This is not the average for men in certain socioeconomic classes/age groups/ethnicities. For a non malnutritioned young man, 5ft8in or 172cm is probably going to be on the lower end depending on ethnicity.

This is not to make any judgment on which heights woman should or should not be “filtering”.

That's absolutely correct - but 5' 8" is nearly average in my age group (50ish male).

Sorry, I completely glossed over you writing “my age group” in your original comment.
