Most men seek a spouse who has a bachelors degree, is 160-165 centimeters tall, and makes 20 million to 30 million won a year. Women reported wanting a man who is a university graduate, 175-180 centimeters tall, and makes 40 million to 50 million won a year.

``The average male respondent wants a bride who is 162.6 centimeters tall with an annual salary of 28 million won. Women are searching for a husband who is 174.4 centimeters in height with annual income of 43 million won,'' said the company spokesman.

in somewhat related news.

Fox is bringing the word REALITY back to the concept of "reality show".

In North America at least.

Ya, I don't think "More to Love" is going to last too long.

Most people I know don't watch these shows for the romantic part, they watch it for the cat fights, the name-calling, the drama. "More to Love" is sooooo tame.

God damnit, I'm too tall for men by about 9 cm.

Yet I'm apparently the height of what women want. Huh.

Curse you statistics! You foil me again! *Shakes face*

I've yet to find a woman I'd consider too tall...but at 193 I haven't seen a lot of girls even close to my height.
