Also largely (heh) an American thing. In Europe I've rarely if ever seen 'must be at least 180cm tall' (I know 6ft is 182, but 180 is similarly rounded). Could be we care less due to Old World tallness.. we are decently tall compared to Americans. See Scandinavia, West Europe, Balkans, etc.

As someone who has actually run the numbers for an online dating service, I can assure you it's not "largely an American thing".
