回复laojie的评论: Different groups do have different expectation on marriage, but "want everything" is overstating. It is saying that American girl are diversified with various requests, some may be even bizarre, while other groups have more foreseeable behavior. Diversification can be good if not accompanied with unstable.
When picking your another half, it should take into account both you can get and give to the marriage. You are not choosing a commodity but designing your life. Tall or short is just one feature that is overvalued. It's only 5% difference from 170cm to 180cm while other differences influence your future more.

记得我插对那年代,老农总是说男女之间或高或矮,不是最重要的。我们总是中间找齐儿!

回复武胜的评论:
But I always thought it's Asian men who are picky on women -- American women are less "wify". Am I wrong? Sometime ago, an American boy told me about a song, it goes roughly like "French girls want this, Chinese girls want that......." Guess what, "American girls want everything you can possibly imagine" Are they too demanding? Educate me please.

回复smeagolrocks的评论:
Let me also add one thing: In America, tall people do havesome advantages. Your husband is 6'3'' which puts him in a good position -- he probably is confident about his height throughout his life. Short men in America are more likely wanting tall women. This is something I observed.

Yes, agree. A lot of men like petite lady, but few like small men. See, it's unfair for us :)

亚裔女子跨族裔婚姻比例大大高于亚裔男子(3.1:1),原因可能是. 其它族裔对亚裔男子的身材比对女子更在意
--Let's see. I am 5 foot 3(160cm) and I like tall men - call me shallow. When I lived in China, I liked a guy who was 180cm. He liked me all that but he thought I was a little too short for him. After I moved to America I met my current husband who is 6 foot 3. He told me he likes Asian women because we are petite. He does not like tall women - he just does not find them sexy.
So - they do care about 亚裔女子身材 but they have different opinions on what beauty is.
