A Tall Order
I’m purposely making this blog a little controversial – in the hope that some of you will add your own thoughts!
So today’s blog is all about a common subject of discussion….height.
Why do so many women complain that there aren’t enough tall men? Do shorter men suffer when it comes to getting dates?
There does seem to be a link between social deprivation and height. Studies have shown that men over 5ft 10 are more likely to get married and have children.
Interestingly, research has proven that the opposite is true with women. Women of below average height ( under 5ft 2) are more likely to have a husband and kids.
This might be because taller women often reach puberty later than shorter ones and are deemed as less fertile, although science doesn’t back this up.
We’ve found that many of our female members on our online dating site are looking for a man at least 4 inches taller than themselves.
The theory is that short women look for taller men as they want to make sure their children are born with average height.
The good news is that once you meet face to face then height usually stops being an issue. Common sense comes into play and other factors such as looks, personality and sense of humour will always in over.
So my advice is for women to be more realistic and you’ll end up with more dates. If you are only short yourself then don’t set your expectations too “high.”
Likewise, if you are a tall lady then it’s daft to make yourself even more so wearing high heels as you’ll just make things harder for yourself.
Finally, if you are a shorter man then make the most of everything else you have going for you!
Well, that’s my opinion – what’s yours?
