Hahaha. Oh, yes, I'm aware of that, but the amount he mentioned was strange. But yeah, perhaps he was using a nonlinear comparison as you said, which would make more sense.
Well it says at around 5'9 an inch is worth 30K. Two larger questions arise out of the whole topic?
1. Is the relationship linear? i.e. at 6 vs 5'8, is it 30K per inch, or does the price of the woman start to drop based on your height?
2. If a women's interest is dictated in $$$, what does that imply? Why do men tolerate women who act like this? Why do we raise our daughters to think like this?
