OK. So this is what I can tell you.

I am 5'5''.

When I was growing up, 5'5'' (165cm) was considered the IDEAL height for women, because the Venus in Le Louvre has that height.

Then all those changes happened with tall models and all of that.

But I still think that my height is ideal, due to having heard that for many years, prior to the onset of the tall model fashion trend.

Therefore, in my book, any man who is taller than me does not get to complain.

Shorter than me - surely I would feel empathy towards a man who is shorter than me if he reports feeling slighted or inadequate (that very short man in my prior place of employment was shorter than me).

But taller than me, even by just one inch, and you do not get to complain - you are taller than an average woman, and that should be good enough.

Sorry!
