Simple answer: money
it is interesting that article mentions height and money because while back i read another study that figured out how much money a man should make to compensate for a situation where the man is shorter than the woman. apparently there was an almost a linear correlation, for every inch of extra height that a woman has on a man, the man must have at least an extra 6 million of net worth.

- menloparkbum 19y agoMoney isn't everything. Silicon Valley is filled with thousands of ugly rich dudes who can't find a date.
- ardit33 19y agoI'd say that SV is a sausage fest, but if these guys are rich, and mobile, than what prevents them to move to a place where they would have much better ods at finding good looking and smart women? If you have money, NYC is a blast. Maybe they can work a pet project from there. I'd say, if you have more than 3-4 millions on your bank account, you are really well off, and the only thing that prevents from finding a woman, is your character, or lack of trying. Bad looks, can be fixed with some good fashion, exercise, and maybe some litle surgery.
- ken 19y agoTrue, but the cash is largely irrelevant. You could have 3-4 cents but if you have character and willpower you can find someone. In fact, I would hypothesize that the kind of women who care whether you have $3-4 million are not the kind who care so much about character in the first place.
- osipov 19y ago>Silicon Valley is filled with thousands of ugly rich dudes who can't find a date. i suspect it is relative -- SV is also filled with thousands of average looking, rich dudes get enough dates -- the point is the pool of rich people in SV is larger than in many other places in the country, hence there is a larger barrier to entry.
- Prrometheus 19y agoThere's an age limit to that, though. This doesn't work with girls in their early 20s. Edit: This also doesn't work on interesting girls - the kind that you will still like spending time with when their looks have declined.
- richcollins 19y agoI don't agree. Money is just a sign of a characteristic that is more important to women, leadership. You have to realize that the attraction women feel for men evolved in a much different environment from our current world. Women are often attracted to men that are leaders and show the signs of someone who will be good at controlling his environment and providing a stable, safe situation for the raising of children.
- weezus 19y agoActually money is very important because, like height, it is a heritable trait. It's like a legally designated addition to the DNA molecule. Pop out a kid with a rich guy and you've got swanky child support and the kid gets a trust fund.
- richcollins 19y agoThere are plenty of men with money that have a hard time attracting women. If you don't have the personality and (less important) physical traits women find attractive it's not going to happen.
- zandorg 19y agoA very tall young woman had her photo taken with me in a nightclub, with requisite big grin. I'd assume that's 16 inches or $96 million dollars, money I don't have! I think she was picking up the wrong vibes from a screenwriter cum software developer.
