So I was thinking about this the other day...
Clearly, people feel that women give unlimited value to a man's height and limited value to his physique.
I believe, based on experience, that there is some truth to this, but only initially. Let me explain...
A women sees two guys. One is 173CM tall and the other is 185CM tall. Both of these guys are wearing nice clothes and are well presented overall. When guys are wearing clothes, their physiques are concealed so a woman doesn't know what their bodies look like, and only what their heights are. This buffs the tall guy's appearance and nerfs the short guy's (sorry for the gamer reference). In this situation, the tall guy wins...
Ok. Now say that both guys take off their clothes... if the tall guy is 200lbs with a beer belly and a sunken chest and the short guy is 165lbs and ripped, it GREATLY evens the scale.
I know this from personal experience. When I was in college I was in insane shape (7% body fat). One day I walked around by apartment without a shirt and some of the girls who were over were gawking and staring at my body. I usually got no attention, but I noticed that the girls were turned on. One even asked if I was an athlete. Also, I was blessed with a big package, and sometimes I see a girls eyes locked on my pants. I'm not trying to show off guys, I swear. I'm just trying to show that there are other things besides height that can create physical attraction.
Height is important, but I think there are other ways to even the scale if you know what I mean.
Counter argument to women preferring height over an athletic, muscular body.
ok , but in your daily life you doesnt go by the Street undressed , so height is the really important thing. by the other way 173cm inst too short

I was just using that number as a comparison. Could be 167CM.
i have been with a really nice physic during a lot of years , im 165 and it didnt work. yes if you are undressed you gain points, but in daily life your physic isnt showed because you wear clothes so the important thing is your face , your height and dont be fat.
Height is just a way women can generalize about your body, yet again it is like that "hand size:penis size" correlation, WHICH IS NONE! It is funny how women claim to be smarter than us yet they are the ones that rely in looks more than we do...
actually men prefer looks more than women do.
that is why height supersedes looks.
women and men have different criteria for mate selection with crossover in some areas.

I respectfully disagree. Are you telling me that more woman would take a 6' 2" average looking guy over Ian Somerholder or Zac Efron (assuming they aren't celebrities)?
I doubt it.

Yes that's true. We never hear most men say things such as "women's height is correlated to vagina size" or things like that though I know at least one guy who said it so I brought it as an example.

Lol I like this guy!
But, seriously, body language also needs to be takn into account when comparing a 173 cm and a 185 cm guy.
This is the way I think of it: say two men were to apply to a male stripping agency. One is a 6'2, 25% bodyfat, doesn't work out, and the other guy is a ripped, good-looking 5'7 or 5'8 guy. Who do you think is going to make it? There is your answer.
