In my anecdotal experience (which I nevertheless tend to value more than "obvious" trivia everybody carries around),

Tall women don't prefer taller men.

Well, maybe they do in principle, but it doesn't seem to affect their choice at the end of day. Most of really tall women usually go with average height men.



What women settle for may not be what they prefer.

Hence perhaps you should limit your study to really attractive women.


I don't care terribly much what they prefer.

Much more interesting question is what they settle on. That's what determines selection.


Perhaps you should re-read this subthread from the top :)
