Short guys get a bad rap, but most of them are sexier than their vertically-gifted peers. In my experience, they tend to be sexier, more confident, and less self-conscious than most other guys. Research has shown short guys make better partners, too. They also do more housework than tall and average-height guys and are more likely to bring home more money, the study found.
The difference also extends to the bedroom: A recent study published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine found that short guys have more sex than taller men.
We might as well take a pass on a potentially great guy because his leg hair curls the wrong way. According to my Facebook stalking , Stephen has dated plenty of other women who were taller than him since we broke up. Weight Loss. United States. My first wife was about the same height as me. My second long-term partner was the six-footer, and my third my second wife was a 5ft 8in rower I met at Molesey Boat Club.
