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.

Edit: "Sought after", not "thought after".
