What role does a woman's height play in a relationsip?

Recently, Miss Uganda Hannah Karema Tumukunde revealed that she struggled to date in high school because of her height. She would friendzone suitors while others stayed away out of intimidation.

This study found that both men and women found taller people more desirable. Taller vs shorter, which group is more well off?

Personal Vs social-cultural standards

Personal interest in dating partners is a very subjective matter. What one man or woman thinks is attractive, another might see things differently. When it comes to height, some men love taller women and have taller partners, while others prefer someone shorter than them.

There are personal preferences at play, but there are social-cultural influences at play too. When people notice a significant height difference, it draws attention and some people may point it out.

This can deter some men, and boys, from pursuing or even considering a woman or girl taller than them. It might be about what society thinks, or personal preference.

However, there are also some women who would not date a man shorter than them. It is actually more common that women to have serious issues with men shorter than them.

So, is height a determinant of attraction?

The is not really. You could be "perfect" by predetermined standards and still not be attractive to someone. You could also be shorter than him and not be up to his standards.

However, here are some things men find attractive in women regardless of height

A woman or girl who is comfortable in her skin and has self-confidence.

Women who ooze self-love and self-expression.

It also works the other way around

As a woman who is comfortable in her skin, you will be able to land men who will not have hang-ups about your height.

You will also be able to get passed height differences and choose people who are good for you rather than simply looking good with you.

It is also important to note that female models are some of the tallest people on the planet and they are the epitome of what society considers beautiful.

"I once dated a man who was 5'5" and I am a very tall 5'7" (I have great posture and wear heels nearly every day). He told me that he liked that I was taller because it made him feel like he was with a model (I am not a model)," says Anni P.

"I am 5" taller than my husband in bare feet. He says, "go ahead and wear heels, it makes me look rich." Haha," says Valerie Fletcher.

Conclusion

There are many factors that determine attraction for each person and most of those factors are set in stone. The important thing, for both men and women, is to be comfortable in their skin and their self-identity which is the most attractive thing about anyone.
