Anyway if a person's only dating criteria is your height and they themselves are not around that height, then I think it is best to stay as far away from that person as possible. I knew couple people like that and over the years they have had lots of relationship issues.
- whatshisface 7y ago92.2% or so of men are taller than their heterosexual partners. This is usually attributed to women's preferences, although I'm sure there are some men who insist on their SOs being shorter than them. Avoiding people who think height is an extremely important factor may not be possible.

- rjtobin 7y agoThe source posted answers that too. In one of the studies contained in the 538 article, the probability of a woman being taller than a men if both are selected randomly was .102. Compare this to the observed probability of woman in a couple being taller than her male partner being .075. How big is this difference? Well if 25 percent of women only dated taller men, and the other 75 percent of women were totally indifferent, we would see this. So not quite as extreme as one might guess from a statistic like "92.5 percent of men are taller than their partners".
