If you’re looking for a man who’s tall, dark, and handsome, you might want to shift your gaze down a foot. It turns out, short guys may make better partners\u2014and if you marry one, your relationship is more likely to last, according to New York University research.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

For the study, two NYU sociologists examined data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics\u2014which has been collecting info on 5,000 families for almost 50 years\u2014to determine how a man’s height impacts his relationships.<\/p>\n

They found that shorter men (about 5’7″ or shorter) were less likely to marry than their more vertical counterparts, but they were 32 percent less likely to divorce.<\/p>\n

Why? Researchers aren’t exactly sure, but they believe that short men may just make better mates.<\/p>\n

Case in point:<\/strong> The study found that they do a greater share of housework compared to tall and even average-height guys. The average short guy performs 8 hours and 28 minutes of housework a week\u2014compared to just 7 hours 38 minutes for average-height guys, and 7 hours 30 minutes for tall men. As far as the researchers are concerned, the taller a guy is, the more he thinks he\u2019s “above” those duties.<\/p>\n

And contrary to the completely false short-guys-aren’t-powerful stigma, according to the study, short men are also more likely to bring home the bucks than the taller guys.<\/p>\n

Plus, short guys have sex with their partners more often, per a recent study published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
