According to a study published in "Evolutionary Psychology" by two researchers from Chapman University, "taller men do not have a history of more sex partners than average height or short men", that is if you are at least 5'4. Numbers decrease steadily thereafter.
The researchers due to their own positive that they would find as assumed that taller men would fair better, but this wasn't the case.

According to a study printed by publication FiveThirtyEight, 86% of women claimed to want a partner who "compliments" them rather than "resembles" them. Data they pulled from over 1 million matches from the website eHarmony while examining 102 traits said otherwise.
Men were satisfied with an 80% similarity in looks, interests, education, creativity and income, however women were far more strict. The review of data was done in 2014.
The publication "FiveThirtyEight" is now property of the American Broadcasting Company.

Re: Attractiveness By Race. Is Perceived Height A Factor?
Thread Starter
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.
Re: Height Preferences In Humans May Not Be Universal
Thread Starter
2012 study suggests that height preferences in humans may not be universal due to cultures where extreme sexual dimorphism in stature is preferred.
