I’d never date a bloke under 6ft – they’re insecure, rubbish in bed and useless around the house – The Sun

SIZE really does matter to these ladies who refuse to date any blokes shorter than 6ft – and it seems they might have the right idea.

Pint-sized women and tall men have been found to have happier, more successful marriages, according to a study.

Here, three women tell Fabulous Digital why lanky blokes are better protectors, hotter lovers and more useful to have around the house.

'SHORT MEN AREN'T ATTRACTIVE'

Nikki Tapley, who is 5ft 5in, and her 6ft 6in husband Mike have been together for 15 years. 

They live in Southampton with their two daughters. Nikki is a business mentor coach.

I’ve never met a short man who I’ve found attractive. Being attracted to guys over 6ft is how women are built – we’re designed to survive.

They’re the protector, the hunter, so as a woman, you want a tall, manly man to protect you.

In cave man days, if you were a woman looking after kids, and a lion approached, would you want to be looked after by a big, tall, burly strong man or by some tiny bloke you could probably outrun?

I’ve always gone for tall men; the physical attraction isn’t there with short guys.

I’d be worried about wearing heels and being taller than them – the man is supposed to be taller, that’s his role.

I’m curvy and being with a lanky guy makes me like my figure more, it’s more balanced.

When I first saw Mike it was in a club on a student night out while we were at university and he was literally head and shoulders above everyone else.

There is a clear foot between Mike and I but he’s a gentle giant. He’s very romantic. He loves to come up behind me and give me what he calls ‘sneak’ hugs.

We enjoy a good sex life – the height difference doesn’t affect it. But he does have to bend his neck down when we kiss.

'SIZE DOES MATTER WHEN IT COMES TO SEX'

5ft 2in mum-of-two Emma Kirkham, 45, from Staffordshire, has been with 6ft 4in Dirk Lettina, 30, for six years. She runs her own handmade glass company.

When it comes to sex, let’s just say size really does matter. Dirk’s not shy when it comes to getting intimate – he says what he wants and that’s it.

I once dated someone who was shorter than me and I just found the whole concept weird. I felt like I was more of the man than he was.

Because Dirk is bigger, I see him as being more masculine, he’s more powerful.

I wouldn’t be physically attracted to someone who was shorter – even if they had the same personality as Dirk.

It’s like the little dog syndrome – you see them yapping, trying to act bigger than they are.

But I know Dirk’s not trying to be something that he isn’t. Because of his height, he’s much happier than a shorter man – he’s not insecure.

I was really unhappy with my marriage when I met Dirk. My ex-husband was shorter than Dirk and very heavily built.

Sometimes if you’re a smaller man and you’re overweight, you feel like you’ve got to prove yourself in other ways. I found him really domineering, I always felt small and overpowered.

But with Dirk, I don’t get that feeling. He showed me not all men are the same. He wasn’t the reason my relationship ended, but he certainly played a part.

I have the security of him being taller than me, that he can protect me. Because he’s taller he’s got that quiet confidence – he doesn’t need to show off as he gets that attention with his height.

Our first kiss was at a party – he had to bend down quite far and I went on tip toes.

'IT'S MORE PRACTICAL LIVING WITH A TALL MAN'

Dr Emee Vida Estacio, 37, 4ft 11.5in, and her 6ft husband Andreas Chorozoglou, 42, have been together for 11 years.

They live in Newcastle-under-Lyme with their four-year-old son. Emee is a best-selling author who supports entrepreneurs turning their story into a book.

Being with someone so tall makes me feel like I’m a little girl – there’s something quite primitive to it.

When we go out, it’s as though I have my own personal bodyguard; his body is protecting me.

I feel more feminine when I’m with Andreas – I tend to be quite bossy and dominant but because he’s so tall, it balances it out.

I come from the Philippines, so most of the men there are shorter. It would be different if I had stayed there.

When I take him home to show him off to the family, they always say he’s really gorgeous because he’s so tall. He’s like a basketball player to us.

We complement each other. At home there are things I can’t reach that he gets, and there are places that he couldn’t fit that I do, it’s very practical.

I was instantly attracted to him. He was a friend of my housemate and we got talking – there was a definite spark.

Our first kiss was while I was lying down asleep. I don’t think it would have happened another way because I’m quite awkward. We’re also a perfect fit in the bedroom.

Everybody – men and women – find him attractive. He’s very popular with gay men. All the gay men I know say, "oh my goodness, your husband is so gorgeous". I don’t mind at all.

It’s amplified by his height. I’m surprised he didn’t become a model, he fits the bill.

Earlier this week, we spoke to three couples who timed themselves having sex to see how long women REALLY take to orgasm.

Meanwhile, these shallow men who refuse to date women over size 8 because they see them as ‘lazy’, ‘not good for my image’ and ‘sex hungry’.
