Study: Why women attract towards Taller men

"Evolutionary psychology theory argues that similarity is overwhelmingly the rule in human mating," said Michael Emerson, the Allyn and Gladys Cline Professor of Sociology at Rice University in Texas.

According to the study, dominant reasons that females cited for preferring a tall partner are matters of protection and femininity. "As a girl, I like to feel delicate and secure at the same time," said a woman in the study.
