Interesting. The average (median) American man is 5’9” tall. Only 15% of American men are 6’00” or over. The average (median) American woman is 5’3” tall. Only 15% of American women are 5’6” or taller.
From the final section, “Bonus Commentary”:
“Body height plays a role in human mate selection. On average, women prefer men who are taller than they are and who are taller than most men are. In one study of Dutch and German participants, women preferred their male partners to be 13.45 cm (5.3 in.) taller than they are, and they reported a minimally acceptable height differential of 3.72 cm (1.5 in.). The men in the study reported a minimally acceptable height differential of 0 cm, while their preferred height differential over their female partner was 12.11 cm (4.8 in.).
Knowledge about average male height has implications for dating apps and women’s expectations in mate searching. Women who use dating apps often state in their profiles that they will only date a man who is taller than they are. Some women stating specifically that they will only date a man who is taller than 6’0’’, with some women include the following snarky remark in their profiles:
“What do you call a man who is under 6’0’’?…A friend.”…
…women who will only date men who are 6’0’’ or taller will partake in intense competition for a limited number of potential mates.
One issue with dating apps is that they allow users to filter profiles of potential mates based on body height but not on body weight (or body composition). This discrepancy favours women because women are more concerned than men are about body heights of potential mates, whereas men are more likely to be interested in knowing the body weights of potential mates.”
Men understandably want to screen out feminists who are on average (median) 137.8 pounds heavier than non-feminists, according to a forthcoming report following a study carried out by researchers at Roanoke College in Virginia.

Thanks Steven. I spotted the mistake just after publishing it, then corrected it! In a later post I wrote that a Somerset Maugham novel published in 1919 was published in 2019, before correcting it. Getting old and making more mistakes haha!!!
