Men are most satisfied when they are 3 inches (8cm) taller than their partner. Another study found that among men, 13.5 percent prefer to date only women shorter than them.

Why do guys want shorter girls?

Perhaps the most practical reason why a guy will be attracted to a short girl over other tall women is that they are short too. Men often feel like they have to be the taller of the two people in a relationship and so they will actively seek out short girls so that they are not overlooked by their girlfriend.
