Only about 14% of men in the U.S. are over 6 feet tall. Around 25% make $100k or more. If you combine just those two, you’re already down to roughly 3.5% of men. Add in the six-pack requirement, and you’re probably looking at 1% or less.
So, every woman is chasing that 1%.
On the flip side, guys tend to have simpler preferences. They mostly want someone who’s attractive. There are a lot of beautiful women out there at any height and income range.
Maybe women just want men who are better at math than you?

I have a whole range of acceptable heights that still make me feel that they are taller than me. And in some cases, their height doesn't matter.
That’s you. You are part of a small minority. Most women won’t consider dating men who are under 6’
I am a statistician and design lots of surveys. If the question was asked about heigh in cm instead of feet you will get a very different result. If you ask women would 3 cm makes a difference to them 178cm vs 181cm) you will be surprised by the answers. Unfortunately a lot of these surveys about height and other physical preferences are so badly design and the speed at which social media posts travel you get a skewed view of reality.
I also think a big part of this is - women don't actually know how tall men ACTUALLY are! I've seen videos of a man with a tape measure going around, asking men how tall they are. Of course they all say they are 6' (or taller). He asks if he can measure them, and some were like 5'7". Most were 5'8/9/10. Their gfs had no idea how tall they actually were, they just assumed they were 6' because thats what the men told them. So I think (some) women who think 6' have dated men who were actually 5'9" saying they were 6' but because they are shorter than them they couldn't even tell.
There is a lot of data missing from this chart for sure.

Uh no. Women like nice guys. Men who call themselves "nice guys" are men who think you put one "nice" in and one "sex" pops out. And if it doesnt, they get very very non-nice.
If by "nice" you mean agreeable, doesn't like to argue, do as he is told, doesn't voice his preferences/disagreements then the answer is No. Women do not like these men.
You have to have some nuance. Women like men who don’t have a ton of preferences/disagreements, but voice the ones they do have when they come up.
Like I want to be with a man who legitimately doesn’t care that I spent $5k on a mountain bike. Not a guy who thinks I’m an idiot but doesn’t voice it.
I also want him to speak up if I’m going to miss his friends wedding for a girls trip, but he reallly wants me to be there.

This is not 60% of women. It's not even 60% of women on bumble. It's 60% of women, who pay for premium, who bother to set this filter. This isnt even available to most users, since most women don't pay for apps.

This is hardly “all women.” It’s Bumble users. I’d be interested to see how they compare to women as a whole, online dating app users as a whole, and Millenial/Gen Z women a whole.

Why would I want a man who likes to argue and doesn't do anything if I ask? Are you trying to mansplain womens attraction to actual women?
My husband is quite agreeable (but not a Nice Guy(TM) ) as am I. We are both pretty chill, go with the flow, live and let live. We have a very low conflict relationship that works for us. I would not want a domineering man who thinks he can control me through arguments and petty sh*t just because he's a man.

Those arent "nice guys".
"(Internet slang, sarcastic, derogatory) A man who pretends to be kind and polite with the goal of attracting women, often becoming hostile and misogynistic when their advances are rebuffed; someone affected by nice guy syndrome. "

I… just don’t get this take, especially the words “all” and “only.” When I look around, I see many, many men who don’t fit this description who are happily married. Before I was married, my friends and I were looking for kind and compatible, some sort of physical spark, and someone who had or was on their way to a career of some type (and I don’t mean doctor/lawyer/finance, I mean any type of self-sustaining career).
My husband now fits the 6 figures criterion, but we certainly didn’t expect that when we were younger. (He went back to school and switched careers from social work to software development.) 6 feet and a 6 pack were never in the cards. (To me, 6 pack often indicates “vain gym rat” as being strong and healthy does not require this.)
When people say this, they actually talking about stereotypically hot women? The type of women that these men consider to be high-value, and who attach a lot of importance to appearance?
Because if what you’re actually saying is “hot people who highly primarily value looks and money want other hot people who primarily value looks and money,” well, duh. But that’s very, very different than “all” women, and would go both ways with women and men.
Exactly. I'm not sure when or where this phrase caught on, but it's just factually false. If you have eyes, you can look around and see that it's not the case.
These men who can't get laid would rather blame women for only wanting the 6/6/6 than acknowledge they have the personality of a piece of bread, the warmth of a rock and the attitude of a misogynistic troll. It's easier to blame the woman than improve yourself. They also hate women that don't fit their standards - too fat, too flat, too tall, too outspoken, too opinionated, too feminist, too liberal, too many tattoos, too many piercings, too career oriented, etc etc etc. Basically they just hate women if they can't control them and manipulate them into a sex doll.

Head to the nearest beach or amusement park. You will see plenty.
I’m at our community pool right now. Not one dad here under six feet tall or without six pack abs.
The under six-footers are all at home playing Fallout 4.

This is redpill incel talk.
If this were true, you'd see only married men that are 6/6/6, which is far from true. Stop parroting what the tate grifters are selling you.
OP, I say the premise is false. Not all women are into the same thing. I'm sure there are large swaths of men that NO women are into (like this incel), but I'd say the rest of women are into different things and want their men to reflect those different preferences.
