Most Wanted and Richer: Tall Men Are The Favourite

Height DOES matter. It does for the majority of the women at least.

A study on a dating site reveals that women are more likely to date a man taller than they are.

Apparently they feel more comfortable with a tall man on their side. It makes them feel safer and more feminine. 

In fact, according to a study by Konkuk University in Seoul, South Korea the greater the height difference between a married couple, the happier the wife would be.

Moreover, a study by Rice University and the University of North Texas titled "Does  Height Matter? An Examination of Height Preferences in Romantic Coupling" revealed that women do prefer taller partner than they are.

"Biological explanations for height preference suggest that females prefer taller men because of the evolutionary advantages their height provides for them." the study says. 

"However, in contemporary society, technology has neutralized such advantages and there does not seem to be an obvious advantage of height as it concerns protection or the obtaining of resources."

There also are indirect advantages as studies have shown that taller individuals are more financially successful (Judge & Cable, 2004; Kortt & Leigh, 2010). 

Good news for our tall friends!

What Does A Male Plus-Size Model Look Like?

PLUS-SIZE MODELS: OFTEN SEXIER, BUT OFTEN SNUBBED BY THE FASHION INDUSTRY. 

HOWEVER, SOMETHING SEEMS TO BE CHANGING...

We were inspired by a very interesting post from an Italian make-up artist ClioMAKEUP. 

"Plus-size models are often sexier, but, also, often snubbed by the fashion industry. However, something seems to be changing." 

That's what ClioMAKEUP says on her extremely successful blog. 

There is, in fact, the idea, shared by many, for which the canon of beauty would only be one and absolute.

So many times and more and more often it has been discussed the topic about curvy girls, plus size models and all the eating disorders caused by the stereotypical idea of beauty.

In fact, there's been an increasing recognition in the fashion industry towards female plus size models, but what about the big boys?

Well, yes, there are also plus sized male models, who look great and very sexy. It's a shame, though, that there are only a few agencies that have a section for sizes over 52 and that male models sometimes are more discriminated than their female colleagues. 

However, says Clio, something seems to be changing. The world is, slowly, opening its eyes towards this eternal lie, also toward men. Slowly but surely, we're getting there.

One of the most important fashion agency in the world, IMG Models, in fact, hired its first plus sized model, Zach Miko, a 40-inch waist actor and writer, known for Those in Glass Houses (2015), The Wolf of Wall Street (2013) and A Leg Up (2013). Introducing a new over 52 size section, he is the actual first plus-size male model.

So far, in fact, most of the (few) plus-size agencies with a men's section, concentrated in UK and Germany, were specialised and open to other models or oversized men, remaining a real niche.

This is the first step to fight this stereotypical idea of men's body and fix the lack of plus-size male models in the industry. Everybody needs to be represented.

"I don't care if I have ripped abs" Zach Miko says. Certainly, he looks more like the average men, than all the male models that are foisted on us by the fashion industry as the normality and making anybody else feeling bad for not looking like that.

We want someone real to represent us. Having more plus-size models would help de-stigmatize plus-size men and stop this misleading advertising that generates an ill society.
