This a low-effort post but I'll leave it up because an interesting discussion started in the comments.

It's the classic case of men needing to provide, and women to take. We aren't allowed to set the terms.

I've said it a bunch, but...

I don't date, but if I did I'd put out profiles looking for women who are no less than 6 inches shorter than me, within 2 years of my age, and make my salary +- 15k. This means you need to be at least 5'10", at most 27, and make at least 50k per year (special exceptions for doctors/nurses, accountants, and engineers). These are realistic expectations for a woman, right?

In my case I would say it's fair because I'm not making a standard I myself don't live up to. By those rules, I would date myself if I were the opposite sex.

(Of course in reality I just care about a good personality, but after the horrific experiences I've had I will never date seriously again. I can't take any more abuse.)

This is related to the rabid entitlement that is cultivated in women that they deserve anything they want and the role of men as status objects. With relations becoming more disposable, women making their own money and the going after a man with good economy becoming both meaningless and shamed by the mainstream society women needed something new in order to rank men as status objects. Height was an easy choice, it is easy to notice, easy to measure and permanent.
