Quote from: ReadRothbard on November 04, 2014, 04:21:26 PMWhat evidence do you have that taller men have more "potential" to be stronger?
Bigger muscles?
taller people got bigger muscles . their muscle insertions are much more longer . so they could weight a lot more and have bigger muscles.
you cant have the muscle sice of a guy of 170kg if you weight 90.
The stongests power lifters in the world are over 6´0
u really think a women will judge a man based on how strong he is or how quickly can he punch, she may even consider him too violent, it has nothing to do with strength as to why women prefer taller men, just an aesthetic point of view
they prefer taller mans because TALL MANS ARE MORE AESTETIC THAN SHORTER ONES if they want mans for their strengt then strongmans would be the more atractive mans in the world.
What's more aesthetic about being tall?

This is not true. I don't know how many counter examples you need, but nowhere close to all top powerlifters are over 6 foot. They come from a wide range of heights. I'll list of some famous ones right now-
Konstantin Konstantinovs-6'3
Ed Coan-5'6
Kirk Karwoski-5'10
Don Reinhoudt-6'3
Jon Cole-5'10
Franco Columbu-5'4
Robb Buddha Philippus-5'9
Robert Wilkerson- 5'11
"Big James" Henderson- 6'3
"Ted" Arcidi- 5'11
Scott Mendelson- 6'1
Eric Spoto- 5'11
Hugh Cassidy-5'10
Benedict Magnusson-6'0
Paul Anderson-5'9.5 (Deceased)
Anthony Clark- 5'8 (Deceased)
"Gene" Rychlak- 6'1 (Deceased)
"Tiny" Meeker- 5'9
Bruno Samartino- 5'10
Doug Hepburn- 5'8.5 (Deceased)
So, no; you are wrong. Top powerlifters come in a whole range of heights.

Do you not know the difference between WSM competitors and powerlifters?
Besides, powerlifting is a better indication of strength that the WSM
Well the honest answer to OP is that no one knows for sure but the fact is that women do prefer tall men. What still amaze me is just how important it is to women, I can't believe I never heard more about it in everyday life always thought that if you had a handsome face you were pretty much set. I think height is really underrated when it comes to attraction the vast majority of women view it as a major attractive trait.
I'm not trying to put down shorter people here height is just one thing that make up a attractive person. I'm just dumbfounded by how important it really is, I never would have guessed, it seems so arbitrary when you're unaware.
