Do women prefer a taller man?

When it comes to love, size really does matter, research suggests. For height is the key to sexual attraction.

Only after a couple have decided the difference in height between them is right do they consider face, personality and body shape, it is claimed.

Men prefer to look down on a woman, while women are attracted to taller men.

The scientists have even worked out the ideal proportions - a man should be 1.09 times taller than his partner. This can be expressed as a ratio of 1.09:1.

It suggests that the ideal partner for a 5ft 8in woman is a man who stands 6ft 2in. By contrast a woman of 5ft 2in would seek out a man of around 5ft 8in.

The study by Polish anthropologist Dr Boguslaw Pawlowski, to be published by the Royal Society, suggests we are programmed to choose partners according to this formula.

A man would have to divide his own height by 1.09, and a woman multiply hers by the same figure, to find the ideal, according to the professor's theory.

However, exceptions to the rule immediately spring to mind. Rod Stewart and girlfriend Penny Lancaster, for instance.

Stewart's official height of 5ft 11in appears not only extremely optimistic but incompatible with the statuesque 6ft 1in frame of Miss Lancaster, giving them a far from ideal ratio of 0.97:1.

Anyone applying the theory to 5ft 11in Nicole Kidman and 5ft 7in Tom Cruise, meanwhile, would have been able to predict that their love was doomed.

Their height ratio is 0.94:1. After their divorce Miss Kidman quipped: "At least I can wear high heels again."

Professor Pawlowski, of the University of Wroclaw, said: 'Females prefer taller men. Taller men have higher social status, earn more and are at lower risk from illness.

'They also have better reproductive success, as do shorter women - so a male will look for a smaller female.'

In his study, 600 men and women aged 19-50 were shown outlines of couples of varying heights and asked to say which best represented the ideal.

A majority plumped for those with the height ratio of 1.09:1.

The findings suggest that David Beckham, at 6ft, and his 5ft 7in wife Victoria are an almost perfect match.

But what about exceptionally tall or short people who tend to find partners much shorter or much taller than themselves?

According to the professor, this is down to the unconscious knowledge that they could produce abnormally tall or short children if they married someone of a similar stature.

Eat Cottage Cheese at Night to Grow Taller!

As You May or may Not know...Eating Carbs Late at night Dampens the Release of Growth Hormone.  And if your Trying to Grow Taller then By Eating Carbs before Bed Could have a real Negative Effect on your Height Goals.

 For those of you who like a bedtime snack, cottage cheese is one of your best options as it is made up of slow-digesting casein protein and few carbs.  The slow digesting proteins keep your amino acid levels up through the night, which discourages muscle breakdown while you ‘fasting’ during your 8ish hours of sleep. 

I mostly opt for low fat, small curd cheese.  If you are watching your sodium intake I recommend a lower sodium brand, as cottage cheese is high in sodium, it’s only downfall, in my opinion.

If You are doing a Grow Taller Stretching Program or Grow Taller Workout Program then This will be an Essential to Curb Those Carb Cravings and Provide the Proteins & Amino acids Your Body needs in order to Grow Taller & increase height!

Hugh Jackman Star of X-men and Brand New Film Release REAL STEEL  is a Solid 6ft 2"

Australian actor from X-Men. Van Helsing director Sommers says, "six-foot-two and 210 pounds of solid steel".

Jackman in his own words, "I'm 6-foot-2, so I'm too tall to sit comfortably in most chairs". Sometimes at events he will wear those ultra-thin style trainers that only give 1cm, compared to 3cm for a shoe so might appear to be shorter.

How To Grow Taller

A lot of people, especially young people! Wonder if it’s possible to Grow Taller & Increase Height.

Some people believe that after certain ages (usually Teens) that to Grow Taller is impossible and they have missed the chance to do it.

            People can Still Grow Taller regardless of their age.  Usually the only thing separating someone who has Grown Taller to someone who hasn’t is determination & positivity.  Obviously this won’t work for someone with a height disorder like dwarfism.  But for anyone else there is a very Strong Possibility that you can Grow Taller.

            Extensive research Has shown that Even into your Late 20’s men and women can still Grow Taller and encourage late growth spurts and grow anywhere between 1-14 inches.  After early 30’s the chance to Grow Taller and have a second Growth Spurt becomes slim but not impossible.  We must remember that different bodies act in different ways.

            The Major element which decides whether we have this growth spurt or not is our environment and attitude.  In order to get this extension in height we need to get the correct Nutrition, Exercise, sleep and attitude. Negative thoughts and Stress must be put aside in order to help this process.

            The good news is there is no specific age that you need to start this in order for it to work.  If you have got to your Mid-twenties and are not satisfied with your statue then there is plenty you can do to encourage a second Growth Spurt.

            There are plenty of Grow Taller Products out there.  It can be quite a task trying to filter through which ones to use and which not to.  We can Forget about all the companies that Make the Pills and potions to help people grow taller.  We can forget about the shoe insole companies. 


I have found that there are a lot of Good EBooks out there that can help.  However these EBooks generally tell you EVERYTHING you can do to Grow Taller without giving any idea of frequency, amount, how often and repetition etc.  These EBooks do have a degree of success but its kind of like joining the Gym and telling the trainer that you want to lose weight and them just giving you a complete program of how to use every Machine and how to perform every exercise in the GYM. Not only is this too much information in one go but you would never reach any specific goals if you did EVERYTHING.  From speaking to people on forums and across the internet I have found that the highest Success rate for Growing Taller is from Specific Height Programs.  There are a FEW available to you.  A Website called www.taller4u.com have a DVD out called “Grow 6 Inches Taller in 90 days” which is a Specific Training Program (stretching, diet, sleep, posture) which will help you to Grow Taller.  The same Company also have a Brand New DVD that Goes hand in hand with that DVD Called “The Grow Taller Workout” (www.thegrowtallerworkout.com) when these two DVD’s are Combined together you can Expect to See Results after just 45 days. 

            The Great thing about these two programs is that they show you how to Grow Taller Step By Step.  They Give you Specifics on Exercise, Diet, Frequency and time which is Easy to follow and not overwhelming like some of those Bible size eBooks.  Also as they are DVDs, you can watch them on your TV at your own leisure. The “Grow 6 Inches Taller in 90 days” DVD concentrates More on Stretching Exercises and “The Grow Taller Workout” Focus on specific training methods that helps release Growth Hormone.  So when Combined they make a Great recipe for Growing Taller! This is No miracle Cure but a Scientifically Proven Way to Encourage a second Growth Spurt.  You will have to be Determined to Grow Taller.  You must ensure you perform the Correct Diet, Exercises, sleep and activities required.  If You stick to a Program like this then you will Definitely Grow Taller!  Only those that Truly want to Grow Taller Will.
