I also kind of assume many people either don’t know what 6’0 actually looks like or they’re trying to account for the fact that so many men add inches to their height.

I can def see this being some sort of self-fufilling prophecy. Maybe a woman doesn't mind if you're 5'7", but she has to say she prefers guys who are 5'11", because guys who say they're 5'7" are actually 5'4".

Kinda like how they created the issue of women having way too many options on dating apps because they purposely match every single woman, even the ones they're not interested in.

I do think women on dating apps are more picky when it comes to looks in general though. Probably has to do with my second paragraph. Why pick the least attractive when you have so many other options? I think a woman IRL is going to care a lot less about appearance and care way more about how safe she feels around him.
