I think that's hilarious. I have to admit to setting my filter to 175cm just to see if there were any tall women in my area. It wasn't a useful filter. But I did really enjoy briefly dating someone over 180cm, we both put everything in the kitchen up high etc. Plus no bending down to hug her.
But counter-anecdote: I visited an ex-gf the other day to borrow something from her new partner, and she actually commented "I forget how tall you are". And it wasn't a positive thing, it was quite explicitly "new boyfriend is my height and it's great". Albeit that's 1.5m vs 1.8m so it's quite a difference.
Maybe we need a rule like "half your age plus 7"... "no more than 10% height difference?"

- Psychlist 4y agoAre you using US statistics to go with your conversion to US measurements? In Australia we have several ethnic communities where the stats for stuff like height diverge noticeably from the national stats. So "immigrated from The Netherlands" as a category will be taller by a few percent, "immigrated from China" will be shorter and have greater sexual dimorphism.
- sokoloff 4y agoI don't recall what site I was using before. I found one that let you specify country and 150cm is shorter than 99.99% of 30 year old males from Australia. https://www.gigacalculator.com/calculators/height-percentile-calculator.php?metric=metric&height=150&heightadd=cm&heightft=5&heightin=10&gender=male&agey=30&agem=0&country=Australia https://www.gigacalculator.com/calculators/height-percentile...
