The Strategy of Dating Short Men

There is an illusion of endless quantity of men, and all you know of a potential match is his photo, stated height, and perhaps one line of text. Women who meet men in real life are much more likely to date short and average height men. Though typically women won't date a man shorter than herself. If you take the average height of all men married in a given year, it is probably the same height as the average adult male population. But the "endless quantity of men" thing is not an illusion.

It's a sad — and possibly superficial — truth, but the majority of women prefer taller men, according to Psychology Today.

Erik Torenberg writes ,. Hypergamy is the tendency for women to want to date the best men, no matter where the woman is in the hierarchy. Suppose that a woman has two preferences. First of all, she wants a tall man. Second of all, she wants a long-term exclusive relationship.
