Science is not religion and contrarian opinions strengthen science results. I think it's healthy to always have a dose of skepticism, and is not uncommon for astrophysics papers to be retracted or refuted.

The problem with that study is that you cannot asses height accurately from pictures.

It's the same as saying 'You can offset being short by being a rock star' yes, I suppose you could.

I'm in Argentina and my ex-wife is 5'11, I'm 5'9. Thing is, tall girls are not that selective.

I used to go out with a friend of mine, he's a multiple business owner, a miltimillionarie since he was 25, blonde, blue eyes, etc. Also he's very social, he was always the 'soul of the party' etc. Me, at that time I had

I'm an old man with children. Fortunately when I was dating, internet almost didn't exist. Women barely had any choice except the guys they saw everyday. Now is a total different world.

Women don't go for average, they go for 20% top percentile or higher. That's the Pareto principle and most mammals follow the same rule.

Dating apps are a way to gain insight into psychology. If you don't use dating apps, the preferences remain.

>men do not necessarily select for taller woman Men don't select, because we don't get pregnant, our instinct is to mate with whoever we can. Women are nature's selector, not men.

My theory is that if you stay in a city, you are very likely correct. In a city you have to compete with men much taller and attractive. And women have access to hundreds of those men 24/7 through their cell phones constantly hitting o

Didn't see any study about that, but its true that women not only reject unfit men (short, poor, etc.) but sometimes are actively hostile and abusive to them. Perhaps is a instinctive behavior from a past were rapes were much more comm

I knew there would be answers of the style 'I'm short and Im great with girls' yes, but you are only a data point. I'm talking here of statistics, and in general short guys have it bad, according to online dating sites.

Being tall had several competitive advantages in the past. Basically before guns were invented the bigger guy usually could kill smaller guys, and get more food for the family. Quite obvious that women would prefer the big guy, and instinct

Why would the brain evolve to do this? it has no evolutionary purpose. Once you are dying it doesn't matter what the brain does or feel, it can make you feel bliss or the most unimaginable torture, nothing will help you reproduce more
