Ethnicity is most important - are you white? Gives you an edge over everyone else whether or not you’re tall or short

I think height is one of those generalized “desirable” traits for some—I hear often in hetero dynamics cis women literally draw a line at those near their height sometimes...

Depends on the guy. I just ran into an ex of mine and realized a was a little taller than him. I apparently used to slouch without knowing it when we went out because he liked being taller. I also tend to do it with some male friends.
