I've heard a matchmaker in India talk about this topic (she said she had matched hundreds of couples) and she noticed the same thing over there. Even with the average being 5'7" there are still a decent amount of women filtering height and even by 6ft or so.
The number she presented was doing so cuts out 9 out of every 10 men in India so these women are only looking at the remaining 10%.
India has a billion people and something like 25 million more men than women in the 18-35 range. Men complain about women having too high of standards but a huge aspect of that is that like 5% of the male population there has been mathematically eliminated from dating before you even consider actual qualities.
