Quanto conta la statura nell’amore?Secondo una
ricerca dello psicologo GertStulp dell’Università di Groningen gli uomini
preferiscono le donne basse, non per una semplice questione di gusto, le
motivazione di tale scelta sarebbero addirittura rintracciabili a livello
genetico. Secondo lo studio dell’Ateneo olandese le donne basse tendono a
scegliere uomini alti e gli uomini alti le donne basse. La teoria è stata confermata
da un esperimento a cui hanno partecipato diecimila coppie inglesi.
Inconsciamente l’altezza di un uomo
rappresenta per la donna una protezione
necessaria. Al contrario la bassa statura della donna rappresenta per l’uomo
un’ideale di tenerezza e amore. Non è tutto. Sembra infatti che gli uomini
tendano a preferire le donne più basse perché nel loro corpo c’è una maggiore
presenza di estrogeni*, gli ormoni femminili che sono invece ridotti nelle
donne alte. * estrogen
