I don't have a problem with people having preferences. I have a problem with people having preferences yet bytching and complaining when others have preferences that apply to them. It's stupid when women complain about males having a weight preference or any other preferences while they defend their own preferences to death.
There's no need to cater to those type of people and be guilt tripped into having no preferences. It's not even just about height, but others can catch hate because of their race, skin tone, hair and anything else. I'll stop having preferences when everyone else stops spewing their hateful comments about others while defending their own preferences.
