How Tall is the Perfect Man?
Maryann Morgan here, I was emailed this interesting survey about the height women prefer their mate to be. I am 5 feet 8 inches tall. In my dating years, whenever I wore heels I seemed to tower over many of my past boyfriends. Although a tall female is so model-like, whenever I felt like I towered over my man, I was self conscious about being taller and it made me feel like Lurch on The Adams Family. I know, you are saying, “but Lurch was six feet nine inches and you are nowhere near that!” Agreed, but towering over the guy just made me feel like I was the dominating partner and I did not want to take on that role. Although I would have married my husband even if he was a short guy, he happens to be 6 feet 2 inches tall, which allows me to wear stilettos without having a height complex.
Our fantasy man seems to be so much taller than our real-life lovers. New research from the online community for women, Girl Power Girl Strong™ revealed that women desire a man who is over 6 feet tall. As part of the Girl Power Girl Strong’s survey on height preferences in male partners, 76% agreed that they felt most comfortable in a relationship where the man was taller. 25% of those surveyed said 4 to 6 inches and 11% said 6 to 8 inches was the ideal height difference between them and their partner.
According to the CDC, the average adult human male is 5 feet 9 inches tall in the United States. Interestingly though, the range of average heights across the world is quite broad.
