> 90% of swipes by women are for men over 6’0, which does not reflect the importance women place on height in the real world.

Yes it does. They just won't admit to it in person because it is objectively so shallow and superficial.

Could you please provide some data on this? I mean, in real life, as related to dating apps.

What makes you think it's based on data, and not just an opinion based on observation?

Alternatively, what's wrong with opinions based on observation? This one sounds plausible to me, though I probably wouldn't have worded it quite so harshly. It seems pretty obviously true of lots of things we like about each other. We don't want them to figure so strongly in our attraction, but they do.
