‘Whose wife is small, her name is big…’ This year old Amitabh Bachchan song was a big hit during that time. But this is not limited to songs only. In fact, it has often been seen in real life that boys find short girls beautiful.
For girls with short stature, such concerns are often raised, ‘How will marriage happen, how will a good relationship be found.’ But if men are to be believed, their priorities are opposite. A recent study revealed that boys find shorter girls more attractive. But why does this happen? Let us know the scientific reasons behind it.
What the studies say
Several researches and studies have found that men are attracted to women who physically match their expectations (such as short stature and thin bodies). However, this attraction can also change based on culture, personal reasons and prevailing ideas in the society. It is believed that men feel more emotionally attached to women who are shorter than them.
Men feel more emotionally attached to women who are younger than them.
1. Many studies have shown that men are generally attracted to women who are shorter than their height. This may be a biologically natural pattern, which positions women as “helpers” and “protectors” for men. This creates the feeling that shorter women look more attractive and delicate.
2. Throughout history and society, men have generally been considered physically stronger and taller than women, while women have traditionally been seen as a more gentle and motherly figure. So men’s attraction to shorter women may be partly a social construct.
3. Short girls reach for boy’s chest. In such a situation, they feel comfortable by hugging their partner. Some men feel a sense of security and care around shorter women, as a shorter height can be seen as more delicate and affectionate.
4. Balance in relationships: When there is a physical difference between a man and a woman (eg the man is taller than the woman), it creates a kind of balance in the relationship and a sense of traditional roles.
5. Short women are usually recognized for their delicacy and attractive body, which can attract the attention of men. Additionally, petite women generally have a more curvaceous-fit body, which some men find physically attractive.
