You can either let stories like this drive you insane or you can continue working on your health, finances and social life.
As me and others have said: if everyone's preferences were requirements, then there would be no short men. There would be no flat chested or flat assed women around. People with genetic mutations that make it hard for them to gain weight would be the vast majority of the population. Dentists would be out of business, lesbians would all be rich because theyd only date women who make more money and are taller than them etc. All these "undesirable" People would have been bred out of existence and most people would be a minimum of 6 feet. The average meat would be 8 inches long, the average cup size would be DD and hips would be a minimum of 42.
If that sounds ridiculous that's because IT IS. People in real life have a vast majority of preferences. There are men that will only date women shorter than 5'5. There are women who will only date men who wear size 32 trousers. There are men who only date BBWs and there are women who only date men that look like out of shape pro wrestlers(aka men with 'dad bods') there are men who only date women over the age of 30 because they find the average 20-something to be too immature and there are women who feel the same way even if *they* are in their 20s. People are individuals with individual experiences that affect their preferences.
What this data shows is what people who use dating apps are looking for, not what they'd be looking for if they didnt use the apps and were just out in person talking to people. Men ESPECIALLY are wasting their time on these apps because women will tell you to your face about how their husband or boyfriend didn't seem like anything special when they first met him, but after getting to know him she realized that she wanted him and was scared of fumbling that man after speaking to so many men she's incompatible with. Men are at their best when we can talk and express ourselves in person. When I used the apps I also encountered women who looked okay or mid in their pictures but then in person they were built like jazz the stallion or they had a smile that couldn't be captured in pictures or a sense of humor that doesn't translate to text.
Water seeks its own level. Shallow people look for shallow traits and then when they get what they thought they wanted, they realize they want more and move on. It's how the most masculine men you can think of end up getting divorced and the most beautiful women you've ever met have ex boyfriends and/or husbands.
