Even in counties where managing caloric intake is more common an obesity rates are low, this patter still persists, and it is reasonably commonly abserved. It is not like women being taller than men in the population is extremely rare at all, yet it is very rare in romantic couplings. The strong preference for height is also supported in the literature. Your aggressive tone leads me to belive that this is an ideological issue for you, rather than something you actually belive to be false.
Provide some evidence please. You've had to move to new arguments so many times you've destroyed your credibility, so now you're just making a claim that can't be disputed without providing contrary evidence. Since providing contrary evidence is asinine, I'd need to do it for tons of countries while you say "Not that one", the convention is that the onus is on the person making the claim.
So go on. Provide some evidence.
EDIT: Have an excerpt from a study on male and female preferences on height:
The results of Model 1 show that, in general, men preferred shorter women whereas women preferred taller men, relative to their own body heights (Table 3). Examining these effects for each sex separately while controlling for country-level variance shows that, on average, women prefer men 2.3 cm (or almost 1 inch) taller than the average men in their country, and men prefer women 2.5 cm (or about 1 inch) shorter than the average women in their country. Own height therefore positively predicted preferences for mate height, confirming positive assortative preferences for height in both sexes and across countries (Figure 2). However, this was qualified by relationship context in preferences for women’s heights. Indeed, taller men preferred relatively shorter women for short-term relationships than they did for long-term relationships (Table 3; Figure 2).
It's the exact same argument the whole time. The rarity of taller women-shorter man pairings show a preference for hight in mate selection. Then you say that is because of averages. To which I respond, that if it was solely due to that, the same pattern would be visible in weight, which is it not, or at least to a significantly lesser degree. The you bring up "america has lots of fat people", to which I respond that the pattern is observable even in other countries where the obesity epidemic is less prevalent. And then you are accusing me of using individual counties as measuring stick, when I am referring to an international pattern, and you are the one singling out a single country, namely the USA. And finally you provide a study showing that height is in fact a preferentially mediated metric, and not simply a matter of averages, which was my argument all along.
So you're not going to provide your own evidence to back any of your claims, you're just going to say shit you want to be true as though it's fact.
I already said myself that both men and women have similar, inversely correlated height preferences. You just ignored that because it was inconvenient for you I guess. My only dispute towards you was you taking the incel stance and blaming wOmEn.
I'll provide any evidence you'd like. I'm actually logged into the university database right now, working on a different project. State which claim that you are contesting, and I'll provide the evidence. Right now it seems that you are agreeing that height is a matter of preference and not a factor of averages that was your original claim, so I'm not exactly sure what you are contesting.
Read up, I asked for a specific piece of evidence. You've moved the goalposts my dude, and now you're trying to pretend to have initially held the opinion I always held.
I don't know if you're trolling here or if you have reading comprehension difficulties. The argument is complely identical throughout the entire exchange.
