Size does Matter for Love

According to a study by Dr Boguslaw Pawlowski of the Royal Society a man knows when a woman is for him by the distance he looks down on her! Height is the crucial factor and other vital statistics such as waist and chest come second. Only when a couple decide that their height ratio is right do they consider other features such as looks and body shape.
The perfect height ratio for comaptibility is 1:1.09 (Man's height/Woman's height). This suggests that the ideal mate for a woman 5ft 8in tall would be a man about 6ft 2in. In contrast a woman of 5ft 2 in might seek out men 5ft 8 in height. The study suggests that David Beckham (6 ft) and Victoria Beckham (5 ft 7 in) are an almost ideal couple. David would need an extra inch to make him a true Mr Perect!
As with most theories this breaks down for extremes as very tall men prefer very short women and vice versa, an apparent attempt to have average sized children. Is this true at home?!!
