From the AFP (Paris):
Researchers at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands and University of Valencia in Spain
asked 549 Dutch and Spanish men and women to rate how jealous they
felt, and to list the qualities in a romantic competitor that were most
likely to make them ill at ease.Men generally felt most nervous about attractive, rich and strong rivals. But these feelings were increasingly relaxed the taller they were themselves. The more vertically challenged the man, the greater his feelings of jealousy. For women, what counted most in jealousy was the rival’s looks and charm, but these feelings were less intense if the woman herself was of average height.
