Have you tried looking for the following variables in the PR file for household members: HB2 and HB3?

Not all surveys collected information on men; which samples are you interested in?

For the 117 samples included in IPUMS-DHS, you can see which samples included biometric (height and weight) data for men, from the following display page. An X means the variable is available in that sample; a dot means there is no such data for that sample. Here, I chose "Household members" as the unit of analysis and Male Anthropometry variables as the group in IPUMS-DHS (at idhsdata.org):
