People tend to perceive taller men as more attractive and masculine, and tall women are considered more special because they stand out. Experts say that taller people are more seductive, healthier, dominant, optimistic, and more confident. Find out in this article why you should be tall.

1. Tall women could live longer

According to a study by researchers in the Netherlands, there is a reason why it is good to be tall as a woman. Specifically, height is related to lifespan. Women who excel in height are more likely to reach the age of 90.

The study was conducted on several 8,000 people - men and women aged 55–69 years. They analyzed their height, body mass index, physical activity over the years, more precisely for 3 decades, until they turned 90 years old.

The results of the study showed that women with a body height of 1.70 m are 31% more likely to reach the age of 90 than women with a body height of 1.50 m.

Tall women are admired by men, that's what most study participants said. Height tends to attract, makes women unique, stands out. Usually, tall women want a partner in a relationship who is taller than them.

The researchers also said that older people are starting to lose height because:

  • The cartilage between their joints wears out over time, diminishing over the years
  • Osteoporosis also affects the spine, making it shorter.

2. Height has been associated with stability in relationships

In men, body height was not associated with longevity. In their case, with the help of another study conducted in 2017, on several 7,850 people, respectively couples who were over 18 years of marriage, it was shown that height is related to stability in the couple.

Women are attracted to taller men and less to short men. The study showed that tall men make women happier. A tall man is like a "magnet" for women.

Self-esteem

The explanation was that tall men have higher self-esteem, are more confident, which gives them a feeling of well-being and so they can have a better character. In this way, they can make their partner happier. Self-esteem is very important when it comes to relationships, if the thoughts you have about yourself are positive, loving, you convey a state of well-being, and the people around you notice that. Such people attract, conquer women more easily because they seem more beautiful, more relaxed, and confident.

In general, people who are dissatisfied with their low self-esteem tend to be intimidated by the attitude of confident people and want to gossip or spread "sour" thoughts and ideas about them at all costs. . They are driven by envy for the appearance and attitude that those people have and convey around them. Self-esteem is very important because when you love yourself, you tend to respect yourself more and this is noticed by those around you.

Women prefer tall men

When it comes to relationships, women want a man to be tall, and in addition, they have other requirements that the couple's partner must meet.

In general, women prefer the man to be a little taller than them, a few cm, so that they can wear heels. These are women who measure their height according to their high heels and not their actual height. They want the man to be taller than them, even when they are wearing high heels.

They feel more protected and comfortable with a tall man, and in addition, they consider him even more attractive. Some say that height does not matter, but on the other hand, they consider that they feel more feminine with someone taller than them. Many do not say that height is an issue, but this is the feeling created by a higher partner. Tall men look more protective, more secure for women.

As they get older, men tend to gain extra pounds; if they are small in height, this makes them even less attractive to some women.

Different standards for physical attractiveness

Opinions are probably divided when it comes to body height. What is certain is that each person has his or her standards for the person he or she wants to meet. No one should feel sad, angry, or outraged that a person is looking for something else, that he has his standards.

Just as some men prefer thin women or women with shapes, women prefer taller men than short ones.

The idea is to be respectful of people, whether or not they fit your standards of physical attractiveness. Women shouldn't ridicule short men either, just as men shouldn't ignore women who are heavier if they like those with a figure. Sometimes the physical aspect matters less if the person is compatible with you and is the love of your life.

Tall men are more successful

Researchers also said that tall men tend to have better-paid services, are better seen at work, are considered more capable. In the case of shorter men, it has been observed that they tend to work harder to get the desired results and this often consumes their free time. They place less importance on their personal life, and this makes them less experienced in having a good relationship.

Therefore, height was also related to income. Men who are independent and have sufficient financial means, manage to have happier relationships.

  • What do women think about short men?

According to a YouTube video, tall women believe that:

  • Tall men earn more money a year than short ones
  • Women who have tall men feel more comfortable

Tall men do better in shopping at the supermarket, they reach the top shelves more easily

Many short men have no problem meeting women taller than themselves, although it sometimes makes them feel stronger.

A person who shows up with a taller man, who seems more dominant, creates a better impression in society; she feels more comfortable

Height is related to self-confidence and self-esteem; a taller person will be more confident

Tall men do better in life

Tall women say they've met shorter men, but they haven't felt very comfortable. They admit that they have always wanted to be with someone as tall as them, or even taller than them.
