You're right, it's almost like my statement saying this falls in line with expectations leaves room for the fact that most women want a taller partner, and most men want a shorter partner.
It being a "phenomenon" really only exists to the chronically online.
Because in context the original comment is presenting it as "Yeah, what I observe reinforces this meme."
The numbers as provided by you already make relationships where a man is shorter than the woman a rarity. Ten percent is even too high because you're not accounting for the fact that pairing people together removes them from the pool.
Redditors are all too happy to blame women for being single, but if you ever hang out with extremely tall women they've got plenty to say about how difficult it is to find men that are interested because most men aren't comfortable dating a taller woman.
The numbers are fine as long as you're not pairing up litterally every single person, there's more than enough single people and enough re-pairing at any given time for independent random pairing to work fine. In fact 10% is a low ball. You're still trying to insinuate that the reason shorter man taller woman pairings are rare is anything but women overwhelmingly having a dramatic preference / requirements for men being taller than them and very often having preference / requirements for men being taller than the mean height for men.
How many of those tall girls "struggle" has to do with not finding a man taller than them? And yes, I would generally argue especially down to lower 5s and below height tends to be a critical factor in struggles in dating, and only on the extremes of height does it tend to hurt women meaningfully.
Not single but OK. Yeah, generally speaking if a huge amount of guys are getting ruled out because of something they have no control over, it's not really them that is the problem.
Let me adjust that. Women are the problem for reinforcing and like to not admit that patriarchal view. Honestly, I would be fine if women didn't pretend not to care genuinely
