“The results on partner preferences are a bit discouraging if you’re a short man. In general, women were more likely than men to think that the man should be taller and they tended to not want to be in a relationship in which they were taller than their male partners. Men liked being taller than their partners, but they didn’t care about the height difference as much as women did.”
“According to the study data, the dominant reasons females cited for preferring a tall partner are matters of protection and femininity. “As the girl, I like to feel delicate and secure at the same time,” said a woman in the study who is 5 feet 3 inches tall. “Something just feels weird in thinking about looking ‘down’ into my man’s eyes. There is also something to be said about being able to wear shoes with high heels and still being shorter. I also want to be able to hug him with my arms reaching up and around his neck.”
“One study found that, on average, women’s satisfaction with their partner’s actual height was greatest when he was 21cm taller than themselves. Conversely, men’s satisfaction was greatest with a woman who was 8cm shorter than them. Not only do women want taller men; they seem to favour a bigger height difference than men. … Besides the preference for height, women also tend to show a preference for indicators of dominance in men, such as physical strength and masculine facial features.“
“Self-professed "tall whore" Catherine, 26, says she finds tall men irresistible. … Sarah, 31, is 5'4" and says she “can’t feel an emotion” towards men under 6'3". … Both Sarah and Catherine’s love of Tall Boys is understandable. Multiple studies have shown that height is one of the most appealing physical attributes a heterosexual man can possess.”
