Women love tall men. Why do women choose tall men? He always eats more than you.

The issue of height for many men is one of the main ones when dealing with a woman. It's no secret that many representatives of the strong half of humanity often have complexes because of their short stature. So why is it so important for ladies to have a high gentleman?

If you look around, you will see that most of the couples around you (and possibly yourself) look approximately the same: he is at least a few centimeters taller than her. But always higher! It is very rare to find a couple in which the man is inferior to his chosen one in height. Why is this happening?

On average, for a thousand couples in which the man is taller than the woman, there is only 1 couple in which the woman rises above her partner. This is an incredibly small percentage. Since society dictates certain rules in relation to the growth of partners, let's try to figure out why this is happening.

Recent studies have yielded very interesting results. As it turns out, being tall brings happiness. As a rule, tall men get married and have children faster. Among them, the smallest percentage of bachelors. They also earn more on average. Small people, according to statistics, are unlikely to make a brilliant career.

Since ancient times, it has been believed that height is one of the main characteristics of masculinity. Tall men are perceived by society as dominant, able to achieve more. In the course of evolution, people have realized and accepted as a fact that large (including tall) men are able to provide greater protection for their offspring, as well as endow them (offspring) with good genes that will provide children with a great future.

Judge for yourself - it is easier for a tall man to catch up, break and drag home a mammoth, because he has a stronger skeleton, long legs, tenacious hands. And the primitive society was built on the principle "who brought more, he received more." The most successful hunters got the best women and pieces of meat. So, since ancient times, the idea has been sitting in ladies that physically developed men (which undoubtedly include high representatives of the stronger sex) will better provide life for themselves and their loved ones.

Today, scientists argue that high growth matters, as it is an indicator of the high standard of living of the population. The average population growth is a very sensitive indicator of the well-being of a society. Not surprisingly, wealthy-country residents are taller, simply because their childhood diet was high in calories and the air in these countries is less polluted. But a high standard of living does not necessarily guarantee that a society will prosper for its children.

Many studies have shown that illness and malnutrition in childhood often leads to the fact that in adulthood this person is small in stature. It also affects the risk of developing heart and other diseases that shorten life expectancy.

Thus, even in the modern world, a tall man tells us that in childhood he did not get sick with anything, but in adulthood he got a good job.

In addition to genetic memory, a woman's decision is also influenced by public opinion, which also encourages tall men. For example, tall men are considered more successful in their studies and careers, and therefore their social status significantly exceeds the social status of undersized rivals. To join the high social status of a partner is not averse to his chosen one.

There are other factors that influence a woman's decision to choose a tall man as her life partner.
Since women, as one, prefer tall ones, then why don't we all still date basketball players? The answer is obvious - a woman is not interested in male height as an absolute indicator - it is important for her how his height correlates with her own. A man simply has to be taller than his woman, and how much he does not reach the average male height at the same time does not matter.

There are studies according to which the height of a man should be 1.09 times the height of a woman. According to scientists, it is these indicators that can become the basis for the ideal growth of a child. That is, with my 173 cm, the height of my chosen one should be 188.5 cm. Not bad.

Thus, the girl determines for herself a certain sample of men with whom she is ready to start building relationships. It turns out, however, that very small women and very tall men are practically unlimited in their choice of partners. True, in reality this is not entirely true.
The choice of a woman is not a little influenced by her ... cycle. It has been scientifically proven that during the period of ovulation, women tend to choose tall men more often. This is all connected with the same desire to give birth to the healthiest possible offspring. Also, women prefer to choose tall ones if they just want sex for one night. But for creating a family, growth is no longer so important.

A much more significant criterion in choosing a life partner for a woman are such factors as intelligence, kindness, responsibility, as well as the position held and annual income.

The growth of the average Russian characterizes the health of the nation most fully, since it depends on such basic factors as nutrition, the state of the environment and medical care.

The economic upheavals of the 1990s will still affect the growth of future generations. According to Russian scientists, many children born after 1990 will end up being shorter than they could be. The deterioration of living conditions, and especially nutrition, came into conflict with their genetic program, because the global trend is that humanity is steadily growing. Already, the Russians are losing much in average height to the Europeans - especially the Scandinavians.

Although tall people are more at risk of developing cancer, they still live longer than short people. And American scientists even argue that an extra five centimeters above the average male height cause the frequent development of testicular cancer in young men under 35 years old.

In conclusion, it is worth noting that women do subconsciously choose a partner who would be able to provide a good future for their family. However, if earlier only physical development was enough to ensure this future, today the winner is the one who studied better at school, found a good job and managed to buy a house on Rublyovka during the crisis.

Why do many men like it when a woman is taller, while women themselves experience psychological discomfort?

Yet most men like it when a woman is shorter than him or matches his height. And we find confirmation of this in biology. After all, the male in nature and normally is often larger than the female. That is why most women still prefer a taller and larger man. According to the biological strategy of choosing a partner, a man should be a good breadwinner and protector. A big defender is more attractive. That is why women like tall men more often.
Some men prefer women who are taller than they are. Of these, three groups can already be distinguished. One considers women as mothers. With them, they feel calmer, more secure. And this is a kind of delay, stuck in psychosexual development, a manifestation of the Oedipus complex. With mutual adaptation, such a couple can feel complimentary and even organic. Another group of such men regards a woman as a trophy. Such men choose not only tall women, but also, for example, large cars. Often this is a compensation mechanism. In the perception of this group of men, the possession of something, in their opinion, is good, and a vivid demonstration of this to others is confirmation, proof of their significance in their own eyes and in the eyes of others. These men actually need psychotherapy, but they themselves often do not realize this and seek help only after serious life upheavals. And another group is fixed at the stages of psychosexual development by imprinting. Height is a fetish, such as big breasts or long hair. These men may have normal self-esteem, and just the right taste.

Look around and you will notice that we will be surrounded by couples where the man is at least a little bit taller than the woman. In life, couples are quite rare where the girl is taller. But why do women choose tall ones?

Psychologists and researchers in 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 grandparents always chose tall men because they were stronger and more resilient, which means they could provide protection to their family. Scientists have proven that tall men have always been more successful and held high positions in the state system. Although, it cannot be denied that low males also played an important role in world history.

Another reason for choosing tall men is heredity. Women, on a subconscious level, seek to find a partner who will give good offspring, 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 higher positions. Physicians have come to the conclusion that tall men endure illnesses much more easily and live longer than short men. Although doctors do not deny that high people have a high probability of cancer.

What do the girls themselves think about the growth of men?

Do girls like tall guys? The reasons for preferences may be different, but we can safely say that any girl will say - yes, they like it!

Note that in our time, as in the past, girls are quite serious about choosing a partner. At the same time, short guys are almost never considered as a sexual partner. But what are the reasons why the beautiful 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 face of a man. Someone just wants to wear high heels and not look down on their soul mate. Many people think that next to a short guy they don’t look good enough and attractive enough. And hundreds more answers that are not similar to each other.

Note that only with a superficial acquaintance, women pay attention to growth. In the future, girls give preference to the inner world and personal qualities. But there are also mercenary persons among the female half, for whom money remains the primary selection criterion.

But what about short guys? Definitely, do not despair. It is more difficult for them to meet girls, but because of this, they develop confidence and assertiveness in themselves. And sooner or later they achieve the location of even a tall girl.

What do men think about their height?

A man is not so categorical when choosing a partner. Short guys feel much more confident compared to tall girls. Their self-esteem rises, 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 soul mate. So what kind of women do tall men like? It is difficult to answer this question, because it all depends on the taste of a man. One thing can be said for sure, that there should be a girl nearby either of the same height or a little lower. 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.

Many girls dream of a guy with a height of 1.85-1.90 centimeters. And it doesn’t matter at all how tall the girl herself is.

Maybe someone will say that having such a tall guy means having constant pain in the neck, but no longer. If you have a tall guy, that's cool.
