Attractiveness By Race. Is Perceived Height A Factor?
Data from a study conducted by Ok Cupid in 2014, revisited from 2009. You can see that white women are rated highest by all men (slight negative expression from Black Men). Black women take the back seat from all men (the least negative expression is from Black Men, though it's still in the negative). From all women, white men are preferred by far with the exception of black women. Black women give a slight nod to Asian men. White women prefer their own with Latinos getting some grace. I would bet that is because there are many white passing Latinos. Some conjecture online from Asian men is that they believe that their perceived lack of height (older stereotype) might be the culprit, but it wouldn't explain why Black men are rated lower when they don't hold that same stereotype. Here is an example of this conjecture on a reddit post. I would be great to see a 2024 update, especially with all of the political shake-ups which have taken place since then which might have an effect on opinions and perceptions. You can find an overview of the data in this OkCupid article here. |

Short cop bullied relentlessly at protest
Ironically, this is at a protest for Discrimination. Go figure. The video is from a Tik-Tok account that no longer exists, so it's now floating around online.

Women react to the physique of 5'5 Mr. Olympia competitor Ruff Diesel
Self-Improvement will always give better results than staying where you are. This guy is what a lot of ladies would call "average-looking", but his dedication to his physique and success gives him a major edge. I absolutely believe that most of these reactions are genuine. |

Height Preferences In Humans May Not Be Universal
2012 study suggests that height preferences in humans may not be universal due to cultures where extreme sexual dimorphism in stature is preferred. You can read the full study from Elsevier via PubMed here. |

That time a Nick Jonas fan asked for a photo and then roasted him
It was great to see Nick Jonas clap back. It definitely was incredibly rude to ask for a photo just to insult him right afterwards. |

She says tall men are preferred, but not for their height
So I'm guessing a 35 year old who is 5'4 is less mature than a 35 year old who is 6'4. Got it. 🙄 |

She insults her by comparing her boyfriend's foot size since he's 6'4
What's hilarious is the woman who threw the insult said nothing about the size of his foot. |

Are there any cultures that prefer shorter men?
Exactly as my title asks. There are a minority of cultures for example that are matriarchal. India's Khasi tribe, Ghana's Akan and Costa Rica's Bribri people come to mind. I can't seem to find any societies where shorter men are preferred. Do these exist? |

5'3 man becomes stepdad because that's the "best he could do."
Man talks about a 5'3 acquaintance of his who is about to marry his cousin (5'6), a woman with a few kids. He is about to attend his cousin's graduation party and wonders whether or not this 5'3 guy is settling for his cousin because "he couldn't pull any other woman". |

Lenny Miller - Removing make-up from women who think height matters
Lenny Miller blesses us with another "Does Height Matter" video. Starting at 12:57, one of the women states, "If he's not 6'4 and up, he's not it". Surprise, surprise, she and many of the others insist on keeping their make-up on and standing on the statement that "height matters".

95/5 Rule In Effect. Pop The Balloon. Latest Episode (15). Analysis
1. Tall lighter-skinned man (this matters in the context of the show's audience) walks in oafishly, like a galoot. None of the women pop their balloons (guy is taller and more built than most of the other contestants, probably around 62'-6'4). 2. Tall guy arrives in a basic t-shirt and cargo shorts (women are notorious for criticizing men for what they wear, they did this to every other person on the show) 3. Tall guy is very indecisive, doesn't say much about his interests or much at all. Says "he likes to play poker" (lol). Says for work he "invests in stocks" and is "getting into content creation" (this could mean he is unemployed or underemployed lol). None of the ladies pop their balloon. (men on the show are often criticized or dismiss for their line of work). 4. Tall guy says he dislikes women who are loud and confrontational. One pops their balloon with hesitation, the others do not. (No one challenges him for being weak and not being able to handle a strong personality). 5. Tall guy compliments most of the women in some way. None are offended (other contestants who show a lot of interest to other women usually pop their balloons) When do they pop their balloons? WHEN HE ADMITS HE HAS A ROTATION (i.e. he is "shared" by other women, he admits to four being in his rotation). If he didn't admit this, he would've still had his pick. Go figure. 95/5 on display.
