The Bumble Height Filter graph that was parroted all over the entire internet and manosphere was fabricated. Bumble themselves have denied the information in the graph as well. Height has "at most" a very small influence on the majority of men's number of sexual encounters, relationship status, and fertility.
~—• Introduction •—~
- Two traits dominate the blackpill sphere that blackpillers say are a determinant on your dating success in life (and sometimes overall success in general.): Height and Face.
- Nuancepill is taking a look into heights effect on celibacy in this article.
- Although women do state they have a preference for taller men, these preferences show weak predicitive validity during speed dating selections.
- Although shorter men have more of a penalty for shortness, than advantage for tallness, what degree does this actually affect men?

~—• The Bumble graph: fake news? •—~
- A graph that went viral online for showing height filters set by women Bumble users is fake.
- The graph cites Statista as a source, however if you go to Statista, the graph is nonexistent.
- Furthermore, a redditor reached out to bumble about this graph, and bumble stated "We don't release this kind of data about members on our platform. Unfortunately, the graphics/data/statistics you may often see on social platforms are not generated by Bumble."

~—• Conclusion •—~
- Misleading graphs and/or fake graphs are being spread on the internet.
- This leads to worry as graphs do not have to include real data and it will go viral, and barely anyone questioning its validity.
- "It’s not surprising that many were ready to accept any negative information regarding dating apps given how much frustration they generate, but if the height pill reflects a brutal truth, then it shouldn't be necessary to fabricate graphs."
- Height has "at most" a very small influence on mens # of sexual encounters, relationship status and fertility.

"They (Lookism blackpillers) also present themselves as objective data lovers interested only in the cold hard facts. What the data quite consistently demonstrates however is that physical characteristics have at best small effects on dating/sexual outcomes, and psychological characteristics and behaviour actually have greater predictive power."
~—• My Input •—~
Not much to say. This research article said everything relevant to this topic. Data can be easily fabricated / manipulated and the redpill / blackpill loves to report on these false graphs to $ sell $ you a narrative. Either for people to cope and not put the blame on themselves or to $ sell $ you a product.
