Internet memes really gave me a false sense of how much of an advantage my height was going to be in online dating.
There are no advantages in online dating. Just removals of negative modifiers.
I think it's pretty funny when i read something like: must be 1.9m minimum. I'm 1.85, and i don't know that many people that are taller than me. I rarely see that many guys taller than me. How many of them are single? How many are tall AND good-looking? How many are straight and in the right age group? How many of them are interested back? Why would a 1.6m tall woman put such restraints on a potential partner just because it's fashionable?
Likely because she's a fake profile employed by the dating app provider to make it look like there are tons of available women on the platform.
This way the (male) customers think they can't find anyone on the platform because they are not attractive (too short) and not because the platform is filled with bots.
And since height is a metric that's close to impossible to change, there's no way for the customer to improve and then figure out that the profiles are fake.
Had a male coworker 186 cm and dude said he still struggled. Not a bad looking man either.
