A new study confirms there is an unspoken rule among women: Don't settle for a short man.
The researchers first analyzed data from online dating ads posted by about 450 men and 470 women across the United States. The men had an average age of 36 and an average height of 5 feet, 8 inches, while the women had an average age of 35 and an average height of 5 feet, 4 inches.
Although 13.5 percent of men wanted to date only shorter women, 49 percent of women wanted to date only taller men.
The researchers then conducted an online survey of 54 men (with an average height of 5 feet, 9 inches) and 131 women (average height 5 feet, 4 inches) at a U.S. university. They found that 37 percent of the men wanted to date only women shorter than them, while 55 percent of the women wanted to date only men taller than them.
