NYU sociologists tested data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics - which has been accumulating data on 5,000 households for almost 50 years - to study how a man’s height influences his relationship.

The researchers found short men - about 170cm or shorter - were 32 percent less likely to leave their partners. The NYU sociologists have also found short guys can do more housework.

Moreover, research at Oxford University found that short men tend to think negatively that people often gossip about their appearance. As a result, it created a perception that undermines the confidence of short men.
