(in feet)
* The original survey question stated the following: "When thinking of beauty, which height do you consider ideal for men?"
The source specified that the sample is "more urban, more educated
and/or more affluent than the general population and the
results should be viewed as reflecting the views of a more
“connected” population."
Regarding the methodology, "sample surveys and polls may be subject to other sources of error, including, but not limited to coverage error, and measurement error. The precision of the Ipsos online polls is measured using a Bayesian Credibility Interval," which was set at +/-4.8 percentage points.
