Married men who stand below 5ft 7in are 32pc less likely to divorce their partner than grooms of average height, according to a 2014 New York University study. Smaller men are also less likely to get into fights or be antagonised – counter to what Small Man Syndrome may suggest. Not having to deal with these stressors makes for a calmer life and, as a result, the chances of developing depression or anxiety also diminish.
