Tall Men Have More Attractive Partners, says Study
Ladies like to look up.
It turns out the old saying is at least partially true: women really do like they're men tall, dark and handsome. But that doesn't mean short guys have nothing to offer. According to a new study, the tallest men get the prettiest girls, but the shortest ones tend to have more love to give.
In the study, conducted by the United Kingdom's University of Central Lancashire, it was found that tall men "obtain more attractive partners, are less likely to be childless and have a greater number of children than their shorter rivals."
Researchers surveyed 100 men, between the ages of 18 and 72, as short as 5'1" and as tall as 6'5", and asked questions relating to romantic jealousy, relationship satisfaction and if tall men treat their partners differently. The results showed that taller men were less jealous and tended to be happier. However, they also tended to take up more of their partners time and be more confrontational with perceived rivals.
Short men, on the other hand, while being on average more jealous, were found to show more love and care to their partner, perhaps in an attempt to make up for their lack of stature.
Of course, just because your man is tall doesn't mean he's a dirtbag. Also, Danny Devito's borderline dwarfism doesn't make him Casanova. Each one is different, so set expectations accordingly.
