I remember a TV news-magazine (20/20? 60min? Dateline?) story demonstrating Women's reluctance to date short men. They put a linup of men of varying heights up for viewing by a group of women behind one-way glass - much like a police lineup. Then they asked who they found the most attractive and who they would consider dating, marrying etc... The shortest guy there was a multi-millionare and he was picked last in every catergory. Once the host revealed his financial status, the women were still reluctant to consider him, though to a lesser degree.
Now I'm sure the Producers went out of their way to stack the "experiment" so it would generate the most sensational results, but I believe there is a bias towards historical norms. Whether it's due to cultural or genetic reasons is the same old dilemma as any other behaviour.
Accordingly, I'm not generally attracted to very tall women.
