First of all, I am 6' and can larp to 6'3 with elevator shoes, before anyone says cope or smth like that. This also wont be a thread about muh increased risk of certain health problems (back pain and osteoarthritis) and muh risk of certain types of cancer, such as colon and rectal cancer or muh cardiovascular disease and stroke or muh shorter life span. This is water, everyone should know this by now.

In primal times, being tall will not have provided any significant evolutionary benefit for men. This is because the main method of survival and competition for resources was through the USE OF WEAPONS rather than through physical strength or size. In this context, taller and stronger men would not have had any distinct advantage in hunting or defending themselves against other humans or animals.

Additionally, taller men would not have had any inherent advantage in hunting or fighting animals with their bare hands. While strength and size can be beneficial in certain situations, the ability to effectively use tools and weapons would have been a more important factor in survival.

Furthermore, the concept of "averageness" suggests that individuals of average height and build would have been more likely to survive and reproduce. This is because they would have had a BALANCE OF BOTH STRENGTH AND AGILITY, making them well-suited for a variety of tasks and situations. In contrast, taller men may have been more prone to injuries and illnesses, which would have hindered their ability to survive and reproduce.

Taller men also do not have had any mating advantage because physical strength and size were not the primary factors that determined success in competition for mates. Instead, factors such as intelligence, social status, and the ability to provide resources would have been more important. Taller men do not have any inherent advantage in these areas and therefore would not have had any distinct advantage in attracting partners.

TLDR: Average height or slightly above average I ideal. Therefore 178-186 (5'10-6'1) is good and 182-186 (5'11.5-6'1) is ideal. Below 178 is bad and over 186 is bad (not as bad as below 178).

And dont comment and say muh face has no advantage in men competition either. A gl face stands for health and thus for good genes over more than one generation and correct development at the same time.

"factors such as intelligence, social status, and the ability to provide"

Height is literally correlated with this. Its all about "perceived" importance. Height is showing dominance basically mogging. JFL shit thread

You typed all this and it won't change the fact women want taller men for boyfriends/husbands/ONS/sons and that men want to be taller.

Cope. For a long time humans mostly used bare knuckles to win fights. Our hands and faces even evolved for punching mechanics. Even with the use of primitive weapons height and physical strength still very important. Shit thread

thats like sayin having hair has no evolutionary benefit other theb slightly reducing the risks of skin cancer at the age over 50 (an age which not many reached anyways)

hair and height are honest health makers and signs of genetic fitness and hence desired by women

That is categorically untrue. Brits have studied the average working class boys and those who went to Sandhurst military academy (the elite of the elite), and sons of the elite have been 5 to 9 inches taller than the working class for centuries.

That means when they grew up, working class men were an average of 5'2 to 5'4 while the average upper class man was 5'7 to 6'2.
And this was at a time when getting quality nutrition was a challenge for everyone - not just the poor, as shortages, famines, wars were frequent throughout most peoples lives.


Improved nutrition has since closed that gap, but the gap still exists.
Families with centuries of wealth still produce taller sons and daughters than those from middle class or poor families.

There are exceptions of course, and poor people can be tall too, but the statistical correlation is there.
The offspring of wealthy families have had higher reproductive success because their children were more likely to survive.

Poorer families often had numerically more children - but most of them died at childbirth or due to famine and disease at a very early age, leading to very poor reproductive fitness.

wingspan ( and ape index) is a known athletic advantage, we spend most of our evolution chucking spears and rocks at game from a distance, the best hunters reproduced.

Are shorter guys better at throwing spears etc? Isn't that why a lot of people think we drove Neanderthals to extinction because their shorter bodies werent adapted enough to deal with the taller Cro-magnons advantages when it came to hunting and inflicting damage from a distance.
 
Height does have an evolutionary advantage, it’s called sexual attractiveness. It’s the just like boobs on women.

but the real question is why women find it attractive even though it has no advantage ?

Because it’s a sexually dimorphic (masculine) trait. It also indicates dominance because the larger animal is always perceived as dominant.

I disagree. 4'5 is ideal because you can hide easier.
 
So.much retarded comments here , brutal
