People with the same height may be more likely to love each other

People tend to choose lovers who have the same height because it helps them to look into each other's eyes longer, easier, from which affection becomes easier. That is the conclusion of British scientists in a study of the genetic nature of lovers but ironically, this study denies recent research conducted by Korean scientists. The higher the height difference between men and women, the greater the level of happiness increases .

In the study, scientists at the University of Edinburgh analyzed genetic information for more than 13,000 couples and found that one of the factors behind regulating mate selection is the genes responsible. mandate to define the size of each person.

The lead researcher, Professor Albert Tenesa, said: "Our genome controls the level of attraction for partners of the same height, such as tall people who often choose tall people. that 89% of gene variants affect personal preferences about the height of others and themselves, thereby leading to an innate hobby of partners of equal height. "

The greater the height between men and women, the higher the level of happiness.

This team led the database from the study of British biological banks, the team extracted 13,068 white British couples and genotypic analysis of 26,136 other individuals. relate to. According to that study, each individual's genotype could be used to predict their spouse's height with 13% accuracy. According to the team this time, the previous number may not be accurate, but once they have determined it to be a genetic factor, in theory, this ratio can be increased to 64%.

Tenesa said: "The height correlation of couples is motivated by the observation of the physical characteristics of partners, especially their height, rather than being influenced by social structures or The genetic factor of the population they live in. The way we choose partners is biologically important to the field of social studies, which gives us more understanding of complex nature. the incidence of natural sexual attraction and mechanisms for controlling human variations ".

However, the conclusions of this study are inadvertently in conflict with another recently published study conducted by scientists at Konkuk University, Korea. Accordingly, Korean scientists have discovered that the greater the height difference between men and women, the more happy women will be , at least for a while and this will weaken over time. year.

Combining both studies, it is clear that the relationship between height, attractiveness and the level of happiness of couples is still unclear and perhaps more research needs to be done first. when making the final conclusion.
