People often associate better qualities with taller men as a result of [[halo effect]]. There are indeed some correlations, e.g. IQ [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Height_and_intelligence correlates weakly] with body height. Presumably, the optimum is in the middle, which is indeed reflected in women's preferences. 10 cm more body height, in fact, shortens lifespan by 5 years, leading to more joint wear, cardiovascular disease etc. (Samaras, 2002). Women being less interested in very tall men may also be a result of norms, especially ones that discourage large age gaps (male-not-too-tall norm, e.g. Tao, 2016). | |||
