Attraction to vertical cues of physical height are largely suggested to emerge from humans sexual size dimorphism. The decreased importance of women s height is perhaps surprising given that men value external qualities for potential mates more so than women Regan et al. Alternatively, the profile photo may be spatially manipulated to emulate the appearance of height either by orienting the camera from above or below the vertical axis, thereby exploiting the perception of the viewer to appear taller or shorter than the photographic subject.
Research examining the effect of facial head-tilt on judgments of gender have found that pictures of faces with an upwards head-tilt, thus being perceived from below, are perceived to be more masculine, and faces tilted-downwards, so from an above perspective for the viewer, as more feminine Main et al.
Habitually learned perceptions of faces arising from height differences are proposed to guide these perceptions DeBruine et al.
