…. Did this study just say that short dudes are left to date fat dumb chicks?

In two studies, women were more likely than men to indicate that height matters when selecting a mate (Salska et al., 2008; Yancey & Emerson, 2014), and taller men were more likely to be selected for dates at speed dating events (Kurzban & Weeden, 2005). In a study of personal advertisements, relatively short men were less likely to be contacted than other men. Tall men, however, did not appear to have an advantage over medium height men (Pawlowski & Koziel, 2002). Past research has found that taller men were more likely than shorter men to find a long-term partner and to have multiple long-term partners (Nettle, 2002a). Men who are shorter than average appear to be at a disadvantage on the mating market: Their partners are more likely to be less healthy, have lower incomes and education, and have higher body mass index (BMI; Stulp, Mills, Pollet, & Barrett, 2014).

Another water is wet study. I don't even understand why they invest money in such studies. It's common knowledge and everyday observation.

Am I autistic or did this study conclude that men between height 5'7-6'3 get laid roughly the same amount? (Conclusion section)
