I have found lots of guys don't want to date anyone as tall or taller than them (or one guy who fetishized it, which was so not better) it's certainly not just women driving this preference.
But can't say that being tall as a lady has ever really kept me from finding partners, and the short guys I know in real life also do fine, so I think this is usually more of a weak preference not a criteria.
because most people believe in trad gender roles. man is big and tall and strong. woman is smaller and weaker.
It's funny though - a guy my size is still stronger than me and guys shorter than me often still outmass me and are stronger than me, it's strange that it's so hyperfocused on height.
Husband is my height but outweighs me by 50-60lb and can lift 2x what I can on my best day. I'm literally smaller and weaker, lol, despite being neither small nor weak.
