56% of women say they would be less likely to date a man who is 'much shorter' than they are, while only 32% of men say they would be less likely to date a woman who is much taller. Men are comfortable pairing up with a taller partner; women largely are not. The asymmetry generalizes beyond height to other status markers — women filter harder on relative status than men do. This is one of the cleanest gender-asymmetry findings in the 2023 American Perspectives Survey.
