Like men, women know exactly what they want when it comes to a potential sex partner. We all know what us men crave in a woman. Nice ass, tits, great skin, legs, lips and for most men, she has to be petite. For women, its all the same things the men desire (sans the tits of course), but women tend to find tall men more attractive. So if you're a tall guy in OK shape with a nice smile and sense of humor, you will probably get laid tonight.
What sort of body does a woman find desirable? Perhaps the most obvious physical characteristic she looks for in a man is height. Studies consistently find that women consider tall men to be attractive. In analyses of personal ads, 80 per cent of women state they want to meet a man who is 6ft or taller.Men who indicate in their personal ads that they are tall have also been shown to receive far more responses from women.
Other studies show women prefer tall men as husbands and put an even greater emphasis on height in shorter-term sex partners. Women even place importance on height when selecting sperm donors.
Two studies also found that taller-than-average men tend to have a greater number of live-in girlfriends and more children, confirming their popularity for romance and reproduction.
And there does seem to be an underlying logic in women's preference for tall men. In Western cultures, tall men tend to have higher socio-economic status than short men.
Each added inch of height has been shown to add several thousand pounds to a man's annual salary.
It is estimated that, on average, 6ft men earn more than £100,000 across a 30-year career than 5ft 5in men.
They also tend to be healthier than shorter men - and if they're policemen, they get assaulted less than their shorter colleagues, which suggests height commands more respect from other men. What more could a girl want?
