- Gender Differences: Women are more selective about height than men. They have a narrower preferred height range and are less tolerant of deviations from it. They are also less responsive overall (say "yes" to fewer potential partners).
- Male Height and Success: Taller men are more desirable and more likely to form a match, even though they are less responsive themselves. This suggests height is a significant factor in female mate choice.
- Height Difference Preferences: Men prefer women who are slightly shorter than themselves, while women prefer men who are much taller.

And lastly penis size
For one-time sexual partners, the preferred penis size was 6.4 inches (16.3 cm) in length and 5.0 inches (12.7 cm) in circumference. For long-term partners, the preferred size was: 6.3 inches (16.0 cm) in length and 4.8 inches (12.2 cm) in circumference. These findings suggest that women prefer penises larger than the average size.
