Researchers in Konkuk University South Korea have just completed a study analysing the differences in height of couples and how it affects their relationship. Generally, girls prefer a man who’s a few inches taller than them, but this study has concluded that it’s more than just a preference.

After following the relationships of almost 8,000 women, they found that the greater the height difference between the husband and wife, the happier they are!

One of the researchers, Kitae Sohn said, “Women evolved to prefer tall men because they were perceived to be stronger, and naturally they are happy when they have what they like.”

The height difference doesn’t become as important over time, with the study finding that after 18 years of marriage, the difference in height becomes completely irrelevant to the happiness ratio.

Do you like your men tall?
