Quote from: The Dreamer on October 08, 2017, 09:30:24 AMI read your article.It is clearly stated that among the partecipants of the study "some saw ony the face" and "some saw only the body". It is obvious that when women will see ONLY the face,they will choose the better one.
But in real life this won't happen since we value face+body.
It is clearly an useless study since when men/women choose their partner,they have an overall opinion on both body and face.
Height is synonymous of masculinity and protection.Women seek that since they feel beauty is a female prerogative.It is an ancestral thought
With "documented" i mean also the infinite Youtube videos which are more reliable than those " studies ".
Look at them,usually guys ask them which one prefer,also often ask them if they would prefer a short handsome guy or a tall average guy.The majority says the second one
But I don't need youtube videos for knowing that,I see this everyday in my life's experience
Edit: here a link of an opposite study www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2557540/Height-DOES-matters-Women-want-men-taller-make-feel-protected-feminine.html
There are tons of studies like this,way more reliable than the less half page that you've linked
Wow, you found a study that proves that height matters. Impressive!
Sadly, nobody is discussing that height matters. We all know that, and that's why we are planning to break our legs, for fks sake. We are saying that a "shortish" man (not a midget) with a beautiful face usually have more success with ladies than a ugly, average height guy.
The article does not address that question, as far as I know (I have to admit that I didn't read it carefully because I'm not very fond of British tabloids... Actually, I would be really skeptical of anything coming from such a "source")
However, I found this interesting:
QuoteIn contrast, nearly half of the women – 48.9 per cent – wanted to date only men taller than they are.
So more than half of women would actually date a man shorter than they are?
