Studies have shown that men over 5ft 10 are more likely to get married and have children.<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, research has proven that the opposite is true with women.\u00a0 Women of below average height ( under 5ft 2) are more likely to have a husband and kids.<\/p>\n<p>This might be because taller women often reach puberty later than shorter ones and are deemed as less fertile, although science doesn&#8217;t back this up.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<p>The theory is that short women look for taller men as they want to make sure their children are born with average height.<br \/>\nThe good news is that once you meet face to face then height usually stops being an issue.\u00a0 Common sense comes into play and other factors such as looks, personality and sense of humour will always in over.<br \/>\nSo my advice is for women to be more realistic and you&#8217;ll end up with more dates.\u00a0 If you are only short yourself then don&#8217;t set your expectations too &#8220;high.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Likewise, if you are a tall lady then it&#8217;s daft to make yourself even more so wearing high heels as you&#8217;ll just make things harder for yourself.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, if you are a shorter man then make the most of everything else you have going for you!<\/p>\n<p>Well, that&#8217;s my opinion &#8211; what&#8217;s yours?<\/p>\n<p>James Preece &#8211; The Dating Guru<\/p>\n<p>www.asiansinglesolution.com<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m purposely making this blog a little controversial &#8211; in the hope that some of you will add your own thoughts!
