Shorter men have more long-lasting marriages,but ladies still go for the taller ones

First, answer this question, which is rare- a short husband with a tall wife or a short wife with a tall husband? Same thought as me too, i guess the later is more common.
I am yet to understand ladies obsessiveness to tall guys. Though it is proposed that Shorter men have more long-lasting marriages, but ladies still go for the taller ones same reason a man is not concerned when his ugly wife stays out late. he is sure no man probably wants her.

It turns out a man's height has always helped him get to first base. Nearly 10 years ago, a test concocted to illustrate an indisputable rule of love: height matters.

The test recruited men tall and short and put them in lineups behind a two-way mirror, then invited groups of women to look at the lineup and choose a date. The women were told various positive things about the shorter men -- the men were described as having interesting careers, impressive educational pedigrees or a lot of money. The women always chose the tall men.

Nothing succeeded in making them prefer the shorter men. One woman even suggested that they should describe the tall men as "murderers" to even the odds for the shorter men in the test.

Professor Allen Mazur of Syracuse University, who at 5-foot-7 stands a few inches below average himself, did a study that found taller men are likely to marry more often and have more children. Mazur said one possible reason for his finding is that "taller men, by virtue of being more attractive to women, perhaps have more opportunities with women other than their wives, which leads to a breakup of marriage, which leads to a remarriage to a younger woman, which leads to another child."

Would it be fair to say from the study that it seems that taller men were hot and the shorter men were not? "That would be an inference. You could also infer that the shorter men are better husbands, and they have more long-lasting marriages," Mazur said.
