Why do women prefer taller men?

Quote from: ReadRothbard on November 07, 2014, 04:47:55 PMIt doesn't exist in "basically evey culture on the planet". There are plenty of modern-day stone-age societies that don't have the preference. As for why men grow taller, we have less estrogen. Estrogen causes early growth plate closure; therefore, men will inevitably grow taller.

This study of the East-African Dogata people does not demonstrate a prevailing height preferance for taller men. Rather, the Dogata women actually considered a man of the same height to be ideal, with equal numbers of women also being attracted to tall and short stature in men (14% of women each, respectively).

I have heard or read somewhere that high testosterone levels also causes early growth plate closure, but im not sure if is accurate.

When did I ever say being short was superior?

I want to do ll for the benefits; obviously attraction to taller men is not genetic, but that doesn't mean women haven't been brainwashed into believing that tall men are better protectors, lovers, more masculine, etc. So, getting ll is simply taking advantage of the brainwashing both women and men have been exposed to that tall men are somehow better than short men.
