WHR=waist/hip ratio. It makes no sense to compare male height and female height when men and women prioritize different traits. I've seen this before where men will question a woman who likes much taller men as if she's being ridiculous for not wanting a man who is her exact height or shorter.

Meanwhile, most men will probably take a 5'2 woman who's very curvy over a 6 ft female basketball player with a boxy athletic frame. It's not women's fault taller men prioritize different things and don't care about dating a woman who's much shorter.

Men are also taller on average, just like women have lower waist-to-hip ratios on average. When I see men ask a woman if she'd date a man that's shorter like that's supposed to be some gotcha to prove women are shallow, I wanna ask him if he'd date a woman with a smaller WHR or smaller cup size than him.
