> "Why do I want someone a whole foot taller than I am???"

And yet, so many women would swoon over a man way taller than them (hint: it's evolutionary).

Look at the chart: it's a fact, not an hypothesis — and it's true everywhere: there's no woman saying "I like short men" (they might like a short man despite him being short, not because of it).

It's likely you are the exception; but then you should be smart enough to acknowledge you're not the rule. :-)
