Psychologists advise: in order not to make a mistake in choosing a partner, you should not give great importance in his words - better take a closer look at him.
The conclusion that height matters in mate choice is based on observations of ten thousand people born in March 1958.
Dr. Daniel Nettle's team from the National Center for Child Development (UK) monitored the health and social status of study participants for many years. And in 2000, when they were 42 years old, scientists analyzed the data and came to surprising conclusions.
Turns out, men
those with a height of 183 cm were more likely to be fathers than men
height 177 cm. In addition, they were more likely to get married and preferred women shorter than them. At the same time, they got married more successfully and gave birth more often women
height on average 162 cm.
High men are considered more sexually attractive, explains Dr. Nettle. - But they themselves often fall in love with women shorter than themselves because, as males, they feel that small females have a greater ability to bear children. This is confirmed by doctors: low women reach sexual maturity faster, while tall ones spend more energy on growth.
A women I like tall large ones men for two reasons. Firstly, in the subconscious women Since primitive times, the attitude has been preserved: a large male is the best breadwinner. Secondly, people are getting taller every year - over the past fifty years, the average height has increased by 8 centimeters. We are predicted to grow another 5 centimeters in the next fifty years. That is, from an evolutionary point of view, taller people are the most progressive. And ladies always strive to have offspring from more advanced males. Therefore, the alliances between “basketball players” and “inches” are the strongest.
How to measure quantity love per centimeter growth?
Polish anthropologist Dr. Boguslaw Pawlowski discovered that in married couples, money and mutual respect play less of a role than ratio. growth. Last year he conducted a study and found that for the well-being of a marriage man should be 1.09 times higher women .
The most striking example of character incompatibility is the actors Nicole Kidman (180 cm) and Tom Cruise (170 cm), whose index is 0.94. Other couples do not satisfy this condition, for example, Prince Charles (168 cm) and his current wife Camilla Parker-Bowles (170 cm) - 1.01. For now they are together, but, according to psychologists, a quarrel is not far off.
Successful marriages of British Prime Minister Tony Blair (172 cm) and his wife Sherry (156 cm) - index 1.10; actors Jennifer Aniston (157 cm) and Brad Pitt (175 cm) - 1.11; football player David Beckham (183 cm) and his wife Victoria (168 cm) - 1.09.
In general, human growth is programmed by genes. Therefore, it is very stupid to blame or reproach a person for being too low. Only women are able to “increase” their height with the help of platforms, stilettos and heels. They even forget about the inconvenience of wearing such shoes. What lengths you will go to for the sake of beauty and “pretty”!
If a woman is taller than a man, then many women really have a complex when a short “little guy” walks next to them. This may indicate that the woman (towards him) does not have any warm and real feelings! It turns out that centimeters of height can play the role of an excellent check for their absence or presence!
A couple of days ago I sat with a friend in a cafe. She very inspiredly told me about one boy. She praised him in every possible way and showered him with compliments. I was even happy. But then a friend said that she had not yet decided to be with him, because he was shorter than her, and she was very complex about this. And to convince her of anything, as I realized, was absolutely useless. Apparently she doesn't love him! If I loved you, I would think differently.
I personally know one wonderful couple... They are my relatives. My husband has a sister. She is very tall. Her husband is two heads shorter than her. And there were never any jokes or questions about their noticeable differences in height! Firstly, they have been together for eight years. Secondly, the couple already has two cool children. The family is amazing! Awesome role model. And I am writing this not because they are my relatives. You need to know this family to understand my words!
ABOUT! How could I forget about this man! He is short - short. I have known him since childhood. We were never friends. They fought and swore more often than they communicated normally! Then we parted ways. We haven’t seen or communicated for more than ten years. Suddenly he found me in social network and “sent a friend request.” It was somewhat inconvenient to refuse (I have never refused to communicate with anyone, or to provide assistance). To my surprise... We began to communicate with him often and well. He even (hard to believe) made obvious attempts to apologize to me for his bad past. Then we agreed to meet at our common best friend. We met, although I already thought that this would not happen. After all, it was impossible to reach him, since the phone was “silently” turned off. I came to see a friend. After a couple of hours, Sergei also “caught up”. He hasn't changed a bit. And he didn’t even grow a centimeter. But his girls were always tall and pretty! Despite the fact that many did not accept Sergei for who he is.
There is also a big “plus” in all of this (in some strange “non-acceptance” of short stature). Anyway…. In my life. My mother “kept secret” to me that she had not dated a guy she liked for a long time, only because of his small stature. What's the luck? And the fact is that if mommy had stayed with him, then my sister and I would not have been in the world (they, naturally, would have had other children). In general, you don’t need to take my prejudices seriously! Just…. I remembered. I was indignant for a long time after such mother’s stories. I always thought that my mother was not like that.
Is the woman clearly taller than the man? This has long ceased to be any reason for discussion or condemnation! Now you will read something that you might like. The shorter the man... The larger (in size) his sexual organ! Short men are very temperamental in bed and can give a woman a lot. All in all…. Every woman's dream!
Men who are short in stature have something to brag about! For example…. Size of genital organs. And this also happens. You can also safely believe that the size of the penis does not depend in any way on height. That is, both tall and short men “have” both big and small size"main" organ.
We can say with confidence that a man (short) loves sex and never refuses any variety in his intimate life. By the way, he fulfills absolutely all the “bed” desires of a woman. He does this sincerely, without demanding any reciprocity (in terms of fulfillment of desires).
Many “peasants” who are deprived of “height” of growth develop complexes and withdraw into themselves. They are afraid to approach and meet women they will like. It seems to them that girls (women) will say a cold “no”. They do not love, do not accept and are very afraid of rejection! But if they are confident in themselves, then they will not hear any refusal!
Scientists have proven that short men are much smarter than tall men. In accordance with this “feature”, men have better developed speed of movement and speed of thinking. Short men are fast (quick) in everything that needs to be done quickly!
If there is love, then no one will pay attention to growth. If there is no love, you can “catch on” to anyone and anything. Why is there so much talk about complexes here? Because they are the ones who can ruin everything that fate is trying to create!

Look around and you will notice that we will be surrounded by couples where the man is at least a little taller than the woman. In life, it is quite rare to encounter couples where the girl is taller. But why do women choose tall ones?
Psychologists and researchers from almost all countries are trying to answer this question. Scientists have come to the conclusion that this state of affairs was formed in ancient times. Our ancestors always chose tall men because they were stronger and more resilient, and therefore could provide protection for their family. Scientists have proven that tall men have always been more successful and held high positions in the government system. Although, it cannot be denied that short male representatives also played an important role in world history.
Another reason for choosing tall men is heredity. Women, on a subconscious level, strive to choose a partner who will give good offspring and pass on the best genes.
Experts from different countries have come to the conclusion that tall men are more successful. They get married faster, find jobs and reach top positions. Doctors have come to the conclusion that tall men endure illness much more easily and live longer than short men. Although doctors do not deny that tall people have a high risk of cancer.
Do girls like tall guys? The reasons for preference may be different, but we can safely say that any girl will say - yes, they like it!
Let us note that in our time, as in the past, girls take their choice of partner quite seriously. At the same time, short guys are almost never considered as sexual partner. But what are the reasons why the fair half of humanity prefers tall guys?
Some girls feel a sense of security next to a tall man. And for women it is very important to have support in the person of a man. Some people just want to wear high heels without looking down on their significant other. Many people think that next to a short guy they don’t look good or attractive enough. And hundreds more answers that are not similar to each other.
Note that only with a superficial acquaintance do women pay attention to height. In the future, girls give preference inner world and personal qualities. But there are also selfish people among the female half, for whom money remains the primary selection criterion.
But what about short guys? Definitely, don't despair. It is more difficult for them to meet girls, but because of this they develop confidence and assertiveness. And sooner or later they win the favor of even a tall girl.
Men are not so categorical when choosing a partner. Short guys feel much more confident compared to tall girls. Their self-esteem increases, and they strive with all their might to keep the girl next to them. They are more attentive and romantic.
Tall men are not so active in relationships, because attention is paid to them anyway. They are more picky in choosing their partner. So what kind of women do tall men like? It’s difficult to answer this question, because it all depends on the man’s taste. One thing can be said for sure: there should be a girl nearby either of the same height or a little shorter. Very tall guys feel uncomfortable when a rather short girl is next to him, although there are exceptions. It's all a matter of taste.
“...You can jump from a bridge And you won’t leave your post, But you’re very short...” When the portly Lolita Milyavskaya sang the song “Little”, addressing her husband at that time, Alexander Tsekalo, the audience was touched.

Good and that's it!
But a bright show is one thing, and harsh reality is quite another. Ask a thousand women the question: “What is he like?” (meaning only appearance), and the truth will be revealed to you. Ladies will dream about gentlemen of all stripes and varying degrees fatness, but probably not one will say: “He must be short!” By the way, let’s be clear right away: short men automatically include everyone who has reached 20 years of age, but has not reached 170 centimeters in height.
So why are beautiful girls in no hurry to “get their hands on” suitors below the coveted figure? And what is generally known about these “little princes”?
“It’s not me, it’s the ancestors”
There is nothing surprising in the fact that the female population prefers “Uncle Step” rather than “big men”. The distant ancestors must be blamed for this. More precisely, the basic instinct. Tall guys are the best suited for his well-known goals: they have a better chance of killing a mammoth and emerging victorious from a fight with a saber-toothed tiger. And their offspring will be strong. But these days you can buy mammoth meat for dinner in any store, and saber-toothed tigers are found only in computer games. However, the fair sex is in no hurry to turn its gaze towards short men. Not only do women not see them as breadwinners and protectors, but they also subconsciously perceive them as children. And the maternal instinct is no match for the basic one.
Female look:“I’ve never had anything against short men. But once I met someone like him, it was then that it turned out that prejudices about “compact” boyfriends are not alien to me.
His name was Yaroslav. What's it like? Yaroslav is a two-meter tall Russian hero with a thick beard and kind eyes, and this one... In general, to his friends he was Yarik. I think he was a little taller than one and a half meters - I didn’t dare ask for his exact height, but clearly less than my “meter sixty-five”. Blue-eyed, brunette, well-built, it would seem that he has everything with him. But I could portray broad-mindedness only when I was sitting with Yarik in a cafe, and his true “dimensions” were not noticeable. As soon as he got up from the table, I wanted to immediately crawl under the same table. In case acquaintances appear and see a “big” person in company. Apparently, Yarik felt this and, as if in justification, said that his friends called him a gnome. I smiled unkindly and thought: “You still don’t know how they call you behind your back.”
When he arrived in a huge new foreign car, I was speechless and remembered Freud with his damn sublimation. However, if he had arrived on the Oka, it would have been even funnier. The shock was repeated when Yarik showed up on a date wearing pointed shoes. I couldn’t get rid of fantasies about Little Mook all evening. The next time I was confused by his huge sneakers. He seemed to be dragging his feet, although in fact the guy was moving quite quickly. Here I must add that next to Yarik, my mother’s favorite, the Pekingese Styopa, was trotting along. As they say, you can’t invent it on purpose.
And finally, when, upon meeting, a friend asked: “How is your elf doing?”, I decided that’s enough! Let him find himself a Thumbelina, a princess and a pea, anyone: Thumb and his girlfriend should be a fairy-tale character, and not an ordinary girl of average height. Although it’s a pity, his character and sense of humor are amazing!”
Small and smart
Still, being short has its advantages.
According to psychologists, most short people consider themselves “second-class citizens.” An unpleasant obsessive thought often pushes them to do great things, and their names end up in the tablets of history forever.
In confirmation of this fact, Napoleon (1.62 meters) is usually called. He is credited with the phrase: “If I can’t become tall, I will become great!” - and the complex that torments short men was named in his honor. In principle, in some cases we must say thank you to the “Napoleon complex”: painful pride and the desire to overtake one’s rivals helped many famous people become famous. You already know about Bonaparte, in the same list are Alexander the Great, Suvorov, Pushkin, and also, whether you like it or not, Hitler, Lenin, Stalin... And more recent examples: literally “above the sky” the first Soviet citizen with a height of 158 centimeters. His name was Yuri Gagarin.
The Italian singer Pupo was not ashamed of his tiny sprout, but, on the contrary, made it a trademark, a brand, because “pupo” is translated from Italian as “baby”. The tiny Italian drove (and probably still does) millions of women around the world crazy.
Such “stars” as Al Pacino, Dustin Hoffman, Tom Cruise and our relatives Andrei Gubin, Oleg Gazmanov and Alexander Serov do not rise too much above the earth’s surface. For some reason, when looking at them, they don’t notice that the idols are “two inches tall from a pot.” Maybe it's the uplifting power of art?
Short men have another attractive quality in love affairs. According to the well-known “law of compensation” (if there is loss in one place, then gain in another), short men have great masculine strength. Fazil Iskander even dedicated the story “The Little Giant of Big Sex” to this phenomenon. Andrology specialists have revealed the secret of the increased love of short people: they are “victims” of early puberty (10-12 years), whose growth stopped prematurely due to the riot of hormones. Such precocious comrades can join earlier, lead it more actively and longer than their lanky brothers.
The other side of the coin
It's time to talk about other features of those who are short. Let's turn to folk wisdom. In addition to the proverb “The spool is small but expensive,” our ancestors also loved to say: “The bug is small, but stinking.” Just like that, you say, they offended a bug?
It’s good if a low man (again, we’re not talking about thoughts) asserts himself in politics and business or devotes his soul to writing poetry. It’s bad when he takes out his resentment about the imperfection of the world and his short stature on his loved ones or subordinates. Here, rest assured: he will drink a lot of blood. It has long been noted that the “little Tsakhes” are capable of the most bilious comments and cynical antics, and in dealing with household members they are simply little despots. Another unpleasant trait is cockiness. It doesn’t matter that the offender is basketball-sized and has big fists, the angry little guy rushes into a fight. Russian classics have a lot of stories where some “mosquito” in a drunken spirit always caused a brawl.
...Alas, it will not be possible to name well-known representatives of the “minor demon”, since these comrades prefer to commit outrages in narrow circle, and their name is unknown to the general public. But we can give another example. One woman was often beaten by her husband. The “piquantness” of the situation is that the lady was of gigantic proportions, and the husband, on the contrary, was a “little sparrow.” Of course it's stormy family life could not hide from the eyes and ears of her neighbors. When they asked the sufferer why she couldn’t reason with the fighter with one click, she good-naturedly replied: “At least let him feel like a man at home!” What can I say: the ideal wife for short men overcome by an inferiority complex and passions is an all-forgiving mother woman, preferably tall and curvy. Apparently it's a matter of opposites attracting.
"Third figure, sad"
And finally, the saddest case: it happens that short men deliberately stop communicating with others and withdraw into themselves. They even avoid short women, believing that in their eyes they will look extremely insignificant. The fear of being ridiculed forces them to immerse themselves in their own world: books, computers, collecting and... eternal. And desperate actions are just a stone's throw from her. Thus, recently Swedish sociologists came to a sad conclusion: short men are twice as likely to commit suicide than their tall counterparts. According to scientists, the high percentage of suicides is explained by discrimination in personal life and labor activity. Moreover, suicidal tendencies are observed mainly in young and middle-aged men; it has nothing to do with pensioners.
Appreciate those who are shorter
Now, “dear experts”, attention – a question! What conclusion follows from all that has been said: is a short man a sad angel, an ambitious short man or a tiny tyrant? The answer is banal: he is a man like the others. That's right, only shorter, and this is not a flaw, but a feature. So let's not feel sorry for the unfortunate, but give credit to the worthy. And in this regard, there is a lot to learn from the stronger half of humanity.
Word to the man: “I work in a male team. The guys got what they needed, jokers and wits. One day we got a new employee, Vasya, who, frankly, is not tall. At first there were attempts to tease him, saying that “I ate little porridge as a child” or “except for children under 16.” But Vasya came out of the situation with such dignity every time that we quickly realized that he was a world-class guy! And, thank God, he was calm about his “miniature”, did not try to wear platform boots or high-heeled shoes, like the gypsy barons.
And recently they began to notice that Vasya was sad, walking as if he had been submerged in water. It turns out that the girl he started courting said that she was not interested in “pocket men.” That’s when I realized what male solidarity means! The guys stopped working and vying with each other to calm Vasily down, all that could be heard was: “She’s a fool, she doesn’t understand anything about men!.. Yes, we’ll introduce you to such beauties, you’ll rock!” And indeed, they introduced each other. The girls may not have model appearance, but they are cheerful, our Vasisuali perked up... But they still gave him a nickname - Arnoldushka, in honor of Schwarzenegger. But he’s not offended!”
