The results showed a clear pattern: men often preferred women slightly shorter than average, while women often preferred men slightly taller than average.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Researchers believe these preferences may come from a mix of psychology, social expectations, and cultural ideas about femininity, confidence, protection, and compatibility.
