Do women prefer taller life partners?

London: A survey has revealed that most women want their partners to be at least 5 inches taller than them.

Almost one in five respondents said that a gap between four and six inches was the best match in the couple's height and five inches was the ideal, the Daily Star reported.

According to the survey, 70 per cent of women feel comfortable in a relationship where their man is taller than them, while only a quarter of women and 35 per cent of men said that height didn't matter.

A spokesperson for pleasure product firm Lovehoney , which conducted the survey, found that size does matter to a lot of couples and the heights of romance appears to be when the man is five inches taller than the woman, just like Prince William and Duchess Kate.
