最理想的男友身高
In the world of online dating, people place a huge premium on height. In fact, on many platforms, you'll find that many men don't even write a bio, simply choosing to indicate their height underneath their pictures (which, for the record, is not a good idea). But it may be that a tall frame isn't as much of an essential attribute to a potential match as you've been led to believe-at least on one platform.
在網戀的世界裏，人們對身高寄予厚望。事實上，在很多約會平臺上，大多數男性都不會寫個人簡介，他們只會在照片下方說明自己的身高（說實話，這並不是個好主意）。可能是因爲，對於潛在約會對象而言，身高並沒有那麼重要--至少在某個約會平臺上的確如此。E-harmony, an online dating website that prides itself on a questionnaire that matches you with people who are compatible, recently conducted a survey on how much height matters to their 10 million active users. Of those that responded to the poll, 32 percent of men said height is not very important, and only 6.5 percent found it very important. And only 14 percent of women who responded said it was very important, whereas 29 percent said it was not important at all.
E-harmony是一個在線約會網站，它會讓用戶填寫問卷，以此將用戶進行配對。該網站最近開展了一項研究：對於1000萬活躍用戶而言，身高到底多重要？迴應民意調查的人中，32%的男性表示身高並不是很重要，只有6.5%的人認爲它非常重要。參與調查的女性受試者中，只有14%的人表示身高很重要，另外有29%的人認爲身高一點都不重要。While the site obviously doesn't have data on other online dating platforms, like Bumble and Tinder, eharmony's Chief of Advice, Jeannie Assismos, believes the results could be indicative of the fact that people on eharmony are looking for meaningful connections, as opposed to short-term flings. "Maybe it's because people on eharmony are more thoughtful, or they really want a great relationship, so they know what matters, which is personality and intelligence," Assismos told Best Life. "I guess height might be more important if you're looking for something that's casual."
雖然很顯然的是，該網站沒有綜合其它約會平臺的數據，比如Bumble和Tinder，但是eharmony的主管簡寧·艾希莫斯（Jeannie Assismos）認爲這些結果可能表明：eharmony的用戶希望談一段有意義的戀愛，而非只是露水情緣。"也許是因爲eharmony的用戶更善於思考，或者他們真的很渴望一段真摯的感情，所以他們明白什麼纔是最重要的--個性和智慧，"艾希莫斯對Best Life雜誌說道。"若只是想談一場輕鬆兒點的戀愛，那你對身高的要求可能會更高一些。"
And if you're wondering what women cited as their "ideal height," you might be surprised that it's not quite as high as you would think. The most desirable height for men was between 5'8 to 5'9, based on which men were the most communicative and received the most responses, which is actually slightly shorter than the 5'9″ that has been deemed the average height of an adult American man. To some extent, this might not be as much of a surprise as it seems, given that most women just want a man who is taller than them, and the average adult American woman is only 5'3."
如果你還在想着女性所說的"理想身高"，請準備好大吃一驚：可能並沒有你所以爲的那麼高哦。基於網站上互動最多、得到回覆最多的男性數據，我們得出最理想的身高爲5英尺8寸到9寸，略低於美國成年男性的平均身高--5英尺9寸。在某種程度上，考慮到大多數女性只想找一個比自己高一點的男朋友（美國成年女性的平均身高--5英尺3寸），這一結果就不令人驚奇了。
