>>13697364Men are about 5" taller than women so you'd expect even with random pairing for men to be taller than women. If you were to randomly pair them, about 1/8 couples should have the woman taller. It's about 1/12, which shows that the preference does exist, but it is not as strong as you're saying.
Your argument is here actually supports what I'm saying. Tall women are very often attracted to men who are smaller than them and smaller men are very often attracted to women who are taller than them, but social pressure stops them from getting together out of fear of being made fun of by other people. Your entire argument is not in favor of a genetic/evolutionary basis, but a socially constructed one, which is the current theory as well. The variation is too extreme to consider it biological - in contrast to something like being attracted to symmetrical faces, which IS actually universal and seen in everyone. That's an example of what could be considered innate sexual attraction.
Even in America, which has one of the strongest male-taller norms in the world and where women have much higher preference for height than in other places, 6% of women have literally no preference for male size. 6% of women literally do not care if the man is half their size, they do not care if the top of the man's head comes up to their waist.
Ultimately, none of this matters, because we are going to genetically modify humans so that men are small and women are big anyway. Small males and large females are superior given modern and future levels of technology.
