Women who have taller husbands are happier

Does the fact that they did this study in Indonesia matter?

Also, I like tall dudes and I have said it here 10,000x. My husband is 6’4”. Downvote me, munchkins!

Maybe because these are 4'9 Indonesian women?

Because women seem to have an almost neurotic investment in appearing virtuous, and hate the thought of themselves being shallow. This is why they say personality is more important than looks (not that looks aren't important at all) when it's clear to anyone who has spent any amount of time in the real world that this is laughably untrue.

There are a lot of people that will deny blatant reality if doing so makes them feel like they're a good person.

Correct. But curiously the man being more attractive makes her less happy. The wife being more attractive makes the man happier.

https://psycnet.apa.org/record/2013-35735-001

In all 4 studies, both partners’ physical attractiveness was objectively rated at baseline, and both partners reported their marital satisfaction up to 8 times over the first 4 years of marriage. Whereas husbands were more satisfied at the beginning of the marriage and remained more satisfied over the next 4 years to the extent that they had an attractive wife, wives were no more or less satisfied initially or over the next 4 years to the extent that they had an attractive husband.

Instead, the relative difference between partners’ levels of attractiveness appeared to be most important in predicting marital behavior, such that both spouses behaved more positively in relationships in which wives were more attractive than their husbands, but they behaved more negatively in relationships in which husbands were more attractive than their wives.
