The claim that '' men don't care about women's height'' is ridiculous. Maybe if the woman in question is already smaller than the guy, but if she is taller? Bullshit. As a 5'9'' woman in a country where the average height for women is 5'0'' and the average for men is 5'8'' [even though I suspect a very few tall men are pushing this average up] I've been taking shit for my height since I was a teen. Short men would make distasteful jokes all the time [out of spite I presume] and I heard I would never ''find a man'' more times than I can count. My best female friend who has the same height as me dealt with the same shit. On the other hand, my 5'0'' friends dated a range of men that varied from very close to their height to men taller than me. Never heard any of them say anything about wanting only very tall men. And none of my tall girlfriends ever discarded a man just because of his height, it was never a decisive factor in the equation.
I suspect the reality in dating apps might be different, but honestly, a height requirement is nothing compared to what women put up with. ''No single mothers, no Black women, no fat women'' and the list goes on. And from my own experience, a lot of women have this requirement not due to attraction, but due to a cultural standard that the man always must be taller than the woman, that isn't only kept alive by women, but by men as well. ''Men must be dominant, it's just natural, blablabla.'' Maybe if men also didn't care about this aspect of height women wouldn't feel insecure about dating shorter men? Btw, I'm not saying all women care about height due to social pressure, some can just have a specific height preference, but I know that many do.
