whoever is making 100k but living where that's only "scraping by" is too dumb to bother about.
The most important thing by far is to be 6 feet tall. Most posters here are not 6 feet tall, but if they had a chance to magically turn 6 feet tall they would.
I would not be 6 feet tall if I could change my height. I wouldn’t make $100k a year either.
this means that in reality only 2.8% of men have both, no?
Incorrect. Because there is a positive correlation between the two, it's going to be higher. In other words, if you look at the total population of those making 100k, it's not equally represented by people of every height; there will be more taller people (e.g., 6'+) than shorter people.
Me. 6'0, used to be 6'1 but slouch too much now. $350k. 6" or so, haven't measured since high school. Can't run a 6 minute mile though or 6 miles in an hour. 6x6 years old.

36 years old (6x6) and already lost an inch of height to 'slouching'? Jesus, dude.
You need to adjust for age, the average American is 5'10
But the average American between age 20-50 is 5'11 (people tend to grow until age 18 then begin to lose height once they reach age 60)
The average American earns 60k, but the average American age 50 earns 75k (people earn more until age 40-50 where wages stagnate until retirement where wage plummets)
So the age cohort with the most 6 foot tall + 6 figure earners is probably in the 35-50 range
Anyways I guess around 10% of Americans meet your criteria
If we treated these two conditions as independent, only 3.39% of American men would meet the two criteria. In reality height and income have some correlation, so the value is higher. However, recently telework has probably lowered that correlation factor.
Lastly, since you are probably wondering about heterosexual dating, only 49.5% of the US population is male.
I'd ballpark it at 1 in 25 American men is 6 feet tall and makes 6 figures. Of course some of them are in cities like SF and NY where a 100k income is probably considered scraping by.
My online search is showing inconsistent results on % of men who make 6 figures ranging between 10%-33%. 33% seems absurd and most numbers are close to 20% so that seems like a good point to go off of. 14% of males are 6ft or taller in America.
So a simple calc would say 14%X20% =2.8% of men. So roughly 1 in 35. I would agree there is a correlation between height and income, mainly for jobs in sales, so probably closer to 1 in 30.

I'm 5'11 / 180cm and wouldn't change it. Bikes become ungainly the larger you are. Hell everything becomes ungainly. Sitting in a car, walking through a doorway.
5'11 / 180cm is the perfect height.
As for the income, well I have 23 years as a software engineer, I passed 6 figs a long time ago.
Less than 20% I’ll warrant. Not enough to go around to all the ladies.
I am 6'0 my income is $128,000 however I was just approved for a promotion interview which would put my salary at $180,000. My wife makes $77,000 which puts my household at $205,000 with my possible promotion we are looking at $257,000. My wife however shoud promote to $92,000 next year which would have us sitting at close to $300,000 because if I promote I would get an annual increase.

Why not? That's dumb. Pretty much all women would say you should.
About the only sane reason not to be 6ft is it's hard to be a good distance runner. Gotta be a beanpole like Kiprop, Kimetto, Kejelcha, or 0-pullup wejo.
