I just watched the same report. They actualy used tall women (they said 
so), so what did you expect. If they had some short women selecting among 
tall men you would see some shallowness of a different variety. It seems 
like this report and so much of the other talk I have heard on this 
subject seems to focus on how tall people feel about short people. It 
seems they don't think the feelings of short people about short people 
are significant.

If they had switched because he was a doctor or a millionare, would this 
not also be very shallow?
