Women do not prefer tall men, they prefer men taller than themselves. This is called hypergamy, and is not limited to height. There are two strategies of hypergamy play. First, male player may accent his other strong characteristics, like wealth, or physical strength, or education, or sports (not necessarily athletic) or other things society regards as prestigious. The second strategy is to find and form a relationship with roles inverted. Meaning prioritize women who are wealthier, older, more dominant, better educated and so on. Those women are experiencing much more problems with traditional hypergamous relationship, because their selection of hypergamous partners is vanishingly small, so they may consider relationship with reversed roles.
