So recently I've discovered that a man's height is a pretty big deal to most women. I've never realized that is was THAT important to a woman that a man be very tall. I've always known that women prefer men to be a few inches taller than them, just like guys prefer a woman to be a few inches shorter. I've always figured that a guy who was good looking and fit at 5'7" would be preferred by most women under 5'5" over a guy that was 6'3" and looked like he had been hit repeatedly with the ugly stick. However, it would seem that I'm wrong, at least if I go by internet standards. I've observed some things:
Firstly, only about 14.5% of all men in the US are over 6' tall. Only 3.9% are 6'2" or taller. Girls, that means that your chances of landing a man who is 6'2" or taller is no better than 3.9%, and probably a lot lower than that. You're more likely to be struck by lightning. According to he most recent census taken by the CDC, the average white American male aged 20-29 is about 69.9 inches - just a hair under 5'10". From what I've seen, the best looking girls are usually of average female height, and they are typically with best looking guys of average male height. There are exceptions, but in general I find this to be the case. Rarely do I see extreme difference in height. Heck, I only see a dude above 6'2" about once a week, and I have a job where I drive all over. I think a lot of females have skewed ideas about male height, and that's because men lie and usually give themselves about 2 - 3 inches of height to impress the girls. This gives the ladies a false idea about how tall men are. As a general rule, if he's says he's 6', he's probably 5'9" - 5'10". So what do you all think? Am I right or wrong? What else could explain this discrepancy?

By the way, my height ranges from 5'9" to 5'10" depending on how my spine is doing. Someone's height is dramatically affected by posture and other factors. No one's height is static.
