Quotes

Shubhankar Zingrehas quoted2 years ago
study in 2009 by psychologist Gayle Brewer showed that the taller a man is, the less jealousy he tends to experience in romantic relationships. Likewise, tall men are less likely to engage in mate retention behaviors such as constantly making sure he knows where his partner is and provoking fights with flirtatious men, according to Brewer.
