‘Tall, dark and handsome’ has been the stereotypical criteria for what a woman looks for in a man for as long as we can remember. It’s had us all lusting for the likes of Jason Momoa and Hemsworth brothers, while also sparking insecurities among many men under the 6ft bar, but that’s all set to change, according to new research suggesting that the ideal height for a man is actually 5ft 8in. A study by dating app Badoo has revealed the height as being the most right-swiped among their users who range between the ages of 18-30. After surveying 20,000 Brits, Badoo concluded that 5ft 8in was the most popular height for men, while 5ft 10in and 5ft 6in followed closely. For women, 5ft 5in was the most right-swiped height while 5ft 3in and 5ft 7in came second and third place. The full Badoo list is below:

Most attractive height for men

5ft 8in 5ft 10in 5ft 6in 6ft 5ft 9in

Most attractive height for women

5ft 5in 5ft 3in 5ft 7in 5ft 2in 5ft

According to the Office of National Statistics, the average height of a man in the UK is 5ft 9in ( (175.3cm) and a woman is 5ft 3in (161.6cm) – both of which don’t match the ‘most attractive’ heights. But luckily, appearance isn’t the only thing you need to secure a date on the app – or life in general for that matter. ‘A person’s dating app bio is the only way to give an insight into their personality and to showcase what’s truly behind the superficiality of their profile photos. Whilst stating your height is not discouraged, it is more about the delivery of these personal statistics that are swaying people into swiping left or right,’ Badoo’s dating expert, Abbie Goulding said in a statement. ’88 per cent of Badoo users are more likely to swipe right if a person’s bio makes them laugh, as opposed to 16 per cent who are more likely to swipe left if they don’t consider someone to be their perfect height.’

So when it comes down to it? It’s all in the personality!

How long is an average kiss?

According to this study, it's 12 seconds - which seems like a bloody long time if you ask us. To calculate the optimum length of a kiss, Virgin Atlantic held a live experiment on Facebook, posting a video of a woman and a man kissing at the airport.

Seeing as we almost hate participating in PDA more than watching PDA (almost), our goodbye kisses are usually short in length with minimal contact between parties, but what actually is the ideal length of a kiss?

According to this study, it's 12 seconds - which seems like a bloody long time if you ask us. To calculate the optimum length of a kiss, Virgin Atlantic held a live experiment on Facebook, posting a video of a woman and a man kissing at the airport. They asked participating viewers to send a shocked emoji at the moment that thought marked the ideal moment to end the kiss - which was 12 seconds in.

Tumblr

Considering the Kiss and Fly experiment video had over 36,000 views and 628 reactions, a fair amount of people got involved in the study and shared their thoughts on the ideal length of a kiss - but it is down to personal opinion, rather than any scientific proof or otherwise.

Still, pretty interesting, huh?

Virgin Atlantic has introduced a unique parking service; kiss&fly. This free, hour-long parking short stay facility is available exclusively for the airline's customers to Gatwick's North Terminal.
