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?"

I am right on the margin at 183cm on a good day. IMO it's something short men should just lie about, in my (limited) experience women are dreadful at estimating height and just want "taller than me".

This seems like poor strategy for most women. Assuming an individual women is of average attractiveness but going after the most attractive guy they can land, it would be better to go after top 5% 5'11" guy with less competition than land a mid range 6'2" guy.
