>Except that in dating, women overwhelmingly prefer men over 6', and very small differences like 5'7 vs 5'9 double or triple the matches in online dating sites.

This is why you shouldn't put height in your dating profile, so you filter out a bunch of superficial people.

Isn’t that a reason for putting in height if you’re short? You could even lie and pretend to be shorter and filter out even more superficial people.

There’s definitely a lot of stories were person A recounts their meeting person B by saying “I almost didn’t meet your [father|mother] if it hadn’t been for…” where the meeting was almost blocked by some arbitrary prejudicial filter due yo inexperience. I think it can work to your advantage as a filter but given how poorly online dating works for anything but matching on superficialities you might practically end up filtering out everyone.
