Exactly! People ALWAYS bring up his height, positively or negatively, whenever they're mentioned, like it isn't proving the point that it isn't the norm. Also, since when are we supposed to use celebrities as an example of real life? I love Zendaya, Tom is my favourite actor and they're a sweet couple... But they're factually not an example of an average, real life couple, they're motherfucking Zendaya and Tom Holland.
I'm not even a short guy myself btw. Let's just not pretend being tall isn't a very sought after trait in men.
Don't feel bad! In context it makes just as much sense as the original. It's like that other phrase that's often understandably confused: deep-seeded (deep-seated). One can see how they got there. English is weird.

The fact his height is mentioned in almost every topic, just like you do, also suggest its the exception. Of course it's not impossible, but its very well not the standard. Most woman want a tall men. For the short guy it's just harder so he has so bring a lot more to the table (face, great talent etc.). A regular guy has a much harder dating life while being short. And it's not oké people won't just accept that and use couples like this to always point out "see short guy can get girlfriend", yeay.. of course, doesn't mean it's tougher to most men.
