Is height important in matters of the heart? According to new research from Rice University and the University of North Texas, the height of a potential partner matters more to women than to men, and mostly for femininity and protection.The study, “Does Height Matter? An Examination of Height Preferences in Romantic Coupling,” was conducted in two parts. Part one, which used data from the Yahoo! personal dating advertisements of 455 males (average height of 5 feet 8 inches and average age of 36 years) and 470 females (average height of 5 feet 4 inches and average age of 35 years) from throughout the U.S., found that 13.5 percent of the men wanted to date only women shorter than they are. In contrast, nearly half of the women — 48.9 percent — wanted to date only men taller than they are.”Evolutionary psychology theory argues that ‘similarity is overwhelmingly the rule in human mating,’” said Michael Emerson, the Allyn and Gladys Cline Professor of Sociology, co-director of Rice’s Kinder Institute for Urban Research and the study’s co-author. “However, our study suggests that for physical features such as height, similarity is not the dominant rule, especially with females.”The second part of the study included 54 male (average height of 5 feet 9 inches) and 131 female volunteers (average height of 5 feet 4 inches) recruited from a U.S. university. The participants answered open-ended questions in an online survey. The findings were similar to the first part of the study: 37 percent of male respondents wanted to date only women shorter than they are, while 55 percent of female respondents wanted to date only men taller than they are.According to the study data, the dominant reasons females cited for preferring a tall partner are matters of protection and femininity.”As the girl, I like to feel delicate and secure at the same time,” said a woman in the study who is 5 feet 3 inches tall. …
