Studies that gauge women's preferences are bullshit and often contradict themselves.
You'll see a study saying women prefer men with facial hair immediately followed by one saying they prefer a clean shave. One study will tell you that women prefer men with sharp facial features and a strong jaw while another will tell you they find babyfaced men cuter and more trustworthy as partners.
Granted, there seems to be a general preference towards height, but what exact figure of height is preferred and how much that preference actually influences partner choice is up to anyone's guess.
