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!
