rather be poor and be a genetic beast in all areas?

Sure, but if you were to suppose that there are commercially viable medical technologies that turn a 5'2" Pajeet into a 6'3" Bollywood Chadpreet, then at some point the price point will reach market equilibrium. At first, though, yes, it will be insanely expensive, but nowhere close to billions. However, the value of tall men will also be diluted, since people value rare traits from random chance i.e., what you're born with. If everyone is tall and good looking, then that becomes the average and loses its value/appeal.

The difference is something like $20k per year, but that’s for a 5’6” man compared to a 6’2” man or something like that. Also, people only work 50-60 years of their life.

It be more fair to compare average height (5’9”ish) to 6’3”. Also, you have to consider intangibles like social success and attractiveness. People spend plenty of money at clubs trying to make friends and fuck women. Men don’t spend $500 on a bottle of cheap vodka at the club because they just want the alcohol. Being tall could potentially save you money on social enhancers that normies have to waste money on.

There is a price to social status and life enjoyment as well that can be evaluated by the free market. People are willing to spend a large percentage of their income on expensive cars for the enjoyment and social status that comes with it. If everything was about practicality and savings, everyone would be driving Priuses.

A good body can be thought of as a nice car that you’re driving 24/7.

For one, you wouldn't post here if you were that tall, which is a starter

$100 billion. Being tall automatically makes you 'the good guy'. Every bank and investor believes everything you say. You can be mentally disabled and they'll dump infinite money on whatever retarded idea you come up with. Like Elon musk (6 2), donald trump (6 3), no matter how brain damaged their track record is that are always 'correct'. The government will never put you in jail.

Compare to sam bankman fried. His iq is 200, physics at MIT. But his height is 5 8 so he instantly gets 100 years in jail.

The glass ceiling is literally height, if you are not tall enough it's over
